The sweeping opening track of 2018’s Shiny and Oh So Bright, Vol. 1/LP: No Past. No Future. No Sunbears the hallmarks of vintage Pumpkins: Bill Corgan’s melodic whine, Jimmy Chamberlin’s formidable drumming, and the intricate layers of guitar courtesy of Corgan, original guitarist James Iha, and Iha’s one-time replacement Jeff Schroeder. Everything...
As complex as the band’s arrangements and conceits often are, the Pumpkins frequently hit paydirt when relying on Corgan’s ear for crafting simple melodies. “Set the Ray to Jerry” is that principle in practice, as a two-note guitar riff and constantly rumbling snares come together with Corgan’s plain, passionate declaratives (“I want you” and “I ne...
Corgan’s mother inspired plenty of animus throughout the Pumpkins’ catalogue, but none quite as conflicted and harrowing as the kind that fills the song sharing her name. Inspired by her passing, “For Martha” is an eight-minute dirge of gothic piano that bursts into a wave of crying, razor-edged guitars at its halfway point. At the height of it all...
The riffs on “Tristessa” are some of the most efficient the Pumpkins have ever crafted. With four simple notes, Corgan and fellow guitarist James Iha lay down a bouncing, whiplash guitar hook that’s strong enough to carry the song through its shattering conclusion, proving along the way that the band had two other weapons in their arsenal besides p...
Serving as a kind of thematic unifier for David Lynch’s Lost Highway soundtrack, “Eye” was Pumpkins fans’ first taste of the band’s post-alternative offerings, where the remnants of their baroque, neo-Victorian rock tastes met Corgan’s new obsession with Pro Tools. While that formula would meet with mixed success on the subsequent Adore, “Eye” rema...
In which the Pumpkins conclusively prove that great art comes from great pain. Purportedly on the verge of suicide, a desperate, perhaps somewhat deranged Corgan penned “Today,” a facetious, goodbye-cruel-world lullaby that, when draped in the band’s trademark cloak of mellow fuzz, becomes a triumphant middle finger to the crippling effects of depr...
There are many points on their 1991 debut, Gish, where the Pumpkins seem caught between their early metal influences (Black Sabbath, Judas Priest) and the art-rock band they ultimately aspired to be, but “Snail” isn’t one of them. The track is perhaps the most obvious foreshadowing of the ambitious plans Corgan had for his group: sweeping, unapolog...
Snuck between the lumbering “Bullet with Butterfly Wings” and the even more monstrous “Fuck You (An Ode to No One)” on Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness, “To Forgive” is a brief but solemn respite from Corgan’s encroaching demons. The use of slow, shuddering guitars and broken organs, a jangly collection of instruments that gradually breaks do...
Mellon Collie’s de facto opener captures the entire spectrum of the double album’s symphonic bravado. And yet it’s the quiet moments that make “Tonight, Tonight” such a great song, particularly the sad acoustic arpeggios of the verse where Corgan laments the untruths of time, like an aging man spying his face in the mirror and attempting in vain to...
Like their muses, the Pixies, the Pumpkins are virtuosos when it comes to dynamics, delivering both loud and soft parts in an elegant tandem for maximum dramatic effect. The high-tempo B-side “Frail and Bedazzled” displays the full range of their precision: Corgan sings high, and then low, then by himself with the music cut out, until all the guita...

- Disarm („Siamese Dream“, 1993) „Disarm“ vom zweiten Album ist einer der bis heute bekantesten und beliebtesten Songs, maximal emotional, wenngleich ihn die BBC ihn aufgrund des Texts (cut that little child/what I choose is my choice/the killer in me is the killer in you) auch aus dem Programm von „Top of the Pops“ verbannte.
- Siva („Gish“, 1991) Schon mit ihrem ersten Album setzen die Smashing Pumpkins ein Statement und festigten ihren typischen Sound. „Siva“ ist das perfekte Beispiel dafür, auch wenn es auch nur in UK und Australien erschien und die großen Hits erst viel später kamen.
- Cherub Rock („Siamese Dream“, 1993) Der Opener des zweiten Albums „Siamese Dream“ ist eine Wucht und war wohl auch aus diesem Grund 1994 für einen Grammy in der Kategorie „Best Hard Rock Performance“ nominiert, verlor allerdings gegen „Plush“ von den Stone Temple Pilots.
- Tonight, Tonight („Mellon Collie And The Infinite Sadness“, 1995) Kommen wir zum nächsten balladesken Herzschmerzsong und der dritten Auskopplung aus „Mellon Collie And The Infinite Sadness“.
