    "The last ever dolphin message was misinterpreted as a surprisingly sophisticated attempt to do a double-backwards-somersault through a hoop whilst whistling the ‘Star Spangled Banner’, but in fact the message was this: So long and thanks for all the fish." - Douglas Adams

      on facing certain death, the guide says this;
      "what to do when faced with certain death: consider that life has been good to you. alternatively, if this is not the case, more likely considering your situation, consider that it won't be bothering you much longer"

    It's pretty unsettling how much this song is an anthem for the end of a generation of people. Considering everything is linked to the 50's through the 80's, during the birth of the "Time is money" mindset, the cold war, the music video being set in a 50's period, plastic surgery becoming a thing during their generation...it kinda all works.

    “For instance, on the planet Earth, man had always assumed that he was more intelligent than dolphins because he had achieved so much-the wheel, New York, wars and so on-whilst all the dolphins had ever done was muck about in the water having a good time. But conversely, the dolphins had always believed that they were far more intelligent than man-for precisely the same reasons.”

    The song's music was originally written by guitarist Billy Howerdel, and intended for his solo project, Ashes Divide. However, he often presents music intended for Ashes Divide to band frontman Maynard James Keenan to see if he has interest in writing lyrics and vocal harmonies for songs to become A Perfect Circle material instead; Keenan chose to use the song because he felt that "People are going to hate me for this one, so let’s do that."

    This song has aged hauntingly as I lost my friend Leia to suicide. The line about Willy Wonka, Major Tom, Ali and Leia has a new, more personal meaning.

      The Stormborn This song isn't really Pucifer. Maybe some of the other songs are heavily pucifer influenced... Even a couple songs seemed more Nine Inch Nails influenced, but art is about embracing creativity. Maybe if we embrace the new APC we will get hear a brand new Tapeworm album with Maynard James Kennan and Trent Reznor. How fucking epic would that be!?

    This song feels to me almost unlike any APC song before it. And it’s great! Extremely catchy and upbeat, but with some dark undertones. Love Billy’s guitar riff and the orchestral touches.

    • @rmarsolek1981

      Um... Some dark undertones??? This plays right into the Dissolution theme. The take away I get is that we are doing this all wrong, but we have brought something hook line and sinker. What is being sold and glamorized/celebrated as progress is in actuality regression. I'm waiting for the day JMK takes off the mask and is shown that hes actually Morpheus.The Matrix is gonna be pissed...

      It took me a while to comprehend this song, when I did whoa, it all made sense.
      The entire song, melody, harmony, lyrics are an allegory to how society mask the nuclear warfare dangers and tensions with joyous capitalistic consumerism.
      I, didn't understand the first time I listened to, so it sure sounded weird, the 2nd time I captured better the melody and got interested in interpreting the lyrics, then I saw the blatant nuclear bombing references through the entire text, then I perceived that this song is beyond perfect.

      Right?? If they're complaining, they clearly aren't fans of what Maynard has put out there the last nearly 3 decades now. Literally every album, regardless of which band, has been different than the one preceding it. But every album has been genius on it's own merit. If you're gonna compare new releases to older ones & expect similar every time, you're gonna be disappointed. And shame on those who do just that.

    Seems like a lot of people always cloud their own personal opinions about a band's new album by letting nostalgia get in the way. There's way too many people criticizing stuff through comparison instead of looking at something as its own thing. Personally, when a band I like that I consider to have a lot of talent comes out with a new album, I'm hoping its going to sound different from their previous stuff. I don't want talent to be wasted on the same sound over and over, I wanna know what else they can do.

      Zylph sure, but some of this album could have been edited or tweaked a little more to give it extra punch. There are some slower moments when you could be forgiven for thinking the tape has broken mid song. Maynard's vocals dominate the album, whereas guitars and drums generally take a back seat. The style of Puscifer can't be denied, and it is about on a par with Conditions for my Parole. The final track, Get the Lead Out, is a sleeper, especially with Keenan's knack for arching vocal melodies in that grey echo style of his.

    • @MrJackstar123
      @MrJackstar123 6 років тому +2

      I mean... get the lead out is my favorite track of this album. Sometimes in music, you get to a point where you can't really objectively say if something is good or bad. If you get into it and really start feeling the flow of a song, then for you its perfect, nothing needs to be changed. If you cant get into that vibe, then the song isint for you and that's ok. It's just a question of personal taste.

    For the last time: musicians don't *owe* their fans anything. Artists don't create art for audiences, they create it for themselves. If you like it, you can buy it. If you want to see them perform, you can pay for the privilege. If you don't like their art, save your money. No one is forcing you to patronize them.

      James Amaral you're right. Keep your negativity to yourself everyone. Hate has no place to be placed but burnt to ashes and left behind.

      People are totally within their rights to say they don't like something. But acting like they're owed something is ridiculous.

    I really like hearing his voice in tender songs. It still has a dark aggressiveness to it, and it keeps those tender songs grounded in real emotion

    I had no idea Maynard was a Douglas Adams fan. In the long dark tea time of the soul, this song will keep me warm.

      Many of us don't immediately think UA-cam when we think of musicians, and clearly neither does Maynard. They have like 12 videos total here.

    Time is money and money's time
    We wasted every second dime
    On diets, lawyers, shrinks and apps and flags and plastic surgery
    Now Willy Wonka, Major Tom, Ali, and Leia have moved on
    Signal the final curtain call in all it’s atomic pageantry
    Bravissimo hip hip hooray
    For this fireworks display
    Mind and body blown away
    What a radiant crescendo!
    Ticker tape parade
    Our hair and skin like
    Marilyn Monroe
    In [?an afterwind]
    Time is money and money's time
    We wasted every second dime
    On politicians, fancy water and guns and plastic surgery
    Like old Prince and [?] mom
    All the dolphins have moved on
    Signaling the final curtain call in all it’s atomic pageantry
    Bravissimo hip hip hooray
    What a glorious display
    Melt our joyous hearts away
    Under the mushroom cloud confetti
    Hip hip hooray for this fireworks display
    Mind and body blown away
    What a radiant crescendo
    Hip hip hooray
    Hip hip hooray
    Ticker tape parade
    Our hair and skin like
    Marilyn Monroe in [?an afterwind]
    Time is money and money's time
    We wasted every second dime
    On diets, lawyers, shrinks and apps flags and plastic surgery
    Now Willy Wonka, Major Tom, Ali and Leia have moved on
    Signal the final curtain call in all its atomic pageantry

      It's a reference to "Insignificance", a 1985 film by Nicolas Roeg. Marilyn Monroe talking to Einstein about the end of the world in a nuclear holocaust. A profoundly moving piece of cinema.
