 Written on July 12, 2007 Summary: I'm glad I didn't pay for this garbage. It's easy for hollywood to sit in their mansions and cry "can't we all just get along?" but for us military men trying to protect this great nation from those that want to kill you because of their religion, it's not that simple, and a round piece of plastic full of noise isn't going to stop a taxicab full of artillery rounds from detonating in front of your beverly hills condo.  Written on June 16, 2007 Summary: This CD is NOT a contradiction of the past of Maynard's creative identity, but it is stinky 3.5 Stars, actually. First, I have a couple of things to touch on. Using Tool's "Learn to swim" as an excuse to say the CD is inconsistant with what Maynard has written in the past, isn't a valid argument. That song is his attempt at waking those up whom he wants to see swim. There's such an incredible amount of people who acknowledge the world's insanities and don't do a thing about them. Nothing at all. To them, he says learn to swim. To those superficial individuals content in living an extremely materialistic life, he says learn to swim. This CD doesn't contradict that belief, on the contrary, it enforces it only in the same vein of wanting people to wake up. ESPECIALLY, when they hear the song AEnima and go along, paying for [...] jobs, scientology, and feeding into an incredible cycle of fear. His passion pooped this CD out, his passion pooped Aenima out. There's no different types of poops. Poop is poop, Maynard is Maynard. He's not contradicting his beliefs or messages, he's reinforcing them and making them clearer in this CD- especially to the individuals incapable of deciphering and comprehending the complexities and metaphors in AEnima. If a person is told to learn to swim, you can take two routes: Literally (Learn to swim in water) or metaphorically (Learn to swim in the TRUE reality of horror in this world). If you can't "learn to swim", not only are you refusing to see the world for what it is, but you're becoming a slave to a brainwashed culture. You're not human, you're not independant, you're a drone and deserve to die. It's harsh, but true. . . . There is no contradiction except by the individuals who are content in finding and using something to rile up negativity. And fear. Hell, Maynard is on Rage Against The Machine's first CD (1992) shouting, "I've got no patience now, so sick of complacence now. I've got no patience now, so sick of complacence now. Sick of sick of sick of sick of you. Time has come to pay!" No contradiction on this eMOTIVE, pure Maynard. Listening to A Perfect Circle and Tool won't make you blind, it will only attempt to open your eyes. Maynard James Keenan is one of the greatest lyricists in history and one can't possibly accuse him of contradicting his creative identity when he's reinforced it in so many ways- ways in which he won't change so those incapable of actually working and listening can see. He's stubborn, but the best artists are. In Passive, Maynard wails, "Wake up and face me, don't play dead." He's singing that to the world, and it has to be f*cking frustrating to have so many people misinterpret what he has to say. Especially when they twist it into making people "Blind". Hence, in Passive, "'Cause maybe someday I'll walk away and say- You f*cking disappoint me." I'd be disappointed too. That all stemmed from a review and comments I read on here agreeing with it. And, WELL, after saying and ranting about that, I'll get to the CD. This CD isn't in the same vein as any other A Perfect Circle CD and there is a chance that if you're a big a fan of their first two CDs, you won't like it. No song really sounds the same, but that is mostly because of Maynard's task of taking a song and completely redoing it. If you heard the songs' original versions, and liked them, you might not like this. I'm actually a fan of this CD, if you couldn't tell already. Though, this was the first A Perfect Circle CD I heard and I'll be honest- I hated it. So, so, so, so much. Though, a year later I got their first two CDs and they became my favorite band. Really. Then, well, I crawled toward this one scared and was delightfully surprised how much I liked it. So, compared to how much I didn't like it, it's a good CD. But, seeing it from the perspective of a person not obsessed with A Perfect Circle, it isn't the best CD they have. Gimme Gimme Gimme highlights the world's faith in the insane, it's one of the best songs. Passive IS the best song on this CD. Imagine is a close second and is almost better than the original. MAYBE it is, but I might be too scared to admit that. What's Going On can be the fourth best song on here. Counting Bodies Like Sheep is a remake of their song Pet, and, well, I'm not that large of fan, but it can be sixth best, just because . . . Gimme Gimme Gimme is number five. All the rest, I can't say I'm a HUGE fan of. But, if you listen long enough, eMOTIVE grows on you. Written on May 15, 2007 Summary: A Ambient Folk band kidnapped Perfect Circle and recorded this album If your a APC fan save yourself the money and just get the song passive off of itunes. The rest of the album is like a folk/ambient experiment. If you like tool/apc this is not the album you were hoping for. The song passive is awesome though.  Written on May 1, 2007 Summary: You'll either like it, or dislike it.. just like every other album in the world. This type of album is just one of those albums that many will agree, and many more will disagree. People are very protective of their political beliefs, and no one, not even a celebrity can change their minds if they are true (the people's beliefs that is). Like mentioned earlier, not all of the songs are originals.. there are indeed a few covers (that were well covered in my opinion). That being said, I like the general 'peace' vibe coming from the album; almost every song has a peaceful, relaxing melody to it (which is clearly what they were going for). That is one thing I must say of Maynard.. with Tool and APC, the way he emotes the lyrics is flawless. He projects whatever feeling the song is going for.. if it's a song with a lot of anger, he projects that anger. While many disagree with the politcal views the album is voicing, realize that it is still, entertainment. You don't necessarily need to agree with the musicians, or even understand what they are talking about, to enjoy it or appreciate it (in an artistic stance). While I really enjoyed this album, you may hate the entire thing.. no one can tell you whether it's 'good' or 'bad'.. what's great for one person, may not be for the other.. even if they have a similar taste in music. Listen to the clips provided for you, and use your own judgement.  Written on March 31, 2007 Summary: Didn't care for it too much I found myself trying really hard to get into this one when ultimately the strain proved too great. It has a couple of good tracks but what happened to the style of music heard in Mer De Noms? That's where the fan base is at, and until APC delivers, then their future might be a little turbulent. |
