A Perfect Circle: Guild Edition


A Perfect Circle being one of the most influential bands I've listened to has also become my favorite, and so I decided to make a general thread for discussion on them among members. The most intriguing thing to me about APC is the artistic beauty in not only their music, but also the lyrics and the vibrant imagery they can convey. The most prominent example of this effect would be the entire Thirteenth Step album, but that's not saying Mer de Noms doesn't have its moments in songs like "The Hollow", "Orestes", "3 Libras", and especially "Brena".

After a couple years, these would have to be my favorite songs by A Perfect Circle that have withstood the numerous plays by myself and overplays on the radio:


The Hollow, Magdalena, Judith, Orestes, 3 Libras, Brena, Over, The Package, Weak and Powerless, The Noose, Blue, The Outsider, Pet, Gravity, Passive, Freedom of Choice, and The Hollow [Bunk Mix].

It was funny, when they came here on the 13th Step Tour, they ******** up on the intro to Pet, half the crowd was just like "huh? o.o" But anyways, I think that Mer De Noms was my favorite, save one song; Magdalena, I just couldn't ever like it, and I still can't. I dunno, but I did like the whole idea behind 13th Step, and really wish we would have gotten a music video for Pet or Gravity. stare
PostPosted: Wed Feb 02, 2005 7:27 am


Well assuming it wouldn't be at the quality of Outsider and most of eMOTIVEs videos. I like Magdalena pretty much for the lyrics and sound. Sounds awesome live, too. =) (gotta edit the first post and stuff)

Eww.. eMOTIVe had horrid videos. It was kind of a big let down, but Passive was a damn good song.
PostPosted: Wed Feb 02, 2005 7:59 am


I thought the Passive video was a good start on raising the level of their videos. The Mer de Nom videos were the best, and they've slowly gone downhill until eMOTIVEs which took a plummet.

Added the promos and updated news.
