		James Iha, the most famous Asian-American alternative-rock musician, hands down, has put his best foot forward as the co-founder of the Smashing Pumpkins with Billy Corgan, a band that helped define our generation.
		Iha's critically acclaimed solo album, "Let it Come Down" turned out to be the diametric opposite of the Pumpkins' tumultuous tirades.
		James Iha: Well, they had been working with you know a couple of people while they were doing their record, and it's just.

	Salon \| Sharps and Flats: James Iha
		Iha's solo debut is more than just a change of pace for the Smashing Pumpkins guitarist; it's a vent for his essential sunniness, which in its own happy way diametrically opposes a worldview like Corgan's.
		But it is. Iha has everything a good songwriter needs: nuance, sensitivity, nice words, an ear for melody, a sense of structure and that sixth sense for conceiving tunes impossible to get out of one's head.
		Iha holds nothing back: not his effusive amorous declarations or his shimmying vocal "ooh oohs" and "bap bap mmm hmmms" or the instrumentation he calls in to accompany them.

		This isn't a case of reviewing good intentions: as a side musician, guitarist Iha is too cool-looking, too clearly self-assured, to need anybody's charity vote, least of all mine.
		Iha, in his pleasantly reedy, slightly burnished voice, sings as if he meant them.
		Iha's willingness to go for broke is the thing that makes Let It Come Down work.

		James Iha charms New York "The title of the album (Let It Come Down) is supposed to say two things: I've had some of these songs for a while, and it's like the weather, when rain or snow is waiting to come down.
		If James Iha's metaphor for his debut album is the weather, then his one-night New York City performance at The Mercury Lounge was cloudy and drizzly with occasional thunder.
		As Iha and his band eased into "The Sound of Love," the room exploded with a blast of feedback or some heart-attack-inducing technical screw-up.

	Pumpkin James Iha Talks About Power-Pop Solo Debut (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
		Iha said the mellow, singer/songwriter grooves of "Country Girl" and the orchestral pop of "Sound of Love" were inspired by early heroes such as Neil Young and The Band, and, believe it or not, such sensitive late '60s/early '70s singer/songwriters as James Taylor and Jackson Browne.
		Iha sings in a delicate high and sweet voice that perfectly fits the material he has showcased on the album.
		Iha sought out a few vocal coaches and said he spent a lot of time in his home studio working on his vocals.

	Ink 19 :: James Iha
		It's a shame that Iha and Corgan don't write songs together, since, based on this pleasantly rambling album, Iha has a low-key pop savvy which might actually work as an effective ying to Corgan's generally overblown, overproduced yang.
		But Iha solo just doesn't possess the percolating personality or hummable hooks that he needs to turn these inoffensive ballads into something more memorable.
		Pick it up for a couple of bucks when it hits the cut-out bins in a year, and groove to its low-key, and often charming, melodic pop flow.

		Unlike the bombastic, in-your-face style of Smashing Pumpkins, guitarist James Iha's solo debut is a collection of lovesongs wrapped in lighter-than-air harmonies and gentle hooks.
		Iha does however hit upon the odd catchy tune which provide nothing more than a refreshing happy mood to them.
		Iha wrote this album as a release from the intensity of the pumpkins music and it shows, whilst it is relatively relaxing at times it is nothing to go wild about.

		I'm fully convinced that Iha got a record deal because he used to be a in a world famous band.
		Whilst James' voice may not be the most memorable, it really suits the lovely sound of this album.

	curlio.com: James Iha caused Smashing Pumpkins split
		According to Billy Corgan, it was James Iha that caused the split of the Smashing Pumpkins.
		It is possible that James was the problem...he had about 1/10th of Corgan's talent...wether it be guitar playing or songwriting, etc...and he was probably just tired of being reminded of it.
		If anything, I believe there different ideas tore the pumpkins apart, all Iha wanted to make was soft sweet love music, while billy probably wished to stick with his artistic poetic lyrics and sounds that the pumpkins are so famous for.

		James Iha is known as the quiet one in the group who rarely speaks out in public.
		Yet he is also known to do bizarre things during concerts.
		James isn't only the 2nd guitarist, but also the vocals in some songs such as "Take Me Down" and the Perfect B-side, "Summer." Behind the depressive shy quiet exterior lies a personality that is much different than what anyone might suspect.

		Iha's solo debut, Let It Come Down, is a softer outing than most ofthe Smashing Pumpkins' material.
		Born in Elk Grove, Ill., Iha joined the group in 1989 after being recruited along with drummer Jimmy Chamberlain by singer/guitarist Billy Corgan and bassist D'Arcy Wretzky, who was Iha's girlfriend at the time.
		Earlier this year, Iha released Let It Come Down, a much gentler sounding album than one might associate with a member of the Smashing Pumpkins.
