Album Notes This edition of SIAMESE DREAM contains the original 20-page booklet. Smashing Pumpkins: Billy Corgan (vocals, guitar, Mellotron); D'Arcy (vocals, bass); James Iha (guitar); Jimmy Chamberlin (drums). Additional personnel: David Ragsdale (violin); Eric Remschneider (cello); Mike Mills (piano). Engineers: Mark Richardson, Jeff Tomei, Butch Vig. Recorded at Triclops Sound Studios, Atlanta, Georgia. 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 Chamberlain'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?

Top Reviews  For me...the best album they did!!Review created: 10/13/06 by:  6 of 10 people found this review helpful. I like the Smashing Pumpkins....they always had a unique sound and style that was all their own! Deemed an "alternative" band, this CD is heavy on the guitar sound, with experiments in rhythm and the distinctive voice that is Billy Corgan! Released in 1993 this CD really is a treat and it stood apart from the other major releases of the time which were embedded in the grunge era! It opens with Cherub rock with its in your face guitar rifts and drum beats, paired with Corgans whispy almost etherial voice that works so well on the track and gives it such a unique style. Quiet also has similar qualities with more drum emphasis then we are treated to a change of direction with the wonderful 'Today' a staple of many rock radio stations around the States for its immense listenability. Hummer has a cool, almost lazy rift which kicks up at the chorus and Disarm explodes with acoustic sound coupled with the serene nature of the violin! Soma slows it right down especially with its mellow intro, and spaceboy again treats us to a wealth of sound. Luna is the perfect end to an album that opens with a bang, taking us to the end of a complete course of the Pumpkins!! Their best album by far!! Review ID: 10000000002126039 Was this review helpful?
