The Pretty Pumpkins

The Smashing Pumpkins are like two bands in one. You have the snarling, heavy Smashing Pumpkins that operate on one side of the alt-rock spectrum, and the soft, super-sensitive "Pretty" Pumpkins who operate on the other. This EP is the Pretty Pumpkins sprinkled with hipster dust. The arrangemnts are minimalistic (except maybe for the title track), the melodies sweet, and the lyrics yearning. My personal favorite is "Cherry".I like EPs. Something about the compactness and focus just charms me to no end. Also, the simple truth is that with less songs, there are less duds (with good bands, at least). Consequently, there are no duds on this EP. That's why it gets five stars.

Essential Pumpkins purchase

The 1979 EP was originally part of the Aeroplane Flies High box set, but if you're lucky enough to find it sold separately, go ahead and buy it. It has the classic "1979" plus five cuts that didn't make it onto Mellon Collie. "Ugly," an ode to low self-esteem, has kind of a Cars sound to it, and it's one of the Pumpkins' most interesting tracks. "The Boy" and "Believe" are two poppier numbers written by James Iha ("Believe" is my favorite of the two). The last song, "Set the Ray to Jerry," is one of my favorite Pumpkins songs.This CD is fun to listen to. It showcases the Pumpkins' alternative pop side very well. If you see this in a used CD bin, don't hesitate for a second to buy it.

GREAT SONG

"1979" by The Smashing Pumpkins is just a great song.I was at the CD store one day after I had just heard the song and picked the tape up (there was no cd there).I then stuck it in,listened to it,and about a week later,went out and bought "Mellon Collie And The Infinite Sadness",which includes "1979","Tonight,Tonight",and the other great songs.This is a good single if you find it,but for a real Pumpkins experiece,I recomend "Mellon Collie And The Infinite Sadness".
