Album Notes & Community Reviews
Produced by Butch Vig, the Smashing Pumpkins' debut 'Gish' is a meticulously crafted, highly psychedelic fusion of 90s alternative rock and classic heavy metal. The band introduces a dense, melodic guitar assault that feels incredibly energetic, passionate, and subtly melancholic.
