AlanRSep 24, 2005One of the greatest CD's Corgan has ever produced solo!

AllanSep 17, 2005Minus A100, DIA and to Love Somebody, pointless dribble. Wow, what a mess, Bill.

MichaelNAug 31, 2005He grew up, I grew up. And thank God for that! We can't all go on screaming at the entire world with loud gutairs for the sake of sales. If people want that there are enough corporate copy bands out there. This album is very much for the music lover. A beautiful piece of work.

ReginaFAug 21, 2005Corgan finally come out with a great sound with his nasal voice and creates some beautiful atmospheres with an innovative guitar playing. The trick? Electric drums. But despite Jimmy Chamberlin's absence, this is pretty much how the Smashing Pumpkins would have sounded after Machina.

JamesRAug 6, 2005An album that grows on you with every play through.... It also helps if you saw the live and accoustic shows when he toured :)

xxJul 10, 2005This album is a truly fantastic example of a real person being and feeling in a completely normal way. A way that is usually absent from musical artists that were never artists in the first place. Cheers

honzauJul 6, 2005I would rate it 11 if i could. Corgan finds his edge on album and it´s so brilliant that you will meet supermature while listenig this masterpiese. Thanks a lot Mr. Corgan !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

EdwardEJul 6, 2005I purchased this disc & then listened to it 5 times trying to find something to enjoy. I then returned it. I think Billy's run his course musically & offers nothing worth having here.

FCaussJul 2, 2005This new album by Corgan is fabulous. It is sure not more of the same. This is the kind of music you enjoy more en more with every listen.

kabirjJun 30, 2005not bad at all... i would've liked a bit more guitar, but some of the songs, esp the first 4 are really really strong... mina loy is a standout track. if you liked adore, this may be more up your alley, not at all like siamese dream or mellon collie/machina

Marie-ÈveJun 30, 2005Superb as always.. we love the way he makes us remember all the great moments in our lives with is nostagic songs and sounds
-
-
aet08Jun 30, 2005do not be confused, this is not a rock album, corgan is experimenting with new things. Mina Loy is a beautiful song, a lot of the other songs grow on you, just like all of his work.

[Anonymous]Jun 29, 2005If you are listening to this expecting to hear smashing pumpkins, dont even bother. If you are listening to this because you have respect for the artist, and an open mind for new and exciting things then definately check this record out. I love it, and the live show is even better. What an amazing show.

mcJun 29, 2005It is like the Pumpkins meet the Bright Eyes (digital ash in a d digital urn). It's a very smooth sound. Mellow and dirty at the same time. I dig.
-
-
CraigCJun 29, 2005While this album is flawed, it does contain some incredible music. Along with Gorillaz (Demon Days, how good is it?), it is good to see an artist trying something different rather than conforming to the unimaginitive dross being produced by 99% of the music industry.

EveretMJun 25, 2005This album is NOT mainsteream Billy Corgan, nor will it be appreciated by Smashing Pumpkins fans, unless their favourite Albums are Pices Iscariot and Machina (blech!) This is for people who LOVE Billy Corgan (the man) and don't care what he does wrond (the music.) Also, it's not for "rock fans". There will be an audience for this, but it will not be me.

JamesJun 24, 2005Im glad corgan is doing what he wants to do, and I think its great that he has picked up an interest in electronic music. There are a number of great tracks on this album, and i think that mina loy, a100 and tolovesomebody alone are worth the cost of the album.

oweehJun 23, 2005I tried my best to like this cd ,but I just cant. If this is Billys new direction I think I need to hop off the wagon.

emesemJun 22, 2005Not as good as Zwan. It sounds like Adore II, which would be ok but the songs just arent as strong. The first 3 tracks are excellent but then the rest sort of fizzles out.

TheDubstarDarknessJun 22, 2005Everyone who doesn't get this sound.. please shut up and open your mind. This is really beautifull produced, genius music for the future.

soldiergJun 22, 2005wow, better than I expected. For at least most of the cd i was in awe the first time listening to this. I guess this is the direction i hoped he would go, but the shoegazer synth backdrops I didn't see coming. They were deep pools of beauty to swim around in. yes, i'm a sp fan, but this sounds pretty distinctly unlike anything he's ever done before. that's my $.02

AliciaWJun 22, 2005Fuck the critics.

-
mskysJun 21, 2005i think it's a solid album with a very specific concept in mind... it def leans to the more "arty" tendencies of corgan vs. the his pop sensibilities.
-
-
BillySJun 21, 2005Great electronic guitar sounds...step up from Zwan no doubt, and a good pre-cursor for now what seems to be a Pumpkins reunion in the near future...

BubbaOJun 20, 2005If this was any other artist it wouldn't even be considered worth lsitening to. Well, it's not worth listening to. This is some of the most uninteresting music ever made.

ChrisMJun 20, 2005This album is really a big disappointment. I actually liked Mary Star of the Sea a lot more than I enjoy this. There's a couple standout tracks (Walking Shade, The Camera Eye) but for the most part this is just more retro retread. It sounds like Adore if Adore wasn't very memorable and Kevin Shields played guitars.

cristianJun 20, 2005I LOVE THIS ALBUM! ITS GREAT! buy it !!! for smashing pumpkins fans really!

Awards & Rankings

Future mostly sounds like a bunch of so-so Smashing Pumpkins songs, stripped of everything except Corgan's adenoidal vocals, and then set to a chorus of synths and electronic drumbeats.
-
Q MagazineThere's nothing as heroic as Smashing Pumpkins' Tonight Tonight, but Now (And Then) is a surprisingly successful attempt at emotion. [Jul 2005, p.113]
-
MojoCorgan allows a surprisingly vulnerable side to appear. [Jul 2005, p.96]
