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, follow-up Adore was considered "one of the most anticipated albums of 1998" by MTV.[1] 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.[2] Frontman Billy Corgan would later characterize Adore as "a band falling apart".[3]

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".[4][dead link] 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.[5] After a brief tour and promotional window, Chamberlin rejoined the band and work began on a new album, Machina/The Machines of God.

Contents

Background

The Smashing Pumpkins had cemented their place as a cultural force with the multi-platinum Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness.[6] Already sensing the limits of their guitar-driven hard rock sound, the band had started to branch out during the making of Mellon Collie, and, after the chart-topping success of the electronic-leaning "1979",[7] the band zeroed in on electronica.[8]

As the sprawling and massively successful Infinite Sadness tour wound down, Billy Corgan found himself facing many difficult issues, including musical burnout, the absence of his "best friend and musical soul mate in the band" Jimmy Chamberlin, the end of his marriage, and the death of his mother to cancer.[9]

In this period, the band released two new singles on movie soundtracks—"Eye" and "The End Is the Beginning Is the End". Both songs incorporated electronic elements, yet retained the hard rock elements of the band's previous material; one reviewer called the two singles "balls-out, full-energy chargers" and wrote off the Pumpkins' previous remarks that the upcoming album would "rock" less.[10]

However, the new album material Corgan was writing consisted mainly of simple acoustic songs.[9] Corgan, James Iha, D'arcy Wretzky, and Matt Walker spent a few days in the studio in February 1997 laying down demos mostly as live takes, and the band hoped to quickly record an entire album in such a manner.[9] Corgan, hoping to maintain the band's progressive rock-inspired experimentation, soon had second thoughts about this approach and began envisioning a hybrid of folk rock and electronica that was at once "ancient" and "futuristic".[9]

Recording

After playing several festival dates in summer 1997, the band began working at a variety of Chicago studios with producer Brad Wood—with whom Corgan previously had worked in the early 1990s.[11] While Mellon Collie had mostly been recorded with the full participation of all of the band members, the band dynamics during the new sessions soon muddled as Corgan, uninspired by his bandmates, worked mostly alone.[9] Wood, too, was leaving Corgan unsatisfied, so, after six weeks in Chicago, the band—minus Wood and Matt Walker—relocated to Los Angeles and started work at Sunset Sound, with Corgan now the de facto producer.[9][12]

Due to Jimmy Chamberlin being fired from The Smashing Pumpkins, Soundgarden drummer Matt Cameron was one of several percussionists brought into the studio to record with the band

The band rented a house, and hoped that living communally would foster good relations and a happier recording environment.[13] According to Corgan, Iha refused to live in the house and rarely visited.[13] The recording sessions continued to be slow-moving and heavily technical.[14] In the absence of a drummer, the band used a drum machine as it had in its earliest incarnation.[13] The band also enlisted Joey Waronker, of Beck's band, and Matt Cameron, of Soundgarden and Pearl Jam, for a few songs each.[15][16] Bon Harris of Nitzer Ebb contributed electronic sequencing and sounds to eight album tracks, with the band giving him mostly free rein.[17]

At the behest of the band's management, Rick Rubin was brought in to produce one song, "Let Me Give the World to You", but the song was left off the album, later to be re-recorded for Machina II/The Friends & Enemies of Modern Music.[18] With around thirty songs recorded, Corgan began to see an end, and enlisted Mellon Collie co-producer Flood to help finish the recording, pull the album together, and mix the songs.[14]

Art direction for the album is credited to Frank Olinsky, Billy Corgan, and Corgan's then-girlfriend and frequent collaborator Yelena Yemchuk. The artwork for the album and its singles consisted almost entirely of black-and-white photographs shot by Yemchuk, many of which featured model Amy Wesson.[19]

Music

Corgan was deliberately setting out to widen his band's sound and message, explaining that he was not "talking to teenagers anymore. I'm talking to everyone now. It's a wider dialogue. I'm talking to people who are older than me and younger than me, and our generation as well."[12]

Distorted guitars and live drums, the previous hallmarks of the Pumpkins sound, took a back seat in a sonic palette that included much more synthesizers, drum programming, acoustic guitar, and piano.[4] At least five songs on the album are driven chiefly by piano,[4] while the track "Appels + Oranjes" contains only electronic instruments and Corgan's vocals.

"Tear" was written for the Lost Highway soundtrack, but was rejected by David Lynch in favor of "Eye".[20] "Pug" was originally recorded as a "minor key blues death march" with drums by Matt Cameron, while the album version uses drum programming.[18] The only song on the album to feature Cameron, "For Martha", is a tribute to Corgan's mother that was primarily recorded as one live take.[14]

Apart from being the first album without Jimmy Chamberlin, Adore was the first album to not include writing contributions from James Iha,[19] who was concurrently working on his solo album Let It Come Down. However, he did contribute the track "Summer" to the "Perfect" single.[19]

Aside from "Let Me Give the World to You", the hard rock song "Cash Car Star" was left off the album, also later to surface on Machina II/The Friends & Enemies of Modern Music.

Promotion and release

The lead-up to Adore was marked by conflicting statements as to the album’s sound—Corgan initially said the band was heading in the direction of the heavy-metal-guitar-and-electronic music-driven "The End is the Beginning is the End" in summer 1997,[21] while the band's management reported the album would be all-acoustic.[22] In early 1998, Corgan called the sound "arcane night music",[23] elaborating, “The people that say it's acoustic will be wrong. The people that say it's electronic will be wrong. The people that say it's a Pumpkins record will be wrong. I will try to make something that is indescribable".[24]

Adore was released on June 1, 1998 in most of the world, the same day the video for first single "Ava Adore" premiered. The album booklet and music video showed off the band's new gothic look. The second single, "Perfect", was also accompanied by a music video, which debuted on August 16.[25]

An Evening with The Smashing Pumpkins

After the marathon Infinite Sadness tour, the band embarked on a scaled-back 36-date world tour entitled An Evening with The Smashing Pumpkins to support Adore.[26][27][28] Abroad, the Pumpkins played at what had been called an "eclectic mix of interesting venues",[29] among them the rooftop of a FNAC record store in Paris, France,[30] in the botanic gardens of Brussels, Belgium,[31] at the Cannes Film Festival,[32] and at an International Shipping Harbor in Sydney, Australia.[33] In the United States, the Pumpkins donated 100% of their ticket profits to local charities[34] (yet one stop on the tour, Minneapolis, was a free concert and under estimated the attendance of the show).[35] In the end, the Pumpkins, with the help of their fans, raised over $2.8 million in this manner.[36]

The lineup was the most expansive yet, including former John Mellencamp and Melissa Etheridge drummer Kenny Aronoff,[37] percussionists Dan Morris and Stephen Hodges, and David Bowie pianist Mike Garson.[38] Violinist Lisa Germano was also set to appear,[39] but did not ultimately appear in the touring line-up. The set was mainly Adore material, with only a handful of reworked Mellon Collie songs and no songs from prior to 1995, eliminating many of their radio hits and fan favorites.[28]

Reception and aftermath

Critical reception to Adore was generally positive. Greg Kot of Rolling Stone magazine regarded Adore as "the most intimate album the Pumpkins have ever made and also the prettiest, a parade of swooning melodies and gentle, unfolding nocturnes."[4] Ryan Schreiber of Pitchfork Media described the album as "the Pumpkins' best offering since Siamese Dream."[10] Stephen Thomas Erlewine of Allmusic described Adore as "a hushed, elegiac album that sounds curiously out of time," though he noted that the album "ultimately isn't a brave step forward."[40] Most recently[when?], Adore was considered one of "an inspiring range of 25 classic alternative American albums" by The Guardian.[41] The lyrics received particular praise from critics—Jim DeRogatis of the Chicago Sun-Times, who in 1993 had criticized Corgan's lyrics as "too often sound[ing] like sophomoric poetry",[42] said Corgan "took a big leap forward as a lyricist" starting with Adore.[43] Schreiber, who criticized Mellon Collie as "lyrical rock-bottom",[44] called Adore's lyrics "poetic", particularly singling out "To Sheila".[10] Greg Kot emphasized the "oblique, private longings, and weighty, sometimes awkward conceits" in the lyrics,[4] while David Browne of Entertainment Weekly called them "unsettled and unsettling."[45] The contributions of Wretzky and Iha also received praise, with Kot noting that "Iha's quirky guitar accents and Wretzky's unflashy resolve [. . .] give Adore a warmth and camaraderie no other Pumpkins album can match."[46]

Despite this, public reception to Adore was lukewarm.[47] Adore entered the Billboard album charts at number two with 174,000 units of the album sold,[48] and was certified platinum by the RIAA five weeks later,[49] but the album soon departed the charts, leaving Adore far short of the sales figures of its predecessors. Two additional promotional singles, "Crestfallen" and "To Sheila", were released to radio stations but failed to gain traction and were never released as commercial singles.[12] Promotion for Adore finished by the end of 1998, in contrast to the 2 year touring and promotion schedule for Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness.

Corgan initially blamed fans for the failure,[50] then himself, saying that he "made the mistake of telling people it was a techno record" and that if he "would have told everyone Adore was the Pumpkins' acoustic album we would have never had the problems that we had."[51] By the end of 1998, Corgan, who would later call the making of Adore “one of the most painful experiences of my life”,[13] was already writing material for the band's next album, and Jimmy Chamberlin was readmitted into the band.

As of May 2005, Adore has sold 1.1 million units in the U.S., and at least three times as many copies worldwide.[46]
