14. The Smashing Pumpkins-Being Beige
So is it any god damn surprise what so ever that I’d put the
ALL MIGHTY SMASHING PUMPKINS on my list people I mean them being my favorite
band kind of tells you right from the get go that I’ll at the very least enjoy
whatever product Mr. Billy Corgan and company put out and this tune is yet
another one of those examples.
There’s a mixed reaction to this tune in that a bunch of
fans are kind of disappointed in how soft a tune it is and others seem to
either compare it to Coldplay or Corgan’s Zwan project and I can see where
people would think that in how it’s a softer more straightforward tune but if
you were to look at the material he was working on back in 2007 with the
residency shows I think it’s more like those songs which isn’t a bad thing
because like many a tune from that time he’d been kicking around he gave it a
hefty dose of studio ass kicking and amped up the electric guitars to give the
song a sweeping feel that is the tried and true modern pumpkins sound that was
like the better tracks on Oceana and the only reason I can’t put it any higher
on this list is because the end of it’s a little too repetitive for even my
taste and his constant uttering of the worlds on fire is something that kind of
brings down an already solid single from being great.
Although in all honesty at the end of the day I’m just glad
for new pumpkins music.
