Translation from Swedish:

“The balloon that cracked! It’s true Billy Corgan has said that the band will hit new roads after ‘MC&IS’…

A great thought since that album was SP’s crown of creation, and the crescendo the band had achieved through albums such as “Gish” and “Siamese Dream”. But however much you try to like “Adore” however much you turn it around you only find a handful of songs that is durable – and maybe only for a summer.

The beginning with “To Sheila”, Cure-smelling “Perfect”, and the strong “Tear”, and beautiful “For Martha” is really the only songs that sticks to your head. The rest of the twelve songs are missing that special nerve that’s before been so outstanding. Nowadays, Billy is mostly standing scraping with his foot in the ground, unsure which direction to go. Where he is going and why only god knows. A question that finds no answer is which sense it made firing Jimmy Chamberlin. He may have brought a lot of negative issues to the band, but still he is one of the worlds best drummers. To face that loss with computer processed beats is a deeply great loss. James Iha’s solodebut released this spring feels ten times more interesting than “Adore” that is unfortunately a great big disappointment.”
