Love this song. Pisces is a great album, although there's a few sucky songs.

9.5

I think this song doesn't feel as "big" as some other ones from gish and siamese like rhinoceros or hummer because it specifically references a singular girl(which very few pumpkins songs do) and because musically it never breaks out of the dreaminess to become a rock song full of powerful epiphanies like the other big ones. It stays subtle and soft and delicate. And haven't any of you ever loved something for its softer side? I love this song for all the softest reasons. An easy 9.5.

Rate the given song from 1-10. 1 being the lowest, 10 being the highest
The higher the number, the more you enjoy the song.
You can use any kind of decimal addition you like.
Anything below a 1 will be counted as a 1.
Anything above 10 will be counted as a 10.
If i can't tell what you're trying to rate the song your vote will not be counted.
If you for some reason decide to change your vote, don't modify your first vote, make a new post saying what your old and new scores are.
I'll compile the results for each song once the replies slow down or stop coming in, after that the score is set.
Feel free to discuss.

It's not about waiting for me, it's about pacing. Just seems like the Whir thread ended faster than the previous ones.

I thought Whir had been going on a bit longer than the others, but I dunno, just seemed like it to me.

Actually it didn't. (go quicker)


I close a thread if certain members have voted (or at least been online). We probably have 15 voters who vote every round, and we collect an average of 17-22 votes.

So if I log on 24 hrs after posting and see only 13 votes have been pasted it will stay up for at least one more day.
If 17 or more have been posted I will make sure the regulars have voted.

I see you're online quite often Uglyjoe, and I'm quite disappointed you don't vote some rounds.

Not bad for a James song. Fits in nicely after Whir, allowing for a sudden surge of rage when Pissant comes on. I think I'd give it a 7 or even higher, based on how it works in the context of the album, but judging it as a solitary song I'll go with 6.5.

Ah, I thought you had been doing them based on time and not number of votes.

I don't vote often because I don't like to vote without giving the song a good listen and coming up with some kind of comment. If I don't get the time to do that, I tend not to vote.

When I first got this album, this song stood out.
But now I couldn't give a (explicative) about it.
Seriously speaking, it is an artificially produced song. James getting his first chance to channel his country-ness.

I'll give it a 6.6 :heart for now, but I feel I'm being soft on it :billy

Well I give the song a good thorough listen before I decide on the rating.
Then I post my comments,.

Depending on the length of the song, this normally takes less than fifteen minutes all together.

..
If you are afraid of your vote not being posted, you can post me for advance songs anytime. Any comments you wish to be included will be delegated to the appropriate thread 8-)
