Adore is the fourth studio album by The Smashing Pumpkins, originally released in 1998 as the follow-up to their landmark double album Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness.
Moving away from the band’s signature guitar-heavy sound, Adore introduced a more intimate and atmospheric approach, blending alternative rock with electronic textures, piano, and acoustic instrumentation. The album reflects a deeply personal period for Billy Corgan, exploring themes of loss, relationships, and emotional upheaval.
Over time, Adore has come to be recognised as one of the band’s most unique and forward-thinking releases, capturing a transitional moment in The Smashing Pumpkins’ career and showcasing a different side of their songwriting.
