Bad impulse buy.

"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."

Bravo!!!

"The Cherub Rock single has Cherub Rock, Pissant, and the French movie Theme. Pissant-good beat with excelent Billy screams-pure pumpkin rock. The French Movie Theme-quiet, soothing song with a clip of sound after the song with (I think) Billy singing the American National Anthum. Brovo to the wonderful work of Pumpkin Power!"

Awesome song, bad CD

"I must say that Cherub Rock is one of the greatest SP songs, but to buy the single would be a waste of 6 bucks. Instead, just head for Siamese Dream, which has Cherub Rock AND many other kickin' songs. Siamese Dream is my all-time FAVORITE CD EVER, and I highly recommend it. If there is one CD to own by SP, Siamese Dream is it. So don't get the single, get the CD!"
