The Smashing Pumpkins

Siamese Dream - 2LP

£40.99

Released: 11th April 2025. When 'Siamese Dream' was initially released in the summer of 1993 it was hailed as alternative rock's first great post-'Nevermind' hope. And while it has gone on to become an overwhelming commercial success, it has also helped further re-draw the artistic borders of 'alternative' music. By combining neo-psychedelic AOR guitars (band members proudly claim Boston as an influence) with Pumpkin auteur Billy Corgan's 'outsider' lyrical stance, 'Siamese Dream' creates a rebel image; but one with a wandering eye towards mainstream acceptance as well. Consequently, Smashing Pumpkins are equally successful relating to young lollapaloozers and to classic rock radio. The album's immediate attraction is plain to see - Corgan and co-producer Butch Vig have sculpted a sonic wall of guitars - in some cases, using up to 32 separate guitar tracks on a single song - that is electrifying in its sheer scope and power. Along with Jimmy Chamberlin's powerhouse drumming, guitarists Corgan and James Iha's thick sound endows 'Siamese Dream' with a fresh feel that holds up even on repeated listens - and how many other 'top ten' albums can you say that about?
