8.5

I love this song.

I'll give this an 8!

I think it'll be unfortunately easy for a lot of people to start rating songs lower outside of gish, siamese, and infinite . This is a good example -- but I think this song would rate higher if it were actually included on siamese dream. I think this a very good song-- worthy of a pumpkins' fan best intentions. An easy 8.5 from me -- and perhaps deserving of higher.

OKAY THE VOTES ARE IN!!

I'd say this isn't quite as good as the first three - for a song that's over 4 minutes, it doesn't really go anywhere. But, it does have a nice relaxed vibe throughout which carries it pretty well, and, as usual for this period, Billy's vocals add tons of emotion to the song.

7.5

It's actually making me a bit sad, that these out-takes on Pisces are better than most of the TGBK songs so far - although I think the emotion in Billy's voice is what really does it.

I always thought this was an ugly song with a very uncomfortable vibe.

In fact I sort of forgot about it till this thread, I've probably listened to it less than 50 times.

big ugly mediocre 5

Yeah, another 100% Pumpkins tune (especially lyrically).
Beauty from the beginning to the melancholic ending - just a bit too short.

It's really funny to read how some songs have such a different effect on SP fans.
Looks like PI is shaping up to be SP's most divided album.
Soothe, Frail + Plume all have their moments - but none of them come up to the par of Siamese Dream or Gish. (IMO)

I think Whir adds a much needed change of pace to the album. It's merry, lighthearted, emotional, and a great song to chill to. Lyrically speaking, it's great because it tells a story that many will relate to.
The end is the definitely the best part, as Whir's cheerfulness suddenly explodes into a painful realization. If it had gone on longer, it certainly would have been worthy of SD.
I see in it lies, a dormant Soma.

Sidenote: I don't dislike Plume by any means, but the line "I just want to have some little fun" has always bothered me.

i will give it a 7 and in case your wondering i was going to merge Plume into the merged thread, but accidentally got Whir because i had them both open on two tabs. i fucked, but i think its all back together now.

That Courtney pic looks half-zombie if you see it in the wrong light. Although it probably doesn't look far from full zombo if you see it in the "right" light.

10, I love this song. One of my favorite from PI, and of pre-MCIS Pumpkins. I don't really know why, it just sorta clicks with me.

And Jaxx, in the right light with an HD moniter that picture of Courtney could fit right in with something off of The Walking Dead.
