Alright. Let’s get this over with. I like it.
It being Thirteenth Step. Now I’m not the best music critic ever, I just know what I like. I’m partway through my 4th listen as we speak, and it keeps getting better as I listen to every nuance of each song. I keep listening to it again, because each time, I’m sad to hear it end. I didn’t really like it completely when I finshed it the first time, but then everything started to grow on me. I’m not usually a listen once and like it right away kind of guy anyway. It took me quite a bit to understand Mer de Noms, but after that it opened up a whole new world to me. Anyway, at first listen, I kind of only liked a few songs. Most of it seemed very musically geared. You can hear the similarities to Mer de Noms, but at the same time it’s not the same album. And the songs are quality, not Mer de Noms B sides. Maynard’s lyrics seem more like Tool lyrics compared to Mer de Noms lyrics, but we’ve only had one Perfect Circle album before this, so what really are Perfect Circle lyrics? They’re good, that’s what. That’s what we expect from Maynard though. I didn’t listen to the lyrics til the 2nd pass of the album, but they’re good. And I’ll leave you with that. They’re good.
They being A Perfect Circle
What I’m listening to right now: A Perfect Circle – Thirteenth Step – The Outsider
