NEW APC IS BETTER THAN YOU

The new Perfect Circle album ROCKS. It was far less political then I thought it would be. And Billy Howerdel sings on like half the album. The addition of Danny Lohner was an EXCELLENT choice that leads me to believe they have really found their sound. I bet the next APC album will sound similar in sound/style. For the "cool kids" who don't like it because alot of it is covers all I can say is: The music is all different then the originals in fact the only thing similar is the lyrics that Maynard is singing. (Which by the way his voice is TOP NOTCH. I'd go so far as to say his most experimental yet. I like the joint singing by Billy and Maynard. I've been waiting for Billy to start and it finally happened. And as always, Maynard has chosen songs that can be interpreted in more ways than just political. I give the album 2 VERY big thumbs up. P.S. Don't listen to it on shitty speakers.

hell yea. its fucking rockass.
it seems like maynard gets bored with his singing and is experimenting a lot with his voice. almost every song on the album has a different vocal styling.
but danny lohner isnt in APC anymore. he was on the first album, but he and paz, the bassist left. They were replaced by Jeordie white on bass and James Iha on guitar (from maryln manson and the smalshing pumpkins) i do think the change in members contributed to their shift in sounds... its a lot less airy and reverbish than mer de noms.
but yea... this album rocks. peace, love and understanding is my favorite song on there right now... but counting bodies like sheep to the rythm of the war drum is a close second.

Ball hairs?
Danny wasn't on Mer de Noms that I knew of. And if he was he's back on eMOTIVe. Paz is back as well. Her strings are obviously hers.
Maynard's singing is, like I said, his best yet. VERY experimental.

I really like it too. Gives me something to listen to since I'm depressed the day after the election...
Although, I must say I don't prefer Billy's vocals. They aren't as present and powerful as Maynard's (but who is?)
It rocks. The pissed off NIN-style of "Counting Bodies Like Sheep..." is fucking brilliant.
Reznor and Lohner I think both do some work on Passive, which makes me wonder... could this song be a product of Tapeworm???
The end track, the Joni Mitchell song is gorgeous...

Renholder = re:d.lohner
yea, he was on mer de noms.
or maybe the video i have of him with the rest of the band playing the hollow live on craig kilborn was cunningly faked!

Maynard has a much more powerful voice, but the change is a nice new pace. Maynard is the best though, and you can't mess with the best..
I was also wondering if Passive was a Tapeworm song. I read the liner notes and thought... HMMMMMMMMM???........ It's a great song.

Passive was a tapeworm song.
Look up "vacant" on your friendly neighbourhood filesharing network.
APC played it once live and Reznor went apeshit as the song wasn't finalized.

Handy list.
Except "When The Levee Breaks" is a public domain song... an old blues tune. Zep just made it famous

I thought it was a Memphis Minnie and Kansas Joe song. I think it was originally recorded in 1929...

"When The Levee Breaks" is my favorite so far.. the vocals are incredibly trippy and mesmerizing..
now i'm listening to Counting Bodies, and it sounds pretty cool.

I was disapointed with it. I thought it was ok and it had a few awesome songs. I just thought as a whole the album slacked. Maybe I should listen to it some more.

Try and listen to it on a good system. It makes all the difference in the world IMO.

It's a heavily edited version of Pet I guess.

Yeah, there you go..
I mean, they're ALL heavily edited. Why wouldn't that count as a cover if all the others did?
