Sweet,
I like thriteenth step better than Mer De Norms,
Blue or The Noose or Outsider are my favorites...
or.....
Emotive was strange,
For a covers album it was good, there were some flops, but overall ok. I like Fiddle and Drum becuase i thought it shows his talent, his range, he can do the screaming emotional Tool stuff, but then calm down and make some nice harmonies too. But as a maynard APC/Tool standards album, dissapointing indeed. We just expect a level of Greatness out of everything he touches, and when he falls short, like in emotive, we are disappointed.
(anyone buy Amotive? its really worth the 20 bucks....)
Definitely get Mer De Noms. Thirteenth Step is better, but it's totally different. And don't listen to these fools, 3 Libras is nowhere near the best song on there
And yeah I have Amotive, it's not bad, but I kinda expected more.
It's Amotion, guys I nearly got it because I didn't notice it was Amotion and not Emotive, so I was like "Why the hell is this CD $20?" Then I looked at the back and was like "Ohh..."
Well, 3 Libras is my favorite, though Rose is another of my favorites.
I just bought Mer de Noms - ive been meaning to buy it for years. I forgot how incredibly awesome it is. The best song on there IMO is the hollow. Its definately worth buying.
I like eMOTIVe, it has a couple great tracks, and at least one or two really crappy ones. aMOTION (the DVD ) is worth getting though. It has commentary from both Billy and Maynard on (almost) all the videos. It also comes with a remix CD that's kind of interesting... The best track on it is "The Hollow" with just a piano and Paz doing the vocals.
Amotion, thats what I meant. The cover is beautiful
Haven't actually watched it yet though.
Rose Rose Rose! That's my favoritist by far. It's like one of those old super long progressive/psychadelic rock songs, with folky guitars, solos, strings, echoey sound effects and vocal driven sections except it's all packed perfectly into 3 minutes. It's splendid Thomas is my second fave.
Emotive, I like Lets Have A War, Freedom Of Choice, Annihilation, Imagine.
I love Peace Love & Understanding, Gimme Gimme Gimme, Passive.
People Are People is ok. The other 4 are horrible.
I almost bought Emotive today while getting my brother a birthday gift I LOVE Passive...everytime it comes on the radio I blast it and I smacked my brother for trying to change the station one day.
Shame that APC have disbanded for a while. Actually, I take that back. I'm glad.
They were all getting lazy and bored for various reasons, no one knew who was permanently in the band and everyone had other important stuff to be doing.
"eMOTIVe" wasn't half bad. It was way below APC's ability but then again if any other band put out that exact same album it would sound alot shitter IMO.
"eMOTIVe" is a let-down really. There's some good tracks but besides that, all I ever play it for now are "Passive" and "Imagine".
I supported APC by buying it but it's the only CD by a band I truly love that I'd download rather than buy if I knew the quality of it. I'll send it to you if you want.
I already have about half of it on my comp I'll probably wait a few weeks more to get it, it's nearly my birthday so I'll just take some of my birthday money to buy it with.
That's mostly why I haven't gotten it yet, and because I plan on using birthday money instead of my money I get from work...I'm NOT paying $18 for a CD, thank you very much.
