Fri, 20 Apr 2007 21:33:41 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author Pantagruel - 1993 was a puzzling time for me as I struggled to keep up with the musical acts making names for themselves. You see, I was 26 and had just returned to the States from a two-year stay in Kenya, oblivious to the shift in direction grunge was causing. I...

Fri, 1 Apr 2005 16:45:06 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author avedic - I haven't written a review in a while, so I figured I'd get back into things with an album that I've been wearing out recently. The Smashing Pumpkins...a fairly polarizing band. Alot of people love them, and many really can't stand the bunch. Not a...

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author vzres0sgij - Introductions were never my thing, and I doubt I'll get any better as time goes on. Let me just tell you my story with Siamese Dream (or SD as I'll call it for the remainder of the review). Well, a long ago, I got my hands on the Smashing...

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author theboi83 - Following the underground success of their debut album, Gish, the Smashing Pumpkins entered the studio with legendary producer Butch Vig (of Nirvana's Nevermind fame). It has been well documented that the Pumpkins were not getting along very well with...

musc mu-144472: One of THOSE nineties albums

Mon, 17 May 2004 14:39:06 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author i_am_morton - After Gish, Billy Corgan, as he would later repeat for his other albums, declared that if the Smashing Pumpkin's next record was not a success, he would dissolve the band. Fortunately for him and for us, this was not the case. Siamese Dream went several...

musc mu-144472: This Is A Masterpiece? Not In My Book…

Sat, 7 Feb 2004 02:37:40 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author motionsuggests - Man, It’s really hard criticizing such a universally celebrated, “classic” album like Siamese Dream without sounding like an a**hole, but I just have to say it. This is NOT a masterpiece. First, the good. This is an improvement...

musc mu-144472: Siamese Dream: The Pumpkins at their very best.

Sun, 23 Nov 2003 00:14:06 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author ghostx110x - I first started liking the Smashing Pumpkins about a year ago. I had known songs such as Bullet with Butterfly Wings and others from much radio play, but I had never loved them. I heard parts of Siamese Dream while at my cousin's house...

Sun, 2 Nov 2003 15:21:04 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author superpaddy - Siamese Dream is the Pumpkins second effort following 1991's "Gish" and is arguably their best.

musc mu-144472: The dream of Billy Corgan

Thu, 18 Sep 2003 06:38:00 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author foxy_shy - How do I understand the title of this album? As we all know, ‘Siamese Twins’ are two people born together, two bodies stuck together. Billy Corgan has found a cool way to describe two people that are meant to be together, though born miles apart. This is...

Thu, 4 Sep 2003 23:56:57 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author MattA75 - I've always felt that Billy Corgan was probably the most pretentious a*shole in the music business today. But that doesn't mean that his band was anything short of being great, it just means that Billy Corgan was probably the most pretentious a*sh...

musc mu-144472: Gauze and glued-on wings

Thu, 24 Jul 2003 16:57:39 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author blksqul - My Bloody Valentine's "Loveless" came out in 1991. The music was strange, powerful and druggy. Full of violent reds, soothing purples, dips into black and the whitest white lights. Feminine and masculine-feminine voices buried in murk and starlight. Kevin...

I don't even know where to begin with this one, it's meant more to me than any other CD in my collection for a long long time now.

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author corganrocks - Siamese Dream was the second LP released by Chicago band The Smashing Pumpkins, following on from their precocious debut entitled Gish.

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author thevoid99 - If there’s one band from the 1990s that did stood out without being imitated, it was the Smashing Pumpkins. Led by singer, guitarist, and songwriter Billy Corgan, the Pumpkins blended the elements of 80s post-punk, Goth, lush dream pop, bombastic...

Fri, 11 Oct 2002 10:42:20 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author indiecater - In the end the Smashing Pumpkins never quite eclipsed their contemporaries from Seattle who decided it was better to burn out than fade away.

Fri, 29 Mar 2002 18:24:11 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author theprodigy - NOTE: This is a rewritten review. I wasn't very satisfied with the first one.
