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.”

This and Siamese Dream give a nice contrast of the variety of their work.

just listened to this and siamese dream back to back. funny enough, this turned out to be one of those nostalgic, dark, and pretty albums that i fall for, so this right now is my fave so far.

@thR_enody first thing that comes to mind is Deerhoof. They are generally a LOT less depressive and a lot more experimental than this album but they have quite a few synth-y tracks and have the same shoegaze-influenced origins. While I am here, Deerhunter's Mircocastle is another good option and as with anything Pumpkins My Bloody Valentine's Loveless should go without saying. Any other suggestions? my tastes are fairly limited!

Are there any other albums that sound like this? I know you'll want to say "no", but seriously, I'm in love with this album and NEED to find more music that sounds like this.

The Holy Trinity of Siamese Dream, MCIS & Adore is such an amazing body of work... Adore is probably the best of the three IMO

I've never heard anything quite like 'Adore' before, and I doubt I ever will. Not better than Siamese Dream in my opinion, but it has some incredibly beautiful moments of near-perfection.
