The third studio album by the Smashing Pumpkins was released on October of 1995 as a double-disc. Despite the high price tag in the pre-digital era, the album was soon certified as diamond, an accomplishment made by very few rock bands in the 1990’s. Nobody in the music industry saw it coming; except for Billy Corgan that is, who called this success as being vindicated. For some time, the album held the record for being the best-selling double CD of all time.

Although the artistic scope of the album is immense, the Smashing Pumpkins flourish in such an overblown setting. Corgan's songwriting has never been limited by conventional notions of what a rock band can do, even if it is clear that he draws inspiration from scores of '70s heavy metal and art rock bands

So Mellon Collie is a Smashing Pumpkins record that just so happens to be 28 songs in length, stunning in both its stylistic range and overall excellence. This is perhaps the only Smashing Pumpkins record where they acted like an actual band rather than Corgan and his resentful charges. Mellon Collie's remarkable breadth is the best indication of Corgan's ability to let loose.
