The band's story begins in 1988 when Billy Corgan (vocals, guitar) and James Iha (guitar) met while attending the University of Chicago. They recruited D'arcy Wretzky (bass) and Jimmy Chamberlin (drums) to complete the original lineup. The Smashing Pumpkins self-released their debut album, Gish (1991), which gained moderate attention but laid the groundwork for their future success. Skip here for completionists
Political hard rock, return-to-form posturing. Review: The reunion (Corgan + Chamberlin, new bassist Ginger Reyes) arrives with clenched fists. “Doomsday Clock” and “Tarantula” are satisfyingly angry, but the songwriting is one-note. Corgan’s lyrics trade vulnerability for vague anti-Bush slogans. Missing D’arcy and Iha’s melodic grounding, the album feels like a Corgan solo project with better drumming. Not bad, but forgettable. Grade: 5/10 – Loud but hollow.
