DEFINITELY not as good as the original, but at least respectable.

If you say it's amazing then it's automatically crap. An embarrassment to the original. Who's the female singing?

Umm, Perez, wrong title to the article. I hope this isn't one of those ignorant gay things to do…

Man, I don't even know what to say..this post is messed up in so many ways.

decent enough cover, but mostly makes me think of vocalized elevator music. if these guys were truly talented, they would do their own music instead of killing someone elses.

this is the SHITTIEST cover of ANY song i've heard… but the pumpkins… seriously? who would even try to cover them? and why does it sound like there are girls singing? this band seriously sucks.

Suck fest. If they had talent they'd be writing their own songs and not singing karaoke of other people's stuff.

Really really bad…

I can't believe some of you people think this is even remotely good. That guy sounds like someone kicked him in his junk and then told him to imagine he was a pretty pretty princess floating through a meadow. Even if I didn't know what the orginal song sounded like, this would be terrible.

this was horrible… i can't believe im saying this but Panic! at the disco's covere was at least decent.

original is always going to be better

Wow. I think my ears just had an orgasm! That was beautiful.

And, yes, of course I prefer the original Smashing Pumkins, but this cover is still really quite good. I love passion pit!

Why even mess with the original? It was already a great song, and they just made it suck and sound homo.

YUCK! I truly was looking forward to hearing something good…all I have to say is, "Can I have my 30 seconds back that I wasted listening to this crap"?

wrong title and its awful

One of the best thing about the original track was Billy Corgan singing the verses. Passion Pit didn't do anything new to this track and the vocals are boring and self indulgent. I now seriously doubt that I will listen to any music you post, your taste in music is crap (except for Robyn, she's super awesome)

This was absolutely terrible. The Smashing Pumpkins are one of my favorite bands and that song is one of my all time favorites as well. I like Passion Pit, but it makes me sad that they ruined such an amazing song.

Good, Young Empires are better.
