Smashing Pumpkins Give Fans Something to "Adore"

July 21, 2014 By Mike Duquette Leave a Comment

Adore boxThe next installment in The Smashing Pumpkins' ongoing catalogue campaign has been announced - and in traditional Smashing Pumpkins fashion, it's accompanied by a typically Billy Corgan moment.

Released in 1998, the follow-up to the band's acclaimed double album Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness, Adore found the Pumpkins enduring some structural and personal changes: drummer Jimmy Chamberlain was out, and frontman Corgan endured a divorce, the death of his mother, and a shift in musical direction. Gone were the distorted, alt-rock staple guitars, replaced instead with folk-inspired, electronic-based songs. Despite critical high marks and modern rock hits in "Ava Adore" and "Perfect," Adore was disliked by some fans, and Corgan's responses toward that backlash didn't make him many friends.

So now the time has come for Adore to be rediscovered, as a seven-disc box set featuring the album in stereo (and mono, as heard on the original vinyl release), four discs of outtakes and live material plus a DVD from a stop on the band's An Evening with The Smashing Pumpkins, which found the band playing mostly new material in unusual venues for charity. The announcement was not without its controversy, as seen in Corgan's online missive criticizing Amazon for leaking the track list before the box was officially announced.

After the jump, you'll find that track list, as well as a link for just the full box set thus far (additional formats will be expected over time). It's due out September 23.

A 2009 graduate of Seton Hall University with a B.A. in journalism, Mike paired his profession with his passion through The Second Disc, one of the first sites to focus on all reissue labels great and small. His passion for reissues turned into a career, holding positions at Legacy Recordings and Rhino Records and contributing to Allmusic, Discogs, City Pages, Ultimate Classic Rock and Mondo Records, for whom he penned liner notes for his favorite piece of music: John Williams' Oscar-winning score to 'E.T. The Extra-Terrestrial.' Born and raised in New Jersey, Mike lives in Astoria, Queens with his wife, a cat named Ravioli, twin daughters and a large yet tasteful collection of music.
