If this is the future, I'm not looking forward
Review of Future Embrace, The - Corgan, Billy by Phelthew

Advantages: four great songs
Disadvantages: 8 not so great songs

Released in 2005 this album was the first we heard from Billy Corgan since Zwan in around 2002. It was much anticipated and I had really looked forward to its release Track One - All Things Change A interetsing sing. Very original, techno stylings and some very dark guitaring in amongst well sung lyrics. You're sort of reminded of Smashing Pumpkin's Adore but there is a strong feling that something is missing. 3.5/5 Track Two - Mina Loy (M.O.H) I ... Read review

You know i'm true/Wasn't born to follow
Review of Future Embrace, The - Corgan, Billy by funkyfiend

Advantages: a fab piece of electronic alt rock - a billy corgan fan's must
Disadvantages: we prefer the pumpkins

Finally, after a long era of virtually nothing from the ex Smashing Pumpkins frontman (there was Zwan, but they were fairly disappointing), Billy Corgan returns with some of the most engaging, insightful music of his career. His high-pitched snarling whine combined with the grandly melancholic harmonies and progressions of electronics pick up where the Pumpkins 'Adore' left off. Corgan's voice blends perfectly with the dark electronic beats to create ... Read review

smashing cd
Review of Future Embrace, The - Corgan, Billy by beahotdacer

Advantages: great music for those who miss the pumkins
Disadvantages: not nearly as good as any of the pumpkin releases

...happy to say . with Future Embrace he is back on form producing pumping and beutifull rock. From a production point of view billy has obiously decided to go for a highly produced electronic sound, with a drum machien almost used thruout ,and ever other instrument going through somesort of electronic process. I dare say alot of the sounds might not be instrument at all in the conventiall sence. The closest i can releate this to in his former work ... Read review

Not what the Doctor ordered
Review of Future Embrace, The - Corgan, Billy by self_aggressive

Advantages: Billy Corgan's Comeback
Disadvantages: It's awful

Well to start with, this is not for Smashing Pumpkins fans. The music is like Machina but Electro. Basically. I feel the lyrics are pretty weak. He is not on form at all here. Don't think I hate him or anything, it's quite the opposite, The Smashing Pumpkins are my favourite band. So when I got this CD I was really excited, and it didn't take long to be completely let down. The only salvation this CD has is Walking Shade. The only Single from ... Read review

WELCOME RETURN
Review of Future Embrace, The - Corgan, Billy by dan_wales

Advantages: New music from Billy, a fresh direction that often satisfies. Nice cover art and booklet
Disadvantages: Not anywhere near as good as the pumpkins. Might not stand up to repeated listenning

After the sudden breakup of ZWAN, a Billy Corgan solo album was inevitable. Okay it sounds nothing like the Pumpkins,but ignore that and this is a damn good album. 'Mina Loy' and 'Walking shade' are brimming with fuzzy electronic rock wonder. Openner 'All things change' is a definate highpoint with its simple yet beautiful melody. The major surprise is the Bee Gees cover of 'To love somebody' which effortlessly betters the original. 'The camera eye' ... Read review
