Sorry to go out of sequence but that Pumpkins track deserves better. This album, as well as Siamese Dream, have stood up over time better than anything else to me. There has never been anything to compare Melon Collie to, then or now. This particular song is beautifully textured, with some great jams mixed in. 9.5/10

The Death from Above one rocks though. I wish there was a better recording of it. It's tight and fast... I like. 8/10.

Reminds me of The Beatles, soft and very catchy. One thing I did dislike was the length and that's kind of why The Beatles had such a success their song were short catchy and just an orgasm in your ear. 7/10

Old song, still love it.

I liked it. The chorus was a little bit too repetitive and cliche, but still good. The baseline was great. 7/10

Yeah, nice bassline. Really catchy.

You might only know them by "3's & 7's", but this is WAY better IMO.

I absolutely hate the horrible video. But if you were to listen to the song alone it has a catchy retro feel to it. Its not bad and kind of remind me of a scene in a movie where a hot chick pops into the scene and all the guys are staring lol.

This song is a mix of blues, southern rock,and blue grass. Enjoy :]

The southern rock sound coming from CoC is different, and a bit softer from what I'm used to from them, but I don't know too much of their stuff. It sounds great thought, mostly. It's solid and bluesy as you said but I think the guitar solos are too overbearing. The whole thing would sound better if it was a little more chill. I know where they're coming from, but I prefer their other songs like Albatross. But overall very good.

Here's one from from David Gilmour's solo years (from Pink Floyd.) The volume's a bit soft.

The guitar sounds great in the beginning of the song. Very glassy sound, sounds absolutely beautiful. I think that David Gilmour's voice contrasts way too much with the sound of the guitar. It's too harsh. Once the song picks up, his voice seems to blend better. Gilmour has always been a good soloist though, everything always fits perfectly with the song rather than just seem like a bunch of muddled fast notes. Even with the intense distortion, it still fit wonderfully.

8/10

Also note, when listening to my song, ignore the video, it's a fan made video, and has nothing to do with the song, I just wanted to find a version that came off of the album, rather than a live version.
