Customer Reviews Great Songs... must have I don't do many reviews, but I felt compelled here just because of how good these songs are. I'm a big pumpkins fan and have been for years. "Today", of course, is a classic pumpkins song, but in my opinion the two b-sides eclipse the single. "Hello Kitty Kat" and "Obscured" are two of my top 10 pumpkins songs in their own right. However, you should skip this and just get the album 'Pisces Iscariot', which has these b-sides and a lot of others. It's a b-sides collection better than most rock bands could ever hope to achieve with their a-sides. Best B-Sides from any Pumpkins' single This single disc itself, in addition to having "Today", has some of the best B-Sides the Pumpkins ever wrote. "Today" is a great song and a remarkable landmark for the Pumpkins as a successful single and an overall great song to enjoy. "Hello Kitty Kat" should have been on Siamese Dream no doubt. It's a hard-rocker with a sly, catchy chorus worthy of play. And following the shred-fest of that song comes the soothing "Obscured". This is one of my favorite acoustic Smashing Pumpkins songs. It is so heartfelt and emotional. But you can get both of these songs on "Pisces Iscariot", so you should go buy that right now. But regardless, if you are a diehard fan, you should get this. The Best Single from the SD-Era The three songs are to DIE FOR. This is an auditory summary of Pumpkins Siamese-Dream Era Rock/Dream Pop/Indie/Grunge. No really. You could go spend $14. 99 for Pisces Iscariot for the latter two songs, but um if you're running low on cash, or you just aren't harcore enought to sit through that other b-side album, this is for you! Today is a classic mainstream rock song, but yet is still has its induviduality, and does not fade into the category of overproduced-record corp-rock. Hello Kitty Kat is almost punk, seriously! Its got the happy hardcore music with some mildly disturbing lyrics, great song. The last track just rules, a tad mellower though. This is another pumpkin single filled with groovy photos and artwork! By the Way D'Arcy's sister, Molly, is on the cover, if you didn't know that (but because your a pumpknhead, you knew that :D ). .
