As soon as they kicked the drummer out they bombed. Adore was absolutely woeful and remains the only cd I've taken back to the shop a day after buying it, because it was so utterly dreadful. Corgan disappeared up his own arse on parts of Mellon Collie and clearly thought he was bigger than Jesus, despite the fact that album contained alongside some of their best records, some of their worst records as well. If he'd trimmed the dross off that album and made it one cd instead of a pointless two cd set then it could've been better than Siamese Dream. But he didn't, so it remains a record where the skip track button is your friend.
