MCIS was the defining music of my teenage years and still to this day I feel there is no other record that can touch all the different emotions and feelings that MCIS can. It is a true masterpiece and it changed my life. Its such a profound experience to listen to this entire piece of art, even all these years later.  I have the double cassette, 4 vinyl records and double CD  version of this truly inspired music. 1995 was a great year, I was 15, in high school and just starting my own band. Every time I hear any of the songs from MCIS I am instantly transported back to that time in my life. I will cherish this music and those memories as long as I live. Thank you Smashing Pumkins.
