Advantages: Just brilliant in every way

Disadvantages: It's less than 4 hours long?

Do you remember when the likes of Pearl Jam, Nirvana and Alice in Chains were the staple of MTV? Then you may remember Today by the Smashing Pumpkins but probably unless you were a fan, nothing else by them.

Yet at it's time this was (and still is in my opinion) one of the best albums made. It really is timeless, even now you listen to it and realise this is what music is about.

As time went on, for me, the pumpkins lost their way and went a little to experimental for me, but this album was their pinnacle. There really is so much going on here, and it's hard to put it into words.

The songs seems to have so much texture to them, and the guitar work while not being traditional is simply mind blowing (a style later adopted by the white stripes)

Luna, Mayonaise and space boy are lush, multi layered songs that simply can't be ignored. You have balls to the wall Cherub Rock, and the MTV anthems of Today and Disarm.

If you don't own this album you really do need to, buy it now, well go on then........go

Summary: Just perfect punk/alt/pop
