Flagged for spreading lies, and thumbing it down for not giving it a 10. This is fucked up

[SirAllAboutMusic]

@ElsolraSaul This is by far the most amusing comment I've read all day. Thanks for making my day better! :)

man, i don't think that you really understand this album.

[SirAllAboutMusic]

@UKNOWIT88 Ok, it's all opinion anyway, so whatever.

what you call "filler" is what makes this album so unique. songs like We Only Come Out At Night, Cupid De Locke, Lily, and Galapagos are some of my favorite songs.

[SirAllAboutMusic]

@misterdirtyharry I never called Cupid de Locke or Galapagos filler. In fact I remember saying that the first CD is killer, it only gets bad at the second half of the second disc.

This music isn't meant to be "rigid" It is a trip. It goes from a span of a day. And listen to every 5 tracks as though it were a part of your day. Maybe then you'll hear the maturity it took out of Corgan to orchestrate an album so well. The sections the E.P. should break into are.

1.Dawn

2.Teatime

3.Dusk

4.Twilight

5.Midnight

6.Starlight

This album was one I actually felt. Due to the rigidness in it's life cycle playing front to back. With a narrative based on the labors of growing up. 9/10

I think "Thru the Eyes of Ruby" is a good song but many pumpkin fans hold it as their most cherished track.

[BoltertheSplitEnzwiz]

how can you not like By Starlight and X.Y.U??? D:

[ak47popper]

@basilicata92  no, please inform me....PLEASE

[basilicata92]

@ak47popper you just dont get it do you?

[ak47popper]

@basilicata92 so tell me, to an audiophile such as yourself, what do you hear in XYU that mere mortals like myself don't? 

[ak47popper]

@basilicata92 obviously

[basilicata92]

@ak47popper maybe to the untrained ear

[ak47popper]

@basilicata92 ? no, it's just 1 of about 3 really REALLY poor songs, and good job deleting your comment

[basilicata92]

@ak47popper how isnt it a good track? how isnt by starlight a good track? oh its 'immature' i guess luna was immature too right. get ur head out of SAAM's ass, popper head
