 Zwan: Mary, Star of the Sea: Pitchfork Record Review
Last summer, Zwan's lineup was revealed to include two of indie rock's finest guitarists-- Slint's Dave Pajo and Matt Sweeney of Chavez-- alongside A Perfect Circle bassist Paz Lenchantin and Pumpkins powerhouse Jimmy Chamberlin on drums.
But Corgan is not a man to half-ass anything, and Zwan being his Fresh Start, he's gone about it with a keen sense of calculation.
Corgan's ego won't be sated simply by mainstream success: With Zwan, he aims to reclaim the ground he's been steadily losing since the release of Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness.

 U-WIRE.com/CD REVIEW: Corgan brings back Pumpkins' pop with Zwan   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
Zwan is fronted by the once/always/sometimes great Smashing Pumpkin's front man Billy Corgan, who, after a stint with New Order, hooked up with ex-Pumpkin drummer Jimmy Chamberlin, Matt Sweeney, David Pajo of Tortoise and Slint, and Paz Lenchantin from A Perfect Circle.
Zwan made its formal debut Tuesday in the form of a 14-song album called "Mary Star of the Sea." With the album, Corgan proves that his voice is still powerful and his song writing abilities are every bit as good as they were in 1998.
Zwan finishes the album with a foot barely but firmly in front of the rest of the mainstream rock bands.

 Zwan - PopMatters Concert Review
A small number of fans were able to catch Zwan at one of their limited club shows earlier this year, but many more curious Smashing Pumpkins fans saw Zwan for the first time at the Q101 Jamboree in Tinley Park, Illinois.
Zwan played to their first large audience, and the fans' two-year wait was well worth it.
Zwan is simply more efficient than the Pumpkins, packing all of these elements into four-minute songs.

Zwan definitely deserves to be given a first, second and even third look.
The great thing about Zwan is we get to see a different phase of Billy, in which he is less angsty and more spiritual, or at least more explicit about it.
Over all, Zwan accomplishes a rare feat, which would be, to preoccupy themselves with the SOUND of rock, this album is sonic.

It was nice to see the optimism of Zwan, nice to see a religious based album that didn't try to convert you.
Zwan was underappretiated and that's probably part of the reason they were so short lived.
The real treat for me was seeing Zwan play live in Orlando last year, which was hands down the best live band experience I've ever witnessed in a long list of bands I have seen live.

 Zwan
But while the former leader of the Smashing Pumpkins is no longer the tormented soul who rode that band's angst-ridden sound to the top of the charts through the alternative-rock '90s, he is still a dedicated contraire committed to pursuing his own unique vision.
Zwan seems to be more of collaboration than the Pumpkins, in terms of how the songs are actually constructed, as well as in the more upbeat atmosphere surrounding the quintet.
Zwan is a very simple band made up of very talented Musicians.

 Zwan: Mary Star of the Sea [2003] Shaking Through.net: Music: Review
Zwan is the end result of product triumphing over art.
Sadly, such is not the case with Mary Star of the Sea, Zwan's polished-to-a-blinding-sheen debut.
Commerce and art make strange bedfellows, and Zwan's debut only reinforces the messy result when both are forced to occupy the same aggressively contested space.

 Zwan Review
I can only sum it up by saying Zwan is the ‘Shock and Awe’ campaign to the musical battlefield.
Zwan are Paz Lenchantin (bass, violin, vocals), David Pajo (guitar and keyboards), Matt Sweeney (guitar and vocals), Jimmy Chamberlin (drums), and Billy Corgan (guitar and vocals) This was probably the most fantastic concert I’ve attended.
However, due to the emotion of the crowd, Zwan gave us the option of a slow sappy song or a high power rock n roll song to end the night with.

As much as I love the roaring guitars in some Zwan tracks at other venues, this accoustic session is entertaining and great to listen to.
The acoustic zwan shows were excellent, and its not a bad recording at all considering it was a quiet show.
Very early in the life of Zwan, there is some experimentation and crowd participation.

 Zwan - Music Downloads - Online
In April 2002, Zwan morphed into a quintet with the addition of bassist Paz Lenchantin (of A Perfect Circle fame), who joined the group in time for a series of shows in St. Louis and Corgan's hometown of Chicago.
These dates featured yet a third set of music, different from the previous two, bringing the total number of songs in Zwan's repertoire up into the neighborhood of 60.
After inking a deal with Reprise, Zwan released their first single, "Honestly", in November 2002.

 Zwan cds, vinyl records and music albums
Zwan cds and Zwan records can be found on the label Reprise Records.
Musically, Zwan won't repulse fans of Smashing Pumpkins, while the strong melodies and guitar interplay are sure to bring them a whole new subset of fans.
Some very slight concessions to his pop star status haven't watered down his talent; Zwan represent an exciting return to form for Corgan, as the last couple Pumpkins records seemed to sag under the weight of that band's unbelievable success and subsequent identity crisis.

ZWAN's album isn't particularly ambitious, at least not by Corgan's lofty standards.
Corgan kept his drummer, Jimmy Chamberlin, then loaded the ZWAN arsenal with post-punk veterans who have experience in Slint, Tortoise, Chavez and a Perfect Circle.
ZWAN is friendlier than the late-'90s Pumpkins were.
