"Prior to this I'd decided I wasn't a Smashing Pumpkins fan. I'd bought Siamese Dream & found it worked wonderfully as a sleep aid at the time, and subsequently wrote them off. Then MTV aired a behind-the-scenes look at this album before its release which sparked my interest. Shortly after that a local radio station previewed several tracks from it & I decided I absolutely had to have it. And once I did have it I loved almost every moment (the sole exception being the song "Take Me Down" which is"

"Smashing Pumpkins - Bullet With Butterfly Wings
The world is a vampire
sent to drain
Secret destroyers
hold you up to the flames
And what do I get
for my pain?
Betrayed desires
and a piece of the game
Even though I know, I suppose I'll show
All my cool and cold like old Job
Despite all my rage I am still just a rat in a cage
Despite all my rage I am still just a rat in a cage
Someone will say what is lost can never be saved
Despite all my rage I am still just a rat in a cage
Now I'm naked

"Billy Corgan really makes himslef look like a fucking idiot. Overly indulgent rubbish. There's some great tracks here and there, but the big picture is a pretentious, overblown album that's trying way too hard to speak to "Generation X". I'm an angry teenager, this is not relateable, if you want proper alt rock that would speak to your teenage soul, pick up Let it Be (no, not the fucking Beatles, the Replacements), Violent Femmes, Pinkerton, or Spiderland instead"
