Dorian's cool. I've heard it a lot and it's one of my favorites on MTAE. It's weird the lyrics are so repetitive, but that's why it got stuck in me head. And that's a good thing. The vocals are good. Neat music.

and gave up on politics. I'm happier now.

Anyway, Special K can mean whatever to your imagination.

The fuck are you on about

How can a song with so little going on past the first 15 seconds have a thread this long? There isn't anything to discuss. Dorian Dorian Dorian dorian dorian dorian dorian

Don't get me started on the setting sun lyric. How could anyone write that and be satisfied with it

SpFission · 12-18-2014, 09:02 PM

You aren't listening then. You are blind to its excellence, but it's ok. You have a reputation to maintain.

Gotta agree with this

I would consider this song the best he's produced in the studio in more than a decade. So it's funny to see some people poo pooing it. To each his/her own

Elphenor · 12-18-2014, 09:27 PM

The melody sounds like something I would randomly sing to myself

Dorrrriiiiaan Dorrrriiiaaaahhhhnnnn

Dorian i s l i t e r a l l y t he be s t s o n g e v e r m a d e b y t h e Smashing Pumpkins it is better than anything on Siamese Dream or MCIS.

Billy supported Obama. You're on something...

I'm not interested in how it sounds, intellectualising or dissecting it - it FEELS like a pumpkins song. It has that ineffable thing to it that makes it inherently classic Corgan. The breathy 'Dorian's that come in at 3:10 are quintessential pumpkins.

Where did this come from? Has it even been performed live?

killtrocity · 12-29-2014, 09:52 PM

lyrics are trite but musically it's quite intricate

Modern90's · 12-29-2014, 09:57 PM

All that matters right now is the fucking machina release and wishing that DFN has an epic on it that is good

freshfacedyouth · 12-29-2014, 10:00 PM

or that, y'know, dfn is an all-around good album

The song goes nowhere and says nothing.

But I like the tom fill at 1:10, so I guess there's that.

bop :D
bop :D
bop bop bop :D

Funbags · 12-29-2014, 10:48 PM

Actually, just finished listening to it the whole way through.

This song sucks.

Araneae · 12-29-2014, 11:38 PM

It's not a bad song, musically it's pretty interesting. The repetition of the lyrics didn't bother me as much on this one at first but after a while it's starting to grate on me. It's still a decent song though.

Pumpkins fans really are the most hopeful and optimistic people. Let's unite and save the world.

At least the repetition keeps the cringe factor down. This and Tiberius I can really get into.

Run To Me · 02-27-2016, 03:09 AM

After careful consideration, I am bumping this thread

Because this song is fucking gorgeous. Somehow the wallpapering of empty repetition in the lyrics allows me to let bill loose of this one. Or the lyrics are inoffensive such that I can shut down my reaction to hearing bill's rough old voice, or trying to give shits re what bill could possibly be saying/feeling (or how he's trying to entertain me)

And I just hear cumcastles. Of glittering synth heavens and slowly swooning lil stabs of fuzz guitar that dissolve n ooze downward. Sly slithering arpeggios trading high fives before going up stairs or down stairs
