Oh my god I think I just wet my pants. I’ve not had this feeling in FUCKING YEARS!!!! Just downloaded the Pumpkin’s latest single from their upcoming zeitgeist and I’ve got to say it’s hot milk with honey on a cool spring evening. Seriously this song’s taken me back like about 10 years when music actually was exciting and actually inspired you to get on with things and actually meant something to someone like me.

Is it a return to form? Well from the very first beat which comes in with the UNMISTAKABLE Jimmy Chamberlin drum beat all the way to the slight guitar solo. The fact that there is no real chorus, but rather one long stream of song, all very definitive pumpkin songs. Billy’s mixed it in nicely with something new. He generally doesn’t get backing vocals or his own voice playing in the background as the next stage comes in so that was interesting to hear as well.

Also there’s something less sharp about his voice. He’s less angry and you can hear it but that just makes his voice slightly softer something as I grow older (and obviously him as well) makes the sound flow better.

Traditionally the single is always one of the better songs in the entire album but if the rest of the album comes close to this level then we’re in for a real treat.
