It's the same 8 or 9 people saying it sucks over and over again. Most people here do not think it sucks...I believe there was a poll on this.

Luke de Spa means a more fan-friendly song that would do worse on the charts.

i heard that if you drop a tarantula from a high distance it shatters when it hits the ground because of its body structure. someone find out if this is true. if its true, then obviously tarantulas are awesome. |

this song would be no less "chart friendly" with a more coherent structure and non-retarded lyrics |

Most rocking SP song since MCIS. Blew my head off last night at the Chicago listening party. LOL at it sucking. Please give me your extra Fillmore tix, thanks.

I mean, it's lyrically vacant. It doesn't really have a memorable or signature guitar riff. It doesn't have much of a vocal hook. Yet I still quite like it, mainly because it's a little schizophrenic and frantic, yet keeps a certain flow, imo. I guess i'd compare it to something like Siva. Now Siva is of course a much much better song. But it's also quite unnecessarily noodly and it also jumps from one idea to another to another. It pulls all this off much better, but despite that I feel the fact that we've all heard that song a million times helps, too. If Tarantula had been more straight-forward and "coherent" it would lose the only character it has. It's not an AMAZING song, but it's a fun, odd little ditty. And it serves its purpose. |

Some strange descriptions on this thread. Tarantula is not by any means a "ditty", ha. Ditties do not crush you into dust (i.e. Jimmy's drumming the the wailingly beautiful guitar solo).
Also the structure was awesome. I LOVE how it quiets down and then comes back unrelenting. |

I was using the term "ditty" very loosely. Not really meant to be taken literally.
That aside...despite liking the song, nothing has yet been crushed into dust over here. I don't know, I guess i'm just more immune to being crushed into dust than most other people are. Maybe it's my diet or something. |

This song was intended to be a comeback single. I have no doubt in my mind that this is what BC had in mind when he wrote it. Maybe he jammed a few too many ideas in there just for the sake of reminding people that "hey the Pumpkins were cool and dynamic, remember?!" But like I said before, it gives the song some much-needed character. I'd hate to hear a more straight-forward version of the song. Just imagine taking the verse and the chorus and just repeating those a couple times and sticking one of the bridges in there somewhere. Whatever you think of the song, that would be FAR worse. |

Tarantula sucks because of its terrible chorus melody, incredibly irritating backup vocals and masturbatory guitar solos that seem to go nowhere instead of enhancing the song like previous SP solos (e.g. Soma, Geek USA). I like the rest of the new material though.
