    INFO: A Perfect Circle is a rock band that was founded back in 1999 and is known for being a super group made up by rock artists that had already made success with previous bands. Some of the early members included vocalist Maynard James Keenan from Tool, guitarist Troy Van Leween who had worked with bands like Orgy and Korn, and drummer Tim Alexander who’s best known for his work with Primus. But the founding father of this band is Billy Howerdel.
    He’s worked as a guitar tech for the likes of David Bowie, The Smashing Pumpkins, Nine Inch Nails and Tool. And A Perfect Circle was his opportunity to finally take the stage himself. But with a strong musical figure like Maynard by his side, there certainly were opposing arguments during recording sessions. In this video we’re gonna
    find out what inspired these guys to create the sound of A Perfect Circle?

    I still, 20 years later, get shivers down my spine whenever I hear the opening notes to "The Hallow." I listen to Mer de Noms in it's entirety almost weekly. It's arguably the greatest record ever produced.
    Fun fact that was excluded... Billy mastered it in his garage, not some fancy studio. The dude is a savant and goes under appreciated. Maynard is, of course, a lyrical genius and his lyrics connect with me on a deeply personal level. So glad those two men met!

    Maynard's words are very wise.
    Truly an individual who has touched the divine.
    This isn't to say he's anything other than a normal man.
    But he is most certainly a reliable arrow to the unspeakable in which our species is drawn to for meaning and understanding. And to me that's absolutely beautiful and makes everything he does from all three of his bands to his wine and food company all the more respectable and inspirational.

    • @corywashburn
      @corywashburn 6 лет назад

      Thanks. Give it some time and I think you'll appreciate it as much as the older ones. It's been 14 years since the last album so you have to expect some differences. I'm surprised at how they've keep their sound, however. The same style of guitar and bass sounds exist in all the albums. It seems like many are forming opinions before they fully absorb the album. People aren't noticing the subtle parts of each song and just tossing the entire album aside at face value. MJK treats each song like a puzzle he needs to solve. And I think part of that is creating a puzzle that WE need to solve. And some people are not solving these puzzles before spewing their opinions all over the place. Like everyone seems to think "So long, and thanks for all the fish" is just an innocent tribute to great entertainers, but the song is more than that. Another reason people aren't diving deep enough is people think it's all political, but there is just so much density packed into everything he's saying in each song that some people just can't seem to grasp. And a lot of that is intentional on MJK's part. He wants people to get upset at the shock value of a song, how different it sounds, because he wants them to open their mind to new concepts. Also, the notion that softer music is equal to poppier music is frankly absurd. The music has all retained it's "eerieness" from the older albums while carving it's own niche. Mer de noms was a raw, more intimate affair dealing with some heavy ideas. The Thirteenth step was more focused, vaguely focusing on the steps to recovering from addiction, while keeping each song unique and varied. Thirteenth step is noticeably softer, but I think it's a better album. Eat the elephant is softer yet, while still retaining all of their best musical qualities while heavily experimenting. It's definitely an "APC" record and I applaud them for being able to jump right back into their natural progression as a band instead of crooning for the older years as some bands tend to do, creating records that sound uninspired and grossly like the old ones. Sorry for the rant, I'm just worried that people are feeling the shock value of the album and not letting it sink in enough. I would've been happier if some of the songs were heavier but It's definitely a top-tier APC offering for me.

  • @ferrenberg
    @ferrenberg 6 лет назад +36

    Lovely video. I disagree with one point, though. I think Thirteenth Step is a heavier album than Mer de Noms, and a more straightforward record. Although there were some tracks like Vanishing, Lullaby and The Nurse Who Loved Me really heavy on ambience, I see Mer de Noms as a more experimental album, with only Judith being a straightforward hard rock song.

    • @CunningCondor
      @CunningCondor 6 лет назад

      I think it's in the sense that Mer De Noms had more of a traditional rock focus than Thirteenth Step. More songs in the previous album had more electric guitars goin' thus giving it a heavier feel overall.

    • @ferrenberg
      @ferrenberg 6 лет назад +1

      CunningCondor I completely disagree about the album being more of a traditional rock songs. Judith and The Hollow sure a straight rock songs, but then we have Rose, Magdalena, Orestes, Sleeping Beauty, Breña which have almost like a droning feel to them, they have a strong progressive feel to them. Also, songs like Thinking of You, Renholder and Over are primarily electronic songs (people seem to forget that Maynard had his industrial thing way before Puscifer with APC). That's why I see Mer de Noms as far more of an expansive and experimental album.

    • @CunningCondor
      @CunningCondor 6 лет назад +1

      I mean in terms of instrumentation. Structurally, they do break the mold, and incorporate various elements. I just mean in terms of the sounds used. Mer De Noms isn't as ambient as the other albums but still a terrific album, there's no denying that.

    • @ferrenberg
      @ferrenberg 6 лет назад

      CunningCondor oh sorry, now I understand. I'm not a musician, only a listener and wouldn't be able to disagree on stuff like that! I also do think Thirteenth Step and the new album rely way more on ambience. My favourite is still Mer de Noms, but I love all the other stuff a lot, including the new one which sounds magnificent to me.

    • @CunningCondor
      @CunningCondor 6 лет назад

      Yeah I think I've noticed with APC, MDN is the rockinest, ETE is the airiest, and TS is right smack dab in the middle. I feel like each album will have it's own separate group who favors it the most. Emotive, while still good, is the spotty one, I admit but still.

    Yo.
    Paz Lenchantin was a member of A Perfect Circle- contributing either solely or some combination of strings, bass, piano, acoustic guitar, and/ or backing vocals-
    On albums Mer de Noms, Thirteenth Step, eMOTIVe, and Amotion.
    You can easily see her in the Judith video (one of their most well known songs) playing with the band to verify lol.
    She's been touring bassist for the Pixies since 2013 and is now a permanent member of the band, and has contributed to some pretty well known bands/albums (like Queens of the Stone Age's Songs for the Deaf).
    Also has worked with a lot of well respected underground/artsy type musicians and bands.
    So a well rounded, well respected, longtime professional musician. Not to be a pain in the ass, but there aren't too many ladies in rock and metal, and even less with those accolades.
    I think she deserved a mention tbh.

    To you & those who may have helped, This is really well done. I stumbled across this particular presentation & then after seeing the other artists listed, I am impressed as a fact hungry musician. (Tim Alexander, was mentioned as the original drummer which was awesome, drummers never get enough recognition to their true contributions in any bands’ sound)...could’ve mentioned J. Freese & J. Iha in the extensive focus on Thirteenth Step though.
    My opinion, a couple graphic choice differences aside (& not mentioning the excellent, diary of a madman/ love song mashup creative feat), this is really great & informative. The writing cadence & delivery is attention grabbing & the research, factoids & quotes are exceptional coupled with the well selected slides.
    I can’t wait to watch one that’s placed easily in my top 8 (exchangeable drummers noted) The Volta.
    Thanks for making these, good work & Keep it up!

    • @Psicosferico
      @Psicosferico 6 лет назад

      +Lie Likes Music Well, that's kinda difficult to say, I think they haven't change really much over the years. I'd suggest West Ryder Pauper Lunatic Asylum but just bcs it's my fav haha, or maybe 48:13, I think both kinda resume very well their high points as a band. Anyway, going in chronological order would be ok too, they didn't release that much records. I think you'll love them, knowing just a little bit of your taste, haha. Hope so ^^

    • @Psicosferico
      @Psicosferico 6 лет назад

      +Mitch Rothwell I think they haven't released a bad album yet at all, haha. One of my favs out of Asylum is West Ryder Silver Bullet, criminally underated and hypnotizing track, should be on a Tarantino movie I think. Amazing band, indeed, I'm about to see them in less than two weeks.

    I just realized this band existed a few month ago and, today, it seems like I know them since always...
    I love all their albuns... so different between each other but so special each and every one of them!
    I shift from one to the other in terms of preferences... it feels like each moment requires "that" specific album... have identical feelings towards Tool and Faith No More albums...
    I'm just so glad I "discovered" and added A Perfect Circle to that restricted list of albums where I shuffle and whatever music comes out of it makes me smile! ;)
