    The whole "Eat The Elephant" album was unique (to me) in the pantheon of A Perfect Circle offerings - so much so it certainly divided the fans. Personally, I loved everything on it. Maynard had a lot to say (as always) but they found interesting, and very melodic ways of putting that on display - and this song certainly exemplifies that!!
    Great track. Great reaction. Cheers.
