Rotten Apples (The Smashing Pumpkins – Greatest Hits as titled on the album's cover) is a greatest hits compilation album by alternative rock band The Smashing Pumpkins. In the US, it was released on November 20, 2001, along with a bonus disc titled Judas O. The album's concluding track, "Untitled", was the Pumpkins' final recording before their breakup.<ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref> Completed in the days leading up to the band's farewell concert at the Metro in Chicago, it was also released as a single. Another notable track is "Real Love"; while previously released on Machina II/The Friends & Enemies of Modern Music, this was taken from the factory master tapes and, as a result, lacks the pops and clicks inherent in all copies of Machina II (which is vinyl sourced).Template:Citation needed
The title of the album comes from the name of a B-side that was originally released on the "Tonight, Tonight" single. Peaking at number 31 in the US,<ref name=":0">{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref> the album sold 77,000 units in its first week of being released.<ref>Template:Cite book</ref>
Release and receptionEdit
Rotten Apples was released on November 20, 2001. According to Dan Tallis, writing for BBC, this album was "[a] rare pleasure these days, a collection of tracks that span a band's career that can actually justify the Greatest Hits title."<ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref> Regarding the Judas O disc, Tallis wrote, "[t]he Judas O B-sides and rarities collection will satisfy Pumpkin obsessives with its outtakes from the Adore and Machina sessions, but it simply cannot compete with its sister CD. 'Here's to the Atom Bomb', 'Waiting' and 'Rock On', (yes, a cover of the David Essex classic - which also features lyrics from Van Halen songs) stand out from the others, which at worst slip into incoherent rock ramblings."<ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref>
Track listingEdit
There exists two versions of Rotten Apples; one is exclusive to North America and includes the song "Landslide", which is replaced by "Try, Try, Try" in the international version.
