MACHINA Appreciation

When I first started listening to the Pumpkins, everyone would tell me that the two ultimate albums were Siamese Dream and Mellon Collie. That was years ago. Today MCIS remains my favorite pumpkins album, as well as my favorite of all time. But I think that MACHINA is nearly as good as SD. Definately SP's 3rd greatest album, at the very least. Of course, it took me forgetting and dismissing the whole "Glass and the Machines of God" concept to truly appreciate how awesome the songs on MACHINA are.

I dunno, maybe I'm alone in this opinion. But I believe that MACHINA is a very misunderstood and brilliant album that always seems to get mistreated by the fans. And judging by the responses to this thread, I guess I'll find out.

BTW, does anybody know the technical term for what Billy wore throughout the MACHINA tour? The whole black dress-thing that wasn't really a dress. For the longest time I thought it was called a Gaultier... until I found out there is no such thing.
