Magdalena
Is this the best SP5 song?
Or is this the best SP song since 2000? |

It’s a good song, nothing more.

still hold firmly to my theory that corgo realized it was a good one about halfway through the recording, and decided this particular heel-playing episode would be omitting any sort of bass track
hurray! huzzah! ropey lopey! good song tho |

Was wondering if someone would make this thread. Easily top 5 post 2000. I’d wager maybe the best even.

It's in the top grouping. It's hard to pin down a definitive best, really. Nothing stands out as incredible. Magdalena is equal to about 5-7 others for me.

I think Silvery Sometimes beats out Magdalena, though

This song is Actually Good and is easily the best, most-Pumpkiny song put out under the Pumpkins name in the past 15 years.

I would pay up to $10 of for the 7" with this, the First Good SP Song in the 21st Century, and Simmitar.
Then I can investigate the truth of the bass situation. $10 Sad Machines!! 10 big ones. Think about it. PM me |

I did a quick master of Magdelena and Automaton, just to give them more presence a bit more bottom end. They sound nice, takes away that small mono sound and opens it out a bit.
Magdelena: https://voca.ro/11P9dQqJ0snr Automaton: https://voca.ro/16y2LjIMbUpQ I might do the whole thing for my own listening pleasure. Last edited by eviltimeban : 05-16-2023 at 05:58 AM. |

i couldn't hear the bass in simmatar for a while but then i started to be able to kinda make it out. definitely a lack of bass presence across zodeon but it can be made out sometimes, sounds like he's generally playing on the higher strings doing kinda more melodic stuff than doing any low-end stuff.

Bass on vinyl masters is always lower, so when you rip it and listen to a digital file, it'll seem like it's not there. I managed to bring it up a bit on the master above.

Fully agree. Completely maddening, a little hint to show it can be done still before the next quadruple album of 1930's inspired jazz Corgan classics

this is true with the Podcast version of simmitar though, so it's the mix in general. if what you're saying is the case though it sounds like an issue with bad turntable or interface / gear. i'm still waiting for a lossless rip before i do any remastering work on it myself. i can't listen to this version without fecking focusing on the mp3 wateriness so it's helping me avoid wearing it thin haha

Magdalena is great, Machina II vibes, Zwan on a roll, no Jeff in sight which is always a good thing etc...
But he decided to relegate it to a fucking 7” on the back of a limited-ed box so don't delude yourself, the ship sank, we're in SP hell |

By what he's said it seems like there is definitely a plan to finish the album. Y'know, just like all that other stuff he said he'd finish... But seriously though he must see the merit in these songs? I do expect to at least see some sort of digital release in the future

He did see the "merit" in those other songs so no, he hasn't got a fuckin clue imo.
His idea of finishing a song these days is a wall of Casio synths ffs |

It’s the best thing I’ve done in years and it’s just sitting there on a shelf, in ZuZu’s, and you can’t afford it.

When you've dropped $250 to $500 on the Atum vinyl set, of course you're gonna believe it sounds better.

I'm getting a bit of a Zeitgeist b-sides feel (Stellar, Ma Belle), which is to say, one of the best Pumpkins songs of the last 15 years. |

I agree that Automaton is another one of the good ones. Saffon sounds like he was listening to Oh Yoko!
