Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness is a double album by The Smashing Pumpkins, released on October 24, 1995, through Virgin Records. Widely regarded as the band’s magnum opus, it’s an ambitious, sprawling project that captures the emotional highs and lows of youth — love, despair, rage, and hope — across 28 tracks and roughly two hours of music.

Produced by Billy Corgan, Flood, and Alan Moulder, the album blends genres ranging from heavy rock and grunge to orchestral ballads and dream pop. It’s divided into two conceptual halves: “Dawn to Dusk” and “Twilight to Starlight,” representing the cycle of day and night as metaphors for life and death.

Standout songs include “1979,” “Tonight, Tonight,” “Bullet with Butterfly Wings,” “Zero,” and “Thirty-Three.” Each showcases the band’s range — from distorted guitar fury to lush, cinematic arrangements. The album received widespread critical acclaim, debuted at #1 on the Billboard 200, and earned seven Grammy nominations, with “Bullet with Butterfly Wings” winning for Best Hard Rock Performance.

Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness remains a defining work of 1990s alternative rock — a grand, emotional statement that cemented The Smashing Pumpkins’ place as one of the decade’s most creative and ambitious bands.

Always handle your vinyl by its edges and label, avoiding fingerprints on the grooves. Before and after each play, gently clean the surface with a carbon-fiber anti-static brush or a dedicated record-cleaning solution to remove dust and debris. Store records upright in their sleeves, away from heat, humidity, and direct sunlight to preserve sound quality and prevent warping..
