There were high expectations after the surprise success of their debut, \u003cem\u003eGish\u003c\/em\u003e, and the sudden rise of \u003ca href=\"http:\/\/turntablelab.com\/search?q=Nirvana\" target=\"_blank\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNirvana\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e. The recording sessions were fraught with drummer \u003cstrong\u003eJimmy Chamberlin's\u003c\/strong\u003e drug addiction, the breakup of guitarist \u003cstrong\u003eJames Iha\u003c\/strong\u003e and bassist \u003cstrong\u003eD'arcy Wretzky\u003c\/strong\u003e, and reports of \u003cstrong\u003eBilly Corgan's\u003c\/strong\u003e tyrannical behavior.

In the end, the album was finished after four months and $250,000 over budget. The resulting record was more lush and ornate than other alternative records at the time. There were endless layers of guitars on the majority of the songs which created a sense of endless sonic depth. It was well received by critics and fans alike, with some going so far as to say The Smashing Pumpkins had created a whole new sound.
