The Aeroplane Flies High - Smashing Pumpkins
Rating: 7/10
Overall it was a good box set. If you already had all the 5 singles
buying this set wouldn't really be very helpful to add to your
pumpkins collection, since there are mainly only a few songs on
each single that isn't on the original single. It might take a
while to get used to the different sounds that are in this set
but after you listen to all the cd's you will, hopefully, enjoy
it and won't find it a huge waste of money.
