The Smashing Pumpkins - Adore - Episode 67 | Waterproof Records with Jacob Givens

In 1998 The Smashing Pumpkins returned to us in a different shape than before. Now there were only three, and what remained of the band felt like grief in a gothic gown, introspective and embracing solitude. Somehow Adore mirrored where I found myself as a young man learning to be alone for the first time, and this album has only matured over time. Join me this week as we revisit this divisive departure we found ourselves in Once Upon a Time.

One of my favorite albums, and 'For Martha' brings back so many memories of driving around town and reflecting on life. Your insights remind me why this album still holds such a special place. Thanks for bringing back all those feels

"For Martha" is about one of the best songs out there and stands out to this day, holds up and always makes my head swim with jubilation!

[@kristeyfry4872]

After this podcast, I listened to this album again with older ears, and it hits differently. Ava Adore is still my favorite whore.

[@sportbilly2008]

This is one of those albums that not only gets better with repeated listening. It’s better played start to finish.

@JacobGivens like I say, Music 🎶 carries our memories ❤… appreciate your time on this & all Smashing Pumpkins albums. For some reason, their music carries most of my emotional good/bad memories ❤

Fantastic record!!

[@astronomical13]

2nd favorite Pumpkins album after Gish. To Shiela is my favorite SP song.

[@RuiNunesDev]

I watched, and listened in low volume on Spotify as you jumped tracks, so cool

[@RuiNunesDev]

Btw this album feels like October, red leaves, perfect for halloween to me

[@JacobGivens]

@@RuiNunesDev that’s a cool way to experience it!!! Yes!!

[@Negative.mrb1]

I saw them play the Adore album essentially on the Hoarde festival it was pretty amazing To Sheila Tear Nightmare And blank page are amazing songs Plus some other good stuff great album

[@MachineofLight]

I love this! I really feel you on "Shame", pretty much the same here.. Any chance of doing Machina?? 🙏🙏

[@Grimfarrow]

Crazy how similar your taste (and age!) is similar to mine. I absolutely love Adore, as well as Bjork, Sigur Ros, Pulp, Weezer etc... But out of all of them my trinity were Pumpkins, Radiohead and Tori

[@castrot2701]

Not sure if you ever covered this but still one of the best songs in existence… No Knife - the red bedroom 🤘

[@JacobGivens]

@@castrot2701 not familiar with that one! I’ll look it up

[@astronomical13]

I think I heard Billy Corgan in an interview call this album "arcane night music".

[@astronomical13]

i've always considered this album Billy's best songwriting and vocals. The absolute best thing he could have done without Jimmy Chamberlin.
