The Smashing Pumpkins - Mellon Collie And The Infinite Sadness download mp3 album
Although the artistic scope of the album is immense, the Smashing Pumpkins flourish in such an overblown setting. Corgan's songwriting has never been limited by conventional notions of what a rock band can do, even if it is clear that he draws inspiration from scores of '70s heavy metal and art rock bands
Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness. Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness is the third studio album by American alternative rock band The Smashing Pumpkins, released on October 23, 1995 in the United Kingdom and a day later in the United States on Virgin Records.
Mellon Collie And The Infinite Sadness (Remastered). Take the first song "Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness. A gorgeous piano song that perfectly opens the album. I find this song to be complimentary to the next song "Tonight, Tonight.
Billy responded that the song was called ‘Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness’. This version is in a different key and has a wildly different, full-band arrangement. Some time after moving into his Victorian house in Chicago, Billy re-arranged the song for piano
The Smashing Pumpkins’ sophomore release, Siamese Dream, brokered the Chicago rockers’ commercial breakthrough, but also showed they’d moved well beyond the limitations imposed by grunge. However, while Siamese Dream was undeniably a pivotal record, it merely hinted at what the band would go on to achieve with their epic third album, Mellon Collie And The Infinite Sadness. Simply put, Mellon Collie And The Infinite Sadness was Billy Corgan and company’s magnum opus. Even with al. ock at its mid-90s height, Corgan understood that Mellon Collie And The Infinite Sadness needed widespread airplay to impact globally, so he ensured the album also included some of his band’s tastiest singles.
