Not the Pumpkins finest hour
The album is filed with a bunch of songs that didn't quite make it to cd previously, and probably shouldn't have made it to this one. I'm a huge fan of the Smashing Pumpkins (I have all of their other albums and for the most part really enjoy them), but this did not live up to my expectations. Besides their cover of Landslide, and maybe one or two others, I probably won't be giving this a listen again anytime soon.


One of the best
I just got it today and I love it! If you're a collector of SP's material, this is a MUST, as it contains songs from the Siamese sessions that didn't make the final cut that weren't on any singles or anything, so this is pretty much the only way of accessing them. I ordered the CD form of this because was not on Smashing Pumpkins' vast Amazon MP3 catalog. They are up to par with the album too! By the way, this album is also great for the casual fan because this is your usual early Pumpkins, very impressive. Anyway, the previously unavailable songs, in order, are "Frail and Bedazzled", "Whir" and "Spaced". Another song on here that's exclusive to this collection is "La Dolly Vita" on CD. "La Dolly Vita" was originally on the "Tristessa" single which was only available on vinyl, and it is available as a good CD-quality track here. So, after you reading this short review you can probably tell that it wasn't exactly for those who are totally new and unfamiliar to the Smashing Pumpkins, but more familiar fans and collectors. However, this CD is a must for those who are trying to collect all of their stuff, those who loved "Siamese Dream" (didn't we all???) and anyone who loves 90's alternative in general (check out "Frail and Bedazzled")! ATTENTION: There is a bonus single that came with the vinyl edition of Pisces that featured two old demos. They are available right here on Amazon MP3 under the album "Rarities and B-sides"; they are tracks 26 & 27. So, after you order this CD, snag those two MP3s so you'll have the [more interesting] expanded edition of Pisces!.


Quick, Great Price
I was happy with this cd, it shipped quickly despite the case being cracked (no big deal, cd was still good) and you can't beat the price.


These throw-aways are better then most preserves
If the over-baked, multi-disced TAFH is too much pumpkin pie, Pisces will more then make up for it with this tasty compilation, making up a majority of enthusiastically approved b-sides which sounds more compelling then anything the band ever did A-side wise following next year's last double-disced stand .


Great Album,Great Band

If you like them and like alternative rock/grunge at 90's last century,do not miss this Album!!
. This is another masterpiece made by Great band Smashing Pumpkins,that was 1997 when I first got this album,it's only a tape and I still keep it until now.
