1995 - Pulp - Different Class (Deluxe Edition 2006) @320
There was only one winner in the Britpop Wars: Pulp. They were in a Different Class….
Different Class (originally released October 30, 1995) is Pulp's most successful album, achieving multi-platinum sales and international acclaim, winning the 1996 Mercury Music Prize and debuting at number one on the UK Album Chart. It also produced four Top Ten singles, including ‘Common People’.
Four months prior to the release of the album, the band headlined the Pyramid Stage at Glastonbury Festival on Saturday 24 June. Four months prior to the release of the album, the band headlined the Pyramid Stage at Glastonbury Festival on Saturday 24 June. To celebrate the 30th anniversary of what is widely regarded as one of the best records of the era, this legendary Glastonbury performance, the audio wholly restored and released here for the first time, has been paired with the remastered album and is released as a 2CD boxset.
The audio has been remastered/mastered by Geoff Pesche at Abbey Road, overseen by Jarvis Cocker and Mark Webber, and the discs are housed in a Digi-sleeve with 28-page booklet featuring extensive notes from new interviews with the band members, plus previously unseen images from photographers Rankin and Donald Milne (who took the photos for the original release) and the band’s own archives.

More than any other band that ascended to alternative rock royalty in the 1990s, save for probably Pearl Jam, Smashing Pumpkins wore their classic rock influences proudly. Sabbath and Zeppelin heavily influenced their first record, Gish, and their 1995 double-album Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness was patterned after Pink Floyd’s The Wall. And “Cherub Rock,” according to Corgan’s own track commentary on the Deluxe Edition of Siamese Dream, borrows liberally from Rush. In fact, go through any Pumpkins lore through the ages, and while you’ll read as much about Corgan’s fondness for Depeche Mode or Sonic Youth, he scarcely hesitates to mention the titans of classic rock. Other bands, like Soundgarden for instance, definitely borrowed pretty obviously from Zeppelin and Sabbath, but were less honest about it at the time.
When considering all this, it shouldn’t be a surprise that Siamese Dream is the most massive album of the grunge era. The other big Butch Vig-produced album of the ’90s (not to limit to two), Nirvana’s Nevermind, has become more legendary, but Siamese Dream, which consumes all the space that one CD or two LPs will allow, is simply colossal. For one other notable influence on the band was My Bloody Valentine, whose own Loveless, for all its studio mastery, still likely contained fewer guitars than this. So with the ambition of the stadium rock of the ’70s, and shoegazer density, Corgan layered guitar on top of guitar, fuzzbox on top of fuzzbox. He took on the challenge of squealing thrift-store guitars on “Mayonaise,” constructed a city-sized anthem on “Cherub Rock,” and went back to pure abrasion on “Silverfuck,” just to show off.
As much as Siamese Dream was the product of chasing an elusive, immaculate pop ideal, it also proved the catalyst for some serious turmoil within the band. A pretty massive chunk of the album was performed by Corgan alone, though every song features Jimmy Chamberlin’s drums (thankfully – they’re some of the best in rock history). At one point, D’arcy Wretzky actually quit the band. James Iha essentially ended his friendship with Corgan, though he stayed in the band. Chamberlin ended up in rehab during the recording sessions, and would disappear for days at a time. It’s the stuff Behind the Music was made for. Despite everything falling apart behind the scenes, however, the record itself is absolutely perfect.
Corgan wanted to make his big, shiny pop record, and that’s essentially what he got, no matter how much fallout ensued in the process. It’s not a pop record by Top 40 radio standards, necessarily, though it did produce a few definite hits in the suicide referencing “Today” and anguished abuse narrative “Disarm.” It’s a rock record, first and foremost, a monument to the Olympian power of guitars, dense, explosive and ready to consume anything within a 100-foot radius. That it’s also a very pretty record is what sets it apart from much of the starting lineup of the early ’90s grunge all-star team. “Mayonaise,” a shoegazer ballad co-written by Iha, forgoes some of the band’s aggression for a fuzz-drenched ballad. “Soma,” which bears another Iha writing credit, is the psychedelic power ballad, swirling like bulbous forms in a lava lamp. And “Today,” erupting with heavy, crunchy riffs, is as glossy and tender as the band comes, no matter how hard they’re rocking out.
A lot of the bonus material packaged with Siamese Dream‘s deluxe version speaks to Corgan’s reputation as a perfectionist, in that the songs that never made it to the album, while good, are clearly not of the same caliber. “Pissant,” “Hello Kitty Kat” and “Frail and Bedazzled,” which all ended up on Pisces Iscariot in some form or another, all made for great b-sides. The demo versions of “Luna” and “Today” really only hinted at the potential within the songs in their rough forms. That said, the BBC performance of “Quiet,” though considerably rawer than the album version, has a compelling visceral intensity. And though I initially found the band’s cover of Depeche Mode’s “Never Let Me Down Again” disappointing, something about it struck me as much more appealing more than 15 years later. (Treblezine)
