Title: New Album A Real Let Down
Product review: After their first two albums, I didn't expect the lack of musical talent and intensely transparent lyrics that this album delivers. I am a huge Tool and A Perfect Circle fan, but this album doesn't contain the complex guitar parts that I've grown to expect or ambiguously decipherable lyrics. No, the album contains a lot of drumming and bass with some other various instruments. True, Tool and A Perfect Circle have made songs that contained little guitar over the years, but this album really takes the cake. Now, as to the lyrics, Keenan's lyrics on this album are written in a much more simple meter and they contain something that I've never seen before in any song written by Tool or A Perfect Circle: transparently political messages. I respected Keenan's lyrics for their ambiguity and numerous possible interpretations, but this album has such a blatant message that it is impossible to escape it. This band has great potential, but this album falls short.
