Default 'Perfect' Should've Been an Acoustic Track



This version, found here, and the demo on the reissue make me wish the track had just been a guitar-based final studio cut. I guess it could be said, and has been, that the album's strengths do not lie in its electronics, but I feel this song in particular shines most when the riff and lyrics are allowed to stand on their own.

Did it ever occur to you to use the word "and"?

Perhaps it may avail you look up the words "but" and "and".

Your welcome bitch.

the 'but' is to distance it from the previous sentiment, not add to it

The use of electronics has always been the weakest part of Adore. The best songs use little to no electronics, and even the drum machine programming is weak on those tracks.

i love the electronics on a door
charmingly simplistic or something, for the most part

and no i've never thought of changing the album-version of Adore, the one that's on there works really well - plus there's enough acoustic stuff on it as it is

I'm probably in the minority here, but it's one of my favourite songs off Adore. At least Perfect kind of has a chill vibe to it, it's not one of Billy's "in your face" electronic songs like Ava Adore or Pug (or Eye).

Though the sound quality is less than impressive, the version they played on Regis and Kathy Lee was pretty great as well (love James guitar parts).

Anyone have a better quality version of this kind of live arrangement?

songs that shold have been left off the album:
ava adore
daphne
tear
crestfallen
appels

songs that are okay the way they are:
sheila
annie
shame
behold
for martha
blank page

songs that actually work in the aesthetic the album tried to be
once upon a time
pug
dusty and pete

songs that should have been reworked:

Perhaps this is the most dynamic thing we have seen the Pumpkins do since Jimmy would come out and play guitar on 1979 or in the small clip during Mayonnaise in Vieuphoria where we see Billy playing drums and later he would play the timpani in 2008.
