Rappers React To A Perfect Circle "The Package"!!!

[@egratudo1974]

back when i was an addict (i have recovered), anytime i had to go to my dealer, i listened to this song which described my situation EXACTLY!!! now i listen to this song to remind me of the terrible position i had put my self in. this is an amazing song

[@NeuroticNightmares07]

I am recovering as well. 11 years.

[@boomshakalaka8457]

I appreciate you sharing this. I hope you still good 💪🏽

[@nd8490]

Same. This whole album hits me like a ton of bricks. 22 yrs clean.

[@erikstark3250]

isn't it crazy to see things from this perspective, shit you might have even been unanticipated l unaware of

[@robertpugh9364]

Wow cuz I did the same thing

[@90FirstGenPGT]

I remember when I bought this Album (CD), peeled that clear plastic off the album, opened the CD, smelled the booklet, then popped in the disk. Press Play... This was the first song! I replayed it before listening to the rest of the album, but still proceeded to listen the Entire album start to finish. Such a great Album, it was just as good as Mer De Noms. I got this back in 2003 when it came out.

[@90FirstGenPGT]

When I went through the booklet and saw that some of the band members changed up, I was a little sad, but it turned out not mattering at all.

[@KP-xn7bq]

This may just be my favorite APC song ever! I'll be with you guys live for the drop today, no doubt!

[@NijFix]

The lyrics for this whole album were written from the perspective of watching how addiction destroys friends and families. Maynard was never a drug addict himself. I know this cos I had an APC dvd with 13th step which had extra commentary on all the tracks.

[@Audard]

This is the most Toolish song from APC. It completely stands out from the rest of the album bay far. In saying that, I still think the Noose is the best song of this album followed by The Outsider.

[@the_____project4582]

Pet kinda rocks

[@Umakiang]

Week and Powerless is absolutely addictive too

[@jirshb3302]

I disagree. I think this album flows from track to track. I'm my opinion, it's the best APC album. The concept is fucking fantastic and as an opener it definitely sets it apart from Tool.

[@relaxedatmosphere7336]

The noose or gravity are probably my favorites on this album

[@brandongrayson456]

Don't forget go back to sleep, but in all honesty the whole album is spectacular when listened to from beginning to end

[@relaxedatmosphere7336]

@@brandongrayson456 absolutely. I think they did Counting Bodies Like Sheep but the original version is Pet and is as good as anything I've ever heard

[@earthboundmother205]

I was impressed by 13th Step because I saw them live on this album every chance I got (as I did on Mer de Nom) and they slayed all day. I saw them with NIN on that album, and it made me so happy

[@beckyclark5047]

The Package is one of my all time favorites! I will never forget the 1st time I heard it. I was like holy hell! Love you guys. You guys are doing an awesome job. I love seeing your reactions. it’s incredible.

[@n9nemile]

I love how the bass foreshadows the chaotic nature that is revealed about 4 minutes in. So it makes sense that you would say the bass line doesn't make any sense... looool

[@scottmatznick3140]

Clean from heroin for 3 years. This song captures the fiend energy like none other.

[@scottybee7284]

Congrats brother 👏

[@DarenMiller-qj7bu]

Hope you're doing okay man. My brother died a few years ago from it. H destroys everything around it.

[@joannareed7443]

Time to feed the monster.. Stoked for this one guys, thanks! GREEN VALLEY -- Puscifer

[@adammichener987]

This song was the perfect opener to the show when I saw them

[@Matt-en1kn]

Yep sessanta awesome concert best I ever seen

[@NeuroticNightmares07]

This song is about jonesing for a drug, then using people to get more. Pretending to care but you don't. The singular voice of addiction. They talk and all you care about is give me this fix. It's mine. The end is after taking the heroin (likely as in another song he talks about turning blue and pushing a dragon down the hole).the softness at the end is the addiction, satiated for a moment as it fades. The frenzied song before is the cravings making you lose control. Ive lived this. And Maynard has talked of this

[@brodemonz]

Josh Freese is a fkn great drummer. He may not get all the accolades & all the high fives they're giving out but dude is solid. He's up there with the best.

[@pabloscobar958]

Fun fact the chick from puscifer sang this at maynards 50th birthday concert and man it was MADE for female voice. love this song

[@tiffanykennedy8397]

Yay! See everyone at 6:00.

[@DuggieDug111]

Why this song is so important to all of us is beyond me Lol. But I kinda find it humorous people are stoked on this one

[@mendyrckz76]

🦋This was Absolutely A Fire Song To Start Off This Album. Simply Can't Wait For Next Tuesday Already. This Has Been The First Day I've Actually Had A Break From The Hectic Holiday Cheer & Company. Glad I Was Able To Catch The Stream Today. Have A Safe & Happy New Years Everyone! I'm Looking Forward To Lots Of Change & Happiness For Us All. Excited & Determined To Make This Coming Year a Awesome & Fulfilling One.

[@mikesale6474]

When Tool was on a tour with Alice in Chains back in the day I do believe this album was inspired by him witnessing Layne Stayley going down with his heroin addiction. Whole album is great. I could be wrong so don't quote me on this.

[@microgirl3789]

One of my absolute favorite APC songs. I love the balance between melodic and dark/heavy. When the song starts and the drumsticks start tapping it gives me goosebumps every time. Not going to miss tonight! See you guys at 6! ❤🤘

[@ralfkohler3671]

As for the Tool live sets: they ALWAYS play a variety of their whole catalogue, mixing it up. Plus the odd surprise here & there. You'll love it.

[@RafaelGarcia-ov9uk]

man i love that you guys dive deep into A perfect circle. There are so many hidden gems.

[@27nine22]

As a human who struggles with alcohol addiction, I appreciate you guys taking the time to react to a song that has hopefully helped so many on their recovery journey. I fucken love this track! ❤

[@nicholasfavre2278]

I know this about an addict, but I was jamming this back in the day on the way over to a hook up, and the lyrics just fit with the mood. “I’ll take just what I came for, and I’m out the door again”

[@eianfullerton1812]

I suppose it could be about sexual addiction

[@TheBensmith5]

I’ve been waiting and requesting for a year!!!!!!!!!!!!!! So pumped

[@robertmoseley75]

It's my birthday today and I'm going spend some of my day with you guys. This will be great. Love it when you two react to anything with mjk in it

[@KP-xn7bq]

Happy Birthday Robert! What a way to help celebrate!

[@momentomori9297]

Happy Birthday!

[@Kelly30stm]

Happy birthday

[@interviolet6675]

Vanishing is my mood The serene, gentle and lost sound resonates with me It's simple lyrically but presentation is perfect 💜🖤

[@aviuss9425]

Omg I just found y'all this weekend, and through y'all's tool Tuesday to be precise. I can't tell you how much fun I've had getting off work to come home and go down that journey with y'all. Definitely my favorite channel to come kick back and listen to music with like minded people. This community is also amazing!. My one wish is that y'all can one day react to, " Veridian &White Walls" by the Band, " Between the Buried & Me" besides Tool, they are another of one of my Favorite Bands of all time. I know y'all will go on a Journey with them. Much Love guys. Can't wait to watch more from y'all. ❤️😎🥂

[@crystalscolza1663]

The song hits me in all my good parts. Even the pop and lock dancer in me wants to dance to this song.

[@chriswebb7822]

An immensely powerful song in the midst of a criminally underrated album! Soooo damn good!

[@pabloscobar958]

This and Pet are far and away my favorite APC

[@thegoatchild3545]

Finally! It is the opener of this incredible album, that's why it was so highly requested. Definitely in my top 3 APC songs. The BASS, Maynard's lyrics and delivery, the drums....an epic song. So happy for you that you're gonna experience TOOL live, boys. You are in for an unforgettable night, I guarantee you. All the best in the New Year! 🤘🤘🍻🍻🥃🥃

[@riyintocco]

You guys should do a live stream listening party when you get through all off the tracks. You mentioned you've gone through the Tool albums, it'd be cool to get through them here with ya too if it's practical for you guys! The title track EAT THE ELEPHANT is my favorite on that album btw, such an amazing inspiration.

[@guitaraholic83]

Me too! I love that song!

[@druklimack2111]

Love how yall take the journey and don't over pause the song

[@jrexplores5488]

I interpret this song from the view of an addict in search for their choice of drug. The subtleties of the tone of the song and builds up until you get what you came for. Kind of like how Gollum from the lord of the rings viewed the ring.

[@nicolegibson1491]

When he sings 'Lie', that's a melisma... He's perfected it

[@jaegermeister1968]

i love the musical complexity of this song. what a masterpiece

[@marvinpetty731]

There song " passive" is my all time favorite ! It was also on the movie ' consintine ' !!

[@markwillis675]

Bout fucking time! My fav P.C. song. I've been requesting it for over a yr now.

[@hisnextfix]

So happy you guys are going to get to see TOOL, I got to see them in Jan 2020 right before the pandemic in vegas right before they cancelled the rest of the 2020 tour. Seeing them on Jan 22 2022 as well, So glad I’m getting to experience this fear inoculum run for a second time. Saw them in 2006 in My birthplace Hawaii as well, this will be your greatest concert experience, PERIOD!

[@MattKCChiefsfan]

Been waiting for you guys to get to this gem! Hell yeah!!

[@catherinemanser8176]

Love this song, so glad you finally got to experience it. 💯❤️

[@damonhines8187]

I'm knocked out by the wood and wound wire sound of that bass, the drums are slammin', and whoa! Gotta look these guys up, last time didn't do it, this one did.

[@xJCOx]

You guys are definitely dope for sure. You think this song is great? Listen to “By and Down”. It’s an absolute emotional roller coaster from start to finish. There’s not many things that blow my mind any more, but this song had such an impact on me the first time I heard it that I cried. And I ain’t ashamed to admit it

[@TheOriginalEUrban]

This song really is like waiting around for a package though. The first couple days, you build up anticipation. Then it gets delayed and you're pissed, so you go to pick it up. Then you finally receive it, and all is good again.

[@pauljansen1137]

The lyrics are awesome...enjoy guys!!!

[@craiglindecamp9589]

One of my favorite songs by these guys!

[@helenhoward5346]

Thirteenth step was the first album I bought on my own at age 13 in 2003... I bought it with my own allowance. I watched the "weak and powerless" and "the outsider" videos on Yahoo music lol. I really loved what I heard then decided to go for it when I saw it at borders (nostalgia, am I freaking right? All the youth in my small Metro city in NC hung out there, all the sketchy hipsters would loiter en masse every Friday and Saturday night, I'm sure the establishment loved all the shoplifting). Pretty sure it was between $16-20, CDs were hella expensive but it was worth every penny as I listened to it in my portable player over and OVER, especially on the road to the beach that summer, a 5 hour drive.

[@dewaynewalker2430]

Loved your reaction from both of you y'all keep up the great work

[@AdaM-rj9pu]

This album is a story and each song a chapter, I mean I couldn’t say which one I loved the most but I do love this song!

[@jeortiz30]

Badass song right there!

[@nicolegibson1491]

I really cannot pick a favorite... They're all perfect

[@kristaspecht]

Totally loved your reaction!! Great song! Thanks guys!❤🤓

[@momentomori9297]

You guys should react to “Life of Brian (Apparently You haven’t seen)” next week!

[@TheOriginalEUrban]

13th Step: The last step you don't see or doesn't exist, and you trip over it. An unlucky step.

[@henjinuchiha2875]

Mike Patton fan here. Mondo Cane is Mike Patton and the Italian Metropole Orchestra, the material is 60s Italian theme songs. Bands that's he's in... FNM, Mr Bungle, Tomahawk, Fantomas, Lovage, Dillinger Escape Plan, Hemophiliac, Weird Little Boy, General Patton VS. The X-ecutioners, Mondo Cane, Dead Cross, and Corpse Flower. Everyone is different and that's not including the other artists he's worked with. Also sings in... English, Spanish, Portuguese, German, and Italian. Try "Crack Hitler" and watch lyrics, he screams so hard it's insane, and "This Guy's In Love With You" for great full blown beautiful.

[@sarahpope8658]

Hey guys, thanks for another awesome reaction! My grandson just had a great Maynard reaction video suggestion! The song is called Three Little Pigs and it's by Green Jelly! The music video is pretty funny too!

[@AdaM-rj9pu]

They have already done it :)

[@anthonystarke893]

I love Thirteenth Step, but Mer De Noms will always be my favorite APC album.

[@mparsons85]

Amazing song

[@blakemeads9225]

This is one of my favorite APC tracks. I would LOVE for you guys to react to Orestes Live off of the Stone And Echo album.

[@JLiottaJr]

The cover art is actually super cool. You’ll notice the eye under the yellow slug is clear, and the other one is glossy and blood shot. Yellow is supposed to represent warmth, positivity, overall good. The slug, believe it or not, often represents the spiritual side of life and are seen as guardians and helpers. That really brings together the whole concept of this album. I’m not sure if you’ve done “feathers” yet, but that is next level APC

[@TheEternalElir]

That's so cool. I've never noticed the eyes before 🤯

[@scottlefaivre6889]

I love the fact that he understands addicts I've been wanting some point in time in this life so much understanding. 🗑️🗣️4️⃣🧬

[@Freddy_Confetti]

Maynard fan for life now. Welcome to the club

[@jimbartholomew4469]

Finally!!!!

[@simonturner3515]

Maynard also sang in 'the human experiment' 21st century schizoid man cover of King crimson.

[@plexus]

Y’all need to make a review video after your Tool show. Going to the Dallas show on Jan 31 for my 12th Tool show. Can’t wait.

[@savageintolerance6350]

You guys are awesome ! Love from Norway!

[@annastone6615]

I think this is about dealing with drug dealers. If you've ever picked up drugs from someone, you smile, you chat, and are friendly even though you just want to go home and use.

[@johnanderson3475]

this whole album was and is still flame!

[@Kelly30stm]

Can't wait for this one!

[@KP-xn7bq]

Watching this one 2nd day in a row! I enjoy seeing these two react to the songs I fuck with. Thank you both! Happy New Year! 🎆 Be safe and stay well!

[@earthboundmother205]

Twiggy And Danny Lohner from NIN play bass on different tracks on this album, as well as Paz Lenchantin, their actual bass player, at least at this time. What an album.

[@richtigersoan]

Let's get them guys reacting to Talk Talk already

[@kimenglish8889]

Y'all need to listen to 3 Libras, The Outsider and Weak and Powerless by A Perfect Circle. 3 Libras demonstrates Maynard's beautiful, melodic voice. Also, The Remedy by Puscifer.

[@an1malsr0ck]

Amazing song!

[@bryanmack5410]

When Hollywood says "oh lawd" like an old southern woman, I smile.

[@TheBensmith5]

Helllllllll yeah!!! Finally!!!!!!!

[@joshuacanipe7688]

Halfway through I'm predicting its Hollywood's favorite apc track.

[@jerichozeplin]

Also A Stranger is my favorite on this album

[@rgonzales91180]

Love ❤ this song!

[@Brotha_Teresa]

Just give me what I came for Then I’m out the door again

[@brianneilsen5078]

If you ever thought Maynard’s D didn’t have a voice. Listen to this song again and stare at the title.

[@morrisgautreau6704]

This begs the question for me, still! Have you guys listen to Lateralus from front to back yet? Nearly an hour and twenty minutes of pure heaven! If you haven't: What are you waiting for? Just get out the CD and do it already! 🤘🏻👨🏻‍🦲👍🏻🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶

[@Hollywood6IX]

We have

[@jimmyodonnell3580]

Just do MJK everyday.

[@burnthetubs]

13 Steps from 1 to 13 is an experience. My favorite road trip album.

[@zackzaharko89]

One of my favorite’s off this album. Definitely could have been on Tool’s Lateralus album. Great reaction guys!

[@spacetimearchitect3318]

Ayy where yall going to see Tool? I'm really happy you guys get to go. I'm telling you, right now, it will be one of the most significant spiritual experiences of your lives. I've seen them around 15 times now and it's like going to church for me. I can't wait to hear yalls experiences.

[@ConnerSpeed6]

Shoutout Garbage Pail kids, y'all! 🤘

[@cikame]

She does have beautiful eyes, i've looked at this album art a lot :P

[@m0t0rbr3th9]

Been watching you guys long time, great job! The Noose , gotta do it. I grew up 70s, so I lived through and was huge fan in the metal /rock/seattle music.You guys gotta do some really deep Priest like My favorite Dreamer Deceiver......

[@RonMortensen]

This right here ... 👏

[@jessicacarman180]

Tool is an experience live.. so much more than music

[@RobbieDigglers3rdEye]

Such an amazing song!

[@the_____project4582]

Josh freese on drums for their first 3 albums. Best session drummer and drummer for The Vandals

[@EverendeverGroup]

This is the bass player from Marilyn Manson's band on this album.

[@gregoryrobb2604]

Thats dope you guys got Tool tickets.. I can't wait to see them live in Colorado Springs! Cool APC song does kinda remind me of a tool song to..

[@GeniusSays]

You guys 100% missed the Counting Bodies like sheep to the rhythm of the war drums official MUSIC VIDEO. You got to do it 🏆

[@innocentbystander1853]

Puscifer - Bullet Train to Iowa (Live at Arcosanti)

[@eggstu]

"Gravity" fits this "13th step" concept so well. I also thought this song was about a person lying/manipulating someone to get laid. Listen to it again as if he was talking about pussy. However, it's obvious more about drugs once I understood the album concept

[@low3703]

If you are interested react to WE BUTTER THE BREAD WITH BUTTER - 20KM/H. Super fun German metal.

[@mouseshadow5828]

There's one Tool song you haven't heard...THIRD EYE - SALIVAL

[@ralfkohler3671]

About fucking time.
