[@Agostoic]

For Martha is an "eulogy" for his mother. Lovely yet sad song, the solo gets me everytime. Sorry about your loss Dean.

[@deanwolfechannel]

Thankyou

[@markrodeo420]

Glad the clouds of sorrow parted for you man.

[@deanwolfechannel]

thanks Mark, I'm glad too. I heard someone say this weekend- it doesn't get better, but it gets easier.

[@auzzieamerican]

The last 4 or 5 songs feel like an album within an album. Huge SP fan over here & I hope you'll react to more of the their albums. And I'm so sorry to hear about your daughter.

[@deanwolfechannel]

Thanks man

[@andaroos]

Long horses we are born Creatures more than torn Mourning our way home Are probably the best lyrics Corgan ever wrote. I'm a huge Pumpkin fan - far back as 1992. I still think "Crestfallen", "Annie-Dog" and "Blank Page" should have been removed from the record and released on an EP (I think "Blank Page" is one of their best) just to shorten the album a tad and give it a huge impact. Also as much as I like "Blank Page" I think "For Martha" was the real end of the album.

It's so funny sharing music that you've loved for years with a virtual stranger who's never heard it before. You want them to love it on the first listen as much as you love it on the 100th! But you did a great job, thank you so much.

[@whatdothlife4660]

Thanks for sharing with us. I'm sorry about your daughter. Man, were we spoiled for good albums in the late 90's. This came out one year after OK Computer. IT took a decade or more for people to finally come around and start giving it praise. At the time it came out, people were predictably negative about it because it was different.

[@deanwolfechannel]

Thanks. late 60s to 90s was a good 40 year run. Too bad it seemed to come to an end.

[@JordanPeacock]

​@@deanwolfechannel we've been absolutely spoiled the last couple decades, it's just that there's a lot more noise:signal (and there's been less time for the former to dissipate)

[@MasterChiefFLY]

i’m so sorry about your daughter, losing a child is a pain i couldn’t even imagine.

[@deanwolfechannel]

thanks. It's enough pain for one lifetime.

[@ZosoLU]

Songs like For Martha and Tool's Wings for Marie/10,000 Days can really bring out strong emotions. I lost my dad in 1998 when I was 18 and I heard this album pretty soon after. While that fog you mentioned may lift some, a person you really love always sticks with you. I don't know if you're meant to fully "finish" with grief for those people. Dean, I'm happy to hear you're doing OK and that your channel brings you some comfort.

[@jons.105]

Absolutely. Loss is a universal feeling, but God gave us tears to be cried. Dean, I think we all cried a little with you here.

[@deanwolfechannel]

thanks Jon

[@deanwolfechannel]

it doesn't get better, but it gets easier.

[@chicagojon1972]

Very sorry for your loss...can't even imagine. I forgot how much I enjoyed this album, but so much more to check out with the Pumpkins!

[@deanwolfechannel]

thank-you.

[@davidtollefson8411]

For Martha sounds sort of like Steven Wilson/Porcupine tree to me, with a Brian May ending. So beautiful. I remember you having an emotional reaction to “the One” by BABYMETAL, mentioning your daughters passing and how she loved Japanese things. One of the many great things about music is its capacity to help heal. Sorry again for your loss. Have you seen BABYMETAL’s piano version of Monochrome on the First Take? Another song about loss and healing that gets me every time. They are on the First Take again tomorrow with new girl Momoko. Thanks, Dean.

[@deanwolfechannel]

Thanks David 🙏

[@mariusjohansen8243]

I was thinking about this record very recently, and it was great listening through it with you. It can be a hard listen; both hauntingly beautiful and at times very bleak and depressive. Absolutely wonderful overall, and it has some of Corgan’s best singing. Incredibly under-appreciated when it released because it was so different from what they had released before, and a huge amount of their fans never came back. It’s very easy to appreciate now in their vast catalog of music, and it feels almost timeless.

[@kb_78]

Excellent reaction. And I’m sorry for your loss but I admire your determination.

[@deanwolfechannel]

Thanks mate

[@johnw6137]

Thanks so much for doing this. To me the 1st 4 pumpkins albums are all classics..and billy is one of the greatest song writers. This album evokes alot of emotions. Really enjoyed your reaction..thank u.

[@MasterChiefFLY]

i think Machina should be up there

[@neilanadams5173]

Machina as well

[@RichBurrell]

You’re one of my favourite content creators, Dean. So sorry to hear about your daughter. Keep doing what you do, you’re brilliant ❤

[@deanwolfechannel]

Thank you so much

[@THEDEEPDIVE]

thanks so much for sharing that about your loss. I've had 4 suicides in my family. This album is very much about loss and it was powerful to see it hit someone else who really knows loss. Pumpkins are my favorite band of all. We are doing a Top 50 SP Songs series on my channel.. going chronologically through the catalog but it's time for us to get to adore which I think is a masterpiece.

[@deanwolfechannel]

You have to experience the feelings when someone you love leaves by suicide to understand. So sorry it happened to your family. We can understand each others pain

[@ilionatroya7129]

I’m loving your reaction to this album! I shared some sad memories in my last comment and now I’m watching you share a profoundly sad personal tragedy. I shed one for you, Dean. Blank page makes me feel like I’m in an old movie driving at night through the dessert. So damn good!

[@deanwolfechannel]

Thanks for your kind thoughts

[@cranboogie]

Blank page live on Adore tour was outstanding. Billy added an awesome guitar solo. 🌀🌀🌀🎸🎸🎸

[@cranboogie]

Here’s the video from Atlanta show of that era. kzbin.info/www/bejne/aZjPnIaLlJ1jrrs Superb 🌀🌀🌀🔥🔥🔥

[@MilesTippett]

The last track, "17" is only 17 seconds long, and is instrumental, so youre not skipping much.

[@adamfstewart81]

I’m so sorry about your daughter. Thank you for sharing this experience meeting Adore - I had fun on the journey with you.

[@deanwolfechannel]

Cool, I appreciate for your thoughts and nice that you stuck it out with me for the album!

[@ankolepisodes9806]

I'm a fan of your video reactions

[@TheSiameseDreamer]

This album doesn't get the love it deserves.

[@JayTheRed602]

For Martha should have been the closer to this album. I've got a theory that some producer accidentally hit the shuffle button on his computer and was too embarrassed to ask what order the tracks were supposed to be in.

[@aefenleoht]

The guest singer you hear in some of the songs is Dennis Flemion from the band The Frogs.

[@TheAlibabatree]

Not a big fan of this album, but these last tracks are great. For Martha makes me cry every time.

[@MilesTippett]

While it was a double album on vinyl, it actually fit on a single CD! (barely)

[@neilanadams5173]

❤

[@justinschworn1444]

This record is Billy's personal implosion. he gets divorced. his mom dies, Jimmy Chamberlain is gone. the band member he's closest to and his sounding board. plus he's producing most of this himself. he follows up a career defining record in 1996. with a low-fi electronic record. in 1998. nobody understands this record . Billy's purging his demons.its a soulful masterpiece. There's a MONO version in the expanded edition which is better in my opinion. 17 is worth a listen. it's the Genesis of blissed & gone. an amazing track that would eventually get a proper release.

[@deanwolfechannel]

Making this record would have had a kind of healing effect on Billy. I know as an artist that making and creating something helps you come to terms with things- helps you process .

[@ankolepisodes9806]

I'm sorry about your daughter : (

[@deanwolfechannel]

Thank you

[@LudvikM]

So sorry, man

[@deanwolfechannel]

Thanks Ludvik
