Sorry for the reupload y'all me and the copyright owners are still beefing. Hopefully this one stays up. The sound for Spaceboy and Silverfuck are completely replaced sorry :( If scarpola9 comments under this post he's getting blocked.
That little riff at 5:09 of Soma is my favorite of all time. Still gives me goosebumps 1,000 listens later. The Siamese Dream guitar tone is one of the greatest ever conceived in my opinion. It sounds "sonic," like it's on a rocket shooting through outer space.
hell yes this album is essential 90s alt rock recs: Dead Kennedys - Fresh Fruit For Rotting Vegetables The Jimi Hendrix Experience - Electric Ladyland Belle And Sebastian - If You're Feeling Sinister
Agreed. MCIS is my personal favorite out of their discography. They've been my favorite rock band since 93, and MCIS is the soundtrack to my adolescence.
@@kb_78 I'm definitely jealous. 😂 I didn't see them for the first time until the Machina tour (I was about 16-17). I saw them again in San Francisco for the first reunion show in 2007, after their 7 year hiatus. I've met everyone but D'arcy. I met Billy twice, but I'd trade it all to have been able to see them during the MCIS era.
@@GhostlyEcheveriaMachina tour was fire though. I have been going to shows still when they are near. I’ve gone to over 22 SP/Zwan shows. My highlight is I won a ticket through the SP official site to go to NYC to see the live recording of VH1 Storytellers. It was incredible to say the least.
In my top three favourite albums of all time. This one is special to me personally. Their ability to craft fuzzy epics, romantic love songs and catchy hits is unrivaled. The three song run from Soma to Mayonaise is one of the best three song runs of all time, in my objective opinion. Billy Corgan is a vastly underrated guitarist. The soloing on this album is absolutely mind blowing, I implore anyone who plays guitar to try and learn how to play Geek USA. It's baffling. Also, the drummer, Jimmy Chamberlin, a jazz drummer by education, is widely regarded as one of the best drummers alive, so he's really the key, along with Billy. Them two practically made this album by themselves in the studio, partly due to the fact that Billy was an absolute control freak and he wanted everything to be perfect, which the other guitarist and bass player didn't appreciate so much, but hey, the product speaks for itself. Anyway, thanks for the reaction 👍🏻
I think saying it sounds like a Nirvana x MBV lovechild is very astute. Nirvana and The Pumpkins are connected in ways. They were popular at the same time, both Billy Corgan, and Kurt Cobain dated Courtney Love. There was probably a bit of rivalry there, but still very different bands. The Pumpkins weren't officially considered grunge, but they definitely incorporated aspects of grunge into their music. And while they weren't really considered shoegaze at the time, they are considered to be on the spectrum of the genre now. The Pumpkins have been my favorite rock band for over 30 years now, and I still get goosebumps every time I listen to their music. Also, Soma and Mayonaise are two of the most beautiful rock songs ever written.
nicee glad you liked it, fall is definitely the season to listen to The Smashing Pumpkins. You gotta review Melon collie and the infinite sadness someday, it's a long one tho. Some recommendations: Death Grips: The Money Store Pixies: Surfer Rosa George Clanton: Ooh Rap I Ya The Pillows: Happy Bivouac PilotRedSun: Achievement
Love your reactions man! You should try some Frank Zappa. It’s a much different experience listening to his music and I think it’s worth a shot. I’d recommend either “Hot Rats” or “Apostrophe”. Keep up the good work!
So glad you finally got around to this album. One of my favorites. It's funny because it isn't considered shoegaze but it clearly has many shoegaze elements to it. I think one of the guys from slowdive was asked what his favorite shoegaze album was and he said this one. But yeah. amazing album front to back. Would love to hear you do their followup to this Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness sometime. Also one time when I was 14 I went to Deep Ellum in Dallas for Halloween(it's where all the music venues are) and I saw Billy Corgan(the lead singer) waling down the sidewalk with like 5 or 6 bodyguards and the bodyguards were just pushing people onto the street and Billy was laughing. So love the music but he is a douchebag. Anywayyyyy Recommendations! Oneohtrix Point Never - R Plus Seven(ON GOD, you will listen to this someday ON GOD) Lil Ugly Mane - Volcanic Bird Enemy and the Voiced Concern(but maybe listen to this first?) Arca - Kick I-IIIII(Five crazy albums, it'll be an adventure, trust me, I'm a trustworthy guy)
Billy is a known fan of shoegaze, for their album Gish they were already inspired by My Bloody Valentine. When asked about the song Daydream, Billy said he wanted to recreate a My Bloody Valentine song. So there's that
luna has me staring at my reflection for hours in the mirror contemplating if i’m real or not. you should do more king krule for sure like man alive or the ooz you’ll definitely enjoy them both either way.
Such an amazing album, 2 more quick recs "40oz. To Freedom" by Sublime is another amazing fast pace skapunk 90s album, tons of hits youve probably heard but the whole thing is really fun Also since halloween is coming up, "Mr. Bungle" by Mr. Bungle is a trip, the band that would inspire Slipknot, its in your face, sometimes funky, ska, hard, just weird. theres no words but its a fun one
@@smags1082i listened black star after the rise and fall and i wish i listened to it after i listen to heroes low and station to station instead of before :(
Would love to see you check out some mewithoutYou dude…specifically the album Brother, Sister. And as always, more Animal Collective would be amazing 🍻
I love Siamese Dream. Smashing Punpkins were for me the bridge from MBV to Deftones. Have you reacted to the latter? Anyway what I'd like to see in the channel is Laurel Halo. Peace.
I went through a Smashing Pumpkins faze wheb i was a bit younger but would say ive mostky moved on from them. I would say their first album, 'Gish' would be my favorite. While i find the lead singer a bit annoying and self absorbed, i must credit the bands diversity and willingness to take chances with new sounds on each album. I'd likento recommend cut copy - bright like neon love. They're a very chill electronic band and I think youd enjoy them. Id also like to recommend The Blaze - Jungle. This came out this year and its my personal album of the year. Very chill electronic duo. If you don't review these I don't know who will. Youre my only hope🎧
I was a sophomore in high school when it came out. The guitars in this album blew my mind. I had no idea guitars could sound like this. Spent hours listening to this album

@@MinhQuanNguyen-ku5rj Corgan was allowed to use that sample if he never disclosed where it came from.
What is the song on spaceboy I beg you
Mayonaise is a play on the phrase "My own eyes"
If smags was my hooters waiter I wouldn’t be able to control myself

yes the guitar sound is so magical its unreal like a dream.
Mayonaise is legendary
@@Clem.H.Fandango. it's for sure in my top 3

recs:
Dead Kennedys - Fresh Fruit For Rotting Vegetables
The Jimi Hendrix Experience - Electric Ladyland

Seconding Fresh Fruit... was integral in getting me into punk. Full of social commentaries that are still relevant today
Belle and Sebastian. Such an amazing band. I really love Piazza New York Catcher, and If She Wants Me.
@@GhostlyEcheveria It would be a cool reaction as it's rare and I think he'd enjoy it.
You have to do their follow up album to this one Mellon Collie And The Infinite Sadness. Masterpiece.
Yess plsss
Agreed. MCIS is my personal favorite out of their discography. They've been my favorite rock band since 93, and MCIS is the soundtrack to my adolescence.
@@GhostlyEcheveriaMost Definitely. I saw them twice on the MCIS tour when I was 17 ish. Siamese Dream and MCIS/Aeroplane Box was my life soundtrack.

This album is always in the conversation with one of the best albums to come out of the 90s👍👍
Hummer, Soma, Geek USA and Mayonaise are so triumphant as is the entire album. Good stuff, Smags!
This is one of my favorite albums ever, I saw them live in August and I almost cried when they started to play Today. Love this thing to pieces
Volume goes right up on for first lead guitar part on hummer. Majestic song one of my all time favorites.
Damn, sorry about the copyright stuff. You're killing it with the reactions. Where yo at with swans, it'd be dope to see you terrified by The Seer
I see that you have apparently gotten your hands on my CD collection!
Thoroughly enjoy watching these videos, great stuff! :D
Seems like the perfect time of year for some good old pumpkins. Perfect time of day for a Smags video, too!
That solo on Cherub Rock is ahead of its time. Incredible, jarring sound.

A bazillion listens in, "Soma" is my current favorite
Been listening to SP for over 30 years. I love to see that younger people are appreciating it too. This is amazing. Carry the torch!!
2:24 bro knew it was gonna be a banger

REALLY enjoyed listening to your take on each of these songs, a half-hour well spent!
The Holy Bible by the Manic Street Preachers, you'll dig it dude, its a crazy journey

Some recommendations:
Death Grips: The Money Store

Lil Ugly Mane - Volcanic Bird Enemy and the Voiced Concern(but maybe listen to this first?)

Billy is a known fan of shoegaze, for their album Gish they were already inspired by My Bloody Valentine. When asked about the song Daydream, Billy said he wanted to recreate a My Bloody Valentine song. So there's that
Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness is their best album, it's definitely a rollercoaster
Mayonaise is simply one of the best songs ever recorded.
one of the greatest albums ever
Daughters - You Wont get what you want is the perfect halloween album
Too bad Alexis is a monster
gotta do girl with a basket of fruit by xiu xiu for halloween, genuinely one of the freakiest pieces of music out there
Also this is their best album in my opinion, so beautiful
My fav album so pumped to watch this!!
This is in my top five albums of all time. Hummer, Soma, Geek U.S.A., and Mayonaise are my four favorites.
luna has me staring at my reflection for hours in the mirror contemplating if i’m real or not. you should do more king krule for sure like man alive or the ooz you’ll definitely enjoy them both either way.
Pisces Iscariot is there b-side album. Highly recommend it especially since you liked the softer songs on this album.
My favorite SP album.
Such an amazing album,
2 more quick recs
"40oz. To Freedom" by Sublime is another amazing fast pace skapunk 90s album, tons of hits youve probably heard but the whole thing is really fun

I screamed when I saw this, this album means so much to me
Minutemen - Double Nickels on the Dime
“The Boy Who Used to Was” could be the name of an SP track
Gotta recommend Low by David Bowie again
Ngl I wanna do blackstar so bad but ppl tell me to do it last
@@smags1082 you gotta do all the great ones first then do black star as an epic closer
@@smags1082i listened black star after the rise and fall and i wish i listened to it after i listen to heroes low and station to station instead of before :(
@@smags1082yeah you should listen to some more Bowie before that. Low is my favorite from him to be fair.
glad you talked about the bells
i cannot forgive the bells
their next album is pretty good too, actually it's probably better as long as the personal least favorite 15 tracks are removed
If you like the softer songs you’re gonna LOVE their follow up “Mellon Collie and The Infinite Sadness”
You know what... despite my gripes about Billy's voice. Listening to this album for the 1st time, the sound is top notch.
Billy's voice is awesome bruh
It grows on you
Fitting band to listen to in Halloween season.
Recommendation: PUP - The Dream is Over
highly second this, PUP are so fucking sick
Would love to see you check out some mewithoutYou dude…specifically the album Brother, Sister. And as always, more Animal Collective would be amazing 🍻
Census Designated by Jane remover, need to see your reaction to some of those breakdowns
Love this album, I’ve mentioned it before but try and add Suede’s 1993 debut album to your poll.
Smagsing Pumpkins!!
Great seeing a kid react to this album the same way i did back on the early 90s.
I love Siamese Dream. Smashing Punpkins were for me the bridge from MBV to Deftones. Have you reacted to the latter?

Hummer is my favorite track
Would love a reaction to High Violet by The National (tracks: Terrible Love - Vanderlyle) the only album I think come close to In Rainbows
Seconded👍🏾
Masterpiece album.
Pls react to Mellon Collie and The Infinite Sadness, their next album. Its my favourite album of all time.
Talking about '90‘s rock...Gentlemen by the Afghan Whigs. And the obligatory TooL reaction.

Yo, you don't understand what this album was to those who grew up with it. This soundtrack in your brain made you emotionally indestructible.
I was a sophomore in high school when it came out. The guitars in this album blew my mind. I had no idea guitars could sound like this. Spent hours listening to this album
Totally unrelated but some PJ Harvey might be a nice idea, think you'd like her.
I second this. I just did a video ranking all her albums. She's flawless.
Tool - Lateralus
Perfect from now on when?
