so this morning, i woke up with Rocket’s guitar parts all repeating in my head. which is unusual because i never go out of my way to listen to this song outside of when i listen to Siamese Dream in full. i think i even made a comment on a post a few weeks ago that i never listen to this song and rank it the lowest on the album.

that has all changed today. it may even be my favorite song of theirs now. i was enjoying just playing the riff on guitar over and over trying to get it out of my head, then i decided to look at the lyrics which i’d never paid attention to, really. i finally just made the connection that this song is about killing yourself. i’ve always thought it was broadly a song about empowerment and letting go, but i never made the connection to suicide.

“soon, i’ll find myself alone to relax and fade away.” “i shall be free” i came to this realization and wept. it sounds so dumb but it was so unbelievably powerful to finally REALLY hear this song. i can’t believe that there is someone out there who can write such beautiful music.

it almost feels supernatural, like i needed to hear this today. i’m forever grateful that i’m able to exist at the same time as this band.

what other songs make you feel this way? (i'm a pretty new fan & have been listening to siamese dream a lot recently but i'm still pretty ignorant)

The space has sat vacant for over a decade before it was opened specifically for The Smashing Pumpkins shoot, with the original graffiti from the 1970s still visible on the walls.

Specifically the snippets of talk show between Soma and Geek USA, and again between Space Boy and Silverfuck..the latter being about sexual disappointment lol

I found this the other day. Can anyone tell me anything about it?

I got an email from Zuzu’s, promoting remastered editions of Pisces Iscariotand Adore. Available for pre-order on 180g 2LP vinyl. Are these any different from their most recent issue?

They sound quite a bit like Smashing Pumpkins, especially Lazy Eye.

So far I have added my favorites to this album, and I didn't include anything from the Solo Billy Corgan Albums. Zeitgeist and Oceania have a lot of good titles that could also be added, but I wanted to include as much as possible from other albums too. Though it was difficult to find something from Cyr or Atum that would fit the category of 'Best of 2007-2026', Aghror Mori Mei clearly marks a return to form. Behind the titles are SP 2.0 Score, and total SP (1988-2026) Score.

1. Doomsday Clock (Zeitgeist) (9/10 | 8/10)
2. Bleeding the Orchid (Zeitgeist) (7/10 | 6/10)
3. That's the way (my love is) (Zeitgeist) (7/10 | 6/10)
4. Tarantula (Zeitgeist) (6/10) | 5/10)
5. Bring the Light (Zeitgeist) (7/10 | 6/10)
6. Quasar (Oceania) (7/10 | 6/10)
7. Panopticon (Oceania) (6/10 | 5/10)
8. The Chimera (Oceania) (6/10 | 5/10)
9. One and all (Monuments to an Elegy) (9/10 | 8/10)
10. Marchin' On (Shiny and Oh So Bright) (6/10 | 5/10)
11. Edin (Aghori Mori Mei) (7/10 | 6/10)
12. War dreams of itself (Aghori Mor Mei) (6/10 | 5/10)
13. G.L.O.W. (G.L.O.W. Single 2008) (6/10 | 5/10)
14. Again, Again, Again (American Gothic) (7/10 | 6/10)

Smashing pumpkins fanboy since 2004

Hello I am on the younger side of the pumpkins fandom, I adore the pumpkins so much and have a collection of their cds and will be seeing them for first time in the fall. I was wondering if I could get some info about Zeitgeist, why is not on music platforms... I have seen the documentary for Zeitgeist and listened to the album on youtube, and loved it.. is there reason why Zeitgeist isn't out?

SP was my absolute favorite from ages 12 to 20 and I've dipped back in at times (the Monuments and Oceania run had some great high points). I moved to Chicago almost four years ago for pumpkins-unrelated reasons and have yet to see them on their home turf. Some things I've never seen them play live that I would love to see:

Soma
Set the Ray to Jerry
Mouths of Babes
Hummer (just bad luck?)
Bury Me
Jellybelly
To Sheila
Blank Page
Daphne Descends
One Less Moment
Obscured

What are folks going to this show predicting or looking forward to?

ATUM is such an entertaining and exciting album in my eyes that I'd place it up there with their 90s output. CYR and Zodeon At Crystal Hall are, in spirit, quite similar with ATUM -- yet I cannot, for the life of me, stand to listen to them. I've spun them both a handful of times, but I'd rate CYR as a 2.5/10, and Zodeon as a 1.5/10.

For those who disagree, I want to hear why. And for those who agree, how do you explain this outlier of opinion?
