    Mer De Noms is a masterpiece of an album. Not a single bad track. My personal fav is The Hollow--beautiful melodic guitar work on that one. As far as the musicians, the main songwriter and guitarist is Billy Howerdel and before forming APC, he was a guitar tech for Nine Inch Nails and Tool

      The Hollow is an amazing track, it also is the only track on Mer de Noms to feature Tim Alexander, the drummer from Primus. It has just a little different feel than Josh's drumming for the record. Both are incredible, of course.

But I also know that it is subjective, and you may indeed love them. Merely my subjective recommendation.

      I can relate. This song to me represents anyone who’s ever felt rejected, slighted, or ignored. That realization that no matter how strong or loving our feelings are towards someone there’s that chance they may reject us and not feel the same way or not even give us a chance to even know us at all.

    This is one where you really ought to read the lyrics! Maynard’s mother was in a coma for like 9 years before dying, and this song deals with some very difficult childhood emotions. It’s a really powerful song! I think you should check out Wings for Marie parts 1 and 2 by Tool. Those songs have more amazing lyrics regarding his mother and her faith. Incredible stuff.

      3 Libras is not about his mom, it's about so called friends of Maynard who were not close to him out of true friendship but were just leaching off him. He mentioned they all have birthdates around the same time and share the same zodiac sign, Libra. He also mentioned it's actually 9 of them and he named the song 3 libras so they all would have to figure out who are the three he is referring to in the song. It's all on the video commentary off their aMOTION DVD.

      ​@@dclarkmusic Maynard's very first comment before all of that other stuff was simply "It's about being overlooked", so associating it with painful childhood memories is not outlandish. What the song stirs up in you personally is always more important than what the "intended" meaning is. If you allow that stuff to fully come up and really become present with it and the music, listening to music can be downright transformative and therapeutic.

    The acoustic guitar is so simply written, it's surprisingly easy to play, and to me when a composer can write something so simple, and yet so impactful, that is one of the marks of a true masterclass on great composing. This is definitely one of my favorite songs ever.
    The lyrics are truly amazing, please give them a read. The build up towards the 2/3 mark of the song is almost like when you hold your emotions in and then they boil up and then BOOM you are feeling everything you've been holding in for so long. At least that's how I view it when I listen to it.
    I could honestly talk about this piece for an hour and why it's so good, but honestly, learning every part and playing it myself is about as rewarding if not more.

The one he sold his soul to. I havent play this in years and years. Long long before completely waking up to who truly runs and control the music industry. It is a Master-Piece.

So the song is playing, and my buddy steps into my room, stops and listens, closes his eyes and listens, then his head lowers and he listens to the finish. He turned to walk out without saying a word and a few steps out of my room I hear him sniff. I read the lyrics and it hit me... He had been in love with a girl who lived on our floor in college who never considered him more than a friend.
