Album Notes & Community Reviews

Following massive rock success and internal turmoil, 'Adore' is a muted, highly electronic, and incredibly melancholic shift for The Smashing Pumpkins. Billy Corgan channels themes of grief and lost love into somber, gothic-tinged dream pop, relying on drum machines and deeply atmospheric synthesizers.
