guys, to me, i use to NAGG all day about how nowadays everything mainstream that went up on mtv or etc would SUCK , but now i live in a new world, where i dont look at whatever tv is on,on my car, the only radio stasion is indie and alternative rock, and youtube is just indie ! live life and focus on whats amazing :DD
I believe they're both vehemently underrated, considering what they deserve.
Nirvana gets attention and recognition, sure, but only really because of the conspiracy surrounding Kurt's death and the repeats of "Smells Like Teen Spirit" and "Come As You Are" on radio stations and so on. Kids these days think they're cool to like 90's bands, they don't actually like the music or even understand it, they listen to it to produce an image to their peers, for the most part.
Far as I'm concerned if you didn't see the OJ verdict live on tv or don't know what rebook pumps are then you're obsession with the 90's is just a fad. They see acts like Lady Gaga, Lil Wayne and Nickleback and they'll throw on some Alice in Chains or Nirvana in order to fit in with their black nail polish and mascara wearing, blue haired friends. But ask them to name a Liz Phair or a Everclear song and you'll get a blank stare.
I've met people that claim to be huge Nirvana fans, but then I mention a few slightly obscure songs and they have absolutely no idea, then they say, "Oh, well, I've only really heard Nevermind", this is the case with so many "fans", people claim to be something that they're not, that is the society, the world we live in today. Most people are fake, they conjure up an idea and after a while, start believing their own egotistical bullshit.
not sure why people get offended by the pumpkins comparison but if you've ever listened to the two bands, its an OBVIOUS one and this songs as good as anything on gish
In this song Silversun Pickups sound like a hybrid of Nirvana + Smashing Pumpkins. But let's not get ahead of our selfs and say that they are the Nirvana or Smashing Pumpkins of today, they are an amazing band but will never be able to have the same impact either of those bands had on our society as Nirvana or Smashing Pumpkins did.
For those who say that these guys are not the new Pumpkins... Lazy Eye is "1979" & "Drown" combined. This song (currently playing) could have easily been on Twilight to Starlight. "Royal We" is a Siamese Dream song.
The lyrics, music style, and the fact that they don't sound like anyone else today puts them in that category. Nobody says that they sound the exactly same, but they are both kind of breakthroughs. In 1996 nobody sounded like "Tonight, Tonight" nobody now sounds like SSPU's today.
Frankly this band is not from our planet earth. They actually came here from a planet where a silver suns abound and pick you up into the heights to explore the 'go inbetweens'. I still stick to the fact that they are aliens. Humans aren't able to create this beauty. Maybe they're angels in disguise.
smashing pumpkins is a good band, but I don't think they should be compared to Silversun Pickups. They sound similar on a cursory listen, but really they are totally different. I happen to like SSPU much better, but that is just my opinion. Smashing pumpkins kindof lost their way after their first few albums. SSPU is still churning out awesome music.
Bendrix.....you really don´t know what you are talking about..... same musics of this band sounds like smashing pumpkins , but really... this is shit if you compare to smashing...
And please ...if you understand a bit of music and the art that cames from music ...you will never talk about billy corgan like that...
P.S. i m not saying that silversun pickups are bad because i like some of their musics -...but you can´t compare to smashing pumpkins level
Corgan is a dick. He should have killed himself. The pumpkins can't be compared to sspu because sspe are above. I like the pumpkins, but they're not that good.
Over the top? Not at all, if anything, I expressed a lot less anger than I was planning to. If you were offended by the Billy Corgan comment, then wake the fu*k up and do some research on that band you love so much, Corgan is among the biggest pieces of dog shit to hit it big in the music industry, but hey, the crap bands seem to get the most attention, so I expect nothing more. Put it this way, Smashing Pumpkins makes me want to kill and die, Silversun Pickups makes me want to heal and live.
You're honestly trying to compare this band to all that other crap? Smashing Pumpkins? I know it's all opinion, but besides the fact that Billy Corgan is an absolute fu*kwit, he also has a voice like a wild cat being strangled and raped at the same time.
The only really remaining talent or passion in music nowadays resides in the music of The Silversun Pickups, Incubus and Tool, almost all other bands even relatively worth listening to a single note of are broken up or long dead.
The only band mentioned so far here that deserves to have their name put in the same sentence as Silversun Pickups is Nirvana, I know if Kurt was still around today, he would love this band, they are, in a way, this generations Nirvana, if only they were getting more attention, but majority of our pathetic society listens to music that matches their own uselessness.
i dont get why people think that one band is the greatest and the only band that matters. dont get me wrong, i LOVE Silversun Pickups, and i really do think that they're the greatest band ever, but im not ganna go around bragging about it, and saying that everyone els is "useless". everyone has there different opinions about things. the world would be a boring place if all bands were like the Silversun Pickups. im just sayin. so don't sound so closed minded about music.
yeah SSPU is this generations nirvana cept the lead singer isn't a self absorbed jackass drug addicted whiner who constantly complained about being famous (all the while doing photo shoots for magazines and interviews on mtv.)
You ever tried finding facts, instead of swallowing media contrived bullshit. It's conjecture, kid, do a little research, you will find that your opinion is severely misinformed.
Who the fuck are you calling kid you stupid son of a bitch? It's a known fact that Kurt Cobain didn't want certain fans listening to his music, was a heroine addict, hated the fact that he was famous, and the whole attitude of "i'm not doing this for the money I'm doing it for the love of the music" started with this egotistical douche bag. If he didn't want to be famous he should've stayed his junky ass off stage and off MTV.
@bideomanlol thats your opinion and i respect it, i like both nirvana and foo fighters, you say nirvana was repetitive but that was the point. in literature tere is something called alliteration. the repitition of two or more words to make those words really stand out and have purpose. nirvana wasnt repetitive they were driving that sound into you, its a pop music tactic, " repitition = people remember" combine that with kurts metal and punk inspired style and you have the new jesus :)
@Bendrix27 Damn right!!!! I just bumped into this band today and dig em right away!!! their sound have that 90's kick ass alternative rock feel that I love!!! cheers!!!
Being the Fantastic Black man I am..They are the only thing i listen to while driving and etc, and i always get shyt for it but honestly i feel they are the future of music and I feel sorry for people who dont see that., Cant get enough , and caNNNOOTTT wait for their next album!!
@Bendrix27 I agree completely, but I would just like to state they're more of the later Nirvana than the earlier. Nirvana's early stuff was supposed to be simple, whereas Silversun is pretty damn layered and complex with effects and such.
I'd love to see Silver Sun on tour with the Kings of Leon. Both of these bands are paving the way for a new sound that has yet to be fully appreciated fully by the masses...
This band sounds nothing like Staind or A Perfect Circle. Broaden your musical horizons and you may find much more talented and worthy bands to reference. At the very least Silversun Pickups has much more in common with Smashing Pumpkins than any other mainstream radio band.
lol if you can't extract the similiarities you're just a little off man...I'll agree with the fact that thee are some better bands but Silversun being on the pumpkins level is kind of a joke..
This song has been stuck in my head for hours, but I can't get tired of it:) I'm a bit of an insomniac and this is how I feel when the whole world is sleeping around me, lonesome and peaceful...."I've been to the moon and the stars and the go in betweens"....You know that color purple right after the sun sets? That's what this song would be if it were a color:)
Is anyone hearing the weird subtle differences between this recording and the one on the cd? In this one the snare drum and the vocals are loud, the guitars are quiet and there are no synths at all. It sounds like an unfinished version that hasn't had the levels worked out yet lol.
This is my favorite song by SSPU. It conjurs up so much imagery; driving at night in the desert. Lonely, desolate, but haunting and beautiful; the lyrics are like a cryptic lullaby which somehow is really soothing...
Awesome song, awesome EP, awesome band. No other band like 'em. Very unique sound and lyrics. And like most technically sound bands, they get very little commercial exposure. And that's just fine by me. Rock on.
actually i thought they were kinda blowing up now. they headline alot of festivals and stuff, seen em on rotation on mtv. hopefully they dont sell out!
you're probably right. I wouldn't know, Lazy eye and Well thought out twinkles were the only songs I'd heard by them a couple years ago. Haven't listened to the radio or watched much TV since then. But yeah, hopefully they will remain...pure? Ugh, that didn;t make me sound like some kind of music elitist did it?
I think it's a metaphor for humanity. In this age of reason and technology, we think we know it all. "Son," he said "Son, how you've only begun, on the mile, on the mile, on the mile..." We ain't seen nothin' yet.
after reading some of these comment i think everyone gets the idea that they sound A BIT like billy corgan and pink floyd. these guys are like the chillest band to listen to stoned...
Yes i Gree remuhniscent is thay arr of Pumpkins but i think they sound original as well I love their Feeling this is just chillin Music I lova all of Pikul! Pikul is Awesome : ) :) "Grown old it seemS.." ;) ;)
This is possibly my favorite song by SSP. I would love to wake up to this song every morning. The only other song I would do that for would be Everything in its Place by Radiohead on Kid A.
I think they are good new band but not in the level of pink floyd. u wanna compare a band with pink floyd ok, compare it to radiohead, that is a great kick ass 20 year old band who is still great just like Pink floyd
they sound like a mix of a bunch of stuff like oh i dunno sonic youth with my bloody valentine and possibley a small bit of the pumpkins. good music tho
definitely my bloody valentine, and somewhat sp, i don't really hear pink floyd though, the spaceyness is there but it's.. different i guess., idk really
Pink Floyd had concept albums. They're entire album was "one song"-symphony and each song was a chapter or movement. These guys have great singles but not concept albums.
Not to my ears. I think Tool goes in that spot. Don't like em' but they are like the generation X's Floyd. Except without the amazing as shit guitar solos.
if anything these guys remind me of the smashing pumpkins. and yeah tool is like a mixture of a modern day pink floyd and led zepp. they might not have the those catchy solos, but they have their own sound and awesome lyrics. great band
i agree. u just name some of my favorite bands, and i do think they all have something in comin, but i dont think its the sound. i believe they all just make good music. I've given up on trying 2 label things. i find it kinda takes the magic away.
yeah, but another thing that reminds me of them is how much gain they use. I mean there's so much distortion in the majority of their songs, just like the pumpkins. also, the female bassist and stuff, but regardless, they're an awesome band.
have u ever listened to siamese dream! check it out and u might change ur mind! i dont know too much about sp, but this song reminds me of that album!
Awesome band, and this song is amazing, man do I have a crush on the bass player!!

Reminds me of Smashing Pumpkins. This is what Smashing Pumpkins would be if they didn't make bad music... after Machina, they went downhill.

I think it's a metaphor for humanity. In this age of reason and technology, we think we know it all. "Son," he said "Son, how you've only begun, on the mile, on the mile, on the mile..." We ain't seen nothin' yet.

Maybe "The Pixies"
StompOnMyLiver98 2 years ago
I always thought this song sounded a lot like Gish-era Smashing Pumpkins.
I agree with the guy who suggested The Pixies.

This is possibly my favorite song by SSP. I would love to wake up to this song every morning. The only other song I would do that for would be Everything in its Place by Radiohead on Kid A.

Love this song. BTW, dude, they took my video down. I'm gonna post it back up in a month or so.
kciNJNadon 3 years ago
there is a long path between PF and SSP.
I think they are good new band but not in the level of pink floyd. u wanna compare a band with pink floyd ok, compare it to radiohead, that is a great kick ass 20 year old band who is still great just like Pink floyd
ebplanetario 3 years ago
they sound like a mix of a bunch of stuff like oh i dunno sonic youth with my bloody valentine and possibley a small bit of the pumpkins. good music tho

One of my favourite songs ever. They're amazing, they really really are. Thank you for the music :]]

Pink Floyd had concept albums. They're entire album was "one song"-symphony and each song was a chapter or movement. These guys have great singles but not concept albums.
broha113 3 years ago
hey do these guys seem like the modern pink floyd?
midgetmike64 3 years ago
Not to my ears. I think Tool goes in that spot. Don't like em' but they are like the generation X's Floyd. Except without the amazing as shit guitar solos.
Blackmofasa92 3 years ago
tool...yea i think u might be right...tools alright but eh not for me. pink floyid... asome.
midgetmike64 3 years ago
if anything these guys remind me of the smashing pumpkins. and yeah tool is like a mixture of a modern day pink floyd and led zepp. they might not have the those catchy solos, but they have their own sound and awesome lyrics. great band
zigazah 3 years ago
i agree. u just name some of my favorite bands, and i do think they all have something in comin, but i dont think its the sound. i believe they all just make good music. I've given up on trying 2 label things. i find it kinda takes the magic away.
omixzoplex 3 years ago
smashing pumkins? na i ont so..maybe the voice but thats it.
midgetmike64 3 years ago
yeah, but another thing that reminds me of them is how much gain they use. I mean there's so much distortion in the majority of their songs, just like the pumpkins. also, the female bassist and stuff, but regardless, they're an awesome band.
zigazah 3 years ago
have u ever listened to siamese dream! check it out and u might change ur mind! i dont know too much about sp, but this song reminds me of that album!

im sorry, i dont think that comparison gives these guys justice, just because hes got a billy corganish voice... i really just dont see it
ThisMachineIsFascist 3 years ago 2
i wouldnt make that comparison because of Brian's voice, but rather the guitar distortion and laid back nature of their songs
