    This song and The Noose are absolutely gamechanging on this album. I love this album, man.
    EDIT: I also like APC more than his other bands. Josh Freese on drums man. From The Vandals to Nine Inch Nails to APC, that's a drummer that gets around.

    I love Tool, but I also connect more emotionally with A Perfect Circle. “Orestes” just destroyed me when I saw them perform. 13th Step is the better album, but there is some pure gold on Mer de Noms.

      I don't know my dude. Mer de Noms is lighting in a bottle. Especially if you were there as a TOOL fan waiting to find out just what the first APC album was going to be and it blew all expectations. We didn't even know if there would be a second APC album. And just think that in 2000 we got this wonderful trilogy of albums released from APC, Deftones, and Radiohead. Yes, there were others but man, what a succession of releases in such a short time!

    This entire album put me to sleep every night during the hardest time in my life many years ago. I think it’s a masterpiece. I also agree about the Tool comparison- I mean DUDE- it’s TOOL!! But when you need to relax and vibe with complicated simplicity these are the guys. Thanks for the Nostalgia brother.
    Ps- they sound just as beautiful live! I remember they were throwing guitar picks at each other the whole time just to goof off. It was funny. And Maynard also did stand up comedy between each song. It was a sight to behold.

      @@pablerry I'm not taking anything away from the musicianship of the current lineup of A Perfect Circle. However, none of the people you listed were part of the original "supergroup." There have been numerous lineup changes in this band, with only Maynard and Billy as consistent members throughout (and Josh Freese almost from the beginning). All are great musicians, but I said "the other main creative force" because Billy Howerdel has always been the primary music composer, and Maynard, the writer of lyrics and vocal melodies. Creatively, it has always been their collaboration.

    If that song isn’t even more relevant today with its message of willfully ignoring reality ...man
    Like others have said the 13th Step is worth exploring as a whole and don’t sleep on Eat The Elephant as a whole album is a genius work with layers buried in the music theory worth exploring too.
    MJK is a brilliant and talented artist for sure ( one of my musical heroes) , but Billy Howerdel is a sleeping giant in terms of his craft of music .
    I get you Geebz I’ve been a Tool fan since a friend played undertow a cassette tape of it and I was not sure about it so they made me a dub , but APC , Puscifer both have equal time shifting which I appreciate more lol . You in your own time should check out iXi music’s break downs of Mer de noms as it’s all theory to see just how nuanced Howerdel’s and MJK’s brilliance juxtaposing runs in even their first LP .

    It’s absolutely amazing how much you are able to understand the story of songs without ever listening to the lyrics. It’s like you understand the feeling of the music so well that you are completely beyond the need of an explanation that words are able to conceptualize. (If that makes any sense) I wasn’t sure how to put that into words.

    Still here! The thing I have always liked about a perfect circle is the impression of continual narrative in individual albums. Especially in Mer De Noms, 13th Step, and maybe a little less so on Eat the Elephant; each song takes you on a narrative journey, and the change of one track to the next feels like chapters in a saga. Both in composition and lyrics.

Growing up, I liked Tool but it seemed like everyone that I knew was so fanatical about them that it kind of dissuaded me from really diving in. When APC came out, they just filled a hole that I didn't know was there. Keep it up, sir,!

    A comparison of "Pet" and "Counting Bodies Like Sheep" by A Perfect Circle would be a great video in my opinion. Would love to watch that! Keep up the great work decomposer!

    Good reaction, I actually kinda agree with you on APC vs Tool sometimes, it greatly depends on my mood. In my more emotional times, I need APC, but when I'm in a more thoughtful/ponderous mood, then I want Tool. Regarding the music: I'm pretty sure the bass is actually playing throughout, but during the verses he's playing high up the neck with a delay along with the guitar (at least that's what he did when I saw them live). Also, I can hear some sort of phaser/flanger on the bass at around 7:40, and it just adds some cool depth to that bridge.

    Still enjoying it all.. Thankyou so much. Blue is one of my favorite APC songs. Love the commentary, always so insightful and I agree with you, APC is my favorite MJK project, too. I still love Tool and Puscifer but APC just are the type of sound I enjoy most. Mike Patton is also one of those inimitable genuises that also reminds of Maynard. Different music totally, but equally amazing. Both diversified geniuses. Keep up the great work. Love your channel.
