Mer de Noms Explicit Lyrics

Great band and album! The vinyl sounds awesome too!

Loved the album, and anyone that is looking at this probably knowes this already so i am going to review the audio quality of the pressing not the music on the album. To that point the pressing quality is very good, my Technics turntable and DL-110 track very well on it and the detail is amazing!!! I have this album in los-less FLAC as well, and I have listened to each format back to back. I have to say the vinyl beats out the CD quality hands down. Granted I am not using a Crosley Cruiser, but still you will hear things on this album on vinyl that are just missing on CD!... don't even get me started on MP3's lets just leave those to the tween with and ipod and ear buds at the mall :). This type of music is meant to be enveloped in not just listened to. Just be careful with how you store it, modern 180 gram vinyl is REALLY easy to warp. I had this album stored in its sleeve but not closely packed with other albums (like it should) and both of the records now have an ever so slight warp to them that wasn't there when i first opened the package. I had this happen to 3 other new 180 gram new albums.

I know this is an old album but every time I listen to it, I think I need to go on here and review it because I've read some negativity about it. Ignore it. This album may at first seem boring with a couple listens but if you keep playing it you will find yourself not wanting to skip any of the songs and many of them start becoming very touching. In fact, I start to get lost in them. Especially those as beautiful as Orestes and 3 Libras. At first listen, yes, I will say Judith's lyrics made my stomach tighten a little. Only because I believe in the God he is referring to here. However, I must also take into consideration the fact that he was probably talking about his mother. A super religious woman who "served" God and became paralyzed, only to go on and praise God for her awful condition until death. From his standpoint, I can understand his lyrics "He did it all for you" meaning this is how He rewarded you for your efforts. I'm sure there's a ton of pain and disbelief behind someone who could serve a God like that. It's like that awful book in the Bible that I cannot bring myself to read. Job.... yikes. So in that way, I empathize with Maynard. I know in my hurt and anger I'd scream the same things. With all that to say, the song is absolutely mind blowing itself! It is an instant favorite with the first listen, regardless of the lyrics. If you're not sure about this album at first, give it as many listens as it takes for you to fall in love with it. It is truly a gem. And this is coming from a hardcore Tool fan!

I’ve seen a lot of bad reviews on this album. This sounds amazing! Your not gonna get a great sound while using a suitcase record player. And the most important thing is to CLEAN it first before playing it.. believe it or not these brand new albums are still dirty. I highly recommend buying this.. and there are no live versions of any song on this record.. PS.. I would recommend getting getting the spin clean 100% works

One of my favorite Perfect circle discs ! I got into The Band Tool and this is what evolved from that excellent band. Every tune is beautifully executed and Maynard's voice is haunting! I think if you give it a listen you may find a song or to that will stick in your head, like it did in mine!

A Perfect Circle began as a side project for Tool's frontman Maynard James Keenan and guitarist Billy Howerdale who had formerly been Tool's guitar tech. With Keenan at the helm comparisons to Tool are going to be obvious, but to my ears this material is kind of like Tool-lite. The progressive rock side of Tool with its longer tracks and more intricate arrangements are not as apparent with A Perfect Circle. Most of the songs here are shorter and generally more concise. This is not necessarily a bad thing, but it all comes off as a bit more straightforward than what I am used to with Tool. Howerdale does the songwriting here and does a fine job at that. Musician wise this band is top notch with drummer Josh Freese especially standing out. With all this musical muscle I kind of wish the band might flesh out a few of these songs with some longer instrumental interludes, but this is really a minor criticism. Overall this is a solid modern rock album. I don't think it is on the same level as most of Tool's catalogue, but then again this is a completely different band.

As some have stated elsewhere. The printed artwork on the repress is poorly done. It looks like a bootleg, but isn’t. The albums themselves have nice artwork labels, so it’s just a little weird. But, it’s definitely not a bootleg. The actual pressing sounds top notch & there’s no complaints to be made on the sound quality end. Overall the artwork is what it is and doesn’t bother me too much considering this is such a hard record to obtain and I got it for the very fair price of about $40. If you’re looking to spend quite a bit on a copy I would contact the seller prior to purchase and ask what pressing you’re getting. Because, had I paid $100 plus the artwork would actually bother me lol

Excelente producto y envío muy rápido.

曲調はとても好きな激しいサウンド系です。 購入する順番を間違ったのですが、非常に気に入っています。(;^_^A

Superb album. I will certainly use the seller again.

L'album di debutto degli A Perfect Circle, uscito nel 2000, rappresenta un'opera potente e intima, frutto della collaborazione tra il cantante Maynard James Keenan (notoriamente noto per il suo lavoro con i Tool) e il chitarrista Billy Howerdel. Con un sound che oscilla tra il rock alternativo, il metal e il prog, l'album si distingue per la sua profondità emotiva e la complessità musicale. Must have.

This album is a masterpiece thay has aged quite well. The audio quality and the packaging are top notch.

Version 180gr Qui n'est pas stipulé dans la description dommage car c'est encore plus vendeur La qualité du disque est inimaginable J'adore
