As the band had already experimented outside of their traditional rock sound on ''Mellon Collie'', with the immensely successful electronic-influenced "1979" among other songs to show for it, they decided to hone in on electronica. Hoping to maintain this ProgressiveRock-inspired experimentation, Corgan began envisioning a hybrid of folk rock and electronica that was as "ancient" as it was "futuristic". The result was [[NewSoundAlbum the much more musically subdued approach]] that ''Adore'' was defined by, eschewing their pre-established heavier elements for mellow, ethereal soundscapes taking influence from the likes of industrial rock, gothic rock, {{synthpop}} and {{dream pop}}, and exhibiting more melancholic lyrics (which Corgan actually wrote before writing the melodies, a first for the band). In a sense, it actually manages to be both LighterAndSofter and DarkerAndEdgier than the band's other material at the same time.

After the mass success of ''Music/MellonCollieAndTheInfiniteSadness'' and a subsequent world tour, ''Adore'' was surrounded by considerable hype from the get-go, with MTV going as far as christening it "one of the most anticipated albums of 1998". However, with this level of public expectation combining with a myriad of interpersonal issues, the album's production was [[TroubledProduction marred by problems]] such that frontman Billy Corgan retrospectively summarized it as [[CreatorBreakdown "a band falling apart"]].

When taken as a whole, it's much, much more subdued musically than the band's previous work (and, for that matter, anything they did afterward).

Intended as the band's "electronic" or "gothic" album, the musical and lyrical content is substantially more subdued than their previous material, owing in large part to the fact that Corgan's mother had recently died of cancer, as well as to the fact that usual drummer Jimmy Chamberlin was not present on this album (having been temporarily kicked out of the band for drug abuse).

It actually manages to be both LighterAndSofter and DarkerAndEdgier than the band's other material at the same time. The metal elements of the band's other albums are almost completely absent, but it is more melancholy, and it's their only album for which Corgan wrote the lyrics before writing the melodies.

''Adore'' is the fourth official studio album by AlternativeRock band Music/TheSmashingPumpkins, released in late May or early June 1998.[[note]]The exact date depended upon the country, but the earliest release was May 29 in the European Union and the latest was June 2 in the U.S./Canada.[[/note]] The LP edition, which was mono and used a different mix, followed a few months later on August 18. (Amongst other differences, the brief outro "17" was omitted and "For Martha" had a different arrangement that was about a minute shorter.)

Intended as the band's "electronic" or "gothic" album, it was regarded as a commercial disappointment on its release, only selling a portion of the previous two albums' sales (despite peaking at #2 on the ''Billboard'' 200 and topping charts in several countries), not to mention how it [[BrokenBase divided the fanbase]]. However, it has come to be regarded as somewhat VindicatedByHistory, as its stature has risen substantially over the years. It is now not uncommon to hear people cite this album alongside ''Music/SiameseDream'' and ''Music/MellonCollieAndTheInfiniteSadness'' as one of their favourites. (For what it's worth, the album received almost universally positive critical reviews when it was released, and band leader Billy Corgan himself predicted ''Adore'' would grow in stature after it had been out for awhile).

The material on this album is substantially more subdued than the band's previous material, owing in large part to the fact that Corgan's mother had recently died of cancer, as well as to the fact that usual drummer Jimmy Chamberlin was not present on this album (having been temporarily kicked out of the band for drug abuse). It still has a wide stylistic range, though, but the territory covered is somewhat different from that of any other Smashing Pumpkins album, and it remains a unique entry in the band's discography. It actually manages to be both LighterAndSofter and DarkerAndEdgier than the band's other material at the same time: the metal elements of the band's other albums are almost completely absent, but it is more melancholy (ironically, considering the title of the band's previous album) in both its emotional and lyrical content. Speaking of lyrics, it's their only album for which Corgan wrote the lyrics before writing the melodies, and perhaps as a result, it is commonly regarded as their strongest album lyrically.

September 23, 2014, as part of the band's campaign to reissue its discography from its original run, saw the release of a gargantuan box set collecting a remaster of the CD edition, a remaster of the mono vinyl mix (the first time it was released digitally), four [=CDs=]' worth of additional bonus content, and a bonus DVD featuring a contemporary live performance in its entirety. The bonus [=CDs=] (including the mono mix) were criticised for their [[LoudnessWar sound quality]], but apart from that, the bonus content was extremely well received, with some fans feeling that the live performances of the album's songs were a major improvement on the studio versions. In all, the box set has [[OneHundredAndEight 108]] tracks, which comprise nine hours and ten minutes of music.

Intended as the band's "electronic" or "gothic" album, it was regarded as a commercial disappointment on its release, only selling a portion of the previous two albums' sales (despite peaking at #2 on the ''Billboard'' 200 and topping charts in several countries), not to mention how it [[BrokenBase divided the fanbase]]. However, it has come to be regarded as somewhat VindicatedByHistory, as its stature has risen substantially over the years. It is now not uncommon to hear people cite this album alongside ''Music/SiameseDream'' and
''Music/MellonCollieAndTheInfiniteSadness'' as one of their favourites. (For what it's worth, the album received almost universally positive critical reviews when it was released, and band leader Billy Corgan himself predicted that the album would gain in stature after it had been out for awhile).

The material on this album is substantially more subdued than the band's previous material, owing in large part to the fact that Corgan's mother had recently died of cancer, as well as to the fact that usual drummer Jimmy Chamberlin was not present on this album (having been temporarily kicked out of the band for drug abuse). It still has a wide stylistic range, though, but the territory covered is somewhat different from that of any other Smashing Pumpkins album, and it remains a unique entry in the band's discography. This is also the only album for which Corgan wrote the lyrics before he wrote the melodies, and it is regarded as their strongest album lyrically.

Speaking of lyrics, it's their only album for which Corgan wrote the lyrics before he wrote writing the melodies, and perhaps as a result, it is commonly regarded as their strongest album lyrically.

September 23, 2014, as part of the band's campaign to reissue its discography from its original run, saw the release of a gargantuan box set collecting a remaster of the CD edition, a remaster of the mono vinyl mix, four [=CDs=]' worth of additional bonus content, and a bonus DVD featuring a contemporary live performance in its entirety. The bonus [=CDs=] (including the mono mix) were criticised for their [[LoudnessWar sound quality]], but apart from that, the bonus content was extremely well received, with some fans feeling that the live performances of the album's songs were a major improvement on the studio versions. In all, the box set has [[OneHundredAndEight 108]] tracks, which make up nine hours and ten minutes of music.
