RSD ESSENTIAL
2LP Red Smoke vinyl, Reissue, 180g, Gatefold
Capitol (2025) US
One of the most influential albums of the 90s, featuring “Today,” “Disarm” and “Cherub Rock,” on exclusive Red Smoke 180 Gram Color Vinyl.
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." 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.
