Who else picked up \'A Perfect Circle\'s new cd?

I remember when the \'A Perect Circle\' released \'Mer De Noms\' I loved the album, but my opinion on it was that it came across as a less focused Tool effort. Still, the album got a lot of play in my cd player at home and in the car. It had some great songs. Now after waiting all this time , their newest album out. Wow, what do I have to say? This album is amazing. It is a lot more focused and the band has obviously matured. It\'s slower, but it\'s also more progressive than the previous effort.

A lot of these songs blend together perfectly, but a few stand out , namely \'The Package\', \'The Outsider\' and \'Noose\'. Oddly enough, out of those songs the only one I see being a possible single is \'The Outsider\' and that\'s a far-fetch. You can tell the album was meant to be listened to completely, and not as a bunch of possible radio singles.

Brave and progressive album.
Love it!

It comes out on Sunday.

I\'ll get back to you then.

You say it\'s better than the original albumn? Awesome, Mer De Noms is my second favorite albumn of all time.

I was expecting it to be much more progressive than the last..

It\'s more mature. Some of the tracks don\'t rock you hard, but they aren\'t meant to. It\'s more moody, with songs like \'The Nurse who Loved Me\' and \'Noose\'. Still, when they do kick it into high gear, you\'ll be smiling ear from ear, at least I know I do.

I have to say my only complaint really is the fact it\'s short (12 tracks) and two of those really are filler-tracks in my opinion, and those are \'Blue\' and \'The Vanishing\'.

I think you\'ll really dig \'The Package\' as it starts off mellow and then all of a sudden hits you extremely hard .

Somewhat off-topic, but still APC related, have you had a chance to listen to the \'Weak and Powerless (Tilling my own grave mix)\' remix off of the \'Underworld\' soundtrack? I picked that up last Sunday and it\'s a lot harder. It\'s almost as if they recorded two different versions and wasn\'t sure which to put on the album.
And while I prefer the remix, I can safely say it would of hurt the flow of the actual album.

No, I\'ll have to check that one out. I\'ve always thought the song needed to add a bit more power.

Well curses to you, Licky! No it makes waiting the next few days even more difficult!

I would say that after another listen, the song \'Noose\' is now my favorite APC song, which means a lot, when you compare that my previous favorite was \'3 Libra\'s .

God, I love this album. I will have to catch them on tour sometime.

I sometimes download a CD before it comes out if it is one by my favorite bands, but then, of course I also buy it the day it is released...
