Not sure how I feel about this song. Still think that 'Real Love' and 'untitled' were better. Depends how it sounds on a Real Stereo...

[Relaxer]

Chamberlain is the best part of the song. His drumming is great, and I must say, I've always liked BC's guitar sound. Nothing else about the song stands out to me.

The :30 clip that leaked made me go ugh but this is much better. Can't wait for a CD-rip as opposed to the radio rip; I think they guitar will be alot more defined.

Agreed.  I love the guitar tones right now, and I imagine the real version sounds WAY more crisp.  Pretty excited for this now.

...too bad the cover art looks GAY

[bearman🐻]

On first listen, not a bad song.

[Driveway]

I think it is ok, but I'm not floored by it.  The vocals aren't Billy's best.  It has a big sound though and I like the guitar solo sound.  We'll see how the album compares.  I still can't wait for V-Fest.  They should bring the 'residency' to Washington.

[HoyaSaxa03]

it has a Queens of the Stone Age vibe going on, didn't really grab me

[manimtired]

boring

[Darth Ed]

Vocals are sub-par even for Corgan, but the drums+guitar are fucking awesome. Go, Pumpkins, go!

[taperkat]

I guess that's what happens when you take James and D'Arcy out of it, it sounds like SP Lite
 
 damnit. I'm disappointed. How could you let me down, Billy Corgan?! HOW. grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.

[Sage 703]

I dig it.
 
 And I got tickets to the shows on the 23rd and 24th in Asheville.  Anybody else going?
