Esa no era nuestra intención esta vez, aunque también se hizo". Mellon Collie feels like the last great hurrah for a certain breed of Gen X American rock band, a final grand statement from a disparate group of artists bound together by the fact that they’d upended the pop apple cart by accident. A la semana siguiente, el álbum debutó en el puesto número uno de la lista Billboard 200,[1]​ algo inusual para un álbum doble con un precio superior a los $20. El crítico Jim DeRogatis alabó el álbum diciendo que era "uno de los pocos lanzamientos de rock épico cuya mayor parte está justificado con sus ritmos". Later, things got forensic at Chicago Recording Company and the Village Recorder in Los Angeles, with Corgan famously telling Rolling Stone’s David Fricke about splicing together vocal takes for Zero in search of a flawless Frankenstein’s monster.
