runt boy

word kyle. exactly what i thought. The album has a very distinct shit smell from being pulled out of Maynard's ass. The depeche mode cover could easily be cool if it wasn't for the chorus cry. this is one of the most anticipated shitty albums of the year.

Tyson's Take

For a while I worked in Corona, California building a couple houses.

Every week my boss drove my fellow co-workers and me down to experience

California's over rated treasures. Since A Perfect Circle is one of my

boss's most favorite bands I figure that over the course of driving back

and forth from California for six months I have probably heard APC's

first two albums 2,000 times. I wouldn't really consider myself a fan but

I do however consider myself a knowledgeable person of their music. With

that said I actually tried really hard to like this album but I just

couldn't. It was like I was trying to get turned on by a manikin's nubby

mound- I felt dirty, perverted, and like I needed to take a shower and

ram a pencil into my ear. The recording quality is great. It sounds like

Maynard backed up to the microphone and sprayed diarrhea all over

everything while recording it. All my friends feel the same- it's a real

let down album. Since when has Maynard cared so much about politics? I

wish he would just paint a red and black racing stripe on his naked body

and run around dusted out of his mind like the good old days of Tool.

I hit the streets with my notepad in hand to ask regular consumers their

thoughts on this horrendously bad mistake. Here is what I heard. "Who the

hell is A Perfect Circle?" "Liberal pussies!" and "Tool rocks

bro!"…Shocking.

When a cover of Depeche Mode's "people are people" came on I took a double

take at the radio and buried my head in my hands and sobbed; class A shit.

I swear whenever the cover of John Lennon's "Imagine" comes on at work I

just want to put my nail gun up to my head and pull the trigger half a

dozen times. The band covers these songs along with many others,

destroying them in the process. They even manage to massacre their own

songs with retarded remixes.

If the producers would've released it after ODB died I'm sure the album

would've been dedicated to Ol' Dirty and Maynard would've covered Wu

Tang's "Shame on a nigga" to show his love. Well shame on you Maynard,

this like I said before, class A shit..

Wow, I have to agree with the review. There are maybe two songs on this CD that I like. I just bought it yesterday and I have never been more disappointed with a CD (I feel like I burned that 15 bucks). I didn't like Imagine after hearing it on the radio, but I said to myself, "How bad could the CD be?" Let's just say that sometimes very soon (probably tomorrow) I am going to go pawn this CD hoping to get an even trade for a different CD at the local pawn shop.

The CD is garbage. I mean if I wanted a piece of shit I could produce that myself, but instead I paid 15 bucks for it. I WAS a fan of A Perfect Circle until I heard this crap. There is maybe one song on the CD that actually uses an electric guitar in overdrive, that alone would've been enough to scare me away had I known.

Fans of previous Tool/Perfect Circle albums would be wise to stay clear of this crappy CD. Just remember that this is coming from someone who owns every Tool CD and was a Huge fan of Mer De Noms. I even paid to see them in concert, but I don't know if Maynard deserves anymore of my money with this garbage. I'll admit that the next time Tool releases an album I'm going to pirate every song first. I'm too afraid that I'll be wasting my money.

It's really sad that I'll have to pirate a CD first to make sure it's any good, but I seriously have never been more disappointed with am album in my life!!!
