About this album
Adore is the fourth studio album by American alternative rock band The Smashing Pumpkins. Virgin Records released the album on June 2, 1998 in the United States. Adore is the Pumpkins’ only album not to feature original drummer Jimmy Chamberlin. Adore marked a change in sound for The Smashing Pumpkins; Greg Kot of Rolling Stone magazine noted that the album “isn’t just a transitional record; it’s a complete break with the past.” Their previously layered, guitar-oriented sound was largely replaced by a quieter and more electronic influenced sound, and incorporated drum machines and synthesizers. For the release, the band shed their alternative hipster image for a more subdued Gothic look.
Despite being called “one of the most anticipated albums of 1998” by MTV. Adore sold only 1.1 million copies in the U.S., far below the Pumpkins’ previous albums Siamese Dream and Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness. However, the album was well received by critics, and became the third straight Pumpkins album to be nominated for the Grammy Award for Best Alternative Music Performance. Billy Corgan would later characterize the album as “a band falling apart.”

A clearly underrated album. The album is a unity and expresses harsh emotions, in which you get sucked into. One of the most beautiful albums ever made.

I have never had a album speak so deeply into my heart as Adore. This is a album full of teenage/young adult-angst straight from the heart of Billy, and I can relate to that. I think that you have to have experienced those emotions yourself to fully understand this album...and I don't mean that in a disrespectful way.

If I were to have a top 3 Smashing Pumpkins albums, Adore would be on there. It's so amazing. I can't help by feel a bit sad for the poeple who don't 'get it'.

I think I actually like this album best (of theirs). My two favorite tracks ("Cherub Rock" and "Zero") are on different albums, but I like the overall tone of "Adore". It's hard to describe in words.

billy's voice stands out INCREDIBLY well in the vinyl version, but the rest of the music seems a little... mute, somehow.

never really understood why this album wasn't a hit...corgan seemed so comfortable with these songs...i hope he stops this nonsense of trying to be the king of noisy uitars again and get back to this kind of mood...

Every bit as wonderful as all the rest of the Pumpkins albums. I can't think of a better compliment than that. This is utterly gorgeous.
