Billy Corgan constructed the instrumentation by playing almost all the guitar and bass parts himself. He layered these takes to build a dense and psychedelic wall of sound during the 1991 recording sessions.
Butch Vig handled the production duties, utilizing a crisp and punchy approach. The resulting record blends heavy metal riffs with shoegaze textures, documenting the band as they transitioned within the alternative scene of the early nineties.
