I dunno about the Smashing Pumpkins but most musicians I run into usually
get pissed off if one man band leaders insist of playing every instrument
on you new album, it's got to create some kind of tension.
Over.

This may appear to be off the subject at first, but bear with me please.
<P>I don't remember when Smashing Pumpkins came out with YM_M4I5S3S_27,
but I'd
YM_M4I5S3S_28 agree that it was and still is a fantastic
album.&YM_M4I5S3S_29; I do

band.&YM_M4I5S3S_30;
Like Billy YM_M4I5S3S_31 said, they took it as far as they

I don't understand why many people didn't like it, maybe they didn't know
that it was THE BEST SELLING DOUBLE ALBUM OF ALL TIME.&YM_M4I5S3S_35;
Regardless,
it was yet another huge step for the band.&YM_M4I5S3S_36; They released a
few b-sides
and things, and then they released Adore.&YM_M4I5S3S_37; Many people
didn't understand
Adore, sadly.&YM_M4I5S3S_38; But again, it was another step forward for
Smashing
Pumpkins.&YM_M4I5S3S_39; I didn't understand Adore at first, but after a

it hit me like a ton of bricks.&YM_M4I5S3S_40; I love that
album.&YM_M4I5S3S_41; No two Smashing

Nobody knows.
<P>Regardless, this kind of musical journey is what I want for Sunny Day
Real Estate.&YM_M4I5S3S_48; Sure, they are an amazing band right now, but
I'm looking
