[@ericbartha6313]

I still, 20 years later, get shivers down my spine whenever I hear the opening notes to "The Hallow." I listen to Mer de Noms in it's entirety almost weekly. It's arguably the greatest record ever produced. Fun fact that was excluded... Billy mastered it in his garage, not some fancy studio. The dude is a savant and goes under appreciated. Maynard is, of course, a lyrical genius and his lyrics connect with me on a deeply personal level. So glad those two men met!

[@shaise]

The hollow but the remix is my favourite. I love APC a lot but that one was the first song of theirs I heard and it blew my mind

[@nimitz1739]

I feel the same way about that album. They was supposed to only demos but Billy did so good they ended up on the album.

[@DarkMatterBurrito]

I had the joy of seeing APC before they released an album, when they were opening for NIN in maybe 1999 (?). We drove down to NC from VA to see NIN and when we saw APC we were like who is this?

[@mattman337]

Thirtheenth step is probably my all-time favorite album

[@LieLikesMusic]

Cool. It's not one of my all-time favs. But it certainly is my favorite by the band.

[@andrewhobbs2]

I was working at blockbuster back in my San Diego days. My cool boss let me play the new thirteenth steps over the speakers in the store. An older lady customer told us to turn it off or down. Thx for leaving a life story for me perfect circle

[@meesterdinglefritz2064]

Really? Great album, but I tend to prefer Mer de Noms. Curious how you feel about the latest?

[@rogueprince1341]

Thirtheenth Step is my favorite APC album and is in my top five favorite albums of all time.

[@rexross5189]

It’s such a great fucking record man

[@DMTInfinity]

Maynard's words are very wise. Truly an individual who has touched the divine. This isn't to say he's anything other than a normal man. But he is most certainly a reliable arrow to the unspeakable in which our species is drawn to for meaning and understanding. And to me that's absolutely beautiful and makes everything he does from all three of his bands to his wine and food company all the more respectable and inspirational.

[@riskyrobtv]

Great video. I am loving “Eat The Elephant” but Mer De Noms will forever be my favorite!

[@LieLikesMusic]

Loved your gold digger video xD And Mer De Noms is great, but 13th Step is my fav. Thanks for commenting man.

[@meesterdinglefritz2064]

Man, I can’t get into their latest. The summer Mer de Noms came out that’s all I listened to.

[@MikeMtgFightClub]

Eat the elephant is trash. We need angry Maynard again

[@rexross5189]

13th step is my personal favorite just because of the subject matter. Super relatable.

[@InkAndPoet]

@@MikeMtgFightClub it has its moments, but it's not a good starting point for the band. Mer De Noms is the ideal starting point.

[@rubaidaallen2764]

Mer de noms was and is still an incredibly beautiful album . A stunning achievement. I saw APC open for NIN years ago. Beautiful show. Wish I could relive that night.

[@clintonraubenheimer5879]

One of my favorite APC songs is Passive from the Emotive album. It was one of those songs that helped me through a pretty rough period I experienced.

[@LieLikesMusic]

I'm glad if offered you some sort of support. I feel that way with a lot of music. But APC certainly had its unique moments in my life too.

[@WendyMcCor696]

@erik r Pet

[@jamesherter9481]

Listen to the original live version. The song is actually called Vacant.

[@Pablo-ze6un]

Are you a fan of Nine Inch Nails, by any chance?

[@TitanRaider23]

As someone mentioned "passive" being "vacant "... if I recall correctly, the song originated from Tapeworm? Reznor and MJK project that never got off the ground or released rather

[@corywashburn]

I love APC because the instrumentals are unreal and crazy unique by themselves and then to have Maynard infuse his own puzzle into them is just perfect. Also, it may pertain to current events, but the lyrics are written in a way that they will be timeless.

[@LieLikesMusic]

I love the way you put it my friend. Yes both the music and the lyrics are really good for both their first studio albums. I'm not too sure yet with their last record.

[@corywashburn]

Thanks. Give it some time and I think you'll appreciate it as much as the older ones. It's been 14 years since the last album so you have to expect some differences. I'm surprised at how they've keep their sound, however. The same style of guitar and bass sounds exist in all the albums. It seems like many are forming opinions before they fully absorb the album. People aren't noticing the subtle parts of each song and just tossing the entire album aside at face value. MJK treats each song like a puzzle he needs to solve. And I think part of that is creating a puzzle that WE need to solve. And some people are not solving these puzzles before spewing their opinions all over the place. Like everyone seems to think "So long, and thanks for all the fish" is just an innocent tribute to great entertainers, but the song is more than that. Another reason people aren't diving deep enough is people think it's all political, but there is just so much density packed into everything he's saying in each song that some people just can't seem to grasp. And a lot of that is intentional on MJK's part. He wants people to get upset at the shock value of a song, how different it sounds, because he wants them to open their mind to new concepts. Also, the notion that softer music is equal to poppier music is frankly absurd. The music has all retained it's "eerieness" from the older albums while carving it's own niche. Mer de noms was a raw, more intimate affair dealing with some heavy ideas. The Thirteenth step was more focused, vaguely focusing on the steps to recovering from addiction, while keeping each song unique and varied. Thirteenth step is noticeably softer, but I think it's a better album. Eat the elephant is softer yet, while still retaining all of their best musical qualities while heavily experimenting. It's definitely an "APC" record and I applaud them for being able to jump right back into their natural progression as a band instead of crooning for the older years as some bands tend to do, creating records that sound uninspired and grossly like the old ones. Sorry for the rant, I'm just worried that people are feeling the shock value of the album and not letting it sink in enough. I would've been happier if some of the songs were heavier but It's definitely a top-tier APC offering for me.

[@brandonmunday8152]

Passive was a reworked 'Tapeworm Project' that Maynard was in with Trent Reznor. The original song was called 'Vacant'.

[@LieLikesMusic]

Hnm, thanks for adding that. Too bad the Tapeworm project never became a thing. Think their voices would complement each other.

[@markkelly1977]

Just wanted to point something out quickly. Tim Alexander was only the drummer for 1 song on Mer De Noms, that song being The Hollow which is track 1. Josh Freese was the drummer for the rest of the album and is widely considered to be the official drummer for the group before departing. He is even featured in the video for the first single off Mer De Nom which was Judith. Cheers

[@LieLikesMusic]

I get a lot of people saying this. Thanks for adding it here. I start to see that he was a lot more to the group than what i initially thought.

[@SaintTrinasTorch]

@@LieLikesMusic Josh Freese was also a touring drummer for NIN too, especially around the time when With Teeth came out. Unsurprisingly, Dave Grohl did 7 tracks for With Teeth, and Josh played all tracks during the tour. With that, Josh now plays drums for Foo Fighters. It’s crazy how some of my favorite artists are in their own circle. Maynard, Reznor, Homme, Grohl, etc. 😂 Dig any deeper you’ll tie them all together in one way or another. 🙏🏼

[@JJ-Streaming]

Josh came back to apc in 2024

[@colemarie9262]

Yo. Paz Lenchantin was a member of A Perfect Circle- contributing either solely or some combination of strings, bass, piano, acoustic guitar, and/ or backing vocals- On albums Mer de Noms, Thirteenth Step, eMOTIVe, and Amotion. You can easily see her in the Judith video (one of their most well known songs) playing with the band to verify lol. She's been touring bassist for the Pixies since 2013 and is now a permanent member of the band, and has contributed to some pretty well known bands/albums (like Queens of the Stone Age's Songs for the Deaf). Also has worked with a lot of well respected underground/artsy type musicians and bands. So a well rounded, well respected, longtime professional musician. Not to be a pain in the ass, but there aren't too many ladies in rock and metal, and even less with those accolades. I think she deserved a mention tbh.

[@tallmetalhead2307]

The new album is amazing! I’m glad the music went in this direction. As a metal fan I like to mix it up and just listen to the layers of a softer sound. Plus the vocals are beautiful and inspiring.

I fell in hard love with eat the elephant, ive had thousands of play throughs with merdernoms and 13thstep so of course i am attached to them but i can fight through the nostalgia, i will look back on eat the elephant as a classic in a few years. I listened to it every day for weeks

[@LieLikesMusic]

Wow it sure sounds like you had a crush on it. That's awesome. That never really happened to me sadly. Listened to it a couple of times and didn't give me much. Thanks for sharing man.

[@faultypremise]

Mer de Noms, silent 's'. It's French, Sea of Names.

[@loco4570]

Also a French curse words

[@ferrenberg]

Lovely video. I disagree with one point, though. I think Thirteenth Step is a heavier album than Mer de Noms, and a more straightforward record. Although there were some tracks like Vanishing, Lullaby and The Nurse Who Loved Me really heavy on ambience, I see Mer de Noms as a more experimental album, with only Judith being a straightforward hard rock song.

[@CunningCondor]

I think it's in the sense that Mer De Noms had more of a traditional rock focus than Thirteenth Step. More songs in the previous album had more electric guitars goin' thus giving it a heavier feel overall.

[@ferrenberg]

CunningCondor I completely disagree about the album being more of a traditional rock songs. Judith and The Hollow sure a straight rock songs, but then we have Rose, Magdalena, Orestes, Sleeping Beauty, Breña which have almost like a droning feel to them, they have a strong progressive feel to them. Also, songs like Thinking of You, Renholder and Over are primarily electronic songs (people seem to forget that Maynard had his industrial thing way before Puscifer with APC). That's why I see Mer de Noms as far more of an expansive and experimental album.

[@CunningCondor]

I mean in terms of instrumentation. Structurally, they do break the mold, and incorporate various elements. I just mean in terms of the sounds used. Mer De Noms isn't as ambient as the other albums but still a terrific album, there's no denying that.

[@ferrenberg]

CunningCondor oh sorry, now I understand. I'm not a musician, only a listener and wouldn't be able to disagree on stuff like that! I also do think Thirteenth Step and the new album rely way more on ambience. My favourite is still Mer de Noms, but I love all the other stuff a lot, including the new one which sounds magnificent to me.

[@CunningCondor]

Yeah I think I've noticed with APC, MDN is the rockinest, ETE is the airiest, and TS is right smack dab in the middle. I feel like each album will have it's own separate group who favors it the most. Emotive, while still good, is the spotty one, I admit but still.

[@jbasti227]

Nice video. It'd be cool to see and Understanding King Crimson, Rage Against The Machine, Anderson Paak, or even Tesseract since they also released an album on Friday

[@LieLikesMusic]

Joseph Bastidas Thanks! You've got some good picks there. I really want to get into Tesseract. What album would you recommend by them?

[@jbasti227]

Lie Likes Music I'd recommend Altered State, their 2nd album. It's their best imo and a good intro to them, especially for listeners who aren't too crazy about screaming in metal. They're absent here, but used sparsely in their other albums

[@awol.oper8r]

Definitely Altered State! They were at their best with Ashe

[@jbasti227]

(Tim Alexander, was mentioned as the original drummer which was awesome, drummers never get enough recognition to their true contributions in any bands’ sound)...could’ve mentioned J. Freese & J. Iha in the extensive focus on Thirteenth Step though. My opinion, a couple graphic choice differences aside (& not mentioning the excellent, diary of a madman/ love song mashup creative feat), this is really great & informative. The writing cadence & delivery is attention grabbing & the research, factoids & quotes are exceptional coupled with the well selected slides.

0:42 Maynard and Billy have the same mole in the same part of the face, Billy's one is more up and Maynard's mole is more down on their cheekbones. Are them separated twins?

Saw a concert this week, second time I seen Tedeski Trucks Band. Amazing concert I believe they are a massively underrated rock, blues, soul, jam band, that could use some more attention.

[@LieLikesMusic]

Any album or song by them that you would recommend?

[@tedkoppel4199]

Sure, I really like the title track from their new album Let Me Get By. Live version of that really shows off their range and style as a band.

[@johnjackson2932]

Was gonna buy tickets, but, since Trump is a baffoon

[@geoffbaumgartner5335]

John Jackson hit up a Rally and listen to his Greatest Hits..The Wall, Deport 'Em-Ban 'Em, Lock Her Up, No Collusion!, Big League, My Daughter's Hot, Fake News!, Coal, They're Laughing at Us, Believe Me, and of course, SAD! Wait, I almost forgot Little Rocket Man (feat. Elton John).

Geoff Baumgartner He doesn't play the hits "Don't Bomb Syria," "Mexico Will Pay," and "Bankers Don't Own Me" anymore. I wonder why.

[@geoffbaumgartner5335]

cloudofthought yeah, that's a tough one. I mean, he's the most truthful person you'll ever meet.

[@johnjackson2932]

Nothing personal, MJK. Still dig your stuff.✌️👀👌🇺🇸

[@politiciansthrowstones]

I remember some kids I went to school went too see these guys. I gave them some very clean acid that was in town at that time and they tried it a their show. I don't think it was the right atmosphere for that but hey it's all a journey!

[@hucklebk]

Enjoying the new album very much. thanks i enjoyed this video.

[@LieLikesMusic]

I'm glad you did :) Take care

[@whybsonosey4001]

Great information shared. Appreciate the research you do.

[@LieLikesMusic]

Thank you :) I'm glad you took the time to watch and write. It means a lot.

[@TresAlacranes]

That Tinderbox (The Sweetest Chill) sample sounds more like the song Denial Waits, from Billy’s Ashes Divide project. Cool video man, keep it up!

[@LieLikesMusic]

Interesting. It wouldn't surprise me. Thank you for taking the time to watch and write ✌ It means a lot.

[@rainbowrotcod]

I was surprised to hear that A Perfect Circle was inspired by Adam Ant, Siouxsie and the Banshees, and the Cure, as I happen to also love those artists!

[@LieLikesMusic]

I'm glad you learned something new. And yes, i was surprised too. I had never listened to any of those bands before, but i can totally hear similarities.

[@jondecarbonel8158]

Look at the age group and time period. It would make total sense.

[@nickolasthomasmirisis2270]

Great tracks......APC.... IS. STEPPING INTO A NEW. GOOD WORK

[@thomaskentwgu2874]

Another great treatment Dude! Well Done!

[@LieLikesMusic]

Thanks Thomas. Do you like Puscifer?

[@thomaskentwgu2874]

I only like some of Puscifer's music. I feel I first resonated the most with Tool, but then I felt more resonance with A Perfect Circle. But Puscifer, somehow, never really caught on with me. Lately, I am also enjoying Missio and Two Finger; ever listened to their stuff?

[@TheBizarreMind]

Love this band and this channel

[@LieLikesMusic]

Thnk you 😊It means a lot to me

[@NukaColaCaps]

You must be diggin on their awesome new album :)

[@LieLikesMusic]

Nah it's pretty decent. That's my first impression at least.

[@Iamtherealtobi213]

saw that they released an album on 4/20, now im going to hear it. thx for your videos.

[@LieLikesMusic]

Tobi -ster Wasn't it the 15th? No problem. I listened to it all the way through an hour ago for the first time. It's pretty decent. Really loved The Contrarian. This is my first impression though i might change my mind.

[@satanamogila9251]

Lie Likes Music its so bad bro

[@Iamtherealtobi213]

Lie Likes Music I listen through Spotify and it was released that day. Along with so many other albums on 4/20. I wonder why 🤣.

[@picciloson]

The album is great, you gotta listen to it while stoned lmao.

[@satanamogila9251]

picciloson i have tool for this. Listening to pop while stoned? Naah

[@mikelpradet6670]

You need more subscribers man Keep kicking ass

[@LieLikesMusic]

Thanks Keenan 😉 I sure will.

[@briancherry8088]

8:14 - I remember watching that interview when it first aired. She asked about Maynard's wig and he played offended and told her it was his real hair.

[@ПлутаркоФарше]

Nice video, simple and concise. Hopefully, new generations of kids gonna find APC, Tool and/or Puscifer like something where they can identify in thoughts and feelings.. without think they are alone. This happend to me in my adolescence... And each of this 3 bands that i'm naming has something interesting to take, musically and poetically.

[@LieLikesMusic]

Thanks for the feedback. Yes i hope so too. that's the point of this channel at the end of the day, to share good music and make other people's experiences of it more meaningful. I'll definitely check out Puscifer more since i haven't had the chance to listen to them yet. A lot of people say great things about them.

"Mer De Noms" will never not amaze me. 🔥
