'''''Gish''''' is the debut studio album by [[The Smashing Pumpkins]], released in May 1991 through [[W:Caroline Records (US)|Caroline Records]]. Frontman [[Billy Corgan]] has variously described ''Gish'' as a "very spiritual album" and "an album about spiritual ascension".<ref name="caro">{{cite news |title=Smashing Pumpkins Finds a New Home at Caroline Records |work=Chicago Tribune |date=December 28, 1990 |last=Caro |first=Mark}}</ref>
Despite initially peaking at only number 195 on the [[:Category:Billboard 200 albums|''Billboard'' 200]] upon its release, ''Gish'' received positive reviews from critics, and was eventually [[:Category:United States (RIAA) certifications|certified]] platinum (one million copies shipped) by the RIAA. On April 1, 2019 ''Rolling Stone'' magazine ranked ''Gish'' the 32nd greatest grunge album of all time.<ref>[https://www.rollingstone.com/music/music-lists/50-greatest-grunge-albums-798851/smashing-pumpkins-gish-1991-798891/].</ref>
== Recording ==
''Gish'' was recorded from December 1990 to March 1991 in Butch Vig's [[Smart Studios]] in Madison, Wisconsin with a budget of $20,000.<ref name="patch">{{cite news |title=Out of the Patch for Smashing Pumpkins |work=Chicago Tribune |date=June 21, 1991 |last=Kot |first=Greg}}</ref> Vig and Billy Corgan worked together as co-producers. At the time, Vig was still a relatively unknown producer.<ref>https://www.billboard.com/articles/columns/rock/7386036/the-smashing-pumpkins-billy-corgan-gish-at-25-classic-track-by-track-look-back</ref> The longer recording period and larger budget were unprecedented for Vig, who later remembered,
<blockquote>(Corgan) wanted to make everything sound amazing and see how far he could take it; really spend time on the production and the performances.  For me that was a godsend because I was used to doing records for all the indie labels and we only had budgets for three or four days.  Having that luxury to spend hours on a guitar tone or tuning the drums or working on harmonies and textural things&nbsp;... I was over the moon to think I had found a comrade-in-arms who wanted to push me, and who really wanted me to push him.<ref name="eq">{{cite journal |title=Signal to Noise: The Sonic Diary of the Smashing Pumpkins |work=EQ Magazine |date=October 2008 |last=Thomas |first=Richard}}</ref></blockquote>


The inclusion of a massive production style reminiscent of [[W:Electric Light Orchestra|ELO]] and [[W:Queen (band)|Queen]] was unusual for an independent band at the time.<ref name="eq"/> Whereas many albums at the time used drum sampling and processing, ''Gish'' used unprocessed drum recordings, and an exacting, unique guitar sound.<ref>{{cite journal |title=Fuck Off&nbsp;... We're From Chicago! |work=Spiral Scratch |date=January 9, 1992 |last=Jones |first=Nick}}</ref> Billy Corgan also performed nearly all of the guitar and bass parts on the record, which was confirmed by Vig in a later interview.<ref name="eq"/>
"'''Now (And Then)'''" is a song from [[Billy Corgan]]'s debut solo studio album, ''[[TheFutureEmbrace]]''.


The album's sessions, lasting 30 working days, were brisk by Pumpkins' standards, largely because of the group's inexperience.<ref name="eq"/><ref name ="mtv">''[[w:MTV|MTV]] Rockumentary: Smashing Pumpkins''. Aired 1995/10/17.</ref> The recording sessions put an intense strain on the band, with bassist D'arcy Wretzky later commenting that she did not know how the band survived it, and Corgan explaining he suffered a [[W:Nervous breakdown|nervous breakdown]].<ref name ="mtv"/>
{{cquote|1=This one's just really sad -- some fucked up, weird tale of teenage isolation that never really happened to me. It's a sad devotional about willing to be hurt and consumed by someone. At first the song had a different feel and I was ambivalent about it. Perhaps it was a bit too Pumpkins for me right now. Then Bon said he really loved the song, and thought it was the best thing we'd worked on. He said, "Mind if I fuck it up for you?" So then I went away, came back and thought what Bon had done was really beautiful. Then the whole song clicked for me.|author=Billy Corgan|source=[[w:SheKnows Media|SheKnows Media]] interview, August 2005}}


Regarding the album's thematic content, Corgan would later say,
== Lyrics ==
<blockquote>The album is about pain and spiritual ascension. People ask if it's a political album. It's not a political album, it's a personal album.  In a weird kind of way, ''Gish'' is almost like an instrumental album—it just happens to have singing on it, but the music overpowers the band in a lot of places. I was trying to say a lot of things I couldn't really say in kind of intangible, unspeakable ways, so I was capable of doing that with the music, but I don't think I was capable of doing it with words.<ref name = "mtv"/></blockquote>

what's left of mine
i used to find
pennies crushed on tracks

==Songs==
now and then
"[[I Am One]]", "[[Rhinoceros]]", "[[Daydream]]", and "[[Bury Me]]" were previously recorded as demos by the band in 1989. All four songs were re-recorded for ''Gish''.
i could be a friend
i could be a friend
now and then
now and then to you
i could be a friend of use
so hide me when you go
back amongst the reeds


The following songs were written and recorded for ''Gish'' but did not make the final cut:
cable coils
* "[[Blue]]" (released on ''[[Lull]]'' and ''[[Pisces Iscariot]]''. A demo version appears on the 2011 Deluxe reissue of ''Gish'')
around my neck
* "[[Obscured]]" (originally a B-side on "[[Today]]", re-released on ''Pisces Iscariot''. This version could be a re-recorded version according to Billy Corgan's notes about this song on ''Pisces Iscariot'')
whatever's best
* "[[Slunk]]" (released on ''[[Lull]]'')
it seems insane to me
* "[[Why Am I So Tired]]" (released on ''[[Earphoria]]'' and on the 2012 Deluxe reissue of ''Pisces Iscariot'')
can't escape the family tree
* "[[Jesus Loves His Babies]]" (A rough mix was released on the 2012 Deluxe reissue of ''Pisces Iscariot'')
roots are buried deep
* "[[La Dolly Vita]]" (originally the B-side to "[[Tristessa]]", re-released on the 2012 Deluxe version of ''Pisces Iscariot'', and a slightly different mixed version on the Deluxe reissue of ''Gish''.)
deep as you can climb
* "[[Pulseczar]]" (released on ''[[Earphoria]]'' and released on the 2012 Deluxe reissue of ''Gish''.)
i'll do
* "[[Smiley]]" (released on ''[[Peel Sessions]]'' and a demo version appears on the 2011 Deluxe reissue of ''Gish''.)
i could be a friend to you
* "[[Crawl]]" (released on the 2012 Deluxe reissue of ''Pisces Iscariot''.)
* "[[Purr Snickety]]" (released as a "B-Sides Session Outtake" from the Gish sessions on the 2012 Deluxe reissue of ''Pisces Iscariot''.)

now and then
The album was named after silent film icon [[W:Lillian Gish|Lillian Gish]]. In an interview, Corgan said, "My grandmother used to tell me that one of the biggest things that ever happened was when Lillian Gish rode through town on a train, my grandmother lived in the middle of nowhere, so that was a big deal&nbsp;..."<ref name ="caro"/>  Later, Corgan joked that the album was originally going to be called "Fish", but was changed to "Gish" to avoid comparisons to jam band [[W:Phish|Phish]].<ref>Corgan, Billy.  Caller Q&A.  Rockline Radio Show.  Broadcast 1998/07/13</ref>

''Gish'' was met with largely enthusiastic reviews. On the month of its release, Chris Heim of the ''Chicago Tribune'' credited producer Butch Vig for helping the band achieve a "clearly defined" and "big, bold, punchy" sound for the album. Heim also indicated that the varied styles of the album would be a good addition to the alternative music culture of Chicago at the time—a culture that was sometimes perceived as inaccessible for new bands.<ref>{{cite news |title=Caroline Records releases Smashing Pumpkins' 'Gish' |work=Chicago Tribune |date=May 31, 1991 |last=Heim |first=Chris |page=S}}</ref> Jon Pareles of ''The New York Times'' picked up on the eclectic mix of musical style on ''Gish'' as well, complementing its "pummeling hard rock", "gentle interludes", and "psychedelic crescendos".<ref>{{cite news |url=https://query.nytimes.com/gst/fullpage.html?res=9D0CE7DC1338F937A25752C1A967958260 |title=Review/Pop; A hyperactive evening with the Chili Peppers |work=The New York Times |date=November 14, 1991 |accessdate=February 21, 2011 |last=Pareles |first=Jon}}</ref> In an end-of-year recap of 1991 releases, Heim noted that the album constituted a "smashing local success story" for the Chicago area.<ref>{{cite news |title=Ringing in the new year with something for every taste |work=Chicago Tribune |date=December 27, 1991 |last=Heim |first=Chris |page=Q}}</ref> [[w:Greg Kot|Greg Kot]], also of the ''Tribune'', called ''Gish'' "perhaps the most audacious and accomplished" of all 1991 albums released by local bands;<ref name="patch"/> in an article later that year, Kot listed the album among the best of 1991.<ref>{{cite news |author=Kot, Greg |title=The best albums of '91 rock music: finding greatness on the fringes |date=December 1, 1991 |work=Chicago Tribune |page=16}}</ref> ''Rolling Stone'' called it "awe-inspiring" with "meticulously calculated chaos" and a "swirling energy".<ref>{{cite journal |title=Meticulously Calculated Chaos |work=[[w:Rolling Stone|Rolling Stone]] |date=August 8, 1991}}</ref>


Many substantive reviews of ''Gish'' emerged only with the 1993 release of ''Siamese Dream'', when mainstream critics took their first look into the back-catalog of a band whose popularity was exploding. Derek Weiler of the ''Toronto Star'' noted that songs on ''Gish'' contained "either galloping riffs or trippy feedback hazes" and that the latter were especially effective and entertaining.<ref>{{cite news |title=Smashing followup: Siamese Dream keeps Pumpkins in front of the alternative brigade |work=Toronto Star |date=August 26, 1993 |last=Weiler |first=Derek |page=C8}}</ref>

In 1992, ''Gish'' and the Smashing Pumpkins earned recognition at the Chicago Musician Awards, for which local music publication ''Illinois Entertainer'' polled readers and Chicago music industry figures such as critics, writers, and club owners. In separate polls, readers and industry figures chose ''Gish'' as the "best local album".  [[Jimmy Chamberlin]] and [[James Iha]] won individual honors for their performances on the album, and the band as a whole earned the "best hometown national act" award.<ref>{{cite news |title=Smashing Pumpkins triumph in Chicago Musician Awards |work=Chicago Tribune |date=July 24, 1992 |last=Stevens |first=Mary |page=K}}</ref>
