Not a huge Pumpkins Fan, but...
I'm not really a big SP fan, so I'm probably a good person to write a review of this. I bought this primarily because it contains most of the songs by the Pumpkins that I like (1979, Zero, Bullet With Butterfly Wings, and Tonight, Tonight.
All in all, it's a pretty good album otherwise, but I think it's a little long winded. It's a double disc (Disc 1: Dawn to Dusk, and Disc 2: Twilight to Starlight). I personally feel like there is a lot of filler on here, and this album would have been much better if limited to a single disc. There are 28 total tracks...14 per disc, and that's about 14 too many. Some of the other tracks are pretty good, I have not learned the titles of them all yet, because I've only listened to it a couple of times, and had never heard the tracks before I got this CD, as the radio only plays the big 4 tracks from this album.
Based on this album, I'd probably be hard pressed to purchase another Pumpkins album without hearing the whole thing first. But I did want this one in my collection, simply because I like the songs I mentioned above.
I will say that the CD does have great packaging. Obviously it's a double-CD jewel case design, and the two discs look nice (although my Disc 1 had a really bad skip on track 11 "Galapogos", but I was able to polish the disc and make it play properly...although you can easily see a bad scratch on the disc). It comes not only with a complete lyric booklet, but also another booklet of images all in the theme of the front and back cover of the album (CD). Nice packaging...which is part of the alure of owning physical product over downloading audio files.
