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. Billy admitted in his blog to taking “copius quantites of ecstasy” when beginning writing demoes for the album at his home after the Mellon Collie tour.
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.”

This album is a total masterpiece. I pulled out my CD copy of this and notice that the disc is pretty scratched. A testament to the amount of times I played this album over the years (before last.fm) :)

Behold! The Nightmare is probably their best song if you ask me... what a great album! Long time without listening and wow, it aged so much better than the other ones. Billy should be more focus in doing something like this and not trying to imitate gish and siamese dream as he's trying to do lately so desperately.

i remember when this album came how a friend of mine who liked the pumpkins equally as me was giving them shit for TEITBITE saying they were sounding like the prodigy, yet liked 'eye'...and hated this album. i can only wonder if he finally came around to see the album was actually very good.

as much as I love this album, i always feel that had the songs been recorded similarly to their live arrangements, it would be widely considered to be one of the best albums of all time.
