Rank/report card: The Smashing Pumpkins - Adore

[halo19]

I thought I'd revive a topic about one of the most underrated releases. I see why people hated it & all, but still, this is one of my fav. albums of all-time. Even better on headphones.

1. Ava Adore
2. Perfect
3. Behold! The Night Mare
4. For Martha
5. Appels + Oranjes
6. Tear
7. Pug
8. To Sheila
9. Annie-Dog
10. Crestfallen
11. Once Upon A Time
12. The Tale of Dusty and Pistol Pete
13. Daphne Descends
14. Shame
15. Blank Page/17

I think the reason Adore bombed commercially is not so much because it wasn't a good album (it's a great record) - but because it wasn't what people expected from the Pumpkins. Exactly the same thing happened to Pearl Jam with No Code when they got a bit experimental.
