[@FarrFromPerfect]

Something special about this song. Not sure what it is - but its like finding that box in your basement that has that stuff you remember. Then you just sit there, in the living room floor, opening the box, holding the things, so full of emotion. Then you look up and time has past, the world has changed. You feel different.

[@YeOldeMachine]

The feel you're describing, I got the 1st time I listened to Undertow, Aenima, Lateralus, and 10,000days. Sadly, I didn't feel that here.

[@FarrFromPerfect]

You have to keep in mind this is not Tool. This is APC. So the feeling is different. When Mer De Noms (or whatever it was called) came out it felt familiar but distant. The key thing was it wasn't horrible so you stuck with it......then it grew on you........then you couldn't live without it. This song will get there with you, it just needs the rest of the album to accompany it.

[@YeOldeMachine]

You're spot on there. Mer De Noms was almost there, but felt unfamiliar at the same time. Every APC album just got further away for me. I think my association for Tool was so strong, at such a young age, that I'm just connected to it in a way I can't connect to anything else...but it's Maynard, so that's what I want. I dunno. It's confusing to explain. Tool hit me so hard and so fast in a way I had never experienced music. At the time I was probably 12 or 13. I just connected to it immediately in such an intense way. The videos, the album art, the culture. It felt like it was tailor made for me. I crave that feeling something serious, and always hope for it with APC.

[@mcculleyg]

Agree, a special song but similar feel and message to the old stuff. It's been a decade or so since I listened to Tool or APC in heavy rotation, so this new song (and video) is both jarring & haunting, like Tool was in the beginning. This song drags with it an eerie authenticity, like Maynard has returned from the afterlife with this song as his bleak and honest revelation.

[@shivavyapti3645]

I love both but, APC > Tool

[@thearunrams]

This is so dark and honest. I don't know why people think saying stupid generic things about happiness will help you when you're in a shitty place. Sometimes what you need is just honesty. For someone to acknowledge how absolutely fucked up life is.

Many may be but as for those with faith in the Gospel of Christ we are not, the Spirit of the one true God dwells with us. Now is truly the time to repent and believe the Gospel of Christ

[@robertyee6563]

FNX League no Meynard is pretty antichristian. Only a Christian would listen to A Perfect Circle and think it's about their Religion.

[@fnxleague1552]

Robert yee that is true and that is consistent with the behavior and actions of lost souls. But even the lost can spout truth in moments and not even understand what they are doing. Art is something that means different things to those who behold it. The lyrics do describe the culture of antichrist. It’s okay if you disagree with me but when you stand before your creator you will realize I am correct

[@fnxleague1552]

[@andrewlockett4569]

Yeah, possibly. Except that the majority of people around don't know who Maynard Keenan is, they just don't. He's not like Bono or Bowie or Geldof et al. Go to the opera or a classical concert and do an in house survey, bet they won't know who the flip you're talking about. Polite society simply have never been exposed to his artistic endeavors. Not yet anyway. Imagine rocking up there and unleashing a grab of The Grudge, or Third Eye to such sensitive ears!!, hehe. What fun. I'm guessing when he's done with musical expression, he'll shift formats that will give him greater exposure amongst the conservative majority out there. He's already done some of that with blogs and wine writings. Though I can't see Tool or APC ever getting bona fide mainstream airing. Because remember: Tool is the biggest band in the world nobody has ever heard of. Test it out.

Perform on a green screen , have someone skilled in visual media tell "you" how to act and how to look for the video. Revise everything and publish to the public.

[@darkowlmusic]

I love the message this whole album has in each song!

[@megapax1015]

Expressing without expressing these guys are giants in the rock music industry Maynard you are the best I have ever knowed

[@mstirlz]

Crazy how hard this hits right now

[@eyelove_owlcity]

This is one of the truest songs of all time

[@gravyfish4684]

Prophetic.

[@fodz9246]

I've been following Maynard my entire life and he's never let me down.

[@rickquent8328]

I love when the good quality bass drum comes in. Chills my spine

Precioso. Estuvieron con madres en el knot. Ya los extraño! Maynard te ves perfecto 😇

[@digoutyourMUSEsoul]

Si, fue lo mejor del knotfest a pesar de que mucha gente solo fue a ver a Korn.

[@victormann9357]

Interesting lyrics. Pretty spot on in our current state of affairs. They highlight some of the issues facing us today. Though we've faced many of these issues before & in some cases we continue to face them; IMHO not necessarily to the degree that they are now occurring. There's a war against the poor. The meek & well mannered. The merciful & the kind. Chronic pain patients. Those with the audacity to think for themselves; to question authority. There's plenty more of course but I digress from those mentioned in the lyrics. My apologies. Now as for those mentioned in the lyrics I agree with MJK. It's a sorry state of affairs. The weakest & the poorest are suffering disproportionately at this point in time. That would be why I'm taking the time to comment. I do so; that others may be encouraged to contemplate what is mentioned in the song as well as my comments in response to it. Hopefully this will help draw attention to said issues & generate some response to them. Even if I only manage to reach a single person it becomes worthwhile. As the issues are to important to wait on acting upon as for some it'd be to late if it isn't already. So please take the time to look at these issues or better yet act upon them! Thanks to all who take the time to read this & my personal gratitude to those who take action on the issues. Even if it's just posting about them elsewhere, discussing them with people, or spreading the word on social media. Every little bit helps. Even better would be to contact your Congress person or other members of government & let them know your opinions on these important issues. Encourage them to act! Act now before the opportunity to do so passes us by & we don't have the chance to change things. If we act now perhaps we can avoid becoming "The Doomed."

this stare down with Maynard is the only stare down that makes my heart want to explode and cry....

[@anationofsilence1807]

Catherine Gito The Contrarian is unreal too

[@FPOPGaming]

The most underrated rock band in the last 30-years.

[@toprak3479]

Seriously. And imagine how insanely underrated this band world be if Maynard didn't carry some of Tool's fame over.

[@stusmith496]

For sure

[@outragedamerican1149]

Nothing MJK does is underrated. He receives acclaim for basically everything he does. Undervalued maybe?

[@MrAgmoore]

@ODIN Force already been done - James in an ice cream van, wearing a dress.

[@TSPH1992]

@@MrAgmoore I could see him do that

I love bands that have eloquent thought provoking haunting lyrics that not only make u feel their empathy but make u long for a place u feel uve been even though it's never really existed

[@freddygutierrez9178]

I love old APC albums, but this one is the most meaningful with an extremely powerful message

[@landocalrizian923]

It is a modern masterpiece. It makes my heart happy.

[@kcheaden]

100%

[@TechOutAdam]

This song may just be my favorite on the album. This song is filled with and brings so many raw and deep emotion for the current state of many things going on. This one hit my hard in my heart and I can’t stop listening to it.

[@whackm]

I've watched/listened to this song at least 20 times since I've found it. Thank you for speaking the truth Maynard. Society is worshiping false idols, and we're doomed unless our collective anger boils over. #optout

[@kevincrawford4392]

Don't you mean "collective love boils over" though? 🤷🏽‍♂️🤷🏿‍♂️✌🏼

[@abraxaz777]

why why can't get enough of this song....first i qas like qas the hell with their steady faces then after trying a candy wow...there's a whole out story out of this video....best of the best

[@writetovagelis1975]

such a simple ..and yet so powerful video.

[@abstractjak4301]

Profound and prophetic music.

[@JohnDunstonDrums]

Such a great song in its brutal honesty. I have so much to be grateful for but I have enough empathy to see the suffering of others all around me. The sad fact is that there is no omnipotent God intervening in the suffering of the righteous, innocent and helpless. Their is no omnipotent God intervening while love ones die young of disease, while children are raped and murdered. Love and cherish your family and friends. Their existence is invaluable and life is brutal, beautiful and short. “The new be attitude, good luck your on your own.” But I do believe our consciousness may continue after this physical body dies or at least we can hope for as much.

[@Sleepnow84]

Why is this video so simple but still so intriguing?

[@SilakkokFriend9F]

The overlaid faces of Maynard and Billy @2:19 make for one trippy image

[@DannyGordon-x9n]

This is my election results anthem right now

[@matthewchaney6684]

Right there with you, my friend

[@Simsim3e]

Yup

[@brentprieur6130]

I lost my best friend last September and we always connected with APC. I get so sad that he'll never hear this album...do me a favor; hug your loved ones. Tell them how much they mean to you.

[@TSPH1992]

1 year too late. But I am sorry for your loss

[@brentprieur6130]

TheSporehacker thank you my dude!

[@corey501]

What of the pious, the pure of heart, the peaceful? What of the meek, the mourning, and the merciful? What of the righteous? What of the charitable? What of the truthful, the dutiful, the decent? All not doomed 🌹🌹🌹🌹😌

[@donkeytoucher]

This came on my Puscifer-based Pandora station, didn't know who it was exactly but loved it and said if this isn't Maynard, he's trying hard to sound like him. When I looked it up I was happy to see a new APC track. Replaying this a lot and loving it.

[@andrewlockett4569]

donkeytoucher you must be joking, how could you not recognize the genuine article immediately?? No other vocalist sounds remotely like Keenan.

[@emiliabarbosa8160]

A perfect circle is my favorite band

[@ifancyurmom]

I was a little worried Maynard may not of had a unique voice anymore because he’s older. But hearing him on this track makes me excited for ANY new content from ANY band.

[@crystalfarley7359]

Barry Macokiner I saw APC a few months ago, and Maynard's voice was like velvet. He still sounds as good as he ever did. That show was freaking phenomenal.

[@michaelgreenwalt2547]

Unetheral.? The voice speaks for itself . Literally . Lol check out David Cross about ' Literally '

[@chadalmasy3829]

Check out Puscifer if you want more of him, too. A little mellower and weirder than APC, but still a fine listen.

[@alexpaul7299]

Barry Macokiner Check out the new release, Disillusioned.

[@andrewharris1391]

I absolutely love Puscifer. A LOT of Tool fans hate them, but I find them almost as good as Tool & APC, IMO

[@dreamdrummen]

You know that a song is a Masterpiece when it does'nt lost vigency through time ....what it proposes is still current at this day

[@Tanner-James]

Uhm.. Am I the only one freaking out over getting to finally gaze intimately into Maynard's drooping eyes for a prolonged period of time after nearly 30 years of never seeing more than his gyrating back in music videos?

[@JakeTaco83]

Tanner Kline Seen his documentary Blood into Wine?

[@GamingWithPayne]

There are no words that can truly speak to my love for this group of musicians. A Perfect Circle has changed my life in many ways. I can associate some of the best and worst times in my life with their music. I traveled 1400 miles to see them in Sacramento, CA and I will see them in Seattle tonight. "We're all fucked."

[@francescap.9486]

enjoy it man :)

[@francescap.9486]

+NickPlayMusic I live in Europe and I would do the same

[@saturninebear]

Perfection. Of the circle variety.

[@peterogrodnick5693]

It’s one of their top tier songs that they’ve ever released, it’s just so fresh, so creative but so APC.

[@tidalwave_music]

So basically James Iha doesn't age?

[@fuel20]

And still not once in his life shown an ounce of emotion.

[@KingOfTheHighF]

I dunno man, he told a joke on stage this year when I saw them....although I can't remember if he laughed or smiled......

[@pryapysm]

TIDALWAVE ......he uses Calgon

[@tutsybassista]

It's an oriental trait! At times, I still get carded for alcohol and I'm 41!

[@MrRaErickson]

TIDALWAVE he's Asian. When he hits menopause it's all over.

[@AnaPereira-ue3rf]

Love it. Perfect.

[@Jinho46and2]

In my opinion, APC has always had a darker tone than MJK's other work. Tool seems darker to the ear but is more spiritually themed. Puscifer is just a fun outlet. APC is so internally reflected.

[@grigoryzinovyev]

Yes, you're right but APC is not only Maynard's thinking, Howerdel's input is in there for sure.

[@mrlolster2144]

Tool is definitely darker did you forget about songs like prisonsex?

[@Jinho46and2]

mrlolster Not at all. As a disciple of mjk since 93 I understand the magnitude of the lyrics. Yes Opiate and Undertow are amazing and dark but APC gives a glimpse of the soul rarely seen in music today.

[@TechnicJunglist]

I agree.

[@andrewlockett4569]

Patrick Williams Tool is darker. But only just. There are parallels, especially due to the writing of Keenan. The music is another story.

[@TheNothing6]

What of the pious, the pure of heart, the peaceful? What of the meek, the mourning, and the merciful? All Doomed All Doomed That gets me every time!

[@aderi31415]

When I saw them back around 2000, he was just playing with himself. He had one hand down his pants for the entire song.
