The first single is "Walking Shade." [Note: This product is an authorized CD-R and is manufactured on demand] desertcart.com 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 Review: For true Pumpkin lovers only!!! - Since the breakup of the Smashing Pumpkins and then the formation and the subsiquential breakup of Zwan I have been awaiting to hear this album. Billy Corgan has always been a progressive artist. Just take a listen to all the Pumpkins other albums, each one has its own unique sound and feel while maintaining the signiture sound of the Pumpkins. Zwan on the other hand was a guitar laden mastery of echoing sound with religious heartfelt lyrics thrown into that sound. So what does THE FUTURE EMBRACE sound like...about what a pumpkins/corgan fan would expect none of the above. Corgan continues to push the limits of music and pulls at the strings of artistic comformity in everyway. The only pumpkins album that sounds anywhere quite like this was adore and thats only because of the electronic sound, cross adore with zwans album "mary star of the sea" and throw in some hopeful, sorrowful, and personal lyrics, dash some of the guitars out and cross it with more electronics and you have the sound of The Future Embrace. I'll go out on a limb here and say there are NO HIT SONGS on this album. It's not a mainstream album, the sound is too rough and unpolished for radio play. Walking Shade is the catchiest song, followed by tracks 2 and 3. The other songs are great works of art and will take quite a few listens before they conform to your mind. I really didnt "GET" this album on first listen but ive now listed to it quite a few times and im liking it more now, but that is the way with most great artists, they take a few listens. Is the future embrace revolutionary? no but it is a remarkable peice of work that true pumpkins/corgan fans will grow to enjoy. Review: He is a brilliant song writer and musician and it's clear on this ... - Billy Corgan doesn't get the due he deserves. He is a brilliant song writer and musician and it's clear on this CD and all of his releases since the break up of the 'original' Pumpkins lineup. This is a good album and every fan should give it a listen. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B0009G018Q | | Best Sellers Rank | #46,513 in CDs & Vinyl ( See Top 100 in CDs & Vinyl ) #4,737 in Alternative Rock (CDs & Vinyl) #19,577 in Pop (CDs & Vinyl) #22,826 in Rock (CDs & Vinyl) | | Customer Reviews | 4.3 4.3 out of 5 stars (204) | | Date First Available | January 29, 2007 | | Is Discontinued By Manufacturer | No | | Item model number | 9362487122 | | Label | Reprise / Wea | | Language | English | | Manufacturer | Reprise / Wea | | Number of discs | 1 | | Original Release Date | 2005 | | Product Dimensions | 4.84 x 5.59 x 0.47 inches; 3.6 ounces | | SPARS Code | DDD | ## Images ![TheFutureEmbrace - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61EtzGK-zKL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ For true Pumpkin lovers only!!! *by B***S on June 22, 2005* Since the breakup of the Smashing Pumpkins and then the formation and the subsiquential breakup of Zwan I have been awaiting to hear this album.

This is a good album and every fan should give it a listen. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ EXCELLENT ALBUM FROM THE BRAINS BEHIND THE PUMPKINS!!! *by A***L on August 7, 2012* i happen to be a huge pumpkins fan but i was very skeptical about this album. for me, billy corgan without jimmy chamberlin is just bla. but this album really changed my opinion. the songs are somewhat catchy. not poppy, just a little catchy. and moody. the album reflects all the things that attracts me to corgans style of music. while i miss chamberlins pitch perfect drumming,it doesnt take away from from this great album.HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!! ## Frequently Bought Together - TheFutureEmbrace - Mary Star of the Sea - Shiny and Oh so Bright, Vol. 1 No Past.
