This single is one of the most powerful tracks on the 'Adore' album. Not only does it have an Earth-shaking base line and wailing guitars, it has the mournful tones of Billy Corgan, who sounds angry and evil one minute, then heartbroken the next. No-one has a voice like him and this song shows the lyrical genius at his best !

It ALMOST surprised me
16 Mar 2000
Format:Audio CD
I was almost caught off guard by how good the other songs were...then I just remembered "hey, this is the Pumpkins we're talkin about here". But really, I already had Adore when I bought this so I knew how good Adore was. I had also heard Czarina and I thought it was pretty good so I decided to buy it. Then when I got it I listened to Once In a While...that song is really good. So if you like the Disarm/To Forgive less heavy type of songs, or you're a pumpkin fan you NEED to buy this.

Achingly beautiful; really grabs you!

This is why I like the Smashing Pumpkins! The title track of course is the savage "Ava Adore", but the real reason, as all the reviews below say, to buy this CD is the 2 bonus tracks. "Czarina" and "Once In A While" are absolutely amazing love songs which, were it not for Billy's nasal voice, would not sound one bit like Pumpkins' songs! It's that ability to morph into new forms which makes them, in my opinion, THE best rock band of the 1990's. Grab this CD while you can!

Nice to hear a single again from the Pumpkins
20 Aug 2005
Format:Audio CD
And it's from the last album where they would actually release a commercial single stateside. The album starts with the amazing "Ava Adore" which anyone who comes here has also heard. I have heard this single before; I'm probably going to buy it sometime when I get the cash. I have heard both of the B-sides though.
Neither are actually spectacular, but they are both pleasant. "Czarina" is a nice fingerpick acoustic track from the Pumpkins and "Once in a While" is nice to hear. It's interesting that there are a couple of B-sides in this era that had James Iha whenever none of the songs that made the album were even co-penned by him.
