I'm not sure what single moment to pick from Hummer. The way that song moves and develops is so perfect.

xp I hadn't noticed before, but I wonder whether that was a deliberate reference back to the verse in Snail. "Flower, the pain will wash away / When the sun shines / Climbs through your window"
― jmm, Monday, 9 April 2018 19:05 (six years ago) link
idk if it's a deliberate reference so much as rain tends to fall on everyone

Billy sure likes his 'key words', sun shining, flowers, trees. Not sure if it's a deliberate ref to Snail, but it's most def a reference to Corgan himself, of yore.

it is the hint of something about to be unchained later, but it's somehow the best part in a song that really tries to top itself until the very end

Was just listening through TAFH this afternoon and was struck by how much Believe has in common with Tonight Tonight. Like it could just as easily have been sung by Billy and given the full urgent orchestral treatment that TT got. I'm curious if either was a conscious rewrite of the other.

I think of "Here Is No Why" as the "Mayonaise" of MCIS to me -- a non-rocker, non-single that has hit people in an emotional way over the years and is often held in as high regard as the singles. And looking back it probably should have been a single.
― Sam Weller, Tuesday, 10 April 2018 08:29 (six years ago) link
Full disclosure - I totally got off the SP bus the first time i heard "Bullet With Butterfly Wings". And they were pretty much my favorite band up to that point.
Consequently my poll entry only included songs that came out before then (looks like I was the sole #1 vote for Crush).
So this is the first time I'm hearing about 2/3 of the song on this spotify list. And I'm realizing that there's definitely a parallel universe where they decided to release "Thru the Eyes of Ruby" as the first single off MCIS, and I stayed a fan for another 5 years (though I think Machina still would've been a deal-breaker)

can't compute HINW as a "non-rocker"!

For my experience, save "Set The Ray to Jerry" and a few other MCIS b-sides, you saved yourself a long slow admission of defeat. Kinda envy your clean break--guessing you might've been just enough older than I was to not have an unhealthy degree of entanglement/investment in the band.
― Soundslike, Tuesday, 10 April 2018 15:00 (six years ago) link
enochroot you should just finish the other 2/3 of the songs first and then see what you think!
― Karl Malone, Tuesday, 10 April 2018 15:01 (six years ago) link
i appreciate soundslike's perspective (and many excellent mixes) and have that same kind of relationship with other bands, but (with all due respect) the post SD hate is very overblown - there are tons of gems in there. it doesn't mean that MCIS suddenly destroys gish or whatever (although it does imo) but there are so many excellent songs that you are likely to enjoy, particularly if you liked "Thru the Eyes of Ruby"
― Karl Malone, Tuesday, 10 April 2018 15:03 (six years ago) link
I guess I mean in comparison to something like "BWBW" or "Zero".

this poll was wonderful because Adore is now my second favorite SP album. machina still bothers me, but the enthusiasm of others itt is contagious.

adore is the SP album i listen to the most, even though i might put MCIS or SD above it in the desert island scenario.
― Karl Malone, Tuesday, 10 April 2018 17:10 (six years ago) link
My view of Smashing Pumpkins is a little different in that I think that pretty much everything Corgan did up until (and including) the Zwan album is very good to excellent, and afterwards he never reached the same heights but still came up with some decent and highly listenable material.
― Le Baton Rose (Turrican), Tuesday, 10 April 2018 17:12 (six years ago) link
i think adore ends up matching better with my mood and typical listening situation these days, or at least more often than SD does.
