Interestingly, "Zero" is probably the worst track on its single. Songs like "God", "Mouths of Babes", and "Pennies" should have earned spots on Mellon Collie instead of existing simply as B-sides. An obviously noteworthy track is "Pastichio Medley", a massive collage of short outtake clips from unused studio recordings that pushes the single's length to one that could apply to a full-length album. The medley overdoes it a bit though - unfortunately almost the entire second half of the song consists of three heavily distorted guitar notes slowly repeated over and over.
