Like everyone else have already said, underrated!
Love all the songs, but here are my special favourits:
* The Everlasting Gaze: So different from the others, and with pretty rough lyrics. Billy just makes it all golden, he is such a genious, and I think I'm not alone to say that.
* Raindrops + Sunflowers: "And I'm just trying to walk with you, between the raindrops". What can I say? I love the lyric and the melody.
* Stand Inside Your Love: "Your home is here, within my heart". Lovely.
* I of the Mourning: "Pick up where my thoughts left off". I can relate to a lot in here.
* Try, Try, Try: One of my fav songs. I especially like the piece "Try to hold on, for this heart's a little bit older". I can relate to that in many parts of my own life.
* Heavy Metal Machine: Oh isn't it a classic? I just love it so much.
* The Crying Tree Of Mercury: "These are the tears I've been crying my whole life, like an ocean of desire, I'm reaching thru the noise, across the dusk of time, within the lilting lies, I am singing out to you." This song makes me feel like everything goes in slow motion, which can be very nice of you're all stressed up. I love how Billys voice AND the guitar both have got like this whining sound to them.
* Blue Skies Bring Tears: "I am a stranger to you as you are to yourself". No need to say anything more, it's just another masterpiece.
* Age of Innocence: It's so soft to listen to. A special piece I like is "And in my prayers I dream alone. A silent speech to deaf ear. If you want love you must be love, but if you bleed love you will die loved."
The Pumpkins rocks, and this album is a big flip!
