Title: A Perfect Circle; Slightly Askew
Product review: Let me first say I love A Perfect Circle. I've loved the other two outings and am not totally bashing this one. I think this record is extremely over-produced, so many samples and artificial instruments are used and it ruins their vibe. I think the cover of Lennons "Imagine" is ambitious, but falls short. I just think that this is such a timeless and sacred song that it shouldn't be tampered with. I think "Passive" and "Gimmie Gimmie Gimmie" are good songs. Maynard just tried to hard to write political and the lyrics came out kind of cheesy. All in all this is not a bad album. I give them an A for effort. It's a very amibitious attempt and I always respect bands for trying new things....but I want the old APC back. I wouldn't suggest buying this album, but certainly burn it from a friend and see if you like it.
Would you say this review depicts the product in a flattering or unflattering light?
