It's still hard for me, 17 years later, to wrap my head around the fact that there's this whole other Pumpkins album past Machina I. What many of the poppier parts of Machines of God could have been: dreamy, shoegazed, alternative rock.
An underrated aspect of this song: Jimmy's drumming. Gives texture to the wall of sound. Whole thing builds to a nice crescendo.
The ZuZu's version shows that there's a real Pumpkins song underneath it all, too.
