Gish (+DVD)

€ 26,99

Arriving several months before Nirvana's Nevermind, Smashing Pumpkins' debut album, Gish, which was also produced by Butch Vig, was the first shot of the alternative revolution that transformed the rock & roll landscape of the '90s. While Nirvana was a punk band, Smashing Pumpkins and guitarist/vocalist Billy Corgan are arena rockers, co-opting their metallic riffs and epic art rock song structures with self-absorbed lyrical confessions. Though Corgan's lyrics fall apart upon close analysis, there's no denying his gift for arrangements. Like Brian May and Jimmy Page, he knows how to layer guitars for maximum effect, whether it's on the pounding, sub-Sabbath rush of ''I Am One'' or the shimmering, psychedelic dream pop surfaces of ''Rhinoceros.'' Such musical moments like these, as well as the rushing ''Siva'' and the folky ''Daydream,'' which features D'Arcy on lead vocals, demonstrate Smashing Pumpkins' potential, but the rest of Gish falls prey to undistinguished songwriting and showy instrumentation. [The album is heavily expanded in this 2011 Deluxe Edition -- packaged in a foil-encrusted mini-box containing a remastered version of the original album, a second CD consisting largely of unreleased rarities, a DVD containing a concert from Chicago?s The Metro in 1990, a booklet with new liner notes by David Wild and song-by-song commentary for the original by Billy Corgan, plus some postcards on top of it all. Much of the bonus disc relies on demos that wind up underlining the Pumpkins? roots in ethereal late-?80s college rock -- ?Daydream? and an original version of ?Crush? called ?Hippy Trippy? shimmer on cascades of echoed guitars; the acoustic demos of ?Blue? and ?Smiley? are delicate -- but when the production gets bigger or if the performances switch to the stage, amplifiers are revved up, with the Peel Session of ?Siva? and a Netherlands radio performance of ?Snail? creating a considerable impression. The early Sub Pop single of ?Tristessa?/?La Dolly Vita? is given a new mix by Butch Vig, underscoring that this Deluxe Edition is not a clearinghouse of rarities -- a role 1994?s Pisces Iscariot filled quite nicely -- but rather a gift for fans who want to dig deep into the Smashing Pumpkins archive.] ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine
