Absolutely- came here to say this. The crazy production is exactly how Corgan and Butch Vig got that saturated, compressed but massive sounding distortion that's all over that record. One of my favorite albums.Siamese Dream

The end of this one off the '92 Toto album 'Kingdom of Desire' always made me laugh, in a self-gratifying over-the-top sorta way. I'm sure he did the same.
Someone had to say it. Impressive technique? Absolutely. Sterile and robotic/lifeless? Absolutely.On the other hand... the overly-compressed, sterile and guitar-straight-to-desk sound that many "modern" guitarists like the guys from Polyphia and Manuel Gardner Fernandes, etc... use. Boy, do I hate that sound! even if the playing is really impressive and gotta give them props for pushing the envelope, the robotic, lifeless quality of the sound just irritates me.
I agree 100% all that robotic sounding 10-finger tapping into a "desk" tone sounds like a water damaged robot and they all sound the same to meOn the other hand... the overly-compressed, sterile and guitar-straight-to-desk sound that many "modern" guitarists like the guys from Polyphia and Manuel Gardner Fernandes, etc... use.

Funny note: They have never played that ending live.
Never apologise for love!I didn't know they toured much of that album...the solo on Jake to the Bone is a masterpiece imo, and She Knows the Devil is a fun one as well. My music teacher in grade school was a huge Lukather fan so he would show us all these amazing guitar songs that mostly flew under the radar. He was also the DJ when we'd have school dances, and he played "2 Hearts" from that album at our dance in 1995, which was when I first danced with the girl I had a crush on then. 21 years later I ended up meeting her again and we still dance to that song
Sorry for the sappy love story. back to the guitar nerd talk!
