I mean, think about MSOTS and tell me which tracks on it are worse than Widow.
Probably "Yeah" and that's about it. Oh shit, here's my brilliant summary from the O-board: Billy has always worked best with a gun against his head, now that he's got the gun, we're all held hostage. |

Having never visited there in my life, I'm going to guess... they fucking love it. I imagine every person there as being Monte.

Take Me Down is fine for what it is. This song has nothing of worth in it. At all.

The drumming sounds like it was done by a one armed monkey.
I can't imagine billy even listened to this fucking thing before he released it. It is so amateurish it's sad. |

If I remember correctly, many ppl picked up Widow for their fav/good/okay song in the SITS live thread in here, and they don't like studio version. Is this the same thing happened when MSOTS released? I was a bit sad with MSOTS because I felt that passionate rock sound of live version were gone and all turned into pop songs. I'm wondering for Gish, SD, MCIS, Adore... same reaction was raised from fans? So, while reading this thread, I have some dry laugh for that some of you say MSOTS is better than this song. I know what you mean. The reason I laugh is we sounds like we almost give up TSP like Billy does us, or our a passing grade for the quality of TSP song has been getting lower than before?

I agree with jesus cambodia that GLOW, like a black hole, has a magnitude of suck that cannot be exceeded, but this song is pretty close.

I dunno, I'm enjoying it. it's no rock-by-the-numbers like I felt a few of the other recent releases were. There's a bit of imagination to this, a bit of invention. I like the mid-8. I kinda like the intro. It's kooky. :S
But so much of it is just total rubbish, the drums, the lyrics, the ascending bits, the lyrics, the fucking lyrics and the lyrics. But when I think about it. What I like about this song has nothing to do with what an SP song should be. this is just vapid and soulless. No passion to it at all, and that's a defining characteristic of SP to me, there's always passion. I am full of meh |

I'm going to go listen to Adore now, for a week.

in addition to the hilariously bad part from 1:49 - 1:55 others have rightly pointed out, the fill at 1:06 almost made me spit out my water it's so hilarious

Hmm this is the first time I stopped listening half-way through a new Pumpkins song :/
I can see why he's not charging anything for this. It could do well at the Eurovision Song Contest though: YouTube - The Toppers - Shine (The Netherlands) |

There's a lot of serious over-reaction going on here. The oh's worked way better as a live sing-along, and even then I could take a pass on it. There are some real cringeworthy moments in the song, like the ascending bit, obviously, but it's not the end of the world. The drums are fine, and they don't need to be anything spectacular for a song like this. For those who seem absolutely certain that this worst song Billy has ever made, you're embarrassing yourselves with such obvious knee-jerk reaction to your disappointment. Wait a year and read this thread again.
I'm mildly disappointed, but I wasn't impressed by this song live, and didn't think it would get any better in the studio. And I don't think it did. But you know what, I like the production, I like the arrangement. I'm kinda digging the sound Billy is creating with the retro synth. Very Kaleidyscopey. I love it! Probably because it reminds me of video game I played 20 years ago (I don't know what, but it's just very familiar). |

Hmm I don't know... it's a pop song, produced as a pop song. The problem is I was expecting to hear guitar-driven rock music, so it's hard to fill my expectations. I've been listening a lot to the Dinosaur Jr. reunion albums lately and really I have to say compared to that stuff it's probably impossible to impress me at the moment.
