Adore (1998) marks a departure for The Smashing Pumpkins, showcasing a darker, more introspective sound that blends alternative rock with electronic and acoustic elements.
Featuring tracks like “Ava Adore” and “Perfect,” the album explores themes of loss, love, and vulnerability. Stripped of their usual bombast, Adore highlights the band’s experimental side and emotional depth, offering a bold and hauntingly beautiful chapter in their discography.
