Siamese Dream
1993
Favorite tracks: Cherub Rock, Rocket, Geek U.S.A
Sleeper tracks: Disarm, Luna
Another band that I refused to like early on.
I didn't pick this album up until 10 years ago. I always liked "Cherub Rock" and "Rocket" but I wasn't the biggest Pumpkins fan. I loved Jimmy Chamberlin's drumming but couldn't get past Corgan's persona. There are some really good songs on this record. The production is pretty cool (produced by Butch Vig, a college friend of my uncle. More on that later in Album: 365). Sometimes the guitars are a little too muddy and constricted but it works for the Pumpkins. It actually became a signature sound of theirs.
This is probably my favorite Smashing Pumpkins album.
