I have the feeling a lot of people will be rating this song high.
But personally it's a bit difficult to get into. The production is a little poor, and the guitars a little mundane.
I don't mind the chorus though.

4.8 :heart

I have to admit, when I first got PI, this song didn't really stand-out or appeal all that much to me. I much preferred Pissant and following on from that HKK seemed a bit weak to me. But it grew on me over the years and it has that fuzzy psychedelic sound that I really miss from SP.

Yeah, I kind of agree. I actually think I like it better than Geek USA :o

6.5

I don't like the hissy quality of the guitar on the studio version, so 7, but the Mashed Potatoes demo version is a straight up 10. Make of the 2 ratings what you will Frank.

Another song that I think is better live than in the studio version. A better song than songs by most other bands of the era, a very "Siamese" sounding pumpkins song, but nonetheless the thing I find the most interesting about this song is that Billy lists this as his most passive aggressive song or something to that effect in the liner notes. I'd rate it higher if it were the live version, but as it stands on Pisces Iscariot I give it a 7.

Atmospheric, original - Obscured feels like it is searching for something lost...

I agree with you frank, it feels lost, but in a good way. I have to give it a higher score though. 9.

Something about pretty much all of PI is going to get super high scores from me. The songs have this emotion and feeling in almost all of them that it is hard to understand, or even come by in another band. Another reason why I love SP.

I really believe this is one of the songs on Pisces Iscariot that I could listen to on repeat. It's so relaxing and mellow, I have to give this song a 10.

7 - PI is a collection of songs that are good background music, but lack the extra effort and creativity to make them much more than 6's and 7's.

More classic SP! Songs like this really make me sad that Billy can't evoke this kind of emotion within me with his recent music. Still, at least I have stuff like this to keep going back to. 8.5
