The songs on this Virgin Records release consist of similar dark and haunting sounds as Tool, but at another level. The writing style is very expressive and at times captures your mind and leads you away into musical storm of melodies, emotions, soothing vocals, and rage. Keenan's vocals have become a standout voice in the rock industry. The song will satisfy many Tool fans. Though Maynard fronts this band, there is a difference between the style of Tool and A Perfect Circle's.
Melodies linger throughout the album.
It does not portray as heavy and as dark of a sound that Tool can unleash. For Tool fans that are trying to satisfy their appetite for a new album may find themselves with mixed feelings. A Perfect Circle has its own identity from Tool and may not put out those heavy and dark crunches you are looking for. This website is best viewed at 800x600 pixels using Microsoft Internet Explorer.
