Smashing Pumpkins: Adore: Pitchfork Record Review (Site not responding. Last check: ) |
 | | Composed almost entirely of Billy's beautiful ballads, trademark tragedies, and sweet, sweet little agonies, Adore is by far the band's most lush effort to date. |
 | | So, Adore has its fair share of unimpressive tracks, but never fails to hand out patience rewards like "Appels + Oranjes", which is this record's answer to 1979 (both the song and the year), the fully (keyboard) orchestrated "Tear" and the incredibly beautiful, eight-minute epic "For Martha", one of the Pumpkins' best tracks yet. |
 | | Adore marks the first time Corgan's produced his own band's record, albeit with occasional insight from Chicago indie-rock producer Brad Wood (best known for producing Liz Phair's Exile In Guyville) who co-produces six of the album's 16 tracks. |
