A Perfect Circle - Eat The Elephant (April 20, 2018) Album

More like speculation thread

 

Whatever this is I'm here for it.

 

What if APC and Tool decide to drop their albums on the same day... in 2078

 

let's dooo thissssssss

 

I heard The Doomed is a single.

 

Where did you hear that?

 

Saw them in April, and they were a fine-oiled machine. This album will be excellent.

 

Single, correct? October 17.

Also shows the release date is Oct 17th.

 

I was skeptical they'd use that as an album title, so this makes sense.

Also, I seem to remember a recent Billy or Maynard interview where they alluded to putting out songs one at a time, so I'll try to keep my hopes for an LP down for now.

 

Whether it's a single or album they're definitely worthy of their own thread at a minimum!

 

Just one more day

I'm liking that new song, tbh it’s just nice to hear Maynard on something again as it’s been a few years since Money Shot.

Also that new song auto-played onto the Judith Video and that sure did bring back a lot of memories of watching MTV2 back in the day.

 

Hmmm..... for the first time maybe ever, I think his age is starting to get to his voice. He sounds... off, here. I like the song overall, but he's starting to sound old

 

Yeah he does a little, I guess that's to be expected he is over 50 now. I'm on my 3rd listen now and the songs growing on me everytime.

 

Full single art.

 

I can't tell on the verses whether it's that or an intentional thing he's going for. I do think the softer vocals sound slightly overproduced, probably to compensate. It is a bummer when you consider the past 10-15 years have kinda been squandered for both bands.

 

Cool song. Maynard def sounds more subdued here.

 

I'm like Oprah with the likes right now, because I'm so excited to have a new APC/Maynard song!

I definitely agree with the vocal opinions here, but I definitely love the song!

 

Song is up on Apple Music too.

 

Yeah I like the track. I guess I should have expected Maynard to sound different.

 

Downloading new APC on a fall night with the windows open had my brain all 2003... almost burned it on a CD to go for a walk with one of these:



Really though, this is pretty fantastic, questionable vocal snippets aside. Musically, it sounds straight from the TTS era with a bit of new flair. I always thought TTS had this cool, unique horror/nightmare vibe to it that this fits right into... and I can't remember anything in the 14 years between that's really sounded similar.
