obligatory "influential on song of the day" post.

i think it's a shame that corgan never fully explored his cyber-metal. i mean, there's some material out there, but he never did an opus and sort of ended up getting upstaged on it by bands like boris.

this was about as metal as i ever really got or ever wanted to get (not due to lack of looking, it's just that the genre becomes self-parody at nearly the moment it amps itself - through the course of my life, and since the 80s at least, it's been virtually impossible to do metal without sounding like an idiot), and informed my punchier outbursts on the track in question. i specifically remember thinking to myself "i want it to hit as hard as xyu". :).

(relevant track: teenage jesus (viewless), liquify, first movement)
