Billy Corgan, lead singer of Smashing Pumpkins, has a solo record coming out. Less rock and more of a digital experience, Corgan still seems to sing passionately on this record. The fact that Billy Corgan is a musical legend (whet you like him or not), is enough to convince you to atleast borrow this album and listen to it. He also includes a cover of Leonard Cohen's "To Love Somebody"
This album has a less poppy, more experimental feel, and may not be your favorite record of the year...but hey, it's Billy Corgan and you'll probably end up liking it 3 years from now anyways. Apparently the ENTIRE album is up for presale on iTunes, so you can go take a listen to clips from each song and decide for yourself.
And if you don't have iTunes, just get it. :) Tim and myself reference it often in our posts. Let me know what you think of the album because I haven't decided if I like it yet or not.
Be well, and keep rocking...

I think the new album is a step in lets say a non conventional direction, it is however a good piece of art which i suggest you go out and buy.......he made the pumpkins, although without them he doesn't have the same effect on people......its true, its less rock and more electronica, but with a twist, buy it and you might be pleasantly surprised??!!
