Editorial Review:
An introductory drum roll drops out and is replaced by a single suspended electric guitar, which is then paralleled by a snare, filled in with the bass, and--crash!--"Cherub Rock," the opening track, is enveloped in an explosion of metal guitar. So the journey begins. This album is pre-experimentation vintage Pumpkins. Produced by Butch Vig (Garbage, Sonic Youth, Nirvana's Nevermind), Siamese Dream is first about guitars. Lots and lots of guitars. A very close second is Jimmy Chamberlain's unquestionably excellent power drumming. Throughout each song, Billy Corgan delivers angsty lyrics in his signature breathy whine. "Disarm" is a nice intermission halfway though the album. As the title of the song suggests, it throws the listener into a different mood with its full string arrangements and radiant orchestral chimes. But then it is back to the aural masochism--a pain that rarely sounds so sweet. --Beth Bessmer
Customer Reviews
Average Rating: 
Rating: - One of the best!!!!!!!
This CD is a classic, to quote the salesperson that sold it to me "this CD is beautiful".
Rating:  - "The killer in me is the killer in you..."
Siamese Dream by Smashing Pumpkins really brought this indie rock band into the limelight. Frontman Billy Corgan has an unique voice and his songwriting is pure heart even when he sings about nothing profound. Songs like Today, Rocket, Maynnoise, and the song that got me hooked, Disarm (still one of my favorite songs of all-time). This is a great album from the early '90s and this cd was produced by Butch Vig who went on to form his own band, Garbage. Get this classic today!
Rating: - This cd still kills!!
I love this cd! The 90's was a great time for "alternative", "indie", rock or however you'd classify the Pumpkins (I hate the term "grunge"). The tracks all rock with heavy drums and guitar but you can still play it when you're just hanging out. Billy Corgan's vocals go perfectly with every track. "Today", "Cherub Rock", and "Hummer" are my absolute favorites on this cd if I had to narrow it down. Great memories!
Rating: - Amazing CD
I love those pristine glassy perfect clean sounds almost as I love solos and the songs Hummer, Soma, and Mayonaise all have the best I've ever heard. The songs Cherub Rock, Today, and Disarm are awesome too. I love this band and Billy Corgan.
Rating: - Awesome
I love this CD! It only rated 4 stars because of "playability". You really can't listen to it over and over. Gotta take a break from it for a bit or the songs all start to sound the same.
