Do you listen to studio tracks or live boots more?
Aside from the dreamlike perfection of SD, I'll always prefer live stuff. Hearing them speed up songs so much is amazing, the banter in between, the different solos and fills, the live energy...
Aside from SD, all their records sound either stale or shitty |
80% albums
20% live |
I listen to the records a ton more, especially because I prefer watching concerts on video than just listening to them.
And the records only sound shitty from Zeitgeist forward imo (machina 2 has a few weird sounding songs too) |
when i was younger i always sought out the boots; however, now I listen to the studio recordings more. Maybe it has to do with finally getting all these old 90s albums on vinyl with the reissues.
I always did appreciate that the pumpkins live versions were often different than the studio or at least had a different vibe to them. |
nah
|
I only started seeking out recordings in the last few years. I've listened to the albums several thousand times more than I have or will anything live, and I tend not to bother unless the audio quality's good.
|
95% live
5% albums |
Neither. I listen exclusively to demos.
Jackboot 666 !!! Yeah! |
like 95% studio albums but i know there is so much good live stuff i should probably check out
and yes, machina 2 has some terrible sounding tracks. they'll be fixed on the reissue, though |
ilikepoops
|
i know you do
|
Do you listen to studio tracks or live poots more?
|
definitely live poots, i have a 4 month old
|
I was a live guy for several years (took the time to download all of the archive fm, pre-fm, and sbd shows) but have crawled back to albums on the stereo.
|
90% live.
5% studio 5% mike drum soloz |
75% Studio
25% Live I listen to an acceptable (I guess) amount of live recordings, but Ive been needing to get into more shows and what not. Recently been getting a lot more off of archive.org so I'm hoping that'll help. |
i guess these days about 50/50, since i don't actively put on the albums anymore, and am often seeing live stuff from the "golden era" i'd never heard before
saying most of the studio stuff pre-zeitgeist sounds "stale & shitty" is pretty dumb tho |
The only thing stale and shitty around here are Tooks mom jokes.
|
Uh I switched to fathers like a month ago yo.
Get with the times bruh. |
it depends on the songs
Porcelina live for the outro 1979 only acoustic live bullet never after 97 oceania always album cherub rock more album...... |
hardly ever listen to anything in context these days. i tend to land on one specific song and listen to it (and little else) periodically over the course of several weeks. pumpkins examples from recent times include:
-ruby, eurockeennes 97 -in my body, album |
i like to be immersed for a good long while in whatever the particular aesthetic happens to be
|
dunno if this counts, but i will say thefutureembrace was a recent exception to the "no context" thing, possibly because it has a more cohesive sonic quality overall
the songs are mostly lifeless, but, spurred by a thread here, i got really into listening to the color and texture of the album last month |
the aeroplane flies high studio version is another recent example. it was suddenly much more commanding, bloodthirsty, and seductive to me than it had ever been before. no idea why. but it was awesome.
