Smashing Pumpkins – Siamese Dream – 180 Gram Vinyl 2 LP

Some say strife and tension produces the best music, and it certainly helped make Siamese Dream one of the finest alt-rock albums of all time. Instead of following Nirvana's punk rock route, Siamese Dream went in the opposite direction — guitar solos galore, layered walls of sound courtesy of the album's producers (Butch Vig and Corgan), extended compositions that bordered on prog rock, plus often reflective and heartfelt lyrics. The four tracks that were selected as singles became alternative radio standards — the anthems "Cherub Rock," "Today," and "Rocket," plus the symphonic ballad "Disarm" — but as a whole, Siamese Dream proved to be an incredibly consistent album. The album debuted in the Billboard Top Ten and sold more than four million copies in three years. Siamese Dream stands alongside Nevermind and Superunknown as one of the decade's finest (and most influential) rock albums. — All Music Guide
