I was just about to fall asleep when I thought to myself "I better check the internet for some feedback". Then it hit me. I had to come back here to see what has changed since I released this album. I am happy with what I am reading here as of right now. You are all a great crowd with a collective that penetrates through the meek and disgruntled. SowingSeason is right, in a way. I did not want to do those songs, my producer is like an eggshell in a blender. Sometimes it's fun to test him, but the end result is fractured nonsense. At any rate, I would consider eMOTIVe a cover album. But then again, that would mean I covered Passive from myself. Anyhoo... the t shirts are all out *frown, but there are more free A Perfect Circle memorabilia on the website as we speak! Gotta run now, Joe Rogan wants me to sit through his boring conspiracy hearings, aka another podcast. Namaste.

Aiwaz, thank you for your support. You're a real trooper my guy. Maynard is currently not taking questions about the new Tool album. This is purely about A Perfect Circle and wine. If you have questions about Tool, hang tight! You could also visit https://www.toolband.com/store for more information. Our lord, savior, and salvation expert Maynard James Keenan has designed, approved, and distributed several new pieces of A Perfect Circle merchandise. Today we have brand new "Eat the Elephant" tube socks. Because of how *amazing* the Sputnik crowd has been, we are giving away one free pair of socks with each purchase of an "Eat the Elephant" pendant. Please visit the A Perfect Circle shop (https://store.aperfectcircle.com/) and use the promo code SPUTNIK at the check out. Thanks for buying the album.

Mer de Noms should be a lot higher. For it's time, that album was original and turned a lot of heads.

Same with Thirteenth Step. Really glad Maynard got creative control and had the band go in a softer direction there, resulted in the best album he's been involved in besides Lateralus and Aenima.

MdN is still best for me. I rarely, if ever, skip something.

The only thing that always lets me down is Over. That song is such an awful closer.

On the other hand, i always skip something when listening to 13th Step

13th Step had a coupe filler tracks, but nothing that ruins the album overall.

Only one I skip on 13th is The Nurse

MdN and 13th both rule

I was only 10 years old when mer de noms came out and i never heard anything from it on the radio. 13th step was my first introduction to maynard. I remember I heard "weak and powerless" on 99x in atlanta and loved the vocals then I heard "sober" by tool and I thought it was the same band cause i recognized the vocals. I later looked into it and realized the story. But yea I guess I just have a nostalgic feeling towards 13th over MDN. Both epic albums though

'Ello all. It's me, Meanard. Just wanted to say how much I appreciate all of these remarks. Duly noted. I will try to remember how you all feel the next time I am in the studio getting music recorded. My apologies for a sub-par album that doesn't appeal to late teens with brain damage. Anyhoo, there are still some beer coozies left and some AP Eat the Elephant tee's with the alternative album art available. I'll keep in touch, Maynard...out.
