Article description: (description)
This attribute controls the content of the description and og:description elements. | Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness is the third album by the Chicago band The Smashing Pumpkins. Coming off the sucess of Siamese Dream, the death of Kurt Cobain, the decline of Grunge, and the band's experience headlining Lollapalooza '94, Face of the Band Billy Corgan decided to write the album as if it was their last. The result was a double album produced by Corgan (who described it at one point as "The Wall for Generation X") and famous Alternative Rock producers Mark "Flood" Ellis and Alan Moulder, ranging in material from gentle piano ballads ("Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness"), aggressive Alternative Metal ("Jellybelly", "Tales of a Scorched Earth", "Fuck You (An Ode to No One)", "X.Y.U."), loud-quiet-loud Grunge-ish tracks ("Bullet With Butterfly Wings", "Here Is No Why"), the band's trademark psychedelic, Shoegazing-influenced material ("Porcelina of the Vast Oceans"), quiet acoustic tracks ("Thirty-Three", "In the Arms of Sleep", "Lily", "Stumbleine") and more electronic-influenced material ("1979", "Beautiful") that foretold their style change on Adore. |
