Released in 1998, Adore marked a bold and unexpected turn for The Smashing Pumpkins. Following the arena-rock grandeur of Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness, Billy Corgan stripped the band's sound down to its emotional core, embracing electronica, acoustic textures, and brooding atmospherics in ways that surprised fans and critics alike.
The result is a deeply personal and atmospheric record, shaped by themes of grief, vulnerability, and introspection. As AllMusic's Stephen Thomas Erlewine noted, Adore "illustrates the depth of the Pumpkins' sound," showcasing Corgan's willingness to subvert expectations and explore the quieter, more haunting dimensions of his songwriting craft.
