If it is Jeff playing a kazoo, Mike on trash can drums, Nicole playing the whoopy cushion, and Billy making manatee noises on top of a recording of him and Courtney Love having wild jungle sex in the middle of Times Square. I hope it will be half as bad ass as this is. Oh yeah that's a great cover!

Near perfect encore for the original band, and ultimately their brightest and happiest song. Genuinely uplifting.

9.9 :heart

Re: RATE A SONG - UNTITLED 1 year 9 months ago #91701

it sounds harsh but I am giving this song a big Zero 0......probably my least favourite pumpkins song. Like I cringe when I hear even a bar of the song. I hate this song. As a known pumpkins fan to my friends I am embarrassed by this song. Like that other people might hear it and assume that I must like it. Its so bad.

The Smashing Pumpkins "Untitled" is the perfect song it has all of the qualities a song from The Smashing Pumpkins should have, it has beautiful music, rich layering, lush production, great lyrics, and freshness. It was a classic song from The Smashing Pumpkins but it also gave us a glimpse of things to come, Billy's voice was in a diffident key and the song its self was rather cheery, in many ways it sounded like Zwan or The Smashing Pumpkins of the future. It's a great song live too, I really hope The Smashing Pumpkins decide to put "Untitled" back in the set list the next time they tour. I rate The Smashing Pumpkins "Untitled" 10 / 10, it's one of my favorites (my favorite song from The Smashing Pumpkins is "As Rome Burns").

I'm glad to see The Smashing Pumpkins "Lucky 13" get the recognition it deserves, The Smashing Pumpkins "Lucky 13" kicks more ass than it should be legal to kick.

Re: RATE A SONG - UNTITLED 1 year 9 months ago #91706

eh, I'll give it a 6.5. It's a great song when set to that compilation of pumpkins memories... but nothing I'd listen to by myself out of context. Just seems like a farewell song for the band, not something I can relate to but something I can appreciate as "this is how rad my favorite band is."

Eww. Smashing Pumpkins are your favorite band? You must have an awful taste in music.

Re: RATE A SONG - UNTITLED 1 year 9 months ago #91717

I cringed when I first heard this song. I was disappointed SP had split, but when Billy said this song was an indication of their future sound it suddenly didn't seem so bad that they weren't making another album.

It's not really a terrible song and I do like it more now than I used to, but it's too much of an upbeat pop song... and even then not a great one. Still, I do listen to it now and then.

I can't help but think people are over-sentimentalising this song due to it being the last SP song (well, for a while ;)). Maybe I'm just being a grumpy old cynic, but I just can't hear anything special going on in this song at all.

All the fuzzy brightness of Zwan, but without Billy's lyrics about having tea and gay rainbow sex with unicorns. Basically, :zwan + BALLS. 8.6

I equally express my confusion to those who don't get this song.

For me, it's as good a single as they ever had. The sentiment that it was the last original SP song is not taken into account by Frankie.
In fact, that just mean the song has to live up to a high standard.

And it does :billy

This song is as catchy as Today, Tonight, Tonight and 1979.

Nothing like SD as Billy described it, but a definite FUCK YOU to anyone who thought the pumpkins had lost it.

imo ;)
