I was sixteen years old when I first heard Mellon Collie. I was a weird teenager living in a small town in the extreme south of Brazil, and these musics made me feel part of something bigger than me and all that was around me at that time. The record kept me company and made me feel less lonely, like someone finally understood me. It was a huge part of my life. Twenty-eight years later, I still feel this is my favorite album of all time.
