Editorial Reviews

Amazon.com

Earphoria is something of a headscratcher. A sprawling, mostly live collection of tracks recorded in concert and during television performances, the disc stops short of the band's mid-'90s commercial peak, with the latest offering culled from '94. What's more, there's a roughness to the edits, suggesting a quick turnaround or possibly a lack of involvement from infamous perfectionist and Pumpkin head Billy Corgan. "Soma," for instance, fades abruptly, midapplause. Better-known tracks such as "Disarm" and "Today"--recorded on English TV and in Chicago, respectively--offer negligible changes over their studio siblings. Collectors will appreciate "French Movie Theme" and the rambling, unhinged--and quarter-hour-long--"Why Am I So Tired." But really, this one is for die-hards only and a pale companion to 2001's comprehensive Greatest Hits. --Kim Hughes

5.0 out of 5 stars Yet more misinformation., January 2, 2003
This review is from: Earphoria (Audio CD)
There are no extra or bonus tracks on this import version compared to the U.S. release of Earphoria. The little paper Japanese sleeve is cool...but probably not worth $30. Save yourself some money and get the cheaper version.

5.0 out of 5 stars Amazon's Wrong, November 27, 2002
Amazon.com's (...)own review/synopsis for this disc is massively confusing and misleading. Earphoria is not a "live disc" or a "greatest hits disc", it is the soundtrack to the Smashing Pumpkins first home video "Viewphoria." It's not meant to be thought of as it's own entity (hence the rough cuts and archaic song choices, these are the takes from the video which was released in the mid '90s). This album is not new either, but is a re-release of the original promo soundtrack to the video that has been very hard to find until now. It's a great disc for any Pumpkin Head and actually a good introduction to the energy and freedom that is the Pumpkins live sound.

5.0 out of 5 stars Do your homework critics!!, July 14, 2004
By Matthew Jarboe (Hereford, AZ United States) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This CD is a re-release of the original Earphoria of which very few copies were made. So comparing it to the "Greatest Hits," as the media reviewer has, is about the dumbest thing possible. It was originally released in 1994 as the soundtrack to the VHS of vieuphoria. One last comment on the media reviewer's comments: the guy obviously hasn't listened to this album. The version of Disarm on this CD is distorted and faster compared to the slow acoustic version on Siamese Dream. Get a brain Kim.

As far as the CD, I think it gives a good view of the live performances the pumpkins gave before they hit the spotlight on October 23, 1995 with the release of Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness. Billy's singing voice isn't nearly as good as his studio recordings would leave you to believe during these sessions.

The acoustic version of Mayonaise is reason enough to buy this CD. It's probably one of the most emotional songs the Pumpkins ever recorded.

P.S. If you're going to review a CD (especially for a magazine or something) at least listen to it before reviewing it so you don't look like an idiot.
