JUDAS 0

'''Judas Ø''' is a collection of B-sides and rarities by the Smashing Pumpkins. It was packaged as a bonus disc in a limited-edition printing of ''Rotten Apples'', their greatest hits collection. The songs are largely from the ''Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness'', ''Adore'', and ''Machina/The Machines of God'' recording sessions, and some tracks can be found on ''The Aeroplane Flies High'', and ''Machina II/The Friends & Enemies of Modern Music''. ''Judas Ø'' is considered the sister album to ''Pisces Iscariot'', a collection of B-sides and rarities from the ''Gish'' and ''Siamese Dream'' eras. Music critic Jim DeRogatis commented that ''Judas Ø'' is "superior to the rarities collection ''Pisces Iscariot'' because it reflects the tremendous musical and lyrical growth of the group from ''Adore'' through its untimely demise."^[1]
