God I love this song so much

One of my favorites off of Mellon Collie

it's pretty rad yeah

Yeah it's essential

I like listening to it.

I don't like listening to it. Sounds too harsh. But I like the song itself and the energy in the record. I would enjoy hearing a creative alternate arrangement that had more emphasis on the melody.

shit box this turd

shit box this turd

anagram: Hi Trots Sixth Bud. Bud :eek:

This song is essential to me. It's definitely at the very edge of the soft/heavy spectrum of SP's repertoire. I love how pushed-to-the-limit the sound and the performance is.

Yes, I like it very much, when I first heard the song on the MCIS cassette, I went to my laptop and downloaded the album...That was in 2009.

goes good. not one of my favourites but it's a cool song unlike anything else the band ever did.

Why one star this thread? The song is pretty good...I mean would you rather listen to something from Mellon Collie or some shit song from Oceania? I'd rather listen to 12 songs identical to Tales Of A Scorched Earth than listen to anything that's on Oceania...

I like at the end when that sound goes BOOOV

I really never got into that song...

i like that the pumpkins went there, conceptually
but they're not the kind of band that could pull it off.
not tight and forceful enough

I like the breakdown and the build up.

i like it, but the production isn't very good. you can hardly hear the drums, that are quite fantastic i think

This song was a ton of fun when I was 17. I think if you're looking for a Cyber Metal ideal, though, X.Y.U. is a better interpretation of the subgenre.

I hate that the drums are buried, but I love Billy's vocals. He and Flood knew that with these lyrics, they had to really go for it.

Probably my least favorite song off of Mellon Collie. I would have preferred "Marquis in Spades" be there in its place.

It's 2012. Burn your MCIS discs on to your computer, throw them away, then burn the album on to blank discs with Marquis in Spades in it's place, then put it back in the MCIS case.

Boom.

^ When you get Oceania you can do the same thing but replace all of the tracks with Siamese Dream

Boom.

I should do this with set the ray to Jerry in place of beautiful

Yeah the first part with the cheap electronic drums is cheesy, but when that riff comes in on the "I love you..." part, it's such classic Pumpkins.

Yup. The beginning of the "So let the clouds roll by your face" line through the end is Billy at some of his finest.

"I'll be under your stars forever."

they used to be so good...

I love how in the fadeout the lyric changes to "I'll be under your stairs forever..."

creepy!

yeah i'd like to hear a remix of toase w/ less overdubs, louder drums, minus the distortion on the vocals...bill's voice could get distorted enough on its own

Yes. This song would have been amazing live - but they NEVER PLAYED IT LIVE - WTF!?

He probably can't sing it all the way through

then slow it down, turn the lights up soft and play it acoustic, baby

That would actually be kinda cool.

yeah i've always wanted to hear an acoustic arrangement

i mean the lyrics are good enough for it, they should try it out

or someone should make a cover

seriously. do it.

After spending a lot of time with the MCIS vinyl (and thus being essentially forced thru this track whereas I've always skipped it on the CD) I am converted. This song is incredible.

The vocal distortion, which was my initial barrier to enjoyment, now strikes me as a sorta bratty, self-referential, over-the-top Farewell to this genre of SP song. (You know, the 3 or 4 note hypnotic verse riff with driving drums, followed by power chord chorus with sing-song melody ala Hello Kitty Kat and many others). Cause really there's no song like that on any subsequent SP release, is there?

The production choices thus strike me as the band (or bill/Flood) saying "fuck it all cause I don't care." Like, let's cram every single grain of distortion we can possibly fit onto it b/c this is the last one of its kind.

Plus "you're all whores and I'm a fag and I got no mother and I got no dad to save me." Holy shit, what a lyric

For some reason I really like the demo version on the reissue where you can hear Jimmy count the band in

The contrast between the tight, clean rhythm and the sonic explosion that follows is really cool

^ I like how you use the word hypnotic to describe the riff. One of the best things about the band is their hypnotic sections, something that's sorely missing from later stuff. You can't really lose yourself in Panopticon

there's machina 2

there's machina 2

Yeah? Which songs you think fit the bill? I perceive Machina II as more a continuation of the baroque/cybermetal introduced on MCIS whereas I'm positing "Tales" as the last in the line of the Gish thru SD style psych rock tracks like Siva, Blue, Why Am I So Tired, etc.

thank god billy is striving for new sounds

sd sucks cybermetal is life

Y'know I was thinking of White Spyder when you mentioned MII. While I'd agree the recording is a spiritual cousin to Tales in its harsh/overdriven aesthetic, it's not quite the type of song I'm thinking of structurally. I'm talking the big heavy psych rockers with the gigantic verse riffs that are like so big yet minimalist at the same time. Geek. Jellybelly. Hello Kitty Kat where it's literally two fucking notes but it sounds big as a mountain range

Anyway, cool, glad you seem to like Tales too

Fucking great song

Shit production though, can barely hear Jimmy! He's buried under a mountain of guitar and fuzz! Shame they never played it live. That bridge, fuckkkkkk

The chorus of this song always reminded me of the bridge in 'To Forgive' which is also a great tune.

tales is fucking sickening iridescent scillitationing ascending from the subterreneal infernitudes

yeah.

also what happened to ball sack face. such a charmer!

Anyway, cool, glad you seem to like Tales too

You know, nevermind, I've never seen so much love for Tales in this thread :)
