nearly a decade of listening to this album nearly constantly I never thought much of "To Forgive" but it fucking kills me now. happened all of a sudden last fall, I remember the day. it opened up, or swallowed me in.
and funny how Billy's singing on "In the Arms of Sleep" is so hard to take seriously sometimes but then sometimes you're riding on every syllable and sibilance.

Track 6 is mislabeled as 'One Last Kiss Goodnight'. Track 10 is mislabeled as 'Skin Head Fag'. Track 11 is mislabeled as 'Disarm'. The liner contains an obviously modified photo of Billy with a swastika on his forehead, and a juvenile insult "Produced by the Bald-Headed Butt-Lover".

I am once again having fun toying with the sequencing of MCIS and its b-sides / outtakes. the songs I like to incorporate are the ones that don't feel like they have exact, existing analogues on the existing tracklist - "The Boy" and/or "Pennies" (way more relaxed and economical than usual), "Medelia" (always loved the slightly lo-fi production and piano sound), "...Said Sadly" (country duet vibes), "Transformer" (silly angst-free riffy rocker), "Set the Ray to Jerry" (basically its own genre), "Aeroplane Flies High" (OK, this one is a little redundant but it's also like one of their 10 or 20 best songs). I also like "Infinite Sadness" a lot though I guess it's technically SD-era.
"God" and "Ugly" and a few others are also good but they do feel like lesser counterparts to songs that are already in the mix

The bridge of “Beautiful” is a tight piece of business.

xp “Infinite Sadness” is the last track on the 3xLP version of MCIS!

what if Kurt Cobain sang "1979"
― Neanderthal, Friday, 11 September 2020 05:28 (three years ago) link
I never fully appreciated “1979” (beyond “good song”)—due to its ubiquity, my lack of interest in the Pumpkins by that point, etc.—but it’s really a home run on every level. I was “unexpectedly ambushed by emotion” this afternoon, when it came on as I listened to the album driving home on the freeway. (It’s funny how it’s randomly plopped on the album as track #57, or whatever.)

every single line of that song (except “Beneath the sound of hope”) is annotated in Genius dot com

I forgot! It's funny that it literally has "Siamese Outtake" tacked onto its Spotify title

this really does sample an awful lot of "1979"
― stylish but illegal (Simon H.), Saturday, 19 December 2020 23:16 (three years ago) link
i think it even samples the cover to the CD single
― Doctor Casino, Tuesday, 22 December 2020 22:27 (three years ago) link
so.... they're getting wasted and hanging around? man anybody who gave Puffy shit over his sampling should listen to this and then come back and think again imo
― Doctor Casino, Tuesday, 22 December 2020 22:28 (three years ago) link
lol imagine hearing this shit in like 1998 or something
― brimstead, Wednesday, 23 December 2020 02:07 (three years ago) link
That song really brought out the angry boomer in me, not so much because of the obvious Pumpkins sample as because of the 'Californication' line.
― pomenitul, Wednesday, 23 December 2020 02:14 (three years ago) link
if this were a one direction song i'd be so down
― mellon collie and the infinite bradness (BradNelson), Wednesday, 23 December 2020 15:36 (three years ago) link
it is nowhere near as good as a one direction song though
one direction sampling smashing pumkins would be the best dream ever.

I just fixed the CD player in my car - well got the penny out that my kid stuck in there - and busted this out after a long time and damn this is so well recorded. The drums absolutely thump
