      @@MotoGreciaMarios, I have the biggest clue, the best clue, bigly. I would suggest that firstly Corgan was happy with it and secondly that the pumpkins at that time were primarily a psychedelic rock band, with a gothic visual element. it takes a slightly different mix to open up the inner world of psychoactive drugs rather than just a 2D mix as i would call it. I dont think it is a fruitful comparison either, nirvana were an outright rock grunge act Cobain was revolutionary and iconic, paved the way; but in terms of texture, detail, range of emotion I think billy was way ahead with the pumpkins as a grandiose, epic rock band at the time.

    • @MotoGreciaMarios
      @MotoGreciaMarios 3 года назад

      @@jwebb6352 I welcome the civilised discussion. Now on the details:
      I didn't compare Nirvana to Pumpkins. I only wanted to show you that the composition and musicians' performances is the root of the music and the recording, mixing & mastering are its interpretation onto the reproductive medium. And this means that a mixer can do a disservice to the quality of the compositions and the performances by not recording it in a good way onto the medium. I used Nirvana to show you this only because it's the only example I know of of an album that has been mixed by two different people and I have heard both mixes.
      Now regarding all you said about the musical and visual character of the Sm. P. I agree but dude all other records produced by them did not have that problem, no matter who produced them. I'm sure Flood has produced wonderful records in his career- it's just "Mellon Collie" that he botched. The fact that Billy liked it means nothing to me - maybe he got carried away, maybe he thought it's cool this way or maybe he was just too depressed to bother with steering Flood away from his own vision.
      Thankfully the problem is not that evident with the calmer songs, but the hard and aggressive ones like Zero, Bullet W. B. W., X.Y.U. and the rest, are to my ears a medley of various shades of mud. It's not by luck that the 2012 remasters tried to ameliorate this problem.

    • @Dyrwlf
      @Dyrwlf 2 года назад +1

      ​@@MotoGreciaMarios As great an album Mellon Collie is, I have to agree about the original mix. I always felt the harder songs on the album were indeed muddy. "Jellybelly" is a good example of this. Although it's been slightly improved on the 2012 Remaster, the original mix of Jellybelly sounds like one big noise. It sounds compressed; the instruments blend together too much, like listening to the radio.
      Billy has stated that they switched producers to get a fresh start, but I feel they should have stuck with Butch Vig. Butch Vig's method of recording/engineering/mixing is a significant reason why Siamese Dream was so successful; he also produced Gish and Nirvana's Nevermind.
