This Time

"This Time" is a song from The Smashing Pumpkins' fifth studio album, Machina/The Machines of God. The song was written and primarily recorded in one day, and it was the only recording from the Machina sessions that used guitar amps and cabs from Siamese Dream and/or Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness eras. With the inevitable breakup on the horizon, Billy Corgan described the song as "my love song to the band."
