 CD Review: Zwan | Mary Star of the Sea | Reprise - Daily Nexus Online   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
Corgan, the singer/songwriter/tyrant responsible for catapulting the Smashing Pumpkins to fame and fortune, only to induce the band's self-destruction in 2000, has assembled an all-star lineup for his latest venture.
Zwan's first full-length release, "Mary Star of the Sea," succeeds because it is the first cohesive collaboration of equals Corgan has participated in since the Pumpkins' "Siamese Dream." In the liner notes to "Mary," Corgan bills himself as "Billy Burke" - a Florida televangelist.
Perhaps the name change is due to the songs on "Mary" being more upbeat, uplifting and straightforward than anything Corgan has done before.
