APC's thirteenth step rox

[Sonicarnal Artist]

As for you, Sonicarnal Artist, I just don't like you. Plus, everybody knows that anyone who has any kind of admiration for the band Anal Gore Terror is a blatant moron.

The feeling is very mutual.

And I should have a strong admiration for Anal Gore Terror, considering that I'm the founding member... and we're in the process of securing a record deal.

Luminous is so funny and cool.. I hope I can be as witty and smart as him one day.

If you dont like something THAT BAD , why come in a thread labeled this ? ah I guess you have to share your amazing talent of putting everyone elses 'wrong' opinions down.


anyway Thirteenth step is great.

Good job, you still suck.

Failure... unoriginal? Ok, name a band that sounds like them. I'll beat you to the punch and name the only one that I know who was around at the same time (noone sounded like either of these bands before they came around, they were very original and influential bands), and that band is another fantastic band named Hum. Failure are one of the main influences for what is easily the best rock band today, Cave In. Failure also could be compared very tangentially to Nirvana in their first two albums, but only because they shared the same producer so they had similar sounds at times. Ken Andrews is a far better lyricist, vocalist, and guitar player than anything Nirvana ever had either. Failure's final album, Fantastic Planet (a very apt name, as it is fucking fantastic beyond belief, I have considered it to be one of the three best rock albums of all time since it came out) was produced by Ken Andrews, so it has absolutely impeccable production. After that album came out, Failure disbanded and Ken Andrews became a music producer. He released a solo album a few years ago called On that wasn't that good, but he has since redeemed himself with a band that is making huge waves already, Year of the Rabbit, who have continued the Failure sound with great results. They just toured with Thursday, in what I can only assume was one hell of a show considering how awesome both bands are. These lame puns on Failure's name cannot work with Year of the Rabbit, which is a euphemism for success. No, DiscipleOfPlato has absolutely no idea of what he is talking about, most likely due to a crippling lack of intellect. There is no way that you can say Failure were unoriginal, simply because there is noone that came before them who sounded like them. Sure, they had influences. EVERY band has influences. But Failure created a sound that is easily discernable, and if you hear a Ken Andrews song you can instantly tell it is him. Just listen to Cave In's latest, there are huge Failure influences on that fantastic album, but Cave In continued the tradition of Failure with influences yet their own distinctive sound. Similarly, if I hear a Stephen Brodsky (of Cave In) song, I know it is him immediately. No, A Perfect Circle only receive acclaim due to the current trendwhores who slobber all over Maynard, for no apparent reason as he obviously has no real ideas.

Uh...no.

And I could give two shits and a fuck about Maynard OR Tool.

A Perfect Circle kick ass. On their own.

 

[APCFiend]

I love the new CD and cannot wait to see them again this month (I seen them twice in August so far this year.)

If you are interested in seeing them on tour, you can find the dates on my little page at http://perfecttool.tripod.com

 

[TekChef]

the first APC cd was better...but this one is not half bad.

I think it's like tool..either something you don't like or do.

 

[Flood]

I like the first APC album better than this one, but both are pretty damn good. I still think Tool > APC. Better lyrics and more epic-sounding.

"The Nurse who Loved Me" is a horrible song, though. I listened to the original, and it sucked also. Uh-oh I may just have instigated Luminous to come and flame me with a thousand word essay with bands I neither know or care about. You're pretty infamous around here, no need to restate what many others think about you.

I realize this response is somewhat late, but I've been occupied with more important things. Nevertheless, allow me to prove your inane drivel wrong. Failure sounds like every other bullshit "spacy" cock-rock band I've ever had the displeasure of listening to. Boring simplistic riffs, bizarre sound-effects in an effort to sound unique(even though the use of synth-noises is the most commonly-used tool in the history of rock music), and a vocalist that sounds like Kurt Cobain on depressants. They are like Nirvana and the Foo Fighters on barbituates attempting to sound like the new Pink Floyd and failing(no pun intended) because they prefer to focus on pleasing the minority of music-listeners like yourself whom are too ignorant to realize that it isn't music, but whiny, emo-ish bullshit that can only be appreciated after having your proper sense of judgment blurred by heroine. Oh, and before you criticize me for judging you too quickly in assuming that you're a drug-user, allow me to make another judgment. There are only two possibilities. Either you are in fact a heroine or cocaine addict and always post on this forum while under the influence of these drugs, or you are just a dumbass, plain and simple. I'll leave you with the choice, since you are obviously so assured of your own independence and brilliance just as obviously as you are mislead, and you can answer this with an extremely wordy, pseudo-intellectual response in which you'll speak of your opinion as gospel.

Anyway, to sum it up nicely, Ken Andrews is a shithead failure(pun intended), you are a moron, and I am God. Learn anything? Good.
