I cant believe i didnt know that 'Shame' was written about Michael Hutchence

The first sentence kind of summed it up for me. Through the 90's these guys were just about my favorite band just slightly behind pavement. Siamese dream was a gorgeous album and melon collie was truly epic.. I remember when the first single of this came out. I was never really into the goth thing.. so I really disliked the look that billy was going with.. the single came out and I hated it.. albeit to say I got the album today and am listening to it. It's... not bad.. but it's nowhere near as grand in scale or sonic awesomeness as melon collie or siamese.. maybe I just need to listen to it more.. i'm listening to it now as I type heh. He really decided to go with a more radio friendly pop feel for this and.. that's not really my style. I don't know maybe it'll grow on me.. so far it's kinda.. mehh..

"It's you that I adore".

Adore is up there with Siamese Dream, nothing lower then a 4 in my opinion.



Daphne Descends, For Martha, Behold! The Nightmare, Once Upon A Time and The Tale Of Dusty And Pistol Pete are beautiful tracks, the rest are just as great

underrated!

i havent listened to adore for long long years; after someone had stolen my cassette with this album i never came back to it... until today; i dont know why but i didnt like adore, it seemed lenghty, boring, even somehow lifeless in its melancholy; i decided to remind myself these songs and check out how my opinion concerning them might have changed with years;what can i say? despite my sceptic attitude i started to enjoy this album like never before; what i used to complain about most in the past now turned out to be the strongest point of adore: calmness, meditation, vulnerability... ethereal beauty locked in tasteful arrangements; maybe i had to grow up to changes in the band's style since fisrt 3 albums have always been my favourite; it's nice to discover adore again and see it in a brand new light this time; i put it on the same level with mellon collie while siamese still remains my number 1

This album is sonically beautiful. It is more concise than Mellon collie in my opinion. It more completely encompasses a single mood (solemnity/somber/melancholy) in my oipinion than any previous Pumpkins album. Which is sort of funny, because Mellen Collie...well I'm sure you get where I am going with this one. I don't agree with the 3.6 overall rating though. Easily a 4.0 in my eyes. Oh well. Crazy Sputnik ratings are crazy I suppose.

To Sheila rules. Jimmy is sorely missed on this album but it still kicks ass

Album Rating: 3.5

this would be a 4.5 if 50% of songs didn't drag

haven't heard, is James even on this one? he's prob my fav Pumpkin

My ex, this real smut, used to be obsessed with these shitheads so now I hate them.

Album Rating: 3.5

yeah this is just Billy, James, D'arcy, and a drum machine with Matt Walker and the guy from Soundgarden playing drums on a couple tracks





rules pretty hard but the absence of Jimmy drags it down

Underrated record, one of the cases where lack of heaviness/loudness is unfairly associated with lack of quality.

ava adore is a cool track with an incredible music video

Some good ideas on this one but also some mediocre bits. And its too long. Mellon Collie was longer but more interesting.

Album Rating: 4.0

So damn underrated, as good as any of the SP albums before it
