ADORE, THE SMASHING PUMPKINS (June 1998)

One of those perfect albums with no need for introduction. Beautiful music in a time of things uncertain for this band, probably one of their best work.

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. Billy Corgan would later characterize Adore as "a band falling apart."
