In 1993, i was on summer vacation, on the shores of Ocean City, NJ........at night my BF at the time, and I would play this album on the beach, I knew it was awesome then...but all these years later this album is still so far ahead of its time. we were listening to history being made. God i miss being 15 and not having a care in the world....these kids have no clue
I was 19 when this album came out, and blown away is an understatement. I couldn't believe music could be this beautiful. I literally could not take this tape out of my walkman! I'm very particular in the sense than I didn't like any of the Pumpkins next offerings. Anyway,this is a piece of my life and i think rock doesn't get better than this...
I'm a guy. I'm 16. It's 2011. I turn 17 in December.
One of my biggest wishes in the whole world right now is to have grown up during the 60's, 70's, 80's or early 90's. I can just imagine the life of running around outside. No internet, no mobiles, no artificial living on Facebook. I know I can't say what it was like exactly. I haven't experienced it, but goddamn I wish I had.
If songs like this played on the radio, and not mainstream 21st century crap, I would be living.
This was the first album I owned. Met my first boyfriend at this concert, then later when we broke up and I was like utterly heartbroken I remember lying down listening to this song and it just took all my pain away. Awesome music.
@trugamer128, Green Day's Dookie was released in 1994. I'm assuming that is the album you are talking about by first album. Kerplunk was 1992. You also couldn't get Nirvana's Nevermind until 1991. Sorry to be the one to burst your bubble, but I had to do it.
@pippigladstone. read next sentence of the comment smart guy. and I am aware that there was other stuff before Kerplunk as well, but practically nobody outside of their local punk scene would have heard that prior to 1994. the comment I was replying to was somebody claiming to have nirvana's nevermind and green day's "first album" in 1990. Not possible
I used to listen to 89x with my radio and a clean tape just waiting untill smashing pumpkins came on to record them ;) then i just bought the cd when i had earned enough money. was in like 6th grade when this came out
I used to listen to 89x with my radio and a clean tape just waiting untill smashing pumpkins came on to record them ;) then i just bought the dam thing
it was great back in the day, hanging out listening to smashing pumpkins and all the other timeless bands. Forgive me but i get all teary eyed when I think back to those great times.
Heyy People, Smashing Pumpkins are kick-ass. Im 15 myself and looking back at music back in the day makes me think like "Gosh, music actually meant something back then" But now "CRAP" Childhood looked fun back then too. Peace and Fun. Now not to much of either.
This is one of those albums that defined high-school for me. Bong hits at lunch then art class and the potters wheel. My girlfriend at the time was Lisa, she was a treat. The production value of this album is superb. Thick, layered brutality delivered on a wisp of cotton.
@kittensarethereason I remember....... "anyone caught in a ruse of fools" hit me like a damn,,,,,, i don't need to wax philosophic do i...huh. i do want to say congrats on past and future soul shaking experiences. Try Hendrix's Axis: Bold As Love in the headphones. Honestly there are only a handful of songs that I can say have THAT place ya know...anyway there's another "strictly headphone grade genius". You will be changed as I was.......remember the parameters though. lol. You're awesome.
if you haven't experienced this song alone late night while the world is asleep with headphones cranked, knowing everything outside of your head is quiet and dark and dead.....then you should schedule that appointment. the secret of the universe is yours.
Id trade everything to spend a week in the 90's again. When this album came out I was 14. The music was good and not over produced like it is now. Every fucking song wasn't about bling or sex or drugs or etc. The music was a lot mote genuine, and better yet thats what we all wanted. Nowadays it's crap like Keisha or whomever the new "created" artist is and people just accept it as good music. Theyre fooling you!
@vaileyguy I love 90's music as much as the next person (The Smashing Pumpkins are my favourite band) but to say that there is no good music around nowadays is just so ignorant...I mean you can't judge an entire generation just by listening to one Justin Bieber song!
It's kinda lame that everyone on here is going on about how they wish they could have been a teenager in the 90's because of the music...if I could go back to any era I would choose the 70's, EASILY the best decade for music!
Also will everyone going on about how bad the 00's were for music please STFO and go listen to The Strokes.
pumkins rule feel this song in the pit of your stomach been listening to them in scotland over ten year now tuned all my techno head m8s into them ha ha they had no choice you dont like the music you no were the door is raver boy
pumpkins rule feel this song in the pit of your stomach been listening to them in scotland over 10 years a tuned some of my techno head m8s into a few of there songs years back ha ha they had no choice if you dont like the music you know were the door is raver boy
@imnosferatu pumkins rule feel this song in the pit of your stomach been listening to them in scotland over ten year now tuned all my techno head m8s into them ha ha they had no choice you dont like the music you no were the door is raver boy

@tiberius5000 The thing is my generation doesn't have peace, we've been at war with some country (it changes) since I was born. The economy is in a depression and on the verge of collapse, so there is no prosperity either. I live in northwestern PA, so I'm stuck with idiots going on about either Jersey Shore, Justin Bieber, or how the '80s were so great, even though the '80s have the exact same problems and conditions of today.
@tiberius5000 I think the thing that made it amazing was the fact that you could grow up then not worrying about things like internet and mobile phones. You were happy with just how things were--even with those lame old house phones. :)
I actualy was 18 the first time i saw them live, here in Portugal. It was in Cascais, near Lisbon, in 1995. We were great fans, but that show shall be forever embedded in our minds, respect! It was insane! Crazy! Demented! One of the best shows of my life!!!

Moving, majical, tragic..and sad. The ending of a relationship..and all the pain. Hes had enough..and needs to move on.When he sings..I Didn't want to lose you once again...is a very real fear for him.
omgs lolz i thut this ewas kesha or usher or blink 182 or my chemical romance where am i dudez wtf they dont sing about being a slut or boys or sex or 24 inch rims wtf?!?! lolz dis song makes me feel like im being made love to by sexy aliens in their spacecraft and I love it ;o)
@itiswilliam exact same shit here too lol. i used to listen to them a lot growing up with my dad and somehow drifted off then now i can't stop listening to them =O
@361Wickedclown Yeah, there's a very addictive quality about the Pumpkins. I can't speak about the recent stuff, because I've heard little of it, but the 90s material is amazing.
Corgan put a LOT of work into the guitar tracks for this album, obviously. He was taking a big risk on that since back in the early '90's it definitely wasn't considered cool among the ahem, "alternative rock" demographic to be an unabashed guitar geek. But, unlike seemingly the majority of that crowd getting most of the attention at the time, Corgan could actually play, and even shred with the best of them when he felt like it.
@thegreatauk01 i think u have big mental problems wich are consequence of ur growth problems. it's just obvious u didn't have ur room when u where a kid.
This song kept me alive through months of depression when my best friend and mentor passed away..I still cry when I hear this song and think about him...
Everytime I hear this song I cry...you see...I was born in 1993...therefore in my high school years (2007-2011) I had to deal with idiot kids listening to shit music...
God how I wish I could be a teen in the early 90's..
@MajorKoenig2 dude i totally agree, i just really wanted to grow up with easy going songs like this in the 90's, but instead grew up in the 00's and went to school with a bunch of dickheads who love kesha and usher, your not alone bro
@MajorKoenig2 same man. all my friends call blink 182 and my chemical romance real rock, call bands like the pumpkins crap, and it does my head in. if i manage to build a time machine, i'll contact you. =D
Yep..I dont mind if you listen to your shitty breaking benjaman or whatever...but when you call the Pumpkins shit just because all youve heard is 1979 on the radio then FUCK you.
i wasn't quite born in 93'; a few years before then actually, but i do have to agree my high school years consisted of people with horrible music tastes. Siamese Dream was and still is one of my favorite albums.
I am also from the 93 and i fully understand our generation music issues, and have thought that i would freaking love to have born 5or 6 years earlier
@MajorKoenig2 ... I was lucky enough to be born in 1978 and I grew up on all this music in high school... I feel bad for the kids today with all shit music... I am so happy I grew up with this music!!! Still love it at 32!!!
@pjcampisi I envy you so much..even worse is that Im going into the Army in June (basic training and infantry school at ft benning, GA). People in the military now a days listen to even shittier music than kids these days..ive NEVER found a good military tribute on youtube with GOOD music...
@MajorKoenig2 Well what ya gonna do.. that's life and music changes all the time.. Be safe in the Army... I have a lot of friends over in the Middle East... Listen to the music on your I POD!!!! I was lucky enough in high school at a party or ours cars this is all we listened to!!! Pearl Jam, Nirvana, ETC!!!!
@MajorKoenig2@MajorKoenig2 ... I was lucky enough to be born in 1978 and I grew up on all this music in high school... I feel bad for the kids today with all shit music... I am so happy I grew up with this music!!! Still love it at 32!!!
This was THE best time for music IMO. I was about 13 when this album came out and it along with Green Day, Nirvana, Alice in Chains, Stone Temple Pilots, and a few others...very much influenced my life and outlook on music. Good Times..
@MajorKoenig2 Don't wish your life away...there is good music out there today. You just have to dig a little deeper. Look who won the Grammy for best Album this year? That wasn't so hard, now was it? (I was 13 when this album came out, and I admit, it was awesome)
@MajorKoenig2 I was a teen in the early 90s and I can assure you it wasn't much different back then. I'm from a small town with small town mentality, lots of idiot kids who liked cheesy crap and a few odd kids who listened to stuff like this. That's what makes it better though, I liked the fact this wasn't the mainstream.
@badboyrhythmdub I don't know what you were doing in the 90's but I personally was going to rock gigs and raves and having a blast. Rock is dead now RIP
@MajorKoenig2 this album was strong though. i wasn't exactly a teen in the early 90s but when i was, 1997-2001, this album and band was still very popular with all my friends. two bands that burned in my brain were these guys and Pixies.
@MajorKoenig2, oh god, I feel your pain. I was born in 1990, so my high school years (2006-2009), I too had to deal with all that crappy music everyone seems so obsessed with... It's pathetic.
I would give anything to be a teen in the early '90's...
@MajorKoenig2 it was amazing i was 15 when this came out bands like these and nirvana shaped music while today its almost mocking it you truly did miss out on an era when the most of the truly new sounds were coming to life, it was amazing :)
@MajorKoenig2 it was amazing i was 15 when this came out bands like these and nirvana shaped music while today its almost mocking it you truly did miss out on an era when the most of the truly new sounds were coming to life, it was amazing :)
Damn. Thank you for posting, this was the first cd i ever owned, got it for christmas when i was 12 in 1993 and it changed me forever, what an epic song and album.
I know that's silly, but this theme reminds me to someone who makes me feel different to others. Someone who is always on the highs or downs, I don't how but he really made me felt in love with this song. Thanks smash. pumks for wrotte this one!
Probably wouldn't have survived my high school years without this beautiful song. . .
It perfectly captures all of the feelings of apathy, loneliness, disappointment, hope, lethargy, and confusion of losing one's childhood in one of the most caustic environments for a developing soul.
@TruGamer128 totally with you there mate :) espicially this song, brings back so many good memories chilling in the summer, finding love, knowing theres no problems what so ever. and like how this song ends those memories just fade away in the back of my head being floated on the sea of tranquility.
I was 14 years old when this album dropped, I remember Me and my friends listening to Siamese Dream and The first Green day album , and lets not forget another new band at the time...Nirvana. I wouldn't trade my teen years for anybodies! It was an indescribable time to be young then...the word "epic" doesn't even begin to explain the awesomeness of those days..Glad you appreciate true artists like these..They don't make em like this anymore.
@TruGamer128 Those are the exact three bands Ilike to listen to today, Wish I could have been 14 when those albums came out. Im 12 now, and the "music" produced these days is horrible.
@TruGamer128 I was 14 in 2001, but my friends and I all listened to Siamese Dream, Gish, In Utero, Superunkown, Ritual De Lo Habitual, and all the other classics of the 90's. We were seriously robbed of good music man....we had fucking linkin park and the barbie song
@TruGamer128 Understood, my friend. I had the first Nirvana and Green Day records in 1990, and I lost myself in them, just, in love. I purchased a copy of Nevermind on the day it was released, on cassette. I carried my copy around with me, playing it for anyone who was willing to listen to the music. That era, from 1989 to 1993, is a Golden Era for rock music, in my opinion. I love that you had that rapture, embracing the music and celebrating life.
I love this song. Probably favourite off the album.
It's safe to say not all of the new generation listen to bad music - I'm 15 and rock music's my life. Grunge and Alt Rock are the best.
And, yeah, of course, most kids listen to crap music, I'm just letting you lot know that there's some hope left for our generation.
This album blows my mind. =)

I actualy was 18 the first time i saw them live, here in Portugal. It was in Cascais, near Lisbon, in 1995. We were great fans, but that show shall be forever embedded in our minds, respect! It was insane! Crazy! Demented! One of the best shows of my life!!!

@hundhun17
Corgan put a LOT of work into the guitar tracks for this album, obviously. He was taking a big risk on that since back in the early '90's it definitely wasn't considered cool among the ahem, "alternative rock" demographic to be an unabashed guitar geek. But, unlike seemingly the majority of that crowd getting most of the attention at the time, Corgan could actually play, and even shred with the best of them when he felt like it.

I wouldn't trade my teen years for anybodies! It was an indescribable time to be young then...the word "epic" doesn't even begin to explain the awesomeness of those days..Glad you appreciate true artists like these..They don't make em like this anymore.

@TruGamer128 Understood, my friend. I had the first Nirvana and Green Day records in 1990, and I lost myself in them, just, in love. I purchased a copy of Nevermind on the day it was released, on cassette. I carried my copy around with me, playing it for anyone who was willing to listen to the music. That era, from 1989 to 1993, is a Golden Era for rock music, in my opinion. I love that you had that rapture, embracing the music and celebrating life.
