French album certifications – The Smashing Pumpkins – Mellon Collie ant The Infinite Sadness" (in French). Syndicat National de l'Édition Phonographique. Archived from the original on September 24, 2012 . Retrieved June 3, 2021. The original double album debuted at #1 on the Billboard Top 200 chart, received 7 Grammy Award nominations and featured 5 hit singles 'Bullet With Butterfly Wings', '1979', 'Zero , 'Tonight, Tonight', 'Muzzle' and 'Thirty-Three', The reissue project was remastered from the original analog masters and personally overseen by founding member Billy Corgan with extensive bonus material from the Pumpkins' archives. After the 13-month tour in support of the Smashing Pumpkins' second album Siamese Dream (1993), Billy Corgan immediately began writing songs for the band's next record. [8] From the outset, the band intended the new record to be a double album, partly inspired by the Beatles' self-titled album. [9] Corgan said, "We almost had enough material to make Siamese Dream a double album. With this new album, I really liked the notion that we would create a wider scope in which to put other kinds of material we were writing." [10] Corgan felt that the band's musical approach was running its course, and wanted the band to approach the album as if it were its last. [11] Corgan described the album at the time to the music press as " The Wall for Generation X", [12] a comparison with Pink Floyd's 1979 album, one of the highest-selling and best-known concept albums of all time. [13]

The songs on Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness are intended to work together conceptually, with the two halves of the album representing day and night. [17] Despite this, Corgan has rejected the term concept album to describe it, and it was at the time described as more "loose" and "vague" than were the band's previous records. [8] [17] [22] He also said it is based on "the human condition of mortal sorrow". [23] Corgan aimed the album's message at people between 14 and 24 years of age, hoping "to sum up all the things I felt as a youth but was never able to voice articulately. ... I'm waving goodbye to me in the rear view mirror, tying a knot around my youth and putting it under the bed."

Mellon Collie is weird in that it’s a combination of nihilism, sentimentality, and epic hope,” Billy Corgan reflected to Rolling Stone.
