A Perfect Circle's New Album

[Arioch]

Hits record stores on Election day as an Anti-Bush campaign....

This record is the first to feature new bassist Jordie White of Marilyn Manson fame.....and while i havent really noticed any difference in the WRITING of the songs i HAVE noticed a difference in the mixing....the songs now have ALOT more bass than they did on APC's first and second album....the bass is now UBER compressed and pretty fucking high in the mix.....i think it definitly adds something.....

So...you have heard it then. How is it?

[Carpe Noctem]

Wait.............didn't they just release one just last year?!

In that case....I guess I'll be getting the last one...I've had one of the songs in my head constantly. Hopefully the second is better than "Mer De Noms."

As for this new one....well I'll wait and see.

[Arioch]

The new one is basically remixes of songs on The Thirteenth Step and covers....its all political shit for the upcomming election....

But they have a song on it called "Counting bodies like sheep to the rhythm of the war drums" thats fucking kickass....i think you can watch the video on their website.....its a completely industrial remix, crazy to hear a perfect circle go industrial....

That and the Imagine cover are all ive heard from the new one, the Thirteenth Step was pretty good tho, i like it far more than their first offering....

- sounds wicked. Eminem has a song called mosh...it's about bush, it's completly direct and to the point, Is that how APC is on this new album? I think they should release it a week or two days before election day, so people can really listen to what they say. But I'm sure It'll kick ass!

[Lucid Dreams]

oooooohhhhhhh this ones gonna kick assssss.....along with the new Tool album coming out sometime in November also...i think:confused: ....but def. gonna kick ass

i guess i was the only who noticed but their entire new album except for two songs was all cover songs. and speaking of the new way they mixed oh man did the drums annoy the hell out of me. i do a lot of mixing and have done mixing with pros but never have i heard a snare sound so bad. i dont know if it was just me i know thats the sound they were going for but i didnt really dig it to much.

[Horrorfiend]

I see this album really made a difference in the election. :rolleyes:

I'll be buying this album for my brother's birthday.

I really respect Perfect circle and tool. But They shouldn't have covered "Imagine".. There is songs you should touch, and thats one of them. They fucked it up soooo bad!! Plus most metal fans can't understand John Lennon

it shound pretty good

Counting bodies like sheep to the rythym of war drums.

Thankyou for reminding me wat its called! I saw the video on TV the other night and I loved the song, but I just couldn't remember what it was called.

Heh, A Perfect Circle is pretty cool I must say.

It kinda seems like a lot of bands/people are releasing albums (or released albums) about the elections.

Goes to show how many people actually DO care about politics evewn though it sometimes doesn't seem like they do.

Ive only heard imagine once and Counting bodies (like a MILLION TIMES as i love it) and didnt really notice the drums....well i noticed they where HUGE in the mix, drowning out almost everything else, but they didnt sound particularly bad to me...but again ive only heard one song really......

You want the worst drum sound in history on an album tho : Metallicas St. Anger........75 minutes of snare drum....god....

[Arioch]

Finally got a hold of it.....

ITS GOT A FUCKING TAPEWORM SONG ON IT!!!

I thought we'd never hear a Tapeworm song fully recorded.....(the song is Vacant, for those who know about the Tapeworm Project) and APC does it up....although i wish it was just a BIT more hardcore.....still...

And the Imagine cover is REALLY growing on me....its so dark, and the song kinda lends itself well to the darker medium.....I think its great....

Not to mention the Accopella version of "Fiddle and drum" That ends the album.....really fantastic...i mean i knew manard could do it, but hearing it is totally different....

[MichaelMyers]

I thought the "Imagine" cover was pretty good. As was the video.

[Arioch]

Havent seen the video yet, but im gonna download it....the song fucking owns.....i like it FAR more than the original...flame on....
