A PERFECT CIRCLE Blue Composer Reaction and Dissection The Decomposer Lounge
The entire 13th step Album is worthy of a review, dear mr. Geebz!! But I guess you already know that!
I used to throw this album on as I fell asleep every night. One of my all time favorites
Definitely!
I second this!
Their best album imo.
Absolutely!!! Yes! Please! Absolute masterpiece đ đ đ
I'm still here! The whole 13th step album is awesome. The last song "Gravity" is especially beautiful and moving. The album is best appreciated in one listen from beginning to end - definitely a concept album.
I am... surrendering, to gravity and the unknown
Such a great album
I choose to live
Correct ser. Will be listening to that next...
gravity is such an incredible song... but yeah, as a recovering addict, the whole album is just so good.
A song that strikes deep. Still makes me misty.
In my honest opinion. I have never heard any front man better than maynard. Taking into consideration his vocals. And his songwriting. A absolute genius.
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'm still here.
I can'T decide what project of Maynard i like best. Tool is untouchable, 13th step is pristine and several songs from conditions of my parole by puscifer make me tear up every time. My favourite singer of all time for sure
I love Tool, but I also connect more emotionally with A Perfect Circle. âOrestesâ 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!
Was always partial to Thinking Of You off MDN
Fun (Tragic) note from Greek mythology- Orestes killed his mother and was then haunted by the Furies for his crimes until Athena stepped in. Lots of symbolism floating around in a simple song title.
OMG... Maynard is GENIUS! I named my SON after Maynard James Keenan! 22 years ago! And now my son is a genius guitar and Bass player!!! And plays Cello!
Billy tends to get overshadowed by Maynard so it's nice to hear his talents get some love.
And like Maynard's other band Billy actually contributes to the writing of the songs lyrics in a perfect circle.. since Maynard is a reactive artist he often doesn't add anything until Billy put down all of his ideas
Tool for the mind, APC for the heart, Puscifer for the fuzzy tingle times.
This entire album put me to sleep every night during the hardest time in my life many years ago. I think itâs a masterpiece. I also agree about the Tool comparison- I mean DUDE- itâs 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.
This was my sleep album for a long time!
Tool in the morning, Puscifer for the party, and A Perfect Circle to rap it all up.
đđŒ(And NIN for my sex-tracks)
You and me both
And, I used it as a wake-up alarm. Great way to start my day
They are INCREDIBLE live!! đ
âVanishâ is also mesmerising from this album
Seconding that
Absolutely
Besides Maynard, the other main creative force behind A Perfect Circle is guitarist Billy Howerdel. Check out The Stone by his other band Ashes Divide to help discern his contribution to the APC sound. Billy has a solo album coming out this year, and I'm excited to hear it.
please do not underestimate James Iha , or Matt McJunkins, or Jeff, they are all great artists performers and composers, A Perfect circle was formed as a Supergroup.
@@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.
I think the first two albums are Troy on second guitar and those are my fav albums.
Mine too.
Howerdel was also a former guitar tech for NIN and Tool
Man it never gets old seeing you enjoy these songs that I consider classics at this point for the first time
The Noose, Pet, Nurse Who Loved Me... Bah, the whole album! You must hear it allđ
Opeth and A Perfect Circle in two days...Love it. What fantastic bands!
If that song isnât 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 donât 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 Iâve 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 musicâs break downs of Mer de noms as itâs all theory to see just how nuanced Howerdelâs and MJKâs brilliance juxtaposing runs in even their first LP .
Eat the Elephant is criminally underrated đđ€
@@jinabrasser9439 Guilty . I bought it day one . Took a superficial listen wasnât in the right mood for itâs mood and put it away for a couple of years ... Iâll shamefully admit . One day surfing through the library my 2yr old liked the album art and I was letting him pick the music and it hasnât left my Top 20 rotation since .
Yes!! This!! đ
I misread that first line as, "That song isn't even relevant today with its...", and I got super confused. I STILL haven't checked out iXi music's content, and I keep meaning to. Thank you for the reminder.
@@Arakiel9 Yes her channel has some easy to understand deep dives for sure . Yeah there was a bit of an implied dialect inferred in the first sentence as part of the statement . I amuse me thatâs all that matters in the end .
Itâs absolutely amazing how much you are able to understand the story of songs without ever listening to the lyrics. Itâs 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 wasnât sure how to put that into words.
đđŒ
"Mistook the nods for an approval" is one of the most clever lines ever, considering the context of the song. Great tune
Memorable line!
This was definitely one of my first Perfect Circle songs that got me into the band. Still one of my favorites because of the tone and vibe of the chorus.
Interesting story about this song: Billy didn't intend for this to be a song. He was just setting up the recording equipment and he and Josh improvised the bass and drums. Maynard later heard it and liked it so much he talked Billy into making it a track.
Also if you listen to the bass, there are lots of little differences and Billy sqid in an interview, if you hear that abd think, oh wow that's interesting, is that on purpose? No it's just me fumbling around a bit
13th step got me through an awful part of my life, and I'm grateful for Maynard and company for putting it out.
Same here.
Same. This album is perfect.
Before watching Geebz I didn't appreciate how layered some songs are, especially APC who I started listened to again after the Judith react.
So happy you went back in for more APC, this album is so fantastic, start to finish. I really hope you'll do "Noose" next, I'm so keen to hear you decompose the engineering on that song. The drums on that song, while minimalist, just hit you so hard. I'm still here for all that you do!
Thank u so much! I am new subscriber since yesterday and I've become addicted to watch your videos. I love APC and this is one of my favourite songs. Can you please react to WEAK AND POWERLESS đ Saludos desde MĂ©xico â€
6:49 to 6:54 contains an all time great moment in my musical journey. That moment makes this song APCs greatest song.
Thank you for reacting to this
This song gives goosebumps everytime!
Still here!
Another track off this album with similar vibes is The Noose. Talk about getting some chicken skin going, that one will do it.
Iâd recommend taking a look at their wiki to see all the different members of the band over the years - so many talented musicians that have been in highly influential bands. So many distinct sounds and voices that reflect the variance from album to album, iteration to iteration.
This is a "close your eyes and dive" song. Wonderful.
One of my favorite APC songs! Great choice!
Thirteenth Step is an absolute masterpiece both musically and lyrically, and Blue is one of my favorite tracks...so deep and moving. Also, I completely understand your regard for APC. I'm a huge Tool fan, but APC has always had the ability to strip back my emotions and stare directly into my soul.
I'm in the same boat. Started off fascinated by Tool, now much more an APC fan. I agree, I think it's just where we are in our life's journey. Maynard is an intelligent enough performer to diversify his outputs to cover more people. I certainly appreciate it.
No need to apologize for what you like. You do you man, the rest of us are just along for the ride!
The Noose A perfect circle
Still Here!!!
Awwwright!đ€
An absolutely perfect album
Our favorite decomposer decomposing and recomposing his soul while decomposing out favorite songs!
Dont stop! Lol, the next song is amazing!
I was at the first show when they kicked off this album tour on Halloween Night in San Antonio. What an experience. Maynard was dressed in full clown costume, his shadow cast on a screen in front of him by a spotlight behind him for a few songs before breaking through and continuing the show with those huge clown shoes. It was great.
I was at that same show!! They opened with vanishing. One of the best shows I've ever seen!
Still here! Only stop early if something comes up!
Still here. Highly recommend Dredg as a combination of heavy and melodic from the same era of music. Whoa is Me, The Canyon Behind Her.
The entire El Cielo album! Same Ol' Road, Sorry But It's Over
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.
This song is absolutely insanely good and I'm still definitely here.
Mate Iâve followed you since you started and I have never been disappointed with your reactions. The breakdown from you here is brilliant and explains a lot to someone like myself who loves music but doesnât understand the nuances of it. Love ya work mate and Iâm so happy that you can enjoy this music as much as i do
You are awesome don't apologize and don't change we â€ïž you!
I actually got into APC before Tool and is is songs like this that really cemented MJKs absolute mastery of emotive lyrics, If you get a chance watch all the videos that were made for Blue after a competition to put in a Video storyboard, they made 4 of them as they were so different and opened up meanings of the song
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!
WOOHOO MORE A PERFECT CIRLCE!!! Thank you for doing another one of their songs! They resonate so strongly with me and I love hearing your take on their music!
Still here! Always until the end of every video Herr Geebz. đ
The lyrics in this song hit home for me, and I like that you started to pick up on them. They remind me of my one and only psychedelic journey, many years ago, repeating to myself "I don't want to know, I don't want to know, I don't want to know." You may know what I mean, yeah?
A cool thing to me about poetry, and Maynard is very much a poet, is, like music and much of art in general, it can mean one thing to the creator but land differently with the receiver. Whether that's what the creator meant I don't know but it means something to me, hits an emotional chord, and gets me to reflect on my own life experience, and I dig that.
I dove straight into the deep end, the shark-invested waters, and it was too much. These days I'm keeping it in the shallow end, because I've never quite learned how to swim.
This album is perfection. So poignant and beautiful.
This is my all time #1. Iâm glad you appreciate it as much as I do.
My go to album for my a long run. Something about it is haunting, many thanks!
I'm still here!
Still here. The harmonies are what get me on this track, too.
Finally some MJK. đ
I'm still here. I have learned so much from you on this channel. Thanks Geebz!
This song, the entire album and Mer de noms are masterpieces. I absolutely love it! đ„đ„đ„
I'm always still here
It's ok Geebz, you can say it. At this point in the journey, you lean more towards APC. And frankly, I have as well for years. Not a knock on Tool, I absolutely dig many of their tracks. However, I can go through an entire APC album with different bliss and enjoyment than Tool.
Yesss this was one of my favs for a long time đđŒ
Such a cool guitar sound with the delays, very calming track.
It's bass guitar mate ^^
@@gabrielnowacki so a guitar?
Man, months ago I used to listen to your videos while doing homework but kind of stopped going on CZcams (idk why, just kind of happened), but I'm glad that you're still uploading more and more great stuff
Thank you Geebz
It's probably just me, but I get reminded of David Sylvian sometimes in this (who's voice I love too)
I'm still here..! âïžđœ
Definitely enjoy the Middle Eastern quality. A lot of Nu Metal and Alternative/Indie Rock groups use different types of music to take you on a journey
God this is so good. The whole album is a win. You post a 13th step song, then I'll be clicking that like button!
One of my favourite APC songs
A great album all the way through. Thank you for always taking me deeper.
More APC PLEASE!! đ I'm still here too!! Great reaction/analysis!!!
my favourite song by them - glad to see you react to it
Iâm still here đ€
And I love your commentary & analyses đ
This is one of those that bring me back years in time... I can see the events and people...
Awesome shirt Geebs!!! AWWWWRIGHT
Excellent song choice for APC, and Happy Friday to ya, Geebz!
one of my favorite albums... start to finish...
Thanks Geebz for helping me appreciate APC in a new and exciting way. Happy Friday everyone!
One of my fav songs from Thirteenth Step, pure brilliance!
I love all the (small) nuances they have put in there.
This record as a whole is fantastic just like Mer De Noms.
Geebz, have you ever considered doing full album reviews?
Epic album.
Probably one of my favorite apc songs
Still Here man!
This album really resounded with me when it came out and still does things today. Thanks for the reaction.. would you consider doing "Pet"?
Not only am I still here, I am always here. Love it. Absolutely love it. Keep going on your journey. Eventually you will be up to speed with the rest of the true fans, for all of the bands you choose to review. Keep it up Brother!
As always, I'm still here :D
Think this was the first song I heard off this album. I would have been hooked anyway, but I was super hooked after this one, just an amazing song, so always nice to hear how you break it down!
Wow! This one plus Katatonia's Takeover are two of my favorite all time songs and you reviewed both this week. Thousand thanks! Still Here.
Totally felt that stretch/groan in the beginning! đ€đœ haha
Keep talking man, I'm still here!
More of a perfect circle. The noose is my favorite off that album. A perfect circle is my favorite. And absolutely agree with and like them for the same reasons. Apc is a medicine
Iâm still here!
Still here bro! I just love your reactions.

It's all good bro! đ I not only respect your professional opinion, but your having your own opinion!
I have been a fan of Tool since the first bass lick on Sober back when it came out, then years later after living under a rock called the Army, I had no idea that APC was even derived until I was working in Iraq in 2004. Mind blown and loving that Maynard is spreading his artistic genius out to other projects! đđ€â€ïžđŒ
Im still here, bud! To the end and beyond, man!
Still here! Love to hear that you are leaning into APC more. 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,!
Great song. Their 1st 2 albums are amazing. Got to see them on both tours.
Circle back to APC! Sweet! Looking good Geebz. Hope your shoulder is better.
Still here!
Thanks sir
An epic tune from APC, one of the darker ones but hauntingly beautiful.....and still here btwđ
"And Mike Patton" he throws out as an aside!
Love love love A perfect circle. Nothing that Maynard does is half assed. Always brilliant but different. Enjoyed your breakdown. đ
The noose and Brenda are other awesome APC tracks!! I'm a diehard APC fan and strongly encourage more APC songs for you!
Still here as always Geebz. This whole album is beautiful and far and away my favourite from this band. Check out "Pet" which is my favourite APC song of all time
