A Perfect Circle

Post by Stickman »

yea, there's a Tool thread, but APC needs their own.

AND they put out new music yesterday!



A Perfect Circle recount the ills of society on "Disillusioned," the second new song from the band's upcoming full-length.

"Disillusioned" starts from a place of defeat. Lead singer Maynard James Keenan sings about a culture in which any long-run planning has been replaced by a futile attempts for instant gratification: "We have been overrun by our animal desire/ Addicts of the immediate keep us obedient and unaware."

While Keenan offers some respite ("Time to put the silicon obsession down/ Take a look around, find a way in the silence") "Disillusioned" is hardly a rallying cry. The tone remains muted and somber throughout. Passages of defiant guitar and rowdy drumming are eclipsed by a mournful piano melody.

"Disillusioned" will appear along with "The Doomed" on a new 10" vinyl release due out March 9th. Both songs are also set to appear on A Perfect Circle's upcoming full-length, which does not yet have a release date. The band's last LP, Emotive, came out in 2004.

and this from Oct!

This is the most casual and unposed shot of Billy Corgan I've ever seen.

Same here. Their artwork has always been pretty good, but fuck me this one is stupid. I liked it when Maynard hid in the shadows.
