It's an essential piece for what I consider the absolute masterpiece of the SP... anyway, one could write kilometers of lines about each song given the overall quality of the album... tracks like Cherub Rock, Quiet, Hummer, Soma, Geek u.s.a., Mayonaise, and Silverfuck will never leave my mind... perhaps the most significant and enjoyable CD I have ever bought...

lol Layne, have you listened to the CD? Because it really doesn't have anything to do with machina...actually.

sad, skifoso...it doesn't even make me laugh anymore...reviews like this one you could just delete...

Great review, very "passionate" but intriguing... personally, I didn't despise the first Machina at all; on the contrary, I preferred it to Adore. It was far from the aggressiveness of Siamese Dream (everyone idolizes Mellon Collie when SD was two steps above... well... not that MC is bad, of course), but it had a unique poetry and sound... this second Machina (as far as I know, only available on the internet) is not on the same level as the first for me; it engaged me much less than I would have expected... a bit like Judas O (the CD paired with the greatest hits), it needs to be pondered calmly before being intelligible to everyone :D for me, it's an album for true aficionados, who will certainly find beauty and emotional peaks within it...

I liked it quite a bit, maybe not as much as the previous one, but I don’t regret spending the 20 euros and more (I got the special edition) on the purchase at all.

great review, quite objective (though maybe you didn't dare much towards the end)... I don't know, I've listened to it and re-listened, I've gone through the lyrics looking for that "something," I promised myself not to make comparisons with the past... yet the more I listen, the more I get the impression that I'm facing a less profound, less melodic, less polished version of Adore... there is something good, but it fades after the first tracks and overall it's not much... but there's something... the thing is, thinking about it, I hate this cheerful, peaceful, and calm atmosphere that pops up here and there when you least expect it, and above all, I hate the presence of God (but wasn't it "and I still believe that I cannot be saved"? or rather "God is empty just like me" ten years ago?)... I know a lot of people who over the years have "seen" the light and have fried their brains, even though we live in times perhaps darker than the 90s, I didn't expect stuff like "let's comfort ourselves in faith" or "let's believe in a better life after death" from Corgan... I don't know, I'm still confused, but the more I listen to it the more I want to put it away, and that's not a good sign.

Aside from the fact that anyone who viscerally hates rap shouldn't even post on this review... anyway, this is undoubtedly a great album. Personally, I prefer The Marshall Mathers LP, but that's a matter of taste... I wouldn't speak so poorly of The Eminem Show; tracks like "White America," "Square Dance," or "Say What You" are certainly valuable and worth noting...

I liked surrender much more, but this isn't all to throw away anyway.

oh no, fatal error XD

definitely too much for me, but tastes are tastes...
