Just beautiful. Simply one of the best deluxe editions I've had the pleasure of owning. Of course, the original album is flawless: it continues to be one of my very favorites of all time, even after hundreds of listens. The songs, Butch's production, Billy's lyrics, the flow, and that legendary bumble bee guitar tone are undeniable. And, thank the lord, the 2011 remastered edition sounds even better than ever. It's a huge improvement over the other recent re-releases that are unfortunate casualties of the loudness war (Pearl Jam's "Ten", and Nirvana's "Nevermind" instantly come to mind). The quiets are quiet, and the louds are loud, as they were meant to be. The bonus disc is filled with interesting tracks that help build an understanding into the making of SD. Bedroom demos, rehearsal demos, and alternate recordings are a pleasure for diehard fans. The live DVD is well filmed, sounds great, and features an outstanding performance by SP. The packaging is beautiful, including postcards for each track, insightful liner notes, and a beautiful holographic re-imagining of the cover art. This is a release that is essential for Pumpkins fans, a deluxe edition that does justice to the iconic album.… Expand

Easily the greatest album of all time.

The Pumpkins couldn't get along: James Iha and D'arcy had just broken up, Chamberlin was hugely addicted to heroin, and Corgan was depressed and suicidal. Consequently, Corgan spent most of his time in the studio laying down most of the tracks for this album. Being a perfectionist, Corgan's multilayered guitar parts (heavily influenced by Loveless - "Rocket" and the second half of "Soma" could easily be found on that record) became so intricate and difficult that at the end of the outro to "Silverfuck" you can hear Corgan saying, "Okay, this take... I don't give a fuck From the triumphant "Cherub Rock" to the jam in "Hummer" to the hard rockin' guitar parts in "Geek USA" to the greatest alternative rock song of all time "Mayonaise," Siamese Dream contains everything a Pumpkins fan could ever hope for: hard rock, softer alt rock, pop sensibility, perfection.… Expand

This reissue is absolutely perfect. There's nothing more I could ask for from one of my favorite records. The bonus tracks are all great, and rare. The remaster sounds better than ever. And the DVD is phenomenal. The DVD really captures what their live sound was like when Siamese Dream was released. Everyone that loves this record needs to pick up the deluxe and vinyl.

Has to go down as one of the greatest rock ablums of all time. I do prefer it's follow up MCATIS but this is as close to flawless as you can get. The remastered version is even better than the original. The sound quality is amazing and the extra disc of material is great for the hardcore SP fans. Today, Cherub Rock and Disarm are up there with some of the best rock singles to have ever been released but the great thing about this record is the albums tracks are just as good and in some case better. Luna, Geek USA, Mayonaise and Soma would all get on any rock album from the 90's… Expand

I was waiting for this day, a remastered, deluxe version of The Smashing Pumpkins classic. Full of extras. Siamese Dream is kinda of like King Crimson's "In Court Of Crimson King" full of surprises. Only Billy Corgan crafts poppier, more listener friendly songs. We all know Kurt Cobain was a genius and driving force behind Nirvana, but Dave Grohl isn't too bad neither. That can't be said about the rest of the Pumpkins, without Corgan they are nothing. Billy wrote, played, produced and perfected this album basically on his own. From what I understand he played all instruments except drums - including guitar solos. I didn't notice that much of the difference in sound, after re-mastering. Maybe it's because SD already sounded great. The b-sides are all new here with few exceptions. STP, Siamese Dream, Moleasskiss, Ache, USA, and USSR I heard for the first time and they are good additions. Overall, a treasure for every fan.… Expand

A very properly Deluxe Edition. Fresh and blunt riffs and unrepeatable tunes, the 13 tracks of the albums works as catchy as evocative. The 2nd CD proves the Pumpkins were in a state of grace that could reach never again after 90 's.

This is there best album or second best either way it is amazing all the songs are great they are just either songs you jam to or songs you can just think about the world and space out into a true musical nirvana which is siamese dream
