Oh My God! I Totally Love This Song!


COMMON REACTOR BY SILVERSUN PICKUPS



Maybe this is about confronting death while tripping on acid? Who knows, and who cares, it has such a great sound and a sing-along chorus and it just gallops along and I love it. The twelve year old girl who lives in my brain gets her scrunchy in a bunch over how cute the lead singer is, too. But that’s beside the point. This song is cool and weird and you need to hear it.
It’s the stream of a motion blur that swirls around ‘til you drown:

this song is amazing. i love the slow build-up and how there is something wistful and sad about it.

Yeah, it's one of their best. They've been in heavy rotation ever since I found out about them. They have an EP, Pikul and two full albums, Carnavas and Swoon.
