180g Vinyl Double LP! Mastered by Stan Getz!
Remastered from the Original Master Tapes!
Adore is the fourth album by American alternative rock band The Smashing Pumpkins, released in June 1998 by Virgin Records. 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 Greg Kot of 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 on 4-sided vinyl for the first time (previously released on 3-sided vinyl). This 180g Vinyl Double LP was remastered by Stan Getz and features four sides of music instead of the original 3-sided album.
