Yeah mine's pretty good too don't ya know...hehe ;)

hokuto29 only a slight exaggeration

Yessss

hokuto29 Thanks for not being like that idiot PM of Canada Justin Trudeau and using the non-existent word “peoplekind”.

I imagine us all pushing the "Political Elephants" amongst us the fuck out of our way.

I blast this song at them Sunday drivers

Wings for Marie!

Everytime I hear Maynard scream I get tears because it's the best damn vocals ever

I make you correct sir!

Rocked same thing for tool

Rocked just imagine tool then man. ✌

Damn has it really been that long? Time flies.

I'm really looking forward to this album. Now all we need is that new Tool, at least a new song

We never fucking learn 😔

Maynard is very pro gun lol

This song in my mind is pretty representative of all our politicians here in America. All they do is TALK TALK!

Everyday money... everyday

He took out the defibrillator for an extra kick

QTee I have, over and over

I remember the first time I heard Orestes was maybe 2006. I was like... what the fuck have I been doing with my life. Actually... gonna listen to it now.

I have thought this each time I find out they've released a new song. I went from thinking they were done making music 5 years ago to hoping they keep putting out new stuff until I die.

Rob Pi...so much yes.

Brandon Jeffers and his voice!

Seriously Maynard could lull me to sleep singing the damn phone book. The man can do no wrong vocally... Simply a master of his craft as well as everyone else.

like vinegar. I love APC, but everything I've heard so far has been pretentious and pandering. The music is good, but it's lacking substance, lyrically

+the DICKENS you must be one of the people that the songs have been about. sheep

Awesome lyrics

One of the deepest truths, tongue in cheek stabs, with beautiful song writing.

Christian missionaries have saved at least one hundred million lives in Africa and Asian in the last 100 years. Probably far more than that. The earliest efforts to fight malaria and polio came from missionaries. And in their view, it is the people scolding them who kill that many lives each and every year through the multi-billion dollar abortion industry.

@@Valchrist1313 Christians have killed hundreds of millions in the name of their God in the last 100 years. How many deaths have been caused by religion? Here's a list of religiously motivated wars and genocides and their death tolls. Let me know if I missed any! The Crusades: 6,000,000 Thirty Years War: 11,500,000 French Wars of Religion: 4,000,000 Second Sudanese Civil War: 2,000,000 Lebanese Civil War: 250,000 Muslim Conquests of India: 80,000,000 Congolese Genocide (King Leopold II): 13,000,000 Armenian Genocide: 1,500,000 Rwandan Genocide: 800,000 Eighty Years' War: 1,000,000 Nigerian Civil War: 1,000,000 Great Peasants' Revolt: 250,000 First Sudanese Civil War: 1,000,000 Jewish Diaspora (Not Including the Holocaust): 1,000,000 The Holocaust (Jewish and Homosexual Deaths): 6,500,000 Islamic Terrorism Since 2000: 150,000 Iraq War: 500,000 US Western Expansion (Justified by "Manifest Destiny"):20,000,000 Atlantic Slave Trade (Justified by Christianity): 14,000,000 Aztec Human Sacrifice: 80,000 AIDS deaths in Africa largely due to opposition to condoms: 30,000,000 Spanish Inquisition: 5,000 Est. TOTAL: 195,035,000 deaths in the name of religion. Yeah, Christianity is AWESOME!!

porçay napıyon burada la senin müzik zevkin bu kadar gelişmiş mi

Unless you are a true Christian, then this song is a recognition of the failure of the Christian Church. A beautiful tragedy.

Hell yes it is🙌🙏

erkan kim ?

sa

try braving the rain, try lifting the stone, try extending a hand. Dont be the problem be the solution

Well said, I think this is the core of what Jesus walked the earth for, and still lives after 2000+ years. He also knew people would twist what he had to say, for their own gains, he would also understand this.

He even makes wine too hahaha

Great point. He rarely uses profanities in his music, but when he does its almost always used directly to send a powerful message.

He's speaking about those that continue to be Disillusioned. Stop talking about it and lead the masses from this divided and conquered world. #WakeUp

i've never shed tears over the word 'fuck' before, til this song, i try to walk like jesus, she asked for money, I only had my foodstamp card on me, apparently she wasn't hungry becuz she looked at me like "Get the F outta my Waaaayyy...

TheEquinoxeHD yup

It's just as common as ever, you're just looking in the wrong places.

@@Wazzen563 I accept your bitterness

@@Alacard0malley it really is just as common, but the people who say nothing become more popular. It's rare to see someone saying something *get popular.* There are those people though, for example, Lil Darkie talks constantly about the corrupt system of politics, military, and brainwashing of America. And he's getting increasingly more popular, even if people are trying to cancel him.

@@Wazzen563 It is

GODBLESS UKRAINE BROTHER.THIS SONG KICKS ASS,JUST LIKE UKRAINE✌✌✌

That bit doesn't do it for me. The "Try braving the rain" bit on the other hand...

Thholyghst Every time brother

got goose bumps 1 minute into the song all over my body....

Every time i listen

I mean... yes.. but they have also used a lot of effects on it.

Amy Spann me too

Yeah this one and the new Lunatic Soul song has got me by the balls.

It's almost 5am and I'm still listening to the new APC album on here....again! And i have work soon!!!

Ironically, the song is about addiction. lol

That was a fine line to hypocracy

Ideologically...you cant have a solution with out a problem...... So to say be the "solution not the problem"...is a contradiction

~ME TO ....Maynard voice kills me...completely

The ring with the most depth challenging each of us to be about it. Quit talking look where talking had gotten us. I swear this is actually telling us to live of the faith of messiah Christ of god.

Oso Actual which time of the scream? Ha ha

Yep...

He is saying walk your talk or it doesnt mean shit and if you don't get the fuck outta his way.

ogrebattlefan need more positive insight

This song doesn't come across very Anti-Christian, but in the context of the rest of the album, you can see the truth of MJK's feelings. The Doomed is extremely Anti-Christian, so maybe you shouldn't get too excites.

Sutt9505 he's not anti Christian. He's anti anything that causes hate and division, as well as discourages asking questions. And sadly, religion does all 3

g jeez..

chocolatewheelchair i still can not stop.

I feel u lmao been on repeat since I found out it came out today in class

Judith style

If it interests you, lateralus and 10k days from tool are heavily inspired from jungian psychology, which is built off of religious and mythological archetypes. It's like an academic acid trip.

wtf go read

that quote is at 2:14 in the song. in the book of james, its read at chapter 2, verse 14 (2:14) neat huh?

It's all Paul

Jesse Waryck Exactly the way I wish I could put it. If you don't mind I might *quote* what you said to express my feeling on this matter! Cheers!

Bingo!

Thank you.

All four of you have no idea what this song is about.

Oppressive Fist of Tyranny Ew. You’re one of those.

Ken I does live.

I wouldn't mind seeing A Perfect Circle live, but I really want to see Tool again. The last time was during the Aenima tour and the Melvins opened up for them. One of my most memorable shows for me due to many reasons surrounding it.

'98. Seen them in Dallas that tour. Dude came out and played Third Eye with them. Watched from basically the front row. Damned amazing.

Right on, man! I think it was 97' for me in San Diego. Nearly 20 years now and Keenan sounds even better now. He must be immortal. Must be his Caduceus wine.

Erick Hetfield Only with Tool.

Richard McLean try Pusicfer

Seriously, you want a steady stream of new MJK songs? Give Puscifer a try. He's always got something new coming out. It's so much fun.

I don’t mind Puscifer but a lot of their songs seem to be taking too much after Nine Inch Nails’ industrial rock methods. it’s not bad, but I prefer this

Richard McLean Hope you’re ready for the new Tool album soon

Don't confuse yourself. You are in fact waiting for new Tool

To true this is great!!

This is up there with mer de noms

we grow with them. the haters can't accept that musicians change over time. Maynard is human too

Maynard isn't all of APC. I dig everything Maynard does, but credit goes to the musicians in this band as well. This is all of them.

I'm skeptical that it'll live up to The 13th Step, that album was a masterpiece. But I'm certain it'll be amazing regardless and I'll reserve my judgement until I've listened to it a few hundred times. There's definitely nothing wrong with them going in a new direction, it would be boring if they didn't.

That's the point. It's calling out fake Christians for not practicing what they preach.

Thanks chillin i felt like i was off but i knew this was about people who claim their Christian but act uncivilized and are only in it for then selves.

I'm a practicing christian. The first time i read the lyrics I absolutely LOVED this song!

Something something Christians are so unlike Christ something something.

No doubt and most ppl don't even care enough to even know enough to know this

He needs to tone down on the cigarettes

Whyyy did I accidentally read this comment? 🙀

For me! already the best album of the year, and only with 3 tracks... Maynard is very inspired...

This is why I've always appreciated APC. It's always felt like the most vulnerable and sincere projects led by Maynard

Jeffrey Tan he said on the JRE that people want more Tool material, but he (and the rest of the band) just don't feel the same anger and angst that filled the band before. They "grew up" (not to imply that Tool is childish by any means, but being angry is tiring, and as we grow older, we realize that this anger is draining, without solving the problems.) You can still hear him shouting, and writing seemingly angry lyrics in Puscifer and APC, but they feel different, more desperate, like he knows there's no point

Def!!!

Vasari O the doomed wont be on the album.... And i dont think disillusioned will either.... Not sure on that one though

DJKBELL exactly

DJKBELL Except it doesn't have that break down in either of them, which is okay but I want one decently heavy song from this album if anyy

Madi Schwem I like this over the doomed but i think Disillusioned is still my favorite

Sabrina Alencar A Perfect Notification

Sabrina Alencar yes

What about my DMs babe!

a collins lmfao

Underrated comment.

thats not the point lol

Learn to swim!!!!

a collins LOL!!!

kristina hansen this changes everything?

Now you feel worse

James Galloway I simply meant that it made me happy to be able to buy their new album :)

chocolatewheelchair nope!

Christian Tool fans exist and do appreciate Maynard's maturity from the Opiate to Judith to 10,000. At least me.

In Galatians 5: 22-23 it says the “fruits of the spirit” are “love, joy, peace, forbearance, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control.” The message here is that those who truly follow Jesus would exemplify these traits. Now ask yourself how many so-called Christians actually exhibit those traits.

Rapture soon. ⚡⚡

His voice is fried according to him. Screaming is a bit of a luxury now. Joe Loera is correct.

True but he said doing either screaming or hitting high notes is ok but to do both is much harder now.

I saw them last week, and there was screaming the last song

Of this era, I'll give you that. That title goes to Freddie Mercury though. I'm fairly certain Maynard would agree...

Just Sean good call

How can you not be enthusiastic about an APC album after so many years? That's insane. And yea, the bass does sound cleaner than in other similar music, but it also sounds boring af to play. One of the reasons I won't be learning the lower tunings on a bass is simply because nobody knows what a bassist is supposed to do, and everyone makes boring bass lines instead. And it's just especially true with lower tunings sadly.

Bass lines shouldn't be interesting. They are there to support the music as a whole. One boring note can completely change the whole feel of the song.

I agree that the rhythm section is the foundation upon which everything rests. That doesn't mean it is at all uninteresting or boring. The technique here is flawless. The recording mix and master is perfect. The only part I really find boring is the guitars, but I've never really thought Billy was a really great guitar player, just a really good songwriter.

I dunno, man. After all the covers and whatnot I just lost interest. As far as tuning a bass down... I mean... why bother? Fill the voids left between guitars and vocals, and stay locked with your drummer. You don't need to go lower than everything to have an impact, you just have to fill the void in a creative way that is unique to you.

Best comment of all time
