No soul

Why do rock bands always think it's OK to replace a drummer with a drum machine? Totally gives the music an antiseptic taste and provides no soul.
Perfection.

Started as fan for me

I already liked all the singles that SP put out over the years but this is the first album of theirs that I was really interested in buying and listening to as a whole when it came out. I was in college and the local radio station for LSU played "Ava Adore" and I was hooked and became a true all in pumpkins fan. This album is genius. I went back and collected their previous work and I have enjoyed everything the band and Billy Corgan has released since. Teargarden, Ziegiest and Oceania and Shiny & Oh so Bright and Monuments show the band is still putting out such great work and the depth of their creativity is astounding. The BC solo albums are beautiful and moving and the latest SP release CRY just shows the band is not slowing down experimenting and creating thought provoking music that takes you on a journey when you sit and digest the albums as a whole. Love this album for starting my journey.
One of Their Best

Adore showcases a more reflective Pumpkins. With Billy Corgan dealing with the death of his mother, a recent divorce, and the band's dismissal of drummer Jimmy Chamberlin, in many ways they all had to go back to the drawing board. Who were they going to be in the aftermath of the massive success of their previous album, Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness, and their present pain? On Adore, the Pumpkins are in top form lyrically and aren't afraid to plunge sad-yet-hopeful emotional depths. This is record deals with raw stuff and is a very important milestone in the evolution of the band. It's not as hard charging and rocking as earlier records, but life isn't always hard charging and rocking. Some some of my favorite songs they've ever made are on this album. I connected with them as a teenager back in the mid 2000s, but especially after the passing of my mother a few years ago, some of the songs take on a new significance. Great album.
