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 Lead singer Maynard James Keenan sings about a culture in which any long-run planning has been replaced by a futile attempts for instant gratification: "We have been overrun by our animal desire/ Addicts of the immediate keep us obedient and unaware."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

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

These new songs are ass

I feel like I saw these guys live at just the right time (winter 2003).

Wait, holy shit, that is the REAL album art?! I thought it was a joke!

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.

I told you guys months ago that these songs sucked.

That Tool album better be fucking good.

let's be realistic. maynard is past his creative prime. not sure about the rest of the band...

That artwork is huge bummer. Don't think I could actually buy that album

I preferred these guys when they had their Mer De Noms line up.
