ZEROpumpkins 01.25.2009 08:20 AM

Yeah Siamese Dream is great, MCIS is good too though. As an album Siamese Dream is better.

Somebody rate each post in this thread!

joe11121 01.27.2009 11:58 PM

Hahah. Sleeping Around is Terrible. I'm not sure how it even made an album. But, I think I mark the songs on Ripped hard, just because I'm not a fan of the album as a whole, it's just so un-sonicyouth-like and it kind of shocked me, but some songs held up a good part.

ZEROpumpkins 01.28.2009 12:28 AM

Sleeping Around is indeed terrible. It's not even relevant to Thurston, as a married man.

Almost all of Pavement's songs have fucked up lyrics. That's why I like them.

I like that song (even if there's something awkward about it indeed - the too direct reference to Joy Division's Transmission maybe), the guitars remind me of Jeff Buckley's Nightmare by the sea.

Dedicated to Dennis Nielsen - Hmm, not as good as "Ripper Territory" - 3/5
Cock Dominant - A toe-tapping number live, here it's not so fab - 3/5
Tit Pulp - Ah, the joys of the P Best/M Dowd love-fest - 4/5
Gilles Des Rais - What could have been a monster track is a bit of a let-down - 2.5/5
Pro-Rapist - Hmm, pretty meh really - 2/5
Death Penalty - Pure Genius - 5/5
The Street Cleaner - Loses points for the too-quiet vocals - 3.5/5
Bloodfucking - Hey, isn't this an SJ number?...It is! 4/5
Queen Myra - Genuinely chilling - 5/5
New Sadist - Brilliant - 5/5
Right to Kill - the bit towards the end is a real affecting moment - 5/5

You said it! The Machina II version is one of my favorite SP songs. I even put it on the mix I gave to my wife when we first met.

ZEROpumpkins 02.22.2009 02:53 AM

Production on Machina was so terrible, ruined the Pumpkins for me.
