Adore is the fourth album by The Smashing Pumpkins, released in 1998.

After the multi-platinum success of Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness and a subsequent yearlong world tour, their follow-up Adore was considered “one of the most anticipated albums of 1998” by MTV.

Recording the album proved to be a challenge as the band members struggled with lingering interpersonal problems and musical uncertainty in the wake of three increasingly successful rock albums and the departure of drummer Jimmy Chamberlin. Frontman Billy Corgan would later characterize Adore as “a band falling apart.”

The result was a much more subdued and electronica-tinged sound that Rolling Stone magazine called “a complete break with the past.” The album divided the fan base and sold only a fraction of the previous two albums. 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.

More than 15 years after its original release, the Smashing Pumpkins’ Adore is released as a 180g Vinyl Double LP, remastered by Stan Getz, and features four sides of music instead of the original 3-sided album.

2 x Vinyl, LP, Reissue, Remastered.
