Try, Try, Try

by

The Smashing Pumpkins

Edit

In my opinion, 'Try' is probably the best song off of Machina, it is the last ever single The Smashing Pumpkins will ever release. period.

Now the other reviews I have read are saying how HTTAB isn't up to par with other b-sides. True, and not true. This is a song that also appears on the Machina 2 album, however, THE VERSION ON THIS SINGLE IS DIFFERENT THAN THE ALBUM VERSION. It took me awhile to learn that before I bought it. The album version stinks. This version is 20x better. It has guitar solos, and it is actually listenable.

While it's no 'Speed Kills' off of the SIYL import, it is worth the $10 to any real pumpkins fan.

Hope to see you at the UC show.

there's this one (electric) and the one "on" machina 2 (acoustic and synth) which is the "alt" version. But the electric one that appears on this single (what the hell is "Dootone Masters"? lol, crazy amazon. Edit: ha, they fixed the title the day after i wrote this) is also on the Greatest Hits b-side/unreleased bonus disc (limited edition. i'm not sure what it's going for at the moment) and since the only reason to buy this single is for the b-side you might as well seek it out as there are other great songs you can only get on that release. I give this 1 star b/c like many SP releases it's just designed to rip off hardcore fans (like me)

Edit: If I wasn't clear enough, these songs are awesome, as does just about every official or unofficially released song by this great band. Billy is "reviving" the band soon so he said. Whatever that means I'm sure it'll be good.

One last note, download the live-only song "girl with the cruel face" by billy's post-sp band Zwan. Their best released song was a b-side, btw "freedom ain't what it used to be". Most of their best songs are from the shows they did in 2001 and 2002. Sucks but at least we're still getting new music. Didn't like The Future Embrace much though. Too lyrically plain and sonically the same throughout. Anyway i said too much. Rock on!@#$3!@#!@#
