| | TheFutureEmbrace gets underway with one of the more commercially viable songs on the album, “All Things Change.” It only takes a few seconds into the song to realize that this isn’t going to be an album of old Pumpkins knockoffs and throwaways. | | | After your first listen of the last three songs on TheFutureEmbrace it is quite doubtful that you will ever want to listen to them again. | | | The song is ok, but at this point it becomes a bit disappointingly evident that Corgan will not be breaking out any guitars on this record. |

| | musicGeek.org - Reviews: Billy Corgan - TheFutureEmbrace |
| | All in all, TheFutureEmbrace is an intriguing listen. | | | Since then Corgan has struggled with music, having previously disbanded from the alt-rock “super group” Zwan after only one album and a short tour. | | | Corgan, influenced strongly by Low-era David Bowie, Echo and the Bunnymen, and The Sisters of Mercy, crafts a distinct soundscape for TheFutureEmbrace. |

| | Encouraged by the musical progress of the record, I have already begun writing new songs for a subsequent solo album I hope to start by the end of this year. | | | “‘TheFutureEmbrace’ is an album of hope, and represents fully my desire to make music to stand and to fight for. | | | I’d like to take this moment to address all that is going on in my musical life, from the new album and the current tour, to the future of The Smashing Pumpkins. |

| | Billy Corgan - TheFutureEmbrace sputnikmusic |
| | TheFutureEmbrace is roughly divided in half with distorted upbeat songs like DIA (which features ex-Zwan and Pumpkins drummer Jimmy Chamberlain), Mina Loy and Walking Shade, and orchestral lullabies like All Things Change, Now (And Then), and the pointless and boring I’m Ready. | | | TheFutureEmbrace goes drastically between good songs, ok songs, and just plain bad/boring songs. | | | He scores some points by making a fair bit of variety in the sound of album, if not in most of the songs. |

| | That dreamy sound continues throughout the album -- sometimes it's laced with synth blips, sometimes with airy distortion. | | | "TheFutureEmbrace" is a fantastic album, haunting and very much alive with passion and spirit. | | | The past is a foreign country but the new dawn alluded to by the title of Billy Corgan's debut solo album TheFutureEmbrace is actually an overcast day in an Eighties post-punk Britain of raincoats, chimneys, riots and run-down heavy industry. |

| | Billy Corgan - TheFutureEmbrace |
| | There's a preponderance of synth sounds on the album, a surprising lack of guitars, and a rather doomy atmosphere all round. | | | All is redeemed for the closing track Strayz, which ends the album on a beautifully tender note. | | | It takes a few listens for the album to sink in, and due to the similarity of the songs, at first hearing it's likely to wash over you somewhat, with only the optimistic opener All Things Change and the brutal keyboard riff of A100 really sticking in the mind. |

| | Billy Corgan: TheFutureEmbrace - Christian Music Today |
| | TheFutureEmbrace is, according to Corgan, "an album of hope" representing his "desire to make music to stand and to fight for." | | | Sonically speaking, TheFutureEmbrace also lacks the angst of previous offerings, starting with an absence of the guitars that used to almost viciously drive the message home. | | | On what's technically his solo debut (unless you count his one-album, post-Smashing Pumpkins diversion with Zwan), Billy Corgan has a surprise for longtime fans—a shortage of rage (but still plenty of his trademark whine). |

| | The album is ridden with the mind of a man who spent ten years plodding through 50 distortion pedals per album, and is now tired of it. | | | Listening to TheFutureEmbrace is a bit like listening to where the Pumpkins might have gone. | | | Not a good way to start off an album, to be sure. |

| | Corgan goes solo with TheFutureEmbrace - Avion - Entertainment |
| | In summary, TheFutureEmbrace is not so much a solo album, as it is a continuation of the only music Corgan seems capable of producing. | | | There is little difference in this album and anything Corgan has done in the past. | | | As well, the album carries a heavy talent load - former drummer for both the Smashing Pumpkins and Zwan Jimmy Chamberlain plays on "DIA." Perhaps more impressively, the album features Robert Smith of The Cure. |

| | RTE.ie Entertainment - Billy Corgan - TheFutureEmbrace |
| | While undoubtedly heartfelt, it's still the most unremarkable album Corgan has ever released, his talent dimmed by a collection of songs that test but never reward patience. | | | With the Smashing Pumpkins Corgan made his most underrated - and arguably best - album when he revealed his synth influences and softest side on 'Adore'; here that combination results in a trudge that will drive you straight back to the solace of that record. | | | Overproduced and lopsided with fussy electronics, at times 'TheFutureEmbrace' sounds like it was either made by robots or created for use on a catwalk, not a stage. |

| | Billy Corgan: "TheFutureEmbrace" AccessAtlanta |
| | The richly produced "TheFutureEmbrace" is a much more developed record than "Mary Star of the Sea," the 2003 album by Corgan's short-lived post-Pumpkins band Zwan. | | | Here Corgan takes his sonic signatures — the blend of swoon and snarl, the high-pitched whine, the grandly melancholic harmonies and progressions — and adds a big dose of electronics, staking out a quasi-Goth territory with echoes of brisk New Order, burbling Peter Gabriel and shimmering Brian Wilson. | | | Watch your step, though, and you can bask in an often bracing extension of the sweeping, striving rock and emotional vulnerability that made Corgan a beacon of alternative rock in the '90s. |

| | Stand out tracks include the thumping 'A100' with its driving beat, multi-layered vocals and industrial effects that should cause some damage on the charts. | | | Then there's the bizarre but superb collaboration with the Cure's Robert Smith &; the Granddad of depressive punk wrapping his twisted vocals around the BeeGee's hit 'Tolovesomebody'. | | | Pumpkins fans may find it disappointing, as Corgan firmly turns his back on his past successes, but give it a chance and its bleak aural landscapes mixed with synth-driven melodies will grow on you. |
