Adore= best album ever

A great album for those with heavy heart
, May 9, 2003Reviewer: Pdj79 - See all Pdj79's reviewsI have to disagree with the naysayers about this album. When this came out, the band was reeling. They lost their touring keyboardist to a drug overdose, and their drummer, who had battled these same demons years prior and had apparently overcome them, was partially responsible, showing the band that he cared more about the smack than the band. Firing a fellow band-member is no picnic, and this album shows it. The glaring absense of REAL drums in most of the songs, the hurt, the sadness, its all so encompassing. To anyone who has dealt with heartbreak, and to those who have a heavy heart now, this is your swan song. Each song is delicate, yet structured. Was it the classic SP sound everyone knew? No. Was it bad? Hell no. This is a great album, and ranks high on my all-time classics list. ...

Pro Reviews: Adore
| EXPERT RATING: From AMG Reviews Left without a drummer after Jimmy Chamberlin's dismissal, the Smashing Pumpkins took the opportunity to revamp their sound slightly -- which is what Corgan claimed they were going to do on their fourth album, anyway. Adore however, isn't a drastic departure. Using dream-pop ballads and the synthetic pulse of "1979" as starting point, the Pumpkins have created a hushed, elegiac album that sounds curiously out of time -- it's certainly an outgrowth of their previous work, but the differences aren't entirely modern. Whenever synthesizers are added to the mix, the results make the band sound like a contemporary of the Cure or Depeche Mode, not the Aphex Twin. That's not necessarily a problem, since Adore creates its own world with layered keyboards, acoustic guitars, and a rotating selection of drummers and machines. There's none of the distorted bluster that cluttered Mellon Collie and none of the grand sonic technicolor of Siamese Dream. Adore recasts the calmer moments of those albums in a sepia tone, in an attempt to be modest and intimate. Only Billy Corgan would consider a 74-minute, 16-track album a modest effort, but compared to its widescreen predecessors, it does feel a bit scaled-down. Still, Corgan's ambitions reign supreme. This is no mere acoustic album, nor is it electronica -- it is quiet contemporary art-rock, playing like a concept album without any real concept. Its very length and portentousness tend to obscure some lovely songs, since all the muted production tends to blend all the songs together. But even with its flaws, Adore is an admirable record that illustrates the depth of the Pumpkins' sound, even if it ultimately isn't a brave step forward. - Stephen Thomas Erlewine, All Music Guide |

Pros: everything
Cons: nothing
I'm a heavy industrial-goth enthusiast, but The Pumkpins worked for me. When Adore came out, I was at ease with myself. They had done it, broken past the barriers, that they built themselves, of "Bullet With Butterfly Wings," and "Cherub Rock," and made incredibly beautiful and industrial, and most importantly, dark songs like, "For Martha", "Pug", and my favorite, "AVA Adore".
