Free Music Notes for TheFutureEmbrace

Free Music Review: He's gone solo... and its AMAZING
Hit: 5 Stars

So he's gone solo.... and yes, the news that the Smashing Pumpkins are reuniting is very exciting, but this album has sparked my interest even moreso. To summarize this album: WOW! Those who had doubts that Billy Corgan could do this on his own: take your foot, put it in your mouth, and leave it there.

1. 5/5 what a good opening for a CD. In true Billy Corgan fashion, you have his amazing voice and the amazing twisted beat from the start.
2. 5/5 I'm loving the guitar of this one... very reminiscent of Smashing Pumpkins. I don't know how Billy Corgan does it, but its got the quick drum beat, the sliding electric guitar... and his unique voice.
3. 5/5 I think this is my favourite song. Read the lyrics of this song... I love them. The music is completely different from SP or Zwan. Its something you have to listen to in order to understand what I mean. You're almost anticipating something to happen when you hear that beat
4. 4.5/5 this song is amazing too, it only loses half a point because of lyrics remind of other songs. "You don't know what it's like, to love somebody, the way I love you"... but it's done in a very uniquely Billy Corgan
5. 5/5 Bringing it all back to early Smashing Pumpkins in this song... heavy beat, heavy guitar and abstract lyrics. Score!
6. 4/5 This song loses a point because it sounds very similar to the other songs. Nothing distinguishing about it.
7. 5/5 Cool synthesizer/keyboard + wicked guitar + Billy's voice = amazing
8. 4/5 I'm not sure what to make of this song. Of course it's good, this entire CD is amazing, this one just doesn't pop out to me
9. 5/5 Here's the song that's currently on the charts.... And of course it's amazingly good! If you listen enough to Smashing Pumpkins or Zwan, you will hear right from the get-go, the difference between Billy Corgan solo and his bands.
10. 5/5 I really like Billy's singing in this one. And the lyrics. The chorus has some overlaps of his voice and it sounds very good.
11. 4.5/5 This is much more upbeat than say #5 or Walking Shade. It's a good change.
12. 5/5 The music in this one is amazing.... This song is the best to show his voice. And in true Billy Corgan style, it's a toned down song from the heavier ones at the beginning. A perfect closing for a CD.

I think the most important part of this CD to remember is that Billy Corgan has gone solo. This is a great album even though in his interviews he says he's in love with Smashing Pumpkins and he had never wanted to go solo like he did,. I've been waiting to see what he could do on his own, and he has proven that he can still pull together a spectacular album. This is an album with a lot of powerful lyrics that really reflect who he is and who he has become since two very dramatic band break-ups. Although I absolutely LOVE Smashing Pumpkins with all my heart.... I have to say, Billy Corgan's fantastic talents really do shine in this album.

If you like the Smashing Pumpkins' cds, Zwan or even Billy Corgan's book "Blinking with Fists", you should go out and buy this. Its about time... I've been waiting a long time for this album, Billy.

TheFutureEmbrace Poster

The first solo album ever released by Billy Corgan-the revered singer/songwriter/guitarist whose groundbreaking work with The Smashing Pumpkins defined modern rock-is shockingly affirmative, even romantic. Corgan's most intimate set of songs yet, the hauntingly beautiful TheFutureEmbrace brings together Corgan's astonishing past and promising present.
Odd it may seem, Billy Corgan is wearing his heart on his extremely long sleeve, in his first proper solo album since dismantling the Smashing Pumpkins five years ago. Maybe it took that long to process the enormity of that loss, since The Future Embrace sounds like nothing so much as a break-up album. But having said that, it's rather difficult to determine whether it's the absence of James Iha, Jimmy Chamberlain, and D'Arcy Wretzky or just something much more mundane than the shattering of an affair of the heart that his sent him on this 12-song confessional. To his extreme credit, Corgan isn't trying to obscure his pain and uncertainty behind layers of guitar distortion and sonic dissonance the way he did with the Pumpkins, instead he's employed a rather restrained hand as he tries to work his way out of this psychic maze of his own making, cavorting with the ghosts of his past, present and future on such kinetic panoramas as "All Things Change," "DIA," or the rather wrenching "The Camera Eye," where the musician wrestles with his fear of aging, his burgeoning religiosity as and the necessity of transformation. Don't miss Robert Smith singing rather angular back-ups on the Bee Gee's skewed ode to love, "You Don't Know What It's Like." A tremendous and noble effort from a major talent. --Jaan Uhelszki
