A Perfect Circle - Eat The Elephant (April 20, 2018) Album • Page 9

I like this the more I listen, very solid comeback album.

 

Feathers feels like the true closer with Get the Lead Out being an afterword of sorts.

 

yeah ok this is getting better with each listen

 

It's the perfect closer for this album and even their career, if that's what it turns out to be. Almost 3 Libras or Orestes league in its devastating emotional impact, but seems to have an even firmer sense of resignation and finality.

 

Agreed. Speaking of Mer de Noms tracks, Breña doesn’t get talked about enough. One of their best.

 

I think it's because it's sneaky good. It creeps up on you and all of a sudden you realize it's been pretty amazing for a quite a while.

 

"disillusioned" is such a cool song

 

Honestly I'm shocked how much I like this, it's the perfect chill for me. I think the beginning half might be stronger, which I don't think is a super common viewing? Maybe that'll change as I listen more.

 

The main beat in Get the Lead Out could totally be on some sick ass trap song haha I love it

 

Yep lmao that threw me off but it’s pretty cool

 

Love this album...gets better with each listen.....favorite of the year thus far!

 

You were never an island

 

Great album. Favorite songs are So Long And Thanks For All The Fish, Delicious, Hourglass, The Contrarian, and The Doomed.

 

Such a grower. I now have one or more of these songs stuck in my head all the damn time.

 

Nice little 5 minute video review of the album that’s pretty spot on

 

So Long And Thanks For All The Fish has been stuck in my head for days!

 

By and down the river is my favorite song on the album and one of the best APC tracks I’ve heard.

 

TIME IS MONEY AND MONEY IS TIME

 

Honestly was stuck in my head all weekend, song is such a jam

 

Make sure you check out the 2013 version from their compilation disc if you haven't yet. IMO that one's much better with thicker layered instrumentals and Maynard not pulling the hokey vocal styling he does on this new one.

 

So I listened to this in full finally. Overall I like it. My biggest complaint is that the first 10 minutes or so really seem to drag. The first couple songs are fine on their own, but together they just make for a really slow start to the album I feel. From "The Contrarian" on the album is good to great though.

 

I feel the opposite. The first three songs set a great atmospheric start, and then come the jams with So Long/Talk Talk.

 

I really love the opening track

the atmospheric slow jams really give Maynard’s voice a platform to stretch and shine through

 

I dunno. Maybe I just need to give them more time. Disillusioned still doesn't do much for me and the title track didn't really on first listen either. The remaining 10 have been much more immediate.

 

Disillusioned is one of my favorites on the album
