''Siamese Dream'' is the second album by the American alternative rock band The Smashing Pumpkins, released on July 27, 1993 on Virgin Records. The album fused diverse influences such as grunge, shoegazing, dream pop, heavy metal,〔 and progressive rock. Despite recording sessions fraught with difficulties and tensions, ''Siamese Dream'' debuted at number ten on the ''Billboard'' charts, and eventually sold over four million copies in the U.S., and over six million worldwide, cementing The Smashing Pumpkins as an important group in alternative rock music. Four singles were released in support of ''Siamese Dream'': "Cherub Rock", "Today", "Disarm", and "Rocket". In addition to receiving mostly positive reviews upon its release, ''Siamese Dream'' has widely been regarded as one of the best albums of the 1990s, and one of the best albums of all time.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Siamese Dream )〕 In 2003, ''Rolling Stone'' magazine ranked it number 362 on their 500 Greatest Albums of All Time list. == Background ==
The band's debut album, ''Gish'', was released on Caroline Records in 1991 to unexpected success and acclaim. After the release of Nirvana's ''Nevermind'' later that year, The Smashing Pumpkins were hyped as "the next Nirvana". The band was signed to Caroline Records parent Virgin Records and began recording a follow-up album. Frontman Billy Corgan felt "this great pressure to make the next album set the world on fire". The immense pressure to succeed intensified an already problematic situation: drummer Jimmy Chamberlin was undergoing an increasingly severe addiction to heroin, guitarist James Iha and bassist D'arcy Wretzky had recently ended their romantic relationship and Corgan, aside from battles with weight gain and suicidal depression,〔 was suffering from his worst-ever bout of writer's block.
