The Smashing Pumpkins "Gish (35th Anniversary)" LP

• The Smashing Pumpkins’ 1991 debut, recorded with Butch Vig
• Heavy riffs, psychedelic guitar passages, and Jimmy Chamberlin’s restless drumming; 35th-anniversary, 180-gram LP
• For fans of: Dinosaur Jr., Jane’s Addiction, My Bloody Valentine, early Soundgarden

Before Siamese Dream made them a much bigger band, Gish introduced the Pumpkins through the tension between weight and delicacy. “I Am One” and “Siva” hit hard, but “Rhinoceros” lets its guitars drift before the distortion arrives, and “Crush” and “Daydream” show how quiet they could become. Chamberlin’s drumming is crucial throughout, giving Billy Corgan’s layered guitars a fluid, unpredictable foundation. The ten songs already contain much of the sound the band would spend the next decade expanding.

“sounds really great when played super loudly”

— Analog Planet, reviewing the 35th-anniversary LP
