Talking about b-sides and everyhting...
Saturday, August 16, 2008 - 12:52 pm - Gamaliel91
You know what it would be great and interesting? A SP's cover of Me and Bobby McGee by Janis Joplin.

My Second Fave out of all SP albums
Sunday, July 13, 2008 - 7:02 pm - drofmusic
This album in many ways seems to be a more cohesive effort and to me is like the B side of Siamese Dream which it mostly is on many of the tracks. Don't get me wrong I love MCIS but for some reason this one is just a notch higher in my view of albums. Still love MCIS though!!! Plume and Whir are great but the majesty of Starla cannot be overstated!!!! Just a freakin' great collection of quintessential SP!!!

Brilliant

Any other band and this would be the premier album. For the Pumpkins, its the B-Sides record. Its really a testament to just how many amazing tracks they have produced over the years.

As side note "Landslide" is my favorite SP track of all time, and for it alone this album is worth having, (Not to mention the rest.)

Can't Believe it took this long...

I've been a Pumpkins fan since around when MCIS came out (I was too young before that). I never gave this album a try because I always heard it labeled as a B-side album and I really just wanted to get all the full albums. What was I thinking?? This album alone is a fantastic piece and could easily be a band's best release. Songs like Whir and Starla..and my favorite Hello Kitty Kat. What took me so long to recognize this album??
Can't wait for the 20th anniversary tour..I hope they pull some of these songs out of the treasure chest...

Pisces Iscariot...

I underrated "PISCES" for a long time, until read that crazy booklet, and get so curious. Then, I discovered a BRILIANT B-sides album. Pick the details of Gish + the passion of Siamese Dream, you'll got Pisces Iscariot.
Actually, my third favorite album.

This Album

is one of my favs, i listen to it alot. i know it is b-sides, but i think all of these songs stand up by themselves, which is probably why so many love it. i love every song on here, my fav though is probalby frail and bedazled. billy, you do such good work.

yay!!!

i love this one! especially Plume, Whir, Hello Kitty Kat, Obscured and Starla, all the others are amazing aswell!!!!

A good companion piece to "Gish" and "Siamese Dream"

Any Pumpkins fan, particularly fans of the "golden era" (it seems fans really romanticize the 1990-1994 time period) will enjoy this compilation. As an album, this is probably my least favorite Pumpkins release. But as a group of songs, this is an invaluable companion to "Gish" and especially "Siamese Dream". While both of those albums are tight and focused, "Pisces Iscariot" and "Earphoria" give the listener a rougher, broader sense of what the Pumpkins were all about back then. While I really like most of the songs on PI, I can see why they were left off Gish and SD and am glad they were. Even awesome songs like "Soothe," "Starla," "Frail and Bedazzled", and "Obscured" are not up to snuff with the actual SD album, but hey, any other band would kill for outtakes like these!

ME DEMORÉ EN SABER QUE EXISTIA
Wednesday, January 9, 2008 - 6:41 am - pumpkineta
ASÍ ES, ESTABA TAN ATURDIDA CON EL EFECTO SIAMESE DREAM QUE NO IMAGINABA QUE LA BANDA PODRÍA SEGUIR PRODUCIENDO MATERIAL DIGNO DE ESCUCHAR...
UN AMIGO GRINGO ME REGALÓ UN CASET, NO DARÉ FECHAS, SIN EMBARGO LE AGRADEZCO HASTA HOY, ÉL UN FANÁTICO INCONDICIONAL, HA HECHO LO QUE YO SIEMPRE HE QUERIDO: TENER UNA BANDA TRIBUTO...

Such an important and unimportant album at the same time

I remember getting Pisces and Siamese Dream shortly after falling in love with Mellon Collie, I was so hypnotized by the band that every song just threw an arrow into my heart, I remember my father actually getting mad at me once as a Kid yelling "smashing pumpkins" "smashing pumpking" THAT"S ALL YOU TALK ABOUT BOY!!!! lol... anyways favourite song "WHIR" & "La Dolly Vita"

Whir yourself around, just to fall back down

Georgie17xx, this was made 1994, and SD was made 1993, am I wrong? Anyway, I think this is my favourite album. Whir is such an amazing artwork, like I said in an other review, it all melts together. Underbart! Love the lyrics, everything.

i am so confused
Saturday, December 1, 2007 - 4:41 pm - Georgie17xx
was this before or after siamese dream? this is the only one i dont have but im getting it soon. still confused because i always thought it was before siamese dream.....grr

If anyone has all the songs please upload them. It won't take you that much effort and we all can enjoy the music.

I listened to this song after a bad break up before i would go running and while i stretched. Needless to say i was the best stretched runner of all time. Very soothing and clears your mind to listen to it. I consider myself a big fan and they are my favorite band ever(im 37) and this is the song i find to be there best. A song for the ages.

For me this is the best SP song ever, I'm not kidding! This song makes me smile every time I hear it and the melody is sooooooooo beautiful. Along with the dreamy atmosphere and spacey hissing vocals this is #1 for me and I doubt that will ever change.
