Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness is like the White Album of the 90s. It’s kind of all over the place, but fantastic at the same time. After the uplifting “Tonight, Tonight”, “Jellybelly” really kicks the album into high gear.

The video for this song from Between the Bridges gives a pretty decent impression of how Sloan will regularly mix up their lineup mid-performance.
The rock scene could do with a bit more banjo and slide guitar playing.
