Cherub Rock

by

The Smashing Pumpkins

Edit

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.
