16 years old-- I knew when I bought this CD ✨at a record store✨ in 1993 and popped it into that Sony boombox for the first listen-through, that this album would be indelible in rock history. Every track is perfectly-produced, harnessing that clean, yet chaotic sound that the Pumpkins mastered. I can always listen to the entire record without the urge to skip, and when "Hummer" plays, I am instantly transported back to age 16. It just keeps getting more delicious every time. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

This is only one of the greatest rock albums made of all time, let alone in the last 30 years!

This is one of the those albums that was a bit under appreciated when it came out but now is revered as one of the best rock albums. Deservedly so...
AMAZING.

Best of Smashing Pumpkins' catalog and a place to start for new fans. LOVE "Cherub Rock," "Today," and "Mayonaise." Great from top to bottom.
Wish I was alive at this time

This album is great! It just brings me back to my childhood, when I used to listen to it over and over again lol! Just dusted off all of my old music and realized the CD I used to upload onto my library must have been scratched, so I bought it on iTunes again. Really happy to listen to this music again :)
Overrated

By BrianSwaldi
Far from brilliant, the Pumpkins are overrated once again with this album. Siamese Dream features the same ole Pumpkins that you can find on pretty much any other SP album. Decent-to-good guitars and unintelligible/nasal vocals. Corgan's voice often sounds like a goat being castrated. Disarm and Today boast the clearest vocals on the album and they are also the album's best tunes - coincidence?
I'm definitely just a fair weather Pumpkins fan and not a deep-cuts kind of guy. In general, if their song has been on the radio I tend to like it. If it's not considered a hit I can't support keeping it in my library.
Overall this album is mostly just painful to hear minus 3 songs. Don't get me wrong, most songs have their moments, but those moments don't seem to last for a whole song save the 3 big hits. I can't justify keeping songs just for the occasional good guitar riff.
There are only two good songs on this album in Today and Disarm, and even they are still only 3 star quality. It's not good when "pretty good" is your album's best moment. Both Today and Disarm are top 5 Pumpkin's hits all time and they still only clock in at 3 star quality. There's only one other keeper on this album in Cherub and that is only 2 star quality. All the rest are throwaways. I'm not sure if "bloated" is the word to use here, but I do feel that this album could have been whittled down to a decent 5 track ep.
Best SP album

Yep you heard it here better than melon collie and infinite sadness. However, I do have a special place In my heart for Adore.

Look no further for the best and most complete Smashing Pumpkins album. Top to bottom this is the prime of what the band was. Must have. As good as any music from that time period. And better then the crap on the radio these days. Long Live the 90s.
The album that changed everything...

I can say for a fact that I really did not have much of a clue what truly great music was until I listened to this album. The first time I heard Cherub Rock I was absolutely stunned and blown away...I thought “I had no idea a guitar could sound like this!” I just knew I had to have more. This is my second favorite album of all time just behind Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness, but this album has a special place with me as the album that showed me what true greatness is. Top 5 tracks for me are...
5. Luna
4. Today
3. Disarm
2. Mayonaise
1. Cherub Rock
Amazing

This is an example of art in it's highest form. Excellent writing, recording, producing... the layering of sound is staggering and leads me through an ethereal, emotional journey.
