I seem to recall Mellon Collie being very much "Rocks and Diamonds" - but I reckon giving it another go nowadays, I'd probably appreciate the whole lot. Nostalgia and maturity. Not every song needs to be a Bullet with Butterfly Wings.
i think my original point was, if you made it one album, it would be one of the best you have ever heard, there are probably a dozen absolute banging tracks.
I think I appreciate it more now as the album that Corgan wanted to make as opposed to one to sell. Alot of the slow, mellow tracks sound pretty cool interweaved between the heavier stuff.
Some are of course just shit like any progressive record.
I remember my first listen to this way back yonder. You start off with some mellow stuff, some random stuff then straight into the holy trinity of Zero, Here & Bullet and it's off to the races.
One day when I have a lazy day at work (FH) I'll put it on in it's entirety and make some notes and post here.

I remember my brother telling me about this album and me playing it endlessly during my last (?) year at uni. There's so many cracking tracks that it carries exceptionally well as a double album. Diamonds it has plenty, but even now I struggle to name a track that qualifies as rocks.

Just listened to this album in the garage while brewing beer and playing darts.
Four way tie between Chris Cornell, Jeff Buckley, Scott Weiland and Layne Staley for awesome 90s rock singers who aren’t with us anymore. By crikey it was a superb era.
True. I think Staley had the darkest sound represented in lyrics as well of that bunch.

Yeah possibly, not the most joyous bunch but they had talent and then some.

Lol. Interesting how the tone of their music reflected Staley and his life and eventual death yet Cantrell was able to play without feeling he had to jump off a cliff.
