46 and 2 is the best song. (Did I leave that out?) Yeah, f*cking brilliant bass intro.

i have been a tool fan since aenima was released, but perfect circle's last release made me loose a little respect for maynard.

One thing I haven't been able to figure out in Eulogy is if they're eulogizing an actual person and if so.. who? Bill Hicks, (ironically) L Ron Hubbard?
Sorry I left out some other greats: Hooker..., Stinkfist, etc[/QUOTE]

I think the general consensus is that the song is about martyrs in general. Whose aim is to be idolized like jesus. But their heart isn't in it, they are just loooking for fame.

(sorry, but I didn't like Opiate because it bordered on being punk).
[/QUOTE]

Punk! :lol:

[QUOTE=In Chains34]
Two things that annoyed me... Maynard mispronounces "solace" and he says "void of hate" when he should say "devoid of hate". Other than that? Tool ****ing owns. [/QUOTE]

Maynard says what he wants, with references to the songs we may have a celarer picture of what you are getting at. Lyrics to tool songs can be read straight from Maynards hands @ [url]http://toolshed.down.net[/url]

When Maynard played the least part in that album?

[QUOTE]Punk![/QUOTE]

lol, are you calling me a punk or laughing at the fact that I called some of the album "Punk"?
Sorry but saying "**** everything" with quick riffs in the background sounds a little punk.

Cool, I was hoping they weren't just talking about one person... Gives the song more meaning.

i'm not sure if your questions been answered, i saw tool play the grudge there last tour. amazing.

I've not lost respect for him since the latest apc release, i just like apc as much. I still appreciate what he does, just wasn't a fan of the remixes and covers. with the exception of passive. i cant get that song out of my head.

I like A Perfect Circle, I'm seeing them when they come to Boston. However, I AM hoping that they have more songs like "Judith".

I was saying Opiate is no way punk.

The first few pages of this thread are on Eulogy, check em out.

Hush and Cold and Ugly...

i respect maynard a lot, so a little lost doesn't change much... i wonderd if perfect circle's last album was a cop out so maynard could focus on tool more?... it just seems that tool's image contrasts so with perfect circles... i have see both, and both deliver...

I think APC's last album was a political statement, knocked up to prove a point...that the world is sh!te and people should think and vote.

Yup, Emotive was garbage despite my slight interest in politics.

It wasn't garbage, Passive, counting bodies and Imainge were cool. And the idea of the albumw as to get people to take a deeper intrest in politics.

a perfect circle had the best stage set i have ever seen... maynard sang behind a drum of fabric and his shadow was projected onto it from behind. they played in this forest of metal trees. the ends of the branches lit up. lots of shadowy folded fabric too... like a david lynch movie or something... does anyone know where i can get trees like that? the acoustics Sounded like crap though... the mars volta opened for APC and I COULDN'T EVEN HEAR THEM.
sang is a stupid looking word.

The mars volta and APC. B@stard, you shouldda bl0ody heard em!

mars volta's new release compaired to tool's new release, i don't know what to be more excited for...or maybe system of a down?

I'm ancipiating tools new stuff, but I don't know what to expect, a new sound of tool or the same type of stuff but different sound (if you know what I mean)...Maynard forever!

i anticipate some great tribal souding drumming...

Mars Volta and Xiu Xiu are big hits around my friends.
I like my **** heavier. Those bands are very good and talented but it just doesn't whet my musical taste.

So i own Lateralus. And i think It is an amazing album. Im a little low on cash so i dont want to go out and buy all of them, so which album would you reccomend to me? thanks.

Aenima

Yup, Aenima is def the best.

aenima
its great, listen to 46 and 2

I think maybe their last album was just a quick release cos they had to do that to stick to the record contract terms or seomthing, they havent had too much love with their label

what is it with only the Ænima CD?? i mean come on...its good and all but what about the songs off of Opiate,Salival,Undertow...Lateralus?? i think a good song is 4° (4 degrees) but i do agree with you on Ænema and Forty-Six & 2 being awesome songs...!!! \m/ lOuD iS lOvE!!!

Watch the weather change..... :)

A friend of mine, who is also a huge TOOL fan, told me that their last album, Lateralus, was written like the steps of the Kabbalah. Each song was, in a sense, written about those steps. The only song that wasn't written in that format was "Ticks and Leeches", notice that it sounds a little heavier and different from the rest.

If you are referring to Thirteenth Step, I have to agree. It was a big disappointment for me. It really lacked cohesion and punch. I did love Vanishing however. I havent been able to hear most of emotive yet...

eMOTIVE was A Perfect Circle's last release. And Thirteenth Step was a great release, but I can respect that you may not enjoy it.

why does anema have so many tracks and when is the new album comin out?

To answer the first question, it is probably because of the many shorter tracks, ie: Intermission, Message to Harry Manback, Die Eier Von Satan, Useful Idiot. I can't see why anyone might complain about an album having too many tracks though. (You didn't, but I'm curious to why you asked)

Secondly, a release date for the new album has not been set. As far as we know, writing/recording is still in progress.
