tbh Adore was kinda overstuffed as it was

70+ minutes, and it's not like they were any strangers to having high-quality b-sides

Leaving off Let Me Give the World to You was a pretty obstinate move though, they should have worked something out

Album is overlooked in general imo, this is growing on me the the point that i'd place it right behind MCIS/SD.

Blissed and Gone would've been top 3 on here tho

it would have been better than some of the tracks that made it but I don't think it tops most the "sibling tracks" it would have had on here (Nightmare, Martha, Blank Page)



Adore was my favorite Pumpkins record when I first got into the band, my favorite bands at the time were Depeche Mode and Primal Scream so it kinda made sense - these days it's prob my 4th or 5th fav though I still (cough) adore it

Goddamn this could've been a 4.5 if he put Blissed & Gone as track 17 as intended

"Once Upon a Time" is like an even better version of "In the Arms of Sleep"... which is already a 4/5 song as is

what i love about that 17 story is how Rick Rubin was about as useful as Keanu Reeves in that studio session

Hell, Keanu has a band, maybe we woulda got a different album if he'd lent his "whoa"s to the process instead

Like I said, with Blissed and Gone it would've been a 4.5
