The 4th studio album by the smashing pumpkins, and my nr°1.
Adore is the Pumpkins' only album to date not to feature original drummer Jimmy Chamberlin and it marked a change in sound for The Smashing Pumpkins; Greg Kot of Rolling Stone magazine noted that the album "isn't just a transitional record; it's a complete break with the past."
Not many bands break with the past with such grace and style...
Their previously layered, guitar-oriented sound was largely replaced by a quieter and more electronic influenced sound, and incorporated drum machines and synthesizers. Which doesn't sound good when written down like that, but wait until you hear the album... They get away with it..

Just look at those songs... Normally I don't love many songs on one cd... usually I love one or 2 and like the others... With Adore I love almost all of them... and I extremely like the other songs.
I just like the melancholic sound this album has.. And the piano..
Anyway, here's some music:
Hope you guys enjoy !
