flanging a guitar track doth not a pumpkins track maketh..

I rather enjoyed this one
Didn't care much though for the almost continual cymbal/open hat which distracted my ears too much (and the same on each hit)
And somehow the transition at 3.10 didn't sound right.
Still like said; enjoyed. And I think the vox is quite allright; it certainly has character

I'm liking this...
The vocals sound good to me... maybe not quite powerfull enough; as they sound slightly restrained.
The solo at 1:47 is very Pumpkins.
... and when it comes in again later on.
IMHO, I also think the Phased guitars start a bit too suddenly at the beginning... I think I'd mix them so they come in quiter and build slower till the start of the vocal line (where they'd drop down again to make way for the vocals).
But overall... I really like this, it's good stuff.

Kim,
I liked this too, I agree with others here, I would take down the hi hat mix somewhat, and the solo at 1:47 is nice. I didnt see anyp roblems with your voice, but I think it would sound cool to double track a breathy whisper a'la early pumpkins for the verses.

first off, i can't stand smashing pumpkins, but i'm trying to keep that out of my review here 
okay, the vocals were okay to me. its not that they sounded bad or anything, just that they never "took off". they kinda stayed the same droning sound the entire song. dynamics!!! flanging guitars were cool, may be just me, but i could have sworn the timing was a bit off right before the solo. Solo was nice - very pumpkins sounding for sure, liked the slides there.
maybe just a little more spice and that song would be really good. again, it was NOT bad, just some things to work on (strictly my opinion of course!! which means jack shit) thanks for sharing
