Smashing Pumpkins Mellon Collie & The Infinite Sadness

Mastodontic and colorful. All of Corgan's creativity in 2 albums that ooze pain and unease, but also visionary power. The year of release is also significant (1995, right after the Cobain era). For the reviewer: From your review, it seems you prefer the singles since you only mentioned those; listen carefully to the rest of the album as well; the CD "Twilight To Starlight" is clearly superior to the first, and just as you discovered the beauty of the album after some time, you will similarly understand that I am right about this second one. For those who believe that rock can still inspire dreams... or rather, it could, perhaps.

This album kept me company during my first year of high school. Beautiful. Beautiful. Strange that you didn't mention "Venere."?.?

It has never claimed to be an album by Skunk (if that was its intention, it would have stayed with the band, right?) and for this reason, it changed direction, leaning more towards ballads. The interpretation here takes center stage, and she fully passes the tests, even though this rule isn't sufficient for other artists.

Tricky Pre-Millenium Tension

What can I say, a perfect review for an album that must be listened to in order to understand it. The reference to Blue Lines is beautiful (as if by coincidence), and kudos for including the criticisms from some music magazines that the record label had printed on the sticker attached to the cover. It's not at the level of Maxinquaye, which NME reviewed with phrases like "You won't believe your ears!", but it's close. My score for your review is actually 6.

But why did it authenticate my comment? What a drag. Did I even set the password?!

But are we commenting on "Confession On A Dancefloor" or "Erotica"? It's all about Hung Up! What a drag. Oh, an important note: the photos in the booklet, like those in the book "SEX," are by Steven Meisel.

Nearly God falls within Tricky's darkest period, the post-Maxinquaye era. Naturally brilliant, well, I’m biased too. Plus, he collaborates with Bjork, so I couldn't ask for anything more!!!

It was not my intention to put Tricky in competition with the Massive, I simply expressed a personal preference, and besides, I couldn't disparage albums like "Protection" or "Blue Lines" since many of the insights from these two records come directly from Tricky. The opening of my review is based on a real event (a bit romanticized, of course), without any intention of discriminating against those who are unfamiliar with Tricky, but rather to highlight the importance of the album, as if my listener had missed an event or was lacking something they absolutely needed to have, even to better understand other artists. Without any presumption, of course.

But are all the comments on this page aimed at the Strokes or at the YYY? The album is amazing for being a three-piece band. The tracks are incredibly original in terms of melodies, albeit essential, and then the guitar sounds like the roar of an engine (check out "NoNoNo," "Y Control"). And among the admirers, there are indeed the Strokes (Moretti wore one of their pins during an American television show) and the White Stripes (during some concerts, Jack & Meg performed "Maps").

I bought this album before "Turn On The Bright Lights." A more conceptual record compared to the debut and much less inspired, where melody takes center stage, making it more accessible. The mood of the tracks is very intense, nostalgia reaching the unbelievable, and especially kudos to the sound engineers. The best track? "A Time To be So Small."
