I remember walking to the mall with my birthday money just to buy mellon collie on double cassette. I popped into my walkman and was taken on a musical journey, through emotions and thoughts I was begging to feel in my young teen mind. Billy Corgan said things I wanted to scream. The lyrics and music were so epic and intense .The artwork was so amazing and beautiful even though it was tiny. Through the years I would get to see the details better by first rebuying the album on CD and then on vinyl.
