Billy Corgan - TheFutureEmbrace

I'll have to write a review based on my experiences and what I've read and heard Billy say.
This album seems to be one of those albums that get three stars from every reviewer because they fail to understand how to award the extra two. It's intriguing.
To me, it feels like listeners fail to understand two things:
1) BC is trying something new that doesn't necessarily conform with music standards - this does not make the music bad or unmemorable
2) The concept is larger than life, take it or leave it... if you don't appreciate someone's monstrous efforts at creating a solid unified catalogue of work then whatever, but you can't deny the genius of it.
