I going
to allow the license to get out of the ordinary and make a record here that many of those categorized as hard or simply metal. I am not a big fan of the bands related to the harsher side of rock (or maybe if truth be told, but only a few) but A Perfect Circle is that I like, especially for having in their ranks with the most graceful voice gender, Maynard James Keenan, head visible at the same time the impressive Tool, which is also my cup of tea. You could say that this band from Los Angeles (California) is a quirky side project of vocalist Ravenna (Ohio) halfway with guitarist Billy Howerdel, a regular contributor to bands like Fishbone, The Smashing Pumpkins, Nine Inch Nails and Tool themselves , which give free rein to the melodies and compositions more direct and accessible unlike what they do with their mother band. I love the image of this singer, musician, composer, producer, actor, comedian and even winemaker (owns several vineyards in the state of Arizona), not just by his presence on stage is really surprising, but for his inexhaustible ingenuity, putting it in every facet that made, and this is where most wasting his talent shines a kind of alternative rock sharp guitars who drink Black Sabbath, but with a distinctive sound that can not be compared with almost any other formation. 'Thirteenth Step' was their second step, three years after the amazing energy of their debut "Mer de Noms' and a year before he published his last album 'Emotive', consisting of rare versions of groups and artists as diverse as John Lennon, Led Zeppelin, Joni Mitchell, Marvin Gaye, Devo, Depeche Mode and Nick Lowe, who saw the light makes a whopping seven years. Even with all the band is still active, but in the background as members of the group are focused on their major projects. The change from its coming-out is visible to the second to hear "The package", a piece designed for Keenan's vocal brilliance and rhythmic skill set that shows the way forward early in the global computing, showing that going to be a more elaborate work with slower songs, long and complex, where fragments are introduced very well structured experimental are quite close to what we hear in the work record of Tool, the thing continues to grow with "Weak and Powerless", my favorite of the lot with a flash of light and hope for the re-conquer Keenan vocal timbre, while the instrumentation draws a flattering gloss lucid overwhelmed by percussion, a piece that invites to cry out to heaven from the top, "The noose", softening the message and soothing temperament to expose his eclectic side and close, "Blue" stylistic achievement in which all sounds neat and accurate, decanting the balance was the dark ages of the Germans Wolfsheim elegant but with the speed point and power applied to it Paradise Lost 'One second', "A stranger" nobility intimate acoustic quirk that added a beautiful orchestration, giving rise to the dazzling entrance of "Outsider", the first single from that album and what is arguably its most iconic item, in addition to a really awesome version of video clip, which is a group of attractive women wearing baseball bats spreading wrong until their bones are in jail, "The nurse Who Loved Me ", very close to pop, a beautiful composition of pulse rested somewhat reminiscent to" Parabol, "one of the tracks on" Lateralus "(one of the most popular Tool) and "Gravity", farewell and close to more do with a mysterious atmosphere fraught with tension. Huge. A Perfect Circle was formed then by Maynard James Keenan (which also include his latest project, Puscifer), Billy Howerdel (also leader of Ashes Divide), Josh Freese (The Vandals original battery, and occasionally people like Devo, Paul Westerberg, Chris Cornell, Hayden, Suicidal Tendencies, Wayne Kramer, Weezer, Nine Inch Nails and many, many more), Jeordie "Twiggy Ramierz 'White (ex-bassist for Marilyn Manson), Troy Van Leeuwen (Queens Of The member Stone Age), Paz Lenchantin (who soon after left the band to enlist in the ranks Zwan with his then girlfriend Billy Corgan, The Smashing Pumpkins voice), and we also have the invaluable help of Danny Lohner (ex-Nine Inch Nails, Killing Joke and Methods Of Mayhem), Jarboe (Swans female voice) Devo H. Keenan (son of James Maynard, which provided a slight chorus at the tender age of eight years) Jon Brien (one of the first members of The Bats), K. Patrick Warren and The Section Quartet. A curious fact is that the influence of Maynard James Keenan can be seen in bands from around the world and here's an example with Madrid Sober, whose name is taken from an old issue of Tool and whose singer has a tone similar to when singing.
