Adore is an amazing album but I understand why it didn't do too well initially

It's an amazing album but I know damn well if I was around when it came out after Mellon Collie (I was 5 years old) I would have been like ehhh what is this, where has the distortion gone. When I was initially getting into the band, I listened in chronological order, and even then I was like what the hell is this. About 10 years later I'll always defend it as a near masterpiece. It has Billy's best vocals and the experimental nature of it really hits.

But yeah, if I was 16 when it came out? I'm putting SD/MCIS back in my Walkman haha.
