Smashing Pumpkins- Pisces Iscariot Review

[dubified89]

Pisces Iscariot is a fucking masterpiece

[dubified89]

Dude calm down

[StereoSoundAgent]

solid review

 totally agree:D

love 90s psychedelic feel of the pumpkins.

[SPoceania]

asshole video

[TribalLeprechaun]

Wish you were here poster in the background :)

[derekdamned1]

This guy still looks like a fish btw fuck you!

[sssnakelover]

I don't understand why people are so f*cking RUDE on here. Sorry for the stupid ass comments from ignorant others. I appreciated your review. Pumpkins were just about all I listened to in high school (I'm 34 now). Gish r/l in 10th grade (I think), then Siamese Dream 11th, followed by Pisces Iscariot senior year, didn't care for Mellon Collie when I was 18 (w/ the exception of 33...AMAZING video too)..then Adore the year I turned 21!!! SP was a big part of my early years so thanx! :)

[ak47popper]

@sssnakelover yeah especially when it comes to the pumpkins the fan boys are so defensive :/

[dubified89]

@ak47popper Fan boys = people who like good music

[ak47popper]

@dubified89 no, = people who blindly support something no matter the merits/shortcomings...basicall­y a sheep

[oatstao]

I can listen to this album and have, more so than any other Pumpkins output. And i have heard alll Pumpkins and not a fanboy. just a collector, musician, and artist. You call this fringe songs, but that's maybe why it's in this package because the record label that dictates made it so. DOn't follow the horse to the watering hole unless you know there's water there. and what exactly is "your guyses"?? are you Canadian? I've never seen such a hyper stoner.

[ngrockyjocky]

What'd you think of Pissant? I find that it's one of the better songs. Real energetic, in my opinion. Just makes me want to wreck stuff.

[Radiohead17321]

What do you think of The Aeroplane Flies High? Great review and keep them coming!

[radiohead1993111]

SirDouchebag? im sorry but that sounds like something a firstgrader that are trying to be cool would say please I wish if people on youtube were going to open their mouths and speak their opinions I wish they would do it respectfully without insulting people with stupid insults They use insults so much that they tend to lose the point they were trying to make in the first place anyway if your going to voice your opinion pull your head out of your ass first so we can hear what your saying

[GreenDayDookieDemos]

1 thing, just 1, that I love about Spaced is I can barely make out what the lyrics are.

[neonspec]

You heard it here first folks! Starla has these little "Nyew Nyau rau Nyau Nyau" things going on behind it!

Just kidding :P

AWESOME song.

[HeartYukitty]

Ι seriously have a lesbian friend who could be your twin sister.Your faces are I.D.E.N.T.I.C.A.L

[derekdamned1]

haha whatever bro your videos are boring............

[derekdamned1]

Well all I got to say is I thought the album was amazing and for you to try to chop it up and analyze it well first of all do you play any instrument at all or sing cause I myself play guitar and I can make up some interesting stuff but am I anywhere near Billy Corgan?........no..... so unless your even in a band shut the fuck up cause you have no right to talk about someone elses art.............

[SirAllAboutMusic]

@derekdamned1 First of all, I do play guitar, and I am in a band. Second of all, no piece of art is perfect, every piece of art deserves to be critiqued and if you're going to be some sappy fanboy that jerks off to everything that Billy Corgan releases, be a dear, and try not to get the pages of the insert stuck together. Don't tell me what I don't have a right to do, I have every right in the world to evaluate Billy's stuff, just like everyone else.

[rssbrry]

@SirAllAboutMusic I got this cd used a while back and when i looked at the insert the pages were stuck together...xD and I like your reviews

[The666thBowelOfHell]

@derekdamned1 So opinions are non-existant?? and you don't have to be in a band to have an opinion, fuckin billy corgan fanboy

[TheSOTSOG]

Sir, nice review :) I enjoyed the album but I think the B-Sides compilation that was included as part of their best of is an improved collection of orphaned songs. Check it out.

[WasBMOC]

it wont let me get past 2:09 -_-

lets try this... 2:14

[SirAllAboutMusic]

@Hoppus217 Nice.

[ultramegaunknown]

Dude, I gotta check this album.

I have Gish through Mellon Collie.... and I love B-sides!!!

I have a feeling I'll love it.

[Oliverware21]

I LOVE YOUR REVIEWS!

[shittybullshit]

you should do a Judas O review

[vonchina]

la puta, AWESOME REVIEW!

[Crust218]

This was my most-beloved album in high school and college. It's one of my personal favorites. The album can be listened to from beginning to end without stopping. Each and every song is fantastic. If you like the Pumpkins, you MUST HAVE this album.

[ProbableFiction]

I've always been partial to 'Frail & Bedazzled' and 'La Dolly Vita.' Man, 'Whir' is fucking great!

The worst song is easily 'Blew Away.' Another snoozefest from Iha.

Regarding Fleetwood Mac, check out the original lineup when the band was a blues setup. The incredibly epic and sadly forgotten Peter Green formed and led the group. Stellar stuff.

[SuperJElliott]

Simply a spacy type album! :)

[SiameseDream4321]

love plume and blue away

[kyotoair]

really hard to pick favorites on this album..

hmmmm... let's see..

my top 3 must be: Whir, hello kitty kat and starla.

but again, all songs are great!

on a scale from 1 to 10, I'll give Pisces Iscariot a solid 9/10.

[MEpianist]

Hmm, Whir is my favorite, but thanks for the great review.

[zachpygott]

HAHAHAH wow i love spaced aswell and starla im 16 i wish my friends would listen to this album or other pumpkins songs but lots are just into whats on the shitty radio haha but im in england so its all just lame poppy shit (on the radio) and ooh la dolly vita is my fav (Y) also nirvana rule thanks good video

[fletcheyboi]

Good review I'm a massive pumpkins fan but for some reason i've never gotten round to getting this album so i'll be sure to pick it up soon :)

[SirAllAboutMusic]

Def get it, it's a great insight into some of the Pumpkins fringe songs that never quite made it onto the albums. Thanks for the comment!

[aaronp01]

@fletcheyboi some of the best pumpkins songs are b-sides (starla, blue, set the ray to jerry, etc)

[Reno9824]

Whats the name of the song at the beggining?

[SirAllAboutMusic]

Frail And Bedazzled. Do you have Pisces Iscariot?

[Reno9824]

Nope , but I want it. You can't buy it in stores anymore.. Only online. Sure you can only buy Gish to Mellon Collie where I'm from..

[jadedandwhirred]

Spaced is my fav. then Starla. i wish spaced lasted more.. wait it does.. its my life.

[SirAllAboutMusic]

Same here

[lrrlrr]

i feel the band had a certain "hunger"***

[lrrlrr]

I feel the band a a certain "hunger" that was not fealt at all on Mellon and later releases

[lrrlrr]

No, I think SP blew thier load on Lull, Gish and Siamese Dream. That is just an opinion of a fan from the days of when Gish was released in 91. I do have to say you were spot on with Starla

[SirAllAboutMusic]

I can def see why you'd say that. And I gotta say, those early albums are y far my favorites.

[lrrlrr]

their last good release

[SirAllAboutMusic]

You didn't like Mellon Collie?

[BloodyRose3000]

LOL I just realised that you did them all, good stuff :).

[SirAllAboutMusic]

haha hell yeah!! Great discography, only a few hiccups here and there in general.

[irishbull777]

heh I thought I was the only one that really liked Spaced

[SirAllAboutMusic]

You are not alone sir!

[dpowanator]

what do you think of the smashing pumpkins new song? im not that crazy about it

[dpowanator]

nevermind

[SirAllAboutMusic]

I didn't really dig it all that much. I know I was gonna keep it for a review, but honestly, it sucked pretty bad.

[dpowanator]

yea i agree, i wanna know when billy corgan started trying not to be billy corgan!

[Gamagachee]

He started not being like he was in Machina, he said that in this one interview

[pukeonmyshoe2130]

thats a good idea to a Q & A video man , its just that i cant rly think of any questions for you, lol, if one comes to me at some point ill put it on that vid tho

[ACrackInTheWall2006]

I always loved Pisces. Really great stuff on here. That would actualy be funny if you reviewed 1 song at a time from the Teargarden album. It would be like 7 minute videos talking about 1 song LOL

[SirAllAboutMusic]

LOL I'm not sure I want to waste that much of my time.

[seekah1]

I challenge ANYONE to deny the beauty of Starla, fuck you Sir, I cannot disagree with you much on these guys, lol. An insane collection of quality Bs. Its a 4/5 rating for me, I'm guessing you'd give it the same?

[SirAllAboutMusic]

Cake. My long time friend. I've been a fan of Cake ever since I seriously started getting into music.

[SuperMario16bit]

Fucking great "album". I knew you would gush over Starla, that song is a literal orgasm. I like Spaced, but it never did much for me.

In terms of b-sides albums, Modest Mouse's Building Nothing Out Of Something to me is a complete album, nothing topples that.

P.S. If you haven't heard the new SP song, I uploaded it. CHEAP PLUG

[Alex703rockstar]

I love B-Sides albums, makes me seem like a true fan lol. But you can't listen to them in the same mindset as you would an album.

Nirvana's Incesticide is an exception though, I would put that up against any of their main albums, and Aneurysm is IMO the greatest song they ever recorded.

[SirAllAboutMusic]

Dood, totally with you an Aneurysm.

[pukeonmyshoe2130]

dude i agree, incesticide is a good album, but the best song on it to me is areo zeppelin, that song is so epic man, wen i hear it i can fuckin feel how intence of a jam it is for them to play, Aneurysm is good and all but im so fuckin sick of it
