Smashing Pumpkins - Adore
Virgin/Caroline 7243 8-45879-1 USA 1998
Sleeve: Still Sealed
 Vinyl : Unplayed

Of all the major alternative rock bands of the early '90s, Smashing Pumpkins were the group least influenced by traditional underground rock. Lead guitarist/songwriter Billy Corgan fashioned an amalgam of progressive rock, heavy metal, goth rock, psychedelia, and dream pop, creating a layered, powerful sound driven by swirling, distorted guitars. Corgan was wise enough to exploit his angst-ridden lyrics, yet he never shied away from rock star posturing, even if he did cloak it in allegedly ironic gestures.

In the wake of drummer Jimmy Chamberlin's departure, the Pumpkins took a giant step away from the grunge-flavored, turbo-powered alt-rock anthems that made them famous. On Adore, Billy Corgan and company opt instead for a more scaled-down approach that relies heavily on acoustic instruments and ballads of love and longing.Corgan may still be expressing angst here, but he does it in an understated, romantic way, addressing matters of the heart with subtlety and maturity on tunes like "Shame" and "To Sheila."

Original 1998 US 15-track three-sided mono vinyl double LP, pressed for limited UK release, gatefold picture sleeve. This copy has remained factory sealed from new in the original custom stickered shrink.
