Billy Corgan, Courtney Love and Marilyn Manson settled their respective feuds, and Manson performed “Ava Adore” with Smashing Pumpkins.

While Adore isn’t exactly genius, it’s certainly of the same fabric: a tortured portrait of tortured artists that will always remain tortured. The difference between this collection and, say, the future reissue of the really polarizing Machina albums is that the Pumpkins were still inches away from the ledge, pushing back against whatever force was attempting to hurl them off. This struggle offered one last glimpse of the Midwestern boy everyone hated to love, as opposed to the man everyone would love to hate. For a few hours, it’s nice to feel the bitter love again. The Smashing Pumpkins reissue of Adore earns an A+ review.
