Singer/guitarist/leader Billy Corgan was battling a severe case of writer's block and was in a deep state of depression brought on by a relationship in turmoil; drummer Jimmy Chamberlin was addicted to hard drugs; and bassist D'Arcy and guitarist James Iha severed their romantic relationship.
The sessions for their sophomore effort, Siamese Dream, were wrought with friction -- Corgan eventually played almost all the instruments himself (except for percussion).
Siamese Dream stands alongside Nevermind and Superunknown as one of the decade's finest (and most influential) rock albums.

The pictures in the Siamese Dream booklet are not old family pictures like many have thought, they were compiled by a graphic artist, they are completely random.

 Siamese Dream Review | Smashing Pumpkins | Reviews @ Ultimate-Guitar.Com
Siamese Dream is an incredible sounding album, and one that I could not stop listening to.
My pet peeves of Siamese Dream are the softer songs; I prefer the blaring, in-your-face songs, and also the fact that there are no explanations behind the lyrics.
Siamese Dream is one of the greatest alternative rock records of all time.

 Amazon.ca: Siamese Dream [Explicit Lyrics]: Music   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
Siamese Dream also has some very cutesy-sweet songs on it, typical of the Pumpkins, such as "Spaceboy" and "Sweet Sweet", they are both pleasant and nice, while somewhat cheesy, they don't offend the ears, and also add a welcome variety to the generally hard-rocking sound present on the album.
Around 'Siamese Dream''s release in 1993, Grunge was ruling the airwaves, with bands like Nirvana, Pearl Jam, and Soundgarden achieving massive sucsess, and the Smashing Pumpkins set out to achieve the same sucsess as their counterparts.
Hummer- One of 'Siamese Dream's longest, "Hummer" is a blend of Alternative Rock and Prog Rock, and the end result is a hard rocking ballad that is simply beautiful.

Fitting, then, that Siamese Dream so consistently and successfully marries the euphoric to the melancholy and mines rock's adolescent sex/death dichotomy for all it's worth, again and again, in "Cherub Rock" and "Rocket" and "Silverfuck" and "Soma".
Maybe that's going to be true of anything that was eventually commodified with astonishing quickness and sold directly to a demographic at whose core I happened to be residing at age seventeen.
These kids were barely born when Siamese Dream came out.

'Siamese Dream' released in early 1993 is a thing of beauty.
It doesn't matter if your beer is classical, opera, western, dance or indie those who appreciate good music will know how important 'Siamese Dream' is. Butch Vig (a garbage man but nevermind) must be credited with helping Corgan on production; the sound quality is crisp as if the band were playing in your head.
Well the Smashing Pumpkins do care that the journey is an adventure but what matters most is that everyone is tucked up in bed dreaming at the end.

 Rolling Stone : Smashing Pumpkins: Siamese Dream : Music Reviews   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
With Butch Vig co-producing, Siamese Dream is guitars and more guitars -- streamlined or sludgy and often aping such dinosaurs as Boston and Queen, stacked in sonic layers.
The Pumpkins have a soft spot for psychedelia, as was apparent on their debut "Gish," visible in "Siamese Dream" tracks like the dreamy "Soma." A seven minute litany of loneliness, the song builds on a solid foundation of Corgan and James Iha's guitars, exploding in a thrashy climax of trem-bend distortion.
This trend would become even more apparent on their follow-up double album, "Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness." "Siamese Dream" is the last vestige of the band's indie roots, and the sophomore effort is a fascinating transitory piece.

 Music Review: Smashing Pumpkins - "Siamese Dream"
by Joe O., Highland Mills, NY "Siamese Dream," the sophomore effort from the alternative band Smashing Pumpkins, is considered by many to be one of the defining albums of the early '90s.
Corgan's remarkable talent for representing the angst felt by so many is at its best on "Siamese Dream." Except for the opening track, "Cherub Rock," which examines the greed of the music industry, each song deals with the individual struggle faced by so many teens.
With "Siamese Dream," the Smashing Pumpkins created a tapestry of youthful desperation, which, unlike many bands of the time, favored a sense of hope over complete nihilism.

When SIAMESE DREAM was initially released in the summer of 1993 it was hailed as alternative rock's first great post-NEVERMIND hope.
By combining neo-psychedelic AOR guitars (band-members proudly claim Boston as an influence) with Pumpkin auteur Billy Corgan's "outsider" lyrical stance, SIAMESE DREAM creates a rebel image; but one with a wandering eye towards mainstream acceptance as well.
Corgan and co-producer Butch Vig have sculpted a sonic wall of guitars--in some cases, using up to 32 separate guitar tracks on a single song--that is electrifying in its sheer scope and power.

 Nude as the News: Smashing Pumpkins: Siamese Dream
The follow-up to the group's acclaimed debut, Gish, Siamese Dream catapulted the group into superstardom, solidifying their status as rock gods.
Lyrically, Siamese Dream shows Corgan to be a powerful -- albeit somewhat repetitive -- songwriter, in which angst overflows like hot coffee.
While the Pumpkins' music took an ugly shift toward pomposity and derivative '80s pop on subsequent efforts, Siamese Dream still stands with Gish as two of the most powerful rock albums of the '90s.
