Originally released in 1993, Siamese Dream is the breakthrough second album from the Smashing Pumpkins and one of the finest to ever come out of the alt-rock movement. Co-produced with Butch Vig and instrumentally recorded almost entirely by bandleader Billy Corgan himself, the guitar-heavy affair generated no less than four hit singles in Cherub Rock, Today, Disarm and Rocket. Â
Built on rich, layered sonics and inherent dynamic tension, Siamese Dream stands alongside Nirvana s Nevermind and Soundgarden s Superunknown as the defining albums of the decade and alt-rock s Mount Rushmore.Â
Siamese Dream was loaded with melodies, from Luna to the scorched overdrive of Cherub Rock, Corgan’s raised middle finger to the independent-rock scene that never embraced him. The feeling was mutual. Corgan wrote his share of clunky lyrics ( Life’s a bummer when you’re a hummer ) but they spoke with a directness that Cobain’s more poetically inclined words sometimes lacked. Corgan was a stoop-shouldered suburban misfit from a splintered household, much like many in his audience, and Siamese Dream became a soundtrack for a significant portion of his generation.
