Thirty Three is one of Billy's best songs in lyrical terms. It is an absolutely perfect poem - an extraordinary piece of work even without the accompanying melody. There are so many lines in this song that strike a chord. I know it was a single, but this song didn't get the respect it should have gotten - respect like Zero and 1979 and Bullet With Butterfly Wings all got. It might not be the catchiest, but lyrically it's the best off that album.
Great song. The tone of his voice sounds really nice. I didn't like the stop-start way his was delivering the vocals, though. Thirty-three needs not to be tampered with, Billy!
it's not good enough to get back together.. they have to be good.. no, GREAT, and wow, judging from these 2 videos they sound better than ever! bush is leaving office, the pumpkins are back together.. this is the first day in a long time i've felt "faith in humanity"
god, i know exactly what you mean.. i was always a huge fan, but his live voice always sounded so bad. i don't know what happened, but he sounds so much better now. the music sounds better too. maybe he just cares for the first time, or something.
Billy Corgan is all about the music, and he is the greatest of our time by far. We've carried the pumpkins withing ourselves for over a decade. To me its a treasure that makes me stronger and aware
unbelievable. he's billy like he's never been before. i didn't expect him to be able to conjure the energy and spirit of the Pumpkins again, but this new and fresh presentation of 33 is truly magical...

He does sound great live, especially compared to his more recent stuff. His voice is mixed terribly in the new recordings.
