The Smashing Pumpkins - Machina II/The Friends & Enemies of Modern Music (Full Album)

[@robbiepeterh]

It’s like Billy told the story of the death of the music industry in real time with this album

[@neilusher3368]

"Go" is James's best song in the entire sp catalogue, my opinion but its just most interesting and complex composition we ever get out of him. Never see anyone ever mention it much. In some world, I wish I couldve heard a version of SP, where the members were allowed or had contributed and evolved along with the band continued output. This album itself still sounds way more modern than what we get out of Billy these days.

Let Me Give the World and Home are so beautiful. Best songwriter of the 90s bar none.

[@Infinitecero]

The alt version of “speed kills” it literally blows your mind. So much energy on the lyrics, straight to the heart

[@Serious_Ludd]

Dross is probably my favorite. Such a banger

[@yelnickmcwawa5858]

Holy shit the pumpkins are back. This shit is gold

[@werideatdusk]

It was released in 2000

[@jaysharpESQ]

Great sounding quality here Had such rough copies of Glass' theme and cash car star forever. Really getting me excited for the reissue of this, whenever it is we'll see it

[@andresav1073]

MACHINA 2 is amazing

[@Pinoquai7064]

Thanks the title record "Slaw Down" is a masterpiece

[@philm5714]

A Slaw Dawn with burgers n fries is 👍

[@unumjonathan]

Thank you for preserving beautiful art

[@jvkofficial07]

My pleasure! 😊

[@THEDEEPDIVE]

Thanks for uploaded this at such high quality. There is one major mistake though. You used the alt version of Cash Car Star where the M2 LP version should be. Also the name is cash car star not Crash. Hope you make those fixes cause this is a great gift to the fan base! SP Forever.

[@werideatdusk]

LP version: kzbin.info/www/bejne/fZqleZmOo8esjsksi=DTJGXEUqUIJI6EmA

[@terryfckwi]

Is this available anywhere? I thought the Q101 version was still the best around but this sounds far better!

[@atrosion1097]

Glass was the coolest! This album sounds different every time since there is no definitive master and playback systems change. This version sounds clear on my iPad. Arguably SP at their prime…I love it all, but songs like Starla, Silverfuck (live), Astral Planes, Superchrist and United States take it to an undeniable next level. Speed Kills and Let Me Give The World To You are close to Stand Inside Your Love quality… Which I think is the bands finest work. Crestfallen was really overlooked. Just so many great songs with epic production. If anyone sees this comment… What B-Sides do you think ‘should’ have been on the album? Rose March? Marquis? …I’m gonna go with Cash Car Star but Dross is an ear worm… Song For A Son is too good for a limited edition EP… Half Life of an Autodidact? Like Lambs? And what are Billy’s 100 Greatest Songs? Let’s make a list. I love Identify. I want the best 100 from across time not ‘intentionally weighted’ equal like Greatest Hits compilations tend to be. Fav Zwan and Future Embrace tracks? El Sol and Mina Loy for me. What’s everyone’s fav ATUM song? I’m going with Beyond the Vale. As an encore, wasn’t Anti-Hero epic?

[@jvkofficial07]

@atrosion1097 I think that my fav ATUM song has to be Beguiled. The energy that Billy and his bros put on in the song and MV is probably the best one I've seen in a while. Also, glad you enjoyed this version of the album! =)

[@ROKUSHAKUBOJUTSU]

Dross and Speed Kills should have been on Machina 1.

[@PatrickGeneLeBlancHardy]

Thanks For Sharing 🎸 🎶

[@jvkofficial07]

My pleasure!!

[@MrFelo17]

Lots of 💎 here! Love it!

[@thugg4lif]

I was lucky enough to win a copy of this at the time.

[@werideatdusk]

The alt version of Cash Car Star is supposedly the first thing they recorded with Jimmy when he came back. But yeah its not supposed to be at track 2.

[@flightgravity7483]

I think you may have made a mistake and used the same file for Cash Car Star twice.

[@koolkat7618]

So many great songs! I wish this actually got the proper release it deserved. Too f****** bad Universal won’t let them put out the reissue.

[@jvkofficial07]

@koolkat7618 I feel the same. Universal just HAS to "unite" the two albums so that they can be a "couple" again.

[@palms159]

Is there any confirmation on the precise point of conflict regarding the reissue? They don't want to put out stuff that was once given for free? They can't agree who owns what? They don't want to put out an 80 song deluxe edition?

[@DennisMHenderson]

i hope ‘Thae fix this with extending the machina won aesthetic & leave this demo album a$ evidence
