First single fom their 2000 release 'MACHINA/the machines of God'. A return to a more 'Rocky' sound than the electronica tinged 'Adore' album. Tracks 'Stand Inside Your Love' and 'Speed Kills' (not included on the album). 2000 release. Slimline jewel case.
""Stand Inside Your Love" is spectacular,a huge,booming,stadium-shaker,full of sonic fireworks and Billy Corgan's swoon inducing vocals.It was released when the Pumpkins had to prove they still had something like this in them,after thier pastoral mood experiment "Adore" left a lot of fans scratching thier heads.In that context, "Stand" is a triumphant statement of purpose,but in the long run,I think it will be seen as a classic love song,one that equals the rush of giddyness and dread and excitement and desperate,sweet pain that comes with love."
Awesome single, awesome b-side

"With the definite "smash" hit Stand Inside Your Love and the the extremely well written, well produced b-side, Speed Kills, this is going to sell great. Speed Kills contends w/ Stand Inside Your Love for the best song on the single. Reason why Billy Corgan and Flood decided to keep it off MACHINA-it didn't fit the theme."

"Firsthand, I have to admit my dissapointment at the lack of "Speed Kills"'s inclusion onto "Machina". But, anyhow,both songs here demonstrate first rate rock billing and both are among the most impressive in the Pumpkin's entire musical canon. Great stuff!"
A Fabulous Addition to Machina; Both Songs Are Triumphs

"This hard- to- find import c.d. features two tracks, "Stand inside Your Love", and "Speed Kills". As every Pumpkins fan knows, "Stand Inside Your Love" is a beautiful, dramatic song that deserves to be in every music lovers c.d. collection. However, the song that is also a gem is "Speed Kills". This song is a true gem. The song is put together, written, and performed beautifully. I strongly recommend that any person who is a Smashing Pumpkins fan, or a Machina fan, to go out today and pick up this c.d. because it is very, very good."
