    a true supergroup

    By Yahoo! Shopping User  Sep 16, 2003 | 12 out of 12 found this Thirteenth Step review helpful

    Many rock groups in the 90's attempted to blend the sounds of the goth/altenative genre and metal; few were as sucessful as A Perfect Circle are on their sophmore effort. Those looking for Tool Ver. 2.0 need not apply. The overall sound is sim...ilar to the texture-laden guitar work of The Cure (circa DISINTEGRATION) with blasts of metallic power for addded impact. Maynard James Keenan's vocals and lyrics continue to improve with each release from both of his bands,Billy Howerdel's production shines with gem-like clarity, and Josh Freese's drumming is agile and explosive. Standout tracks: The Package, The Noose, The Outsider, Pet. Read more Less

    If "APC" was to never make another album, they left this behind..

    By Yahoo! Shopping User  Sep 18, 2003 | 2 out of 2 found this Thirteenth Step review helpful

    There is no way to emphasize how awesome this cd is. It's incredible. My personal favorites are "The Noose", "Blue", "Vanishing", and "The Nurse Who Loved Me". Musically they are some of the most beautiful ...songs I have ever heard. I was astonished the first listen because it didn't really duplicate "Mer De Noms", their first album, but grew from it. If I had to sum it all up in one word. It would be INCREDIBLE. Read more Less

    Awesome!

    By Yahoo! Shopping User  Sep 12, 2003 | 2 out of 2 found this Thirteenth Step review helpful

    This album is actually pretty awesome. At first it doesn't seem like it will be because it is so much different than their first one, but after listening to it a few times you really start to get attached. "The Noose" sends chills down ...my spine. Same feeling I got when listening to "Brena" on Mer De Noms. By far the best song on the album is "The Outsider", which, also, is quite possibly the best song by APC period. Read more Less

    Thirteen steps in the right direction

    By Yahoo! Shopping User  Oct 25, 2003 | 1 out of 1 found this Thirteenth Step review helpful

    Pros: all of the "THE" songs

    Cons: too short

    With “Thirteenth Step” the guys in APC have managed to surpass all that’s ever been created in the realm of progressive metal. The album sends you on a dimly lit journey within yourself, forcing you deeper into your subconscious. Each song aids yo...u along an emotional quest that leaves you needing more.Keep an eye out for their tour this fall. Highest possible recommendation! Read more Less

    Pros: You just have to experience it for yourself...there's no explaining it.

    Cons: The first track threw me off a little bit. But it's one of my favorites, now.

    Shut up.Close your eyes.And listen.This album breezed into my top 5 favorite albums of all time. And I'm definately not one to loosley throw that arround. I have been referred to as a musical nazi before, because I only like the best stuff out th...ere and think that everything else should be tortured and expirimented on. I must warn you...enter into the realm of this album with no expectations. Pretend you don't even know who Maynard James Keenan is and just listen to it as though it were a beautiful painting that you can so readily get lost in. If you want to go on a glorious journey through your own thoughts, buy this album and just listen. Read more Less

    By Yahoo! Shopping User  Sep 17, 2003 | 1 out of 1 found this Thirteenth Step review helpful

    I thought it was nearly impossible to live up to the incredible accomplishment of Mer De Noms, truly one of the best albums to be released in the 90's period. At first i didnt care for "Weak and Powerless", but i have the utmost faith ...in Maynard that anything he creates musically or gets involved with will turn out wonderfully. So i trusted him and I am very impressed. One breathtaking song after another. 3 Libras..APC's best song it may be, but The Thirteenth Step still holds its place on one of my favorite albums.
