Arguably more appealing than the increasingly bloated stagnation creeping into Tool's creativity at the time. Assured release from Keenan and a different, melodically dark company, successfully replaces crunching riffage with a slightly more soothingly eccentric palate, which produces the rare rock side project release beyond major reproach.
The songs are great. I really like this CD. I never get tired of it.
In my opinion Better than TOOL. This CD was AWESOME.Too bad A Perfect Circle has broken up and is no longer recording together. Buy all of their CD's they are great.
Consider them a band rather than a mere side project.It's rather disconcerting, not to mention frightening, to witness the number of drones around unwilling to give melodic structure a chance and brush it aside as 'not as good as.' The fact of the matter is that this is a great album. I believe that will be the only track in which I will mention specifically.
Go into it thinking it's something different, not a spin-off. The rest of the record deserves an honest and OBJECTIVE listen.
.go die. It won't change the fact that it is a worthy mention and far better than what the world deems popular these days.'3 Libras' is one of the most beautiful songs I've ever heard.
If you do that, it will make the experience more enjoyable and perhaps enlightening. A Perfect Circle is its own project in its own field.
Consider it mainstream, sell-out, bland, or whatever the junk else you deem 'applicable' to this album.
Maynard's voice is haunting and smooth, the instruments and melody will surely sent chills up your spine, but the good kind. And each time you listen to it, you find something different and special about the music. A good partner to this is the Amotive DVD. Very few times have I come across an album where every track/song was beautiful and moving. This is an album you never get tired of listening to.
