2.0 out of 5 stars Bad impulse buy., October 25, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Cherub Rock (Audio CD)

I bought this on an impulse while purchasing several other singles in to fill in my Pumpkin collection, and I was fairly disappointed with this one. I am a die-hard Pumpkinhead since I first heard 'Today' back in '94, and own pretty much everything they've ever done. They still remain my favorite all-time band. Cherub Rock is an awesome song, and Pissant is good as well. However, I recommend that you buy "Siamese Dream" for CR and "Pisces Iscariot" for Pissant. I already had both when I purchased this single, and was simply trying to fill in the 'French Movie Theme' hole. Simply put, FMT isn't a song. It's just some weird music with odd humming-like noises in the background. Just stick with the albums and forget this single. Get the singles with good b-sides instead. I'd highly recommend "The Aeroplane Flies High" boxed set of the MCIS singles, as well as "Pisces Iscariot" which is a collection of b-sides from the Gish and Siamese Dream eras.

5.0 out of 5 stars Bravo!!!, February 2, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Cherub Rock (Audio CD)

The Cherub Rock single has Cherub Rock, Pissant, and the French movie Theme. Pissant-good beat with excelent Billy screams-pure pumpkin rock. The French Movie Theme-quiet, soothing song with a clip of sound after the song with (I think) Billy singing the American National Anthum. Brovo to the wonderful work of Pumpkin Power!

5.0 out of 5 stars Awesome song, bad CD, May 31, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Cherub Rock (Audio CD)

I must say that Cherub Rock is one of the greatest SP songs, but to buy the single would be a waste of 6 bucks. Instead, just head for Siamese Dream, which has Cherub Rock AND many other kickin' songs. Siamese Dream is my all-time FAVORITE CD EVER, and I highly recommend it. If there is one CD to own by SP, Siamese Dream is it. So don't get the single, get the CD!
