Title: A fine first album
Product review: Mer De Noms is an excellent first outing, but don't be misled by Judith. This was actually a poor choice for a single because, while it is a fine song in its own right, it is also quite a bit heavier than the rest of the CD, and is, in the end somewhat misleading.This is not to say that I dislike any of the songs on Mer De Noms, however. On the contrary, it's an excellent album in its own right. Maynard James Keenan's vocals are as powerful as ever, and Billy Howerdel proves, once again, his great skill as a composer.There seems to be an overwhelming penchant for comparing A Perfect Circle to Tool, simply on the basis of Maynard as vocalist. Don't be misled, this band is much closer, in terms of their sound, to Rush or Blue Oyster Cult, than to Tool.All in all, I was very pleased with this album, and recommend it highly.
