The entire Thirteenth Step album is amazing. Damn near TOOL level perfect.
If it were a tape it would be worn out lol. That's how many times I've played it.
Another one that benefits from a beginning to end listening order.
Agree 100%
considering the whole albums bout the 12 step program its a heavy one
Lol they just as good as Tool. Ppl get so obsessed with Tool ...and I get it. I LOVE Tool. But this constant comparing of 3 different styles of his bands is ludicrous.
Please do The Noose! I saw them live about 4 years ago and they were SO SO GOOD!
Seconded.
@@TheeFinchLynch thirded
The noose gets me every time.
I did too they were my first concert. I saw them in Memphis right before Covid. I also saw tool soon after when I was 17. They are awesome my 2 favorite bands as my first concerts.
IMO is the one of the best albums of all time. Whole album is fantastic. My favorite song is probably "Gravity"
W opinion, this a stranger, the noose and blue are my favs.
Gravity is one of the most powerful single tracks I've ever heard!
Gravity hits me Every. Single. Time.
I agree
I love Josh's work on Gravity. He's always beyond awesome (as this one, The Outsider, unquestionably proves), but his choices on that song are just incredible.
You will not go wrong with doing all songs from Perfect Circle, they are just as iconic as Tool
A Perfect Circle is incredible. Mer de Noms is probably the most sonically perfect album of all time. Every song on that album gives me goosebumps
It's like the Beethoven of modern progressive rock.
@@VitaminJay12 nailed it
Agreed 💯%! Mer de Noms is one of the most stellar breakout album releases ever orchestrated. ♥️🕊️🙏🏻
Great track and another great reaction Polo. My understanding of this song is it was written about Layne Staley (Alice in Chains lead singer, monster voice, rock legend) and the addiction problems that eventually led to his death, but from the point of view of Layne's brother.. like the frustrated cry of a family member who can't do anything to help, but also doesn't understand the addiction that even Layne knew was killing him.
Tragic on every level.
Layne didn't have a brother, but he had a sister.
I'm assuming you meant brother in spirit.
RIP Layne Demri Mike

A running joke amongst my friends is that if "A Perfect Circle made a 'best of' album, it'd have every A Perfect Circle song on it"
Weak and powerless from this album is a great song. Hollow is another powerful song. And everyone is different dude. Music moves us in the wind among various temperature and inconsistencies . So there is no reason to just go along with the weather if it's not your kind of day. And that's ok . Thank you POLO for your time and another great reaction
Hollow/Weak and Powerless back to back live from Red Rocks is perfection and I never listen to either separately. The live versions are just on another level, especially the guitar solos
"one bullet at a time" is the clue to this song - drug abuse being an eventual "self deletion" one shot/pill/hit at a time. Also, the album's title, "Thirteenth Step," is an expression people in 12 step programs use to describe the common occurrence of people dating other 12 steppers, despite doing so being very much discouraged. I absolutely love the last line of the lyrics - "Do it far away from here" - to me meaning, "Do what you want, but just not around me."
Flood is an in between song to tie the songs together on the album. Listen to the album as a whole and you’ll understand where “Flood” fits in 🤟
Couldn’t said it better myself. Remember listening to tool the whole albums is an experience. Just can’t listen to 1 song off of albums
I feel this is an insult to Flood. It's an amazing song with an amazing buildup. Honestly one of my top Tool songs of all time.
@@eggstu I did nothing of the sort. I was telling him to put it in the perspective of the album as a whole. Bleeding heart. Stop being offended by everything. He’s a new listener, he’s not us.
How is the last song on the album a song to tie songs together? And yes disgustipated is after this but just as an outro. I think he was just put off by that very long intro ( I was for years). This whole super pretentious theory that every album only works as a whole or even works better as a whole is meaningless.
THIS- GROUND is NOT the ROCK I THOUGHT IT WOULD BE
For you who likes sad boy vibes try "3 libras" and "Magdalena"
But it's hard to go wrong with APC the floor and their music is so high and fantastic
Deftones is severely underrated. Great colab with MJK.
Oooof MJKs voice in passenger gives me chills👍
Deftones were extremely popular. They were not “underrated” in any way.
The Package is A Perfect Circle’s best song. My next favorite is Pet.
correct
What I've taken from this song is> Individuals ignorance to suicide and people who have opened up about struggling with those thoughts. To then be judged for that struggle.
I had a different take on it. Yes, there's the suicidal element but for me it was about not being drawn in and devoured by people who are committed to chaos and their own self destruction. There are just some people who are not satisfied with you throwing them a life vest. They don't want "help".....what they actually want is for you to get out of the life boat and drown with them.......
That "over thiiiiisss!!!" scream gives me goose chills every time.
Yes the greatness of Maynard ❤
…and THAT drumming 😮 WoW!
If you’re going to move into this album, “The Nurse Who Loved Me”.
Yeah it's an excellent cover of a Failure song
Pet by a perfect circle is by far one of my favorites.... Maynard has another band called pucsifer, conditions of my parole and the remedy are really good
I listened to this album a lot when I was serving in Iraq. Everyone has their favorite song, for me it's Pet.
"if you choose to pull the trigger, should your drama prove sincere. Do it somewhere far away from here!" Ouch Maynard 🤣
Favorite APC song. Been my alarm in my phone for almost 20 years now. I start every day with this song.
Spiral out, keep going!🔥🤘🏻🔥
U gotta hear some puscifer. Conditions of my parole a good start spot. On this album blue and a nurse who loved me are my favourites
I thought he'd really like the Remedy by Puscifer, but Conditions is good too.
The Package is another great song from APC.
I have the honor of seeing these guys live.
In his book, it talks about how Maynard uses his breathing training from cross country as the inspiration for his unique cadence. I thought that was pretty rad
Was literally almost finished with Lost in Vegas' reaction to this song when this popped up on suggested videos! Let's go!
Josh Freeze is the drummer for a perfect circle, I believe. He's amazing as well.
So solid. I actually prefer his style drumming to Danny's but that's just me.
Yeah he's singing in triplets when you mention that cadence. Love it! Check out some Incubus! Anything from the S.C.I.E.N.C.E. album
Thirteenth Step...one of my favorites
Great reaction as always. I like how familiar with Maynard’s idiosyncrasies you’ve become. Re the lyrics , in another reaction thread someone related that it’s told from the perspective of a person visiting hir loved one in rehab and doesn’t “get” that the person is actually suffering and not just acting out for attention.
You’ll love 3Libras by APC!!
This album means a lot to me having been through addiction and suffered from mental health issues. So excited to see you dive into maynards other works. I got to see this one live once and it was incredible. Would love to see some Puscifer as well!
Loved this song. Maynard’s style is definitely unique and there are patterns to his vocalizations. Enjoyed this a lot and the message of the song too.
In the 12 STEP RECOVERY community, those of US who are in the TOOL/ PERFECT CIRCLE
army feel that this song & a few others is about ADDICTION
My son just got a vinyl of this album and it’s amazing. My favorite APC song is Blue.
I'm so stoked on the songs you are reacting to!! You are the shit my friend!!!
one of my favorite albums ever
Enjoy
Mer de noms. A Perfect Circle is another journey worth a visit. I'm here for it. Peace☮️💜🎶
I can offer more insight as to the meaning of this.
13th Step is an album based around spiritual recovery. "The Outsider" is a song from the perspective of the "victim". They don't understand what's wrong with the person, their help is repaid in pain, and they are over the endless helplessness presented by the offender.
If you've ever cared about or attempted top help an addict, this song speaks true to that experience
One of my favorite APC songs
There's a live version of this that I recently found. Unbelievable performance. Maynard is other worldly and his scream is so raw yet perfect. You probably don't want to react to the same song again but I thought you should check it out. 💜
Orestes and In Libra are some of the most beautiful rock I've ever heard, off Mer De Noms
Listen to The Doomed by A Perfect Circle
This song was directed at Layne Staley who was good friends with Maynard back in the day according to some .
That's what I thought too? I thought it was about when MJK tried talking to Laynes sibling who had no compassion since it was something they hadn't experienced since they weren't an addict. Some are saying it's about totally different things. Music can be interpreted anyway you like I guess. 🤷♀️
This has always been APC’s ‘The Pot’ to me. And it’s glorious. Just pure power and rock goodness
There is a live version of this on one of the late-night shows that's phenomenal ❤
This album is one of the great 'concept' albums of recent times. It's thematic from the beginning....(I hate to copy and paste, but) the 13th Step is a term for when a 12-Step member hits on a group newcomer with less than a year of sobriety. It can be for a variety of reasons - emotional, financial, physical - but either way, it's someone in a position of power trying to take advantage of someone who is weaker. If you listen to the album with this in mind, it makes so much more sense. 😉 Y'all have to give Billy Howerdel his props too... It's his band and he really formed this amazing collection of talent
Yesssah!!! This whole album is amazing.
I'm excited about the future as I know you will continue down this journey of A Perfect Circle/Tool/Puscifer and I'll get to enjoy all of it with you!
I truly believe you would enjoy The Package by A Perfect Circle
Try “counting bodies like sheep” by these guys.
Josh Freeze another great drummer. Maynard knows the best musicians.
One of their best 🤘APC and Tool are both nuts live too
APC, a band really living up to it`s name
Whole album start to finish is about addiction and recovery. Pounding on the fault line (needle in the arm). Bullet (bag of dope)
In all of my life, if anyone tells me, "They were right about you.", my soul would leave my body.
The most devastating insult ever leveled at another I have ever heard.
"The Remedy" - Puscifer (Maynard's other band).
Oh hell yea!!!!! So pumped for this one, you def need to give By And Down The River a go! Never can get enough of APC
I think the meaning is about those NOT empathizing with people who are genuinely suicidal, as opposed to those crying wolf.
3 Libras fro APC is one of my favorite songs of all time
I love APC, I have 2 favorite rock bands and they are TOOL and APC.
I’m glad you like Perfect Circle. And as for Flood, no worries man…no need to like everything Tool does. Cheers!
Apparently the song is about Layne Stayleys brother. Layne was killing himself with his heroin addiction. When Maynard reached out to brother, this song was his brothers reaction.
Something along those lines anyway.
Oh damn! I'm excited to see your reaction to this one!
Josh Freise is an absolute monster drumming on this album. Reminds of some of Mitch Mitchell's work with Hendrix.
Yes, please do any/all of APC!!!
Also, sidenote, does anyone else wonder if polo just let's that spinning perpetual motion thing in the background always/constantly move or just sets it on when he records? Seriously asking, lol.
They have an amazing live version of this song on Jay Leno. Maynard killed it live.
Yup
I commented on your video for Killswitch Engage: End of Heartache and mentioned that a version of that song appears on the Resident Evil: Apocalypse soundtrack...A remixed version of this song is on there too...track 5 to be exact! It is my favorite version of The Outsider...the volume seriously can NOT be loud enough!
Song is about Layne Staley singer from AIC. The fault line is the track marks. One bullet at a time refers to shooting up. If you like down songs I highly recommend you listen to Alice in Chains SAP album, in particular the song "AM I inside" Hauntingly beautiful.
You've now done 2 of the 4 songs from Maynard's other projects that I will listen to. 👏
Please please please give "Thinking of You" and "Passive" a listen from these guys. I think you, in particular, will enjoy those two.
Love it!
There is a live version of this song that they performed on some late night show I believe that is absolutely amazing and you actually see have incredibly talented Maynard actually is. He sounds almost exactly like the album recording. If you liked this song I would for sure check that one out if you get a chance.
That's the Letterman performance.
@@menotyou8369 yeah that’s the one lol you at least knew which one I was talking about
Live version of this is awesome too.
Another Maynard project called puscifer, check out “the humbling river”
The entire "Thirteenth Step" album is about addiction.
This particular song is about someone who *isn't* an addict trying to relate and give advice to someone who is, without having any idea of how all-encompassing an addiction can be.
Kind of like that Jock older brother who yells at you "It's not that bad! Walk it off!"
Tool is my all time fav band, but APC a close second!
I was like 15-16 when this came out. It hit SO hard! This and Judith were amazing
Anything with Maynard is musical gold.
This is a concept albums about addiction. Anytime you see a song from it, it’s something related to that and drug use
It's not a song about people who pretend to be suicidal at all.
It's a song about the "outsider" being judgemental and inconsiderate to the plights of addiction, being unaware of, or refusing to acknowledge that an addiction cannot just be kicked for the convenience of the people outside looking in
If you ever want a great live performance to react to, I HIGHLY recommend A Perfect Circle Live At Red Rocks. I know others will agree too, but I prefer listening to those performances rather than the studio versions 😊 Some wonderful gems are Rose, By and Down, The Noose, and When The Levee Breaks (Led Zeppelin cover)
That’s up there with the best live albums ever. Recorded well great track list and well performed. Great recommendation!
That concert was fucking mind-bogglingly good. I wish I could download that live version of when the levee breaks on apple music.
Unreal concert for sure!!
Absolutely! It's one of the best live album's I've ever heard. It's got great covers of everyone from Led Zeppelin to Marvin Gaye, and the best versions of several of their studio music.
The live performance on Letterman is somehow even better.
You need to check out Pucifer, Maynard's other side project. Start with a fun video, Conditions of my parole LOL!
4:20 "that's like a signature thing that maynard does" nailed it. great observation! check out a song he did for the mr show movie "run ronnie run" soundtrack, entitled "ass kickin' fat kid". he lays on the "signature thing" thick, like, cartoonishly so. youtube: "ass kickin' fat kid". lol, enjoy.
vicarious "it's no fun, til some one... dies" gd maynard
Theres a live video of this song from lollapalooza Brazil, brilliant vocals and music
I'm finally catching up with all your reactions....especially Tool and APC. Thank you Polo 💜
This album is my favorite vinyl on file. Whip music all day.
One of my favourite albums! ...though I can't listen to it too much or I start getting introspective and in a weird mood.
i hope the audio quality in these videos isn't what you are hearing. This is literally one of the best-produced albums ever
I love By and Down The River by APC, though Weak & Powerless is my fave 😍
Check out Pusifier! Grand Canyon / The Humbling River / Green Valley
Another great reaction, Polo!! And now I believe that you’re ready to check out Puscifer as well. 😜
I believe that you NEED to check out The Remedy by them as well.
There are lovers of Tool, true soldiers of the Army, who love this band even more.
It's okay.
You haven't even gotten to Puscifer yet. Roll with it.
Everything Maynard touches is gold. Now trust me and check out the song Passenger by The Deftones featuring Maynard James Keenan.
I’m actually surprised that as I was scrolling through the comments(and I didn’t go all the way to the end), I didn’t see any mention of “The Package”, which I think may be my favorite of all of PC’s songs. It has a great vibe, and when it breaks into it, I have heard few songs that go as heavy. Anyway, this whole album is great. Glad you’re moving into this.
the live version on Jay Leno is excellent.
What is that in the background, those sticks dancing to the music. I want one.... 😂😂
