hough it’s been nearly 20 years since Smashing Pumpkins’ Mellon Collie And The Infinite Sadness landed like a bomb on the mid-‘90s alternative rock scene, the band has recently demonstrated that it hasn’t lost its ear for catchy melody or edgy riffs with its 10th studio release, Monuments To An Elegy. The band carefully walks the fence between abrasiveness and accessibility, all the while, unleashing song after incredible song built around powerful, textural guitar melodies, Corgan’s classic howl, and Tommy Lee’s (Mötley Crüe) explosive drumming.
