Billy Corgan has grown less and less shy about wearing his heart on his sleeve as he's moved through his various musical stages, but the onetime Smashing Pumpkins leader has taken a quantum leap on that front on this, his first solo album. He pretty much admits such an intention with the album-opening "All Things Change," an unabashedly pretty paean to positivity that seems to channel George Harrison with its mantra-like insistence that "we can change the world." Corgan's in a decidedly spiritual -- even downright religious -- place these days, as evidenced by the wide-eyed "Mina Loy," which uses a sinuous bass line to buoy its message of corporeal divestiture. While there's certainly a smattering of guitar on the disc, Corgan doesn't go out of his way to kick out the jams.
