Shownotes

Drum roll, please. We are back with Smashing Pumpkin's second album, Siamese Dream. Besides being one of the most intense guitar albums of all time, it's also one of the best and most distinctive sounding albums of the 1990s. Can Nick and Austin even come close to replicating it, or will they give up at the start? Plus, Nick admits to listening to a bunch of Rush, while Austin recounts his time with Boston.
