Psychedelic dream-rock meets alt-metal. Review: Before Nevermind , there was Gish . Billy Corgan, James Iha, D’arcy Wretzky, and Jimmy Chamberlin exploded from Chicago with a debut that married shoegaze swirls to hard rock thunder. Tracks like “Rhinoceros” and “Siva” show virtuosic restraint, while “I Am One” announces Corgan’s Napoleon complex via guitar heroics. Production by Butch Vig is pristine but raw enough to capture a band already too ambitious for their own good. Grade: 8/10 – An underrated cornerstone of early ‘90s alternative rock.
