{"product_id":"smashing-pumpkins-mellon-collie-and-the-infinite-sadness-oversize-remastered-reissue","title":"Smashing Pumpkins Mellon Collie and The Infinite Sadness (Oversize, Remastered, Reissue)","description":"\u003cp\u003eSmashing Pumpkins: Billy Corgan, James Iha, D'Arcy, Jimmy Chamberlin. Additional personnel: Greg Leisz (pedal \u0026amp; lap steel guitars). Producers: Flood, Alan Moulder, Billy Corgan. Engineers include: Alan Moulder, Flood, Chris Shepard. \"Bullet With Butterfly Wings\" won a 1997 Grammy Award for Best Hard Rock Performance. Smashing Pumpkins were nominated for five additional 1997 Grammys for MELLON COLLIE AND THE INFINITE SADNESS. The album was nominated for Album Of The Year and Best Alternative Music Performance; \"1979\" was nominated for Record Of The Year and Best Rock Performance By A Duo Or Group With Vocal; and the title track was nominated for Best Pop Instrumental Performance. For all the criticisms levied on head Pumpkin Billy Corgan, one thing he can't be accused of is being narrow in his artistic vision. On the breakthrough SIAMESE DREAM, he and co-producer Butch Vig built a landscape of layered, corrosive guitars that shimmered brighter with each additional glance. On MELLON COLLIE AND THE INFINITE SADNESS, Corgan turns his eye to the dreariness of modern existence and comes up with a broad alterna-rock opus that plays out like an offspring of Roger Waters and Kurt Cobain--verbose and angst-ridden, bleak in its view, cathartic in nature. With its two distinctly titled song-cycles and overture-like title track, there is no doubt that MELLON COLLIE is meant to be approached as a concept album, and Corgan's lyrical musings only reiterate the point. The songs explore alienation in the physical and spiritual worlds, generally concluding that it can seldom be overcome. Only the early \"Tonight, Tonight\" offers a glimmer of hope (\"believe that life can change, that you're not stuck in vain\"), on the wings of a soaring, string-laden production. Far more constant are spiritually depleting images of \"the world [as a] vampire, sent to drain\" (\"Bullet With Butterfly Wings\"), of love as \"suicide\" (\"Bodies'\") and of heaven's unresponsiveness (\"Zero\"). The constant din of guitars that illuminated GISH and SIAMESE DREAM has been replaced with a varied sonic palette that reflects MELLON COLLIE's operatic nature. Piano interludes connect the opening title track and the closing \"Farewell And Goodnight\"; harps, harpsichords and other heavenly sounds trim \"Cupid De Locke\"; synthetic, Cars-like drums and a general faux-New Wave feel spur on \"1979\"; and \"X.Y.U.\" explodes with distorted guitar wallops and yelped vocals that scream post-modern confusion. The 28 tracks are as motley and disconcerting as the world they describe, and MELLON COLLIE is a dispiriting glimpse from the eyes of a man whose last vestiges of hope seem lost.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cul\u003e\r\n\u003cli class=\"discnum\"\u003e- Disc 1 -\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"aec-tracknum\"\u003e1\u003c\/span\u003e Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"aec-tracknum\"\u003e2\u003c\/span\u003e Tonight, Tonight\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"aec-tracknum\"\u003e3\u003c\/span\u003e Jellybelly\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"aec-tracknum\"\u003e4\u003c\/span\u003e Zero\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"aec-tracknum\"\u003e5\u003c\/span\u003e Here Is No Why\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"aec-tracknum\"\u003e6\u003c\/span\u003e Bullet with Butterfly Wings\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"aec-tracknum\"\u003e7\u003c\/span\u003e To Forgive\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003cli class=\"discnum\"\u003e- Disc 2 -\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"aec-tracknum\"\u003e1\u003c\/span\u003e An Ode to No One\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"aec-tracknum\"\u003e2\u003c\/span\u003e Love\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"aec-tracknum\"\u003e3\u003c\/span\u003e Cupid de Locke\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"aec-tracknum\"\u003e4\u003c\/span\u003e Galapogos\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"aec-tracknum\"\u003e5\u003c\/span\u003e Muzzle\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"aec-tracknum\"\u003e6\u003c\/span\u003e Porcelina of the Vast Oceans\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"aec-tracknum\"\u003e7\u003c\/span\u003e Take Me Down\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003cli class=\"discnum\"\u003e- Disc 3 -\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"aec-tracknum\"\u003e1\u003c\/span\u003e Where Boys Fear to Tread\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"aec-tracknum\"\u003e2\u003c\/span\u003e Bodies\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"aec-tracknum\"\u003e3\u003c\/span\u003e Thirty-Three\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"aec-tracknum\"\u003e4\u003c\/span\u003e In the Arms of Sleep\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"aec-tracknum\"\u003e5\u003c\/span\u003e 1979\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"aec-tracknum\"\u003e6\u003c\/span\u003e Tales of a Scorched Earth\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"aec-tracknum\"\u003e7\u003c\/span\u003e Thru the Eyes of Ruby\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003cli class=\"discnum\"\u003e- Disc 4 -\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"aec-tracknum\"\u003e1\u003c\/span\u003e Stumbleine\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"aec-tracknum\"\u003e2\u003c\/span\u003e X.Y.U\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"aec-tracknum\"\u003e3\u003c\/span\u003e We Only Come Out at Night\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"aec-tracknum\"\u003e4\u003c\/span\u003e Beautiful\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"aec-tracknum\"\u003e5\u003c\/span\u003e Lily (My One and Only)\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"aec-tracknum\"\u003e6\u003c\/span\u003e By Starlight\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"aec-tracknum\"\u003e7\u003c\/span\u003e Farewell and Goodnight\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGenre: Pop\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRSD Date: DDD\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGenre: Pop\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFormat: Vinyl\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFormat: Vinyl\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReleased: 12\/04\/2012\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReleased: 12\/04\/2012\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Smashing Pumpkins","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50328772018469,"sku":"JGN3R4-DEX8-7Y","price":172.31,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0821\/8142\/3397\/files\/smashing-pumpkins-mellon-collie-and-the-infinite-sadness-oversize-remastered-reissue_n6xyV.jpg?v=1743011260","url":"https:\/\/mediamall.com\/products\/smashing-pumpkins-mellon-collie-and-the-infinite-sadness-oversize-remastered-reissue","provider":"mediamall","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
