Nice to see a new generation getting to know great music. I had Zero stuck in my head for like an entire year as a teenager, but in a good way. It was really great skateboard music.
The opening track, Mellon Collie... is simply amazing for me. It's one of the most beautiful instrumental pieces that I've ever heard. At least a 9.5 for me. I think the beauty of MCIS lies in its consistency. There's really no weak tracks here. Depending on my mood, at times, I feel some of the album tracks shine more brightly than the hit singles. Galapogos has always been the best track for me here. Glad that u guys give it a 10 too😊
Can’t deny Tonight, Tonight. Esp when you let Mellon Collie play right into it. You’re on something … the disc sounds even better and its entirety. And make sure you catch the videos off this LP. All 🔥🔥🔥 +1 for You’d Prefer an Astronaut, Hum
To me tonight tonight gives off a happy and relfective look into growing up and all the different memories and experiences you will or have had in life, I could definitely see it being much more impactful the older people get. Nice reactions.
Yes, "The world is a vampire" is one of the top ten rock song intros of all time. Great video guys! I know you're getting lots of suggestions, but may I add: - "Welcome to the Black Parade" by My Chemical Romance - Collective Souls' self-titled album - "Funeral" by Arcade Fire - "16 Stone" by Bush-X - "Tiny Music... Songs from the Vatican Gift Shop" Stone Temple Pilots - "Hot Fuss" by The Killers - "Spiritual Machines" by Our Lady Peace (Rocking Canadian album about A.I. and at what point it's considered living). -"Zeitgeist" by Smashing Pumpkins (although really just done by Billy Corgan and Jimmy Chamberlin).
I remember listening to this album in 7th grade in 1997 with my girlfriend at the time and her friend since I only had singles and eps from the album since it was like a double album and was expensive so I hadn’t heard the whole album until then and it led into a makeout session
🥁⚡️Yeah, Jimmy is the best- I’ve been lucky enough to have been buddies with him for the last 20 years. And he’s so encouraging-he was a supporter of my “Resonance” record. Keep on listening 🙌✨
I suggest checking out the awesome band NIL8 from my hometown of Springfield Illinois that has been around since the 1980’s when they were teenagers and then in the 90’s toured with a lot of the big punk and alternative bands, I suggest checking out the songs, Basement Show,Northwest Incinerator,Green Eggs and Ham,Shallow Holes,Medicine Man,Land of the Lost,Zombie Slut,Dominatrix and the awesome cover of Tainted Love
When you get to DISK 2 (Twilight to Starlight) and review 'Stumbleine' I would suggest you watch the live performance at the Guggenheim museum from 1998 (it's on youtube). It's better than the album version. I would also suggest getting a hold of 'Vieuphoria' some day and watching that (from 1994).
Taylor Swift has some good songs and reminds of Cyndi Lauper from the 80’s, I grew up listening to country because of my mom so I liked her early country stuff and when she started to incorporate pop with the country like Love Story because I grew up reading Shakespeare too, You Belong With Me, Trouble,Bad Blood are good songs , this is coming from a goth skater punk metalhead outcast from the 90’s who also loved pop,country,RnB and rap and think that they are good songs, it’s all about opening your mind and not being afraid of what people might say and being a true original and not a conformist, like I will admit that I don’t like Beyoncé except for a few early songs with Destiny Child but her solo work has been trash with weak lyrics that took a songwriting team of 8 to write but the lyrics were still so simplistic and repetitive, Beyoncé should have studied Freddy Mercury
Bullet with Butterfly Wings is my least favorite SP tune, never did understand why it had the huge commercial success other than it was the first one released and played on radio stations back in 1995 off this album!?!
I'm with you on this. Bullet is the cookie cutter song. This I understand why people like it. Because they don't know any better. Corgan himself talks about how this song was basically made to please the label that wanted a formulaic rock song. Here's your cute riff and from best now leave me alone so I can write what I want. He literally tells you how he feels like a rat in a cage being asked to do crowd pleasing songs and not what he wants to do.
Gentlemen, you can't rely on youtube or any other word generator to transcribe lyrics 100% accurately so I suggest you purchase the albums you enjoy and read the lyrics that came packaged with these albums. The word in the lyrics of 'Porcelina of the Vast Oceans' is not "fridges" it's "...to the FRINGES gladly, I walk unadorned..."
@bebrageren2587 the term 'album' is used loosely in this context, if people have enough money for a computer or mobile phone then they have enough money for a $24.99 CD. However, If buying new is still cost prohibitive there are always music thrift-stores where you can find items with original materials.

Tom Kenny, the guy who does the voice of SpongeBob (and his wife) star in the video for Tonight, Tonight.
The music video for Tonight Tonight is based on the early silent film A Trip to the Moon
Zero and Bullet with Butterfly Wings are my favorites but I love 1979 and Tonight Tonight too, wish more young people would do this

That’s insane, tell him he’s still got listeners loving and rocking out to his music 🤘
Begging yall listen to pink floyd or dave matthews band 🙏🙏😭
I love this album! You guys should react to nine inch nails The Downward Spiral.
Watch the music videos from the album and the music videos from movie soundtracks at the time around 1995-1998
Smashing Pumpkins came out of Chicago around the same time as Nirvana did from Seattle

downward is heavenward has better production than you'd prefer an astronaut so it might be easier to get into
Love it 🤟 try also the new album. 🤟
Check out the Zero EP that has some extra tracks that didn’t make it onto the album
Nice video

Melancholy does mean 'sadness', "Mellon Collie" is a pun (play on words)
Guys pls listen amnesiac 🙏🏻🙏🏻(i know y'all have reacted to 3 radiohead albums but i think it would be a good choice)
Seriously need to check out Hum...You'd prefer an Astronaut
Zwan ....Zwan

Silversun Pickups...Carnavas

Any true SP fan will generally dislike the so called hits.
Happy new year
jellybelly is great when you want energie

Not everyone has the money to buy a physical album of every album they want to listen to
