In short, I don't think we have enough information about the song to make a solid conclusion.

In my opinion it sounds like something that would have been quite welcome had it been one of the first songs after the return of the band in 2007, but it's not, so people are making a fuss over it.

I don't know, it sounds great to me. I really like the vocals, and it's very catchy, the whole 30 seconds of it.

Seriously, what the fuck Billy thinks, he's doing? Letting all the brilliant songs (like Communion) being unrecorded live-raries while selling out one 101-rocker after the other...the clip sounds dull...I mean, really, really dull...maybe Billy somehow survived the status of a rockstar and should focus more on what everyone expects of him to be: a songwriter, a musician!
What he's doing now is just making money in a very undignified way...leave us alone with that crap, man noone needs a commercial jingle! But what did I expect?
Pfff, I think we'll never ever see something like Mellon Collie or Machina2 again...that's probably the end of the Pumpkins...it's going under in a trivially cyclus!
Every step since the reunion was a mistake, EVRYONE!!!
Billy should have stayed as a solo artist and he shouldn't have given a fuck about public intrests and anything but the music....
Seriously, who needs such a band:

No more albums,
just some good livesong,
ultra crapy rock-singles that all sound the same...

...I think sooner or later, it will be over...

I'm sorry to say, I almost agree. I'll wait till I hear the full song to give my opinion, but this seems really dull. Not even remotely exciting. I just don't understand how he can use his old vocals live, then in the studio he does those horrid, emotionless Zeitgeist vocals. If all he cares about is getting big again, then the only thing that can save his career now is some of those live-only songs, or a new album. As Rome Burns would be a chart topper. Owata, 99 Floors, Song For A Son...those would all wipe the floor with G.L.O.W, Zeitgeist or this new "jingle". Although, he shouldn't give a rat's ass about publicity.

Hopefully the full song is better. That said, his studio vocals lately annoy the crap out of me.

i think you can maybe download the song for free from the car site staring February 1.

go to this link
www.hyundaigenesis.com/coupe/default.aspx?OpenURL=gallery

after it loads kind of click on the vid and text appears at the bottom that says "download song" or something. that will take you to another screen where you can download it tomorrow- i hope the whole song.

good find blueczarina, it does look like we can get it tomorrow! =) and to don and turnsleftlooksright, you make good points... I really can't turn my back and billy and jimmy but this is kind of getting ridiculous. This is just my take but it somewhat feels that Billy would throw all of his die hard fans (like us) aside to just have another big hit again... That being said, I enjoy the song... Its a very cool guitar riff but i would like some of those live songs to be recorded...

and i guess all we can do is hope for more mcis brilliance.

Nice find. Click on Bonus. You can also hear a little more of the beginning of the song.

Cool finds Eastern & Blue!

Chomping at the bit to be able to hear the full version of the song tomorrow.

The superchrist snippit I'd like to hear more of that too before I say anything but it sounds like an interesting direction.

OK not playing anyones advicate here or anything but really ...whoops I have to go . I'll finish that thought when I get back. Drat time.

if i wasn't at work i would listen i will as soon as i get home though.

omg the song sounds pretty amazing.

also, the site says FOL is 7.5MB.
that seems like quite a bit.
do you think it's just because of the quality?
or is it actually because of it's length?
i know we can't tell right now but what do you think?

Let's hope it's a combination of the two cundinamarca.


Sorry about cutting out in the middle of the last post, but I'm not thinking that Billy & Jimmy are wanting to throw the diehards to the curb. To be able to do what it seems like they want to do they have to get out there and be known. Stay relevent and as they always have on the cutting edge of whatever cusp is coming.

Just a thought, would you rather have something that is precious to a diehard fan put out there for a commercial or something that at the time has no meaning..but can gain meaning?

So there has to be some sort of middle, a balance just like a person should have a balance of everything. Because in a sense the band is an organic, living, breathing, ever changing, growing thing. If it dosen't grow and change it just is. Kind of like if a shark dosen't keep moving it dies.

The past and the present and future need to blend and maybe room needs to be made for the changes and the progression. But just because something is moving forward dosen't mean that it is forgetting the past, or dropping it. You must have and respect the past to have the present and future have any meaning.

Just saying that I don't want SP or BC or JC (or any of the fine music makers that contribute) to just die off into nothingness. Where as if they don't stay in the minds eye they just might.


Squeeeeeeeee! I'm soo excited about tomorrow! That bonus is awesome McMurder!

I'm liking the first bit.

I catch the damage in the air
I've got the skull and bones
I lick the polish chrome"

On the original page there is a link on the lower right side that takes you to the download page. When you click on the download link a window pops up that tells you to return on the 1st to download the song.

By the way thanks Smashing Pumpkins & Billy for the free song.
