A PERFECT CIRCLE The Outsider Composer Reaction and Dissection The Decomposer Lounge
Old Composer Reacts to Prog Rock and Heavy Metal
#aperfectcircle #theoutsider #thedecomposerlounge
"The Noose" and "Weak and Powerless" on the same album might be my favorite tracks from that record. And this album is probably my favorite from APC. So good.
I’d go:
1. Weak and Powerless
2. Pet
3. Blue
4. The Outsider
5. Gravity
Definitely, and my third choice after those two would be 3 libras
Yea Blue, weak and powerless, and the noose. All are up there. But this song has always been my favorite APC track.
1. The Noose
2. The Package
3. Gravity
4. Blue
5. Vanishing
Easy top 5 imo.
Weak and Powerless is 6.
@@j.prt.979 the backing guitar in Weak and Powerless makes it my #1.
I’ve always wondered how hard it was for Billy Howerdel to not sound like Tool since he used to be Adams guitar tech up until their first show on the Ænima tour. I’d say he’s done a pretty good job.
I was just coming by to ask if anyone had mentioned yet that Billy had been part of the tool scene for a minute.
You can almost hear Billy in some of the guitar tones and effects on Aenima.
Billy was also a stage/guitar tech for a bunch of other bands too (including Guns and Roses if I recall) but yeah his guitar style and sound is his own for sure. Mer de Noms was basically only written by Billy (unlike the other APC albums) - and his "influences" for that album are mostly New Wave bands as odd as that may seem at first...
I don't think it was hard for him at all. He's not Adam and has his own style.
Billy is way more than a guitar player. He's the music mastermind in APC
GEEBZ, PLEASE REACT TO "THE PACKAGE" IT'S A MASTERPIECE!
The package is the 1st track from this album. Priceless!
I second that! It’s my personal favorite from the album
Yes please! Another absolute gem.
The package drags on too long, “Pet” is much better
Yeah great choice too! The Package, The Noose, and The Outsider
YES!!! That bass man, so so good!!! One of my favorites!!!
"Blue" never gets the credit it deserves. Thats track is simply mesmeric. Harmonies and bass in it are otherworldly. Sleeping beauty is proper unerrated too. Beautiful track.
I absolutely agree. My favorite part in specific is during the line “mistook the nods for an approval”
@@everettcascarella2150 just ignore the smoke and smiiiiiiile.
@@c0unt1ng5heep4 Precisely!
@@everettcascarella2150 fot me it's "close my eyes just to look at you" :))))
This song saves me when the darkness of depression hits.
"Orestes" still APC's best IMO. "Gravity" on this album was a shocking surprise when I first heard it....
and pair it with the fan made video of the Grand Canyon
I agree! Orestes and the Hollow are my favorites by them 💯
I remember buying this album in a school trip to Cape Cod. Went to sleep with the CD on my headphones, fell asleep and woke up to the sound of The Nurse Who Loved Me. I was a 17 year old Spaniard exchange student and everything felt friggin' surreal. It's been 18 years already, I won't ever forget that first listen to that album.
Ahhhh, the first listen! 💜
Great story! I was raised in Plymouth :)
Awesome
Did the same thing to waking up to The Stranger.
I once fell asleep listening to Roger Waters - Amused to Death blasting on the stereo really load. I woke up during the choir, chanting and drums at the end of "the Miracle". Even though it's probably 20 years ago I remember it vividly.
A perfect circle " counting bodies like sheep to the rhythm of the war drums" blew my mind
Still here mate. Weak & Powerless, The noose & Gravity are probably my favourites off this album. Depending on what lever im using the music for. Gym, work, play, sleep etc. Great reaction as always. Looking forward to hearing you do Flood by Tool some day.
Ooh.. now flood’s a gem of a song indeed. Good call. 👏🏻
The Noose. Hmmmm, brilliant.
"Little angel go away, come again some other day. The devils got my ear today". One of my favorite lyrics ever.
Gravity is amazing. I have it on a few play lists for work. Deep tissue massage ... & Gravity? HELL YES!
One of my favourite songs of all time off one of my favourite albums of all time. Josh Freese's playing on this record was instrumental in me becoming a drummer myself and he also played a big part in me playing Paiste cymbals. Everything here just sounds absolutely phenomenal and it's got just the right amount of compression to make it sound fat and punchy without completely squashing the dynamics.
I've had so many friends with so much potential that just couldn't get out of their own way... this whole album is about addiction. Every track. Such a well crafted album which is becoming a lost art. Great choice.
It's about recovery from addiction and the 12 steps too. Name is right in the title. The 13th Step is usually known as the act of someone who had been clean longer, persuading and becoming physical with a newcomer, with negative motives.
"The Package" lyrics are straight up about my last comment. They're written from the perspective of someone with clean time going to a meeting etc. and using cliches to pull a newcomer in until they're done with that person. Great song.
That thirteenth step is a doozy
This is one of the greatest albums of all time.
@@kmulcahyable The 13th Step is relapse. It’s kind of a joke you know how much Maynard loves jokes
A Perfect Circle is just... perfection. Love this album. I've listened to it many, many times. Happy Monday.
You need to see the live version of this song performed at the Red Rocks Amphitheater. It's the absolute best, it's impossible not to get wrapped into the energy of that performance. It's easy to find, check it out!
One of the all time great live performances.
I love the mtv nin apc segment early apc has some energy that’s 4sure 🙂
It was awesome, I was there in the rain...
The Outsider is, without question, one of the best tracks they’ve ever recorded. It’s a song that seeps into your soul every time you listen.
I get so much joy out of watching him truly enjoy a song. He's a spazz in the best possible way. It reminds me of my son, when he was little, trying to contain his excitement. Good times.
This is a great one! Thanks Geebz! The song “Vanishing” off this same album is a really moving musically as well. A bit different but very well put together and I never change it when it comes on.
Your reaction to that guitar flare after the line "one bullet at a time" is the best
You are, hands down, the best reactor on TH-cam! Thanks for all the joy you bring, Geebz!
I'm still here!
I grew up with a lot of this stuff and it’s always interesting to hear what people who are new to it, think about it
You nailed it! This is definitely one of
Thee best songs...still gives me goosebumps all these years later! Just the emotion from Maynard at the end🥰🥰
The end just slays.
A Perfect Circle deserves a deep dive, so many great songs. MJK only puts out greatness.
It's also my favorite one from the band. I got really deep affected from the lyrics before my toxic wedding ended up to be destroyed.
You are the best decomposer on TH-cam. Amazing video as always!
Yes sir!! I couldn't agree more!
What a brilliant track! Forgot about it, so thanks Geebz for bringing it back to my playlist!
Yay!! Love this song, this band and you! Thanks for the reaction! ✌❤
An absolute belter of a track, a good listen also is the Apocalypse remix of this song featured on their aMOTION album. Always found that that version of the track was the definitive one.
Absolutely love A Perfect Circle! I’ve been a disabled drummer for 35 years and they were the first band that really got me into music! I’m so glad you’ve finally found them, dude! I believe the first song of theirs I heard was The Noose, from the same album, Thirteenth Step. If you could do a reaction to that song, man, that’d be awesome! Take care👍🏽
This album is wild and I love every bit of it. I saw them on the first tour for the album and i was 10 feet from the stage, my ears rang gloriously and it was amazing seeing them perform together. the melodic love they give gets me every time.
the live performance of this song on jay leno show is incredible
This was about when college got interesting for me. Soundtrack of life my man
Amazed you hadn’t already done that one. Love this song.
The noose is amazing. So ambient and stripped down.
This entire album is fantastically mixed
This song reminds me of such a good time of my life. Keep up the great work !
That whole album is so well crafted.
Such a great time watching you smile and check off one favorite thing after another being like “no way this can get better.” Kudos man.
I’m suddenly very excited about hearing you react to more Perfect Circle stuff. It just seems the perfect fit of impact, technique and emotion that you’ll love.
Aloha from the UK. Love what you do, watching your experience and insight going back through songs that I've admired for years has been a blast. Seeing how you absorb fully every track is fantastic. Much love, liked and sub'd 👍
Josh Freese used a Paiste Spirit of 2002 snare drum made by Jeff Ocheltree. Incredible sounding snare.
My favorite APC tune. So glad you chose this one for a video.
Most underrated song on Mer De Noms is "Rose" it's so bizarre but amazing
More Perfect Circle!!! 😄
Great track, great band - many thanks for your reaction!
Awwwright! More APC. Awesome choice. Keep the content rolling Geebz. Love this channel. I got my Geebz shirt on today
I'm still here. Definitely one of my favorite APC songs as well!
Still here…
One of my Fav APC songs. That drive at the end always leaves me amped because of the energy .
I hear you there, hard hitting right to the end and then fades to nothing. Brilliant track and album!
I love how you got excited when they played the harmonic during the bridge part. That is part of why I watch you. Your insight and opinions are great, but I like to see your reactions. You are very much appreciated good sir!
Mer de Noms and The Thirteeth Step are probably my 2 favorite albums of all time. This was great.
Such a good reaction video 😹😹thanks for reminding me how fucking incredible this song is!
I’m still here!! 🤩 I’m learning so much about the music that I love! Keep the reacts coming!
Been in love with this song ever since i heard it first in Resident Evil
This song gives me the chills everytime i listen to it. Super emotional song.
I bought you a cup of Coffee, because I've gotten many of hours of entertainment over the past year enjoying watching you! Aloha!
I'm still here! It is definitely up there as one of my favorite APC songs. really happy to see you enjoy it
I couldnt agree more about the drum EQ being eargasmic. They sound so Clean, yet _fat_ and alive, the sound intoxicates to want more and more.
This song comes from a great album, and one other quite beautiful song worth checking out from that record is "The Noose".
A wonderful reaction, as usual! Some of your insights have really stuck with me ever since I started watching your videos at the beginning of this year, so I hope I can return the favor at some point.
This was my favorite album as a young kid, but I stopped listening to it as much as I got older while still appreciating it as a well-written piece of work.
A few months ago, I was struggling with an addiction I held for years and decided to revisit the album as an adult. From then, the love I already had deepened so much, not only because of the lyrical content but because of the atmosphere and nuanced songwriting. One of the best rock albums of the 2000s in my eyes.
My favorite perfect circle song..hands down
Went and saw this albums tour when they launched it. To this day I'd say that was the best concert experience I've been to. I've seen tool 7 times live and it's great but there was something very special about that tour
Im still here 👍
Ive always though this album was absolutely perfect from beginning to end. One of my favorites.
Congrats on the upcoming one year. Youre one of the good ones man 🤘 wish ya the best
This is totally one of their best tunes! You should check out the video when you get the chance.
Magdalena is another APC song that just goes "rock" in a similar kind of way. It's got solos and everything. There are really good live performances of this song too. That would be fun for the patreon.
Thank you THANK YOU Geebz for reviewing one of my favorite APC songs! Great job as always.
I’m still here. That was definitely one of my favorite Perfect Circle tracks. I’d suggest “The Hollow” if you haven’t done it already.
One of the best albums in the past 20 years. This is the peak of APC and sadly they will never be able to beat it. The bass on this album is phenomenal and always sounds straight in your face.
Edit: I see your opinions and I disagree. Personal taste.
Man I used to fall asleep to this album every night. A masterpiece, back to front
@@chairmanofthebored6860 same here. It was pretty creepy the first time I woke up with Maynard whispering “go back to sleep” lol
@@frightenedsoul one of my favorite morning wake up albums as well. Has a very good vibe when driving before the sun comes up.
Mer de Noms is peak APC, by a LONG shot.
I have never heard a bass sound as good as on this album 👌🏻
Actually, you can’t go wrong with the first half of Mer de Noms. Bangers all.
A perfect circle got me though highschool and tool got me though college. I love these bands
Awesome track! The first two APC albums are awesome and every track has its own musical memory ! Seen them live a few time and they always blow me away. Their latest album is totally different, not bad but the sounds has changed … which makes sense since because there is 15 years in between them. But worth the listen too
Just off the top of my head; I think "Judith" is the closest to TOOL off Mer De Noms...13th Step is phenomenal! There is also their live version of a Massive Attack remix of 3 Libras..EVERYTHING is played live. Billy said in an interview once that he basically had to stand still and used all his pedals in a frantic manner. Brilliant..
My favorite APC album of all of them! One of my favorite tracks as well!!! Thanks for this.
This whole cd is a total vibe, like a Pink Floyd album, start at the beginning and let it ride.
I'm still here. You're still here. We're all still here! :D G'day from Straya!!!
Thanks Geebz for reviewing this. If you didn't mention about the time signature, I'd never realise there was a 4/4 in the first verse. I always thought it was just 3/4 and 6/8 all the way.
Must be hard not to dive into their entire discography and hold out for these videos
Love this whole album and APC as a whole ... Not sure if you have done them yet but 3 libras , Magdalena, and weak and powerless
Thx for this reaction man love your content
The production of ‘Thirteenth Step’ is possibly one of the most magnificent executions of sonics of any hard rock or metal album ever and the songwriting, instrumentation and arrangements are just transcendental. It’s so good on multiple levels. The first three tracks are pure ear candy.
this is one of my favorite "family friendly" songs I can do at karaoke :)
damn son! I will admit I need to get more involved with this solo project of his! I knew 1 or 3 songs but now I need more! aaawright!
Still here of course, love your vids, I think something like fiddle and the drum (a perfect circle) will blow you away, it's just Maynard harmonising with himself by dubbing his voice, it's huge!
This and Gravity from the same album are my two favorite by APC.
You are so sharp.. really enjoy your reactions.
😊 thank you
Well, for the "last 30 days" programming, I'll just repeat my recommendation from a week ago: "The Noose" and "Weak and Powerless" on the same album might be my favorite tracks from this record. 😁
Am still here and loving it... Sure the Outsider is a top song music and lyrics Master piece from APC awwwrigth ! 🤘🏼
Such a great breakdown from one of my favorite bands! I really hope you'll be able to check out "The Noose" as well, the song has such a powerful message, but I really think you'd like the production/engineering of it.
It's rumored the lyrics of this song were inspired by a conversation Maynard had with Layne Staley's brother after Layne's death from od.
My dad has worked most of his life with sound and audio. Either as self employed sound technician for live performances or as a technical director at a TV station. When I played this album for him he was awestruck at the mix and how perfect it is. I remember him saying "If I ever manage to get a kickdrum to sound like that, I'll die happy". He's retired today, and even though he didn't achieve that kickdrum sound, I hope he doesn't cling onto that too much :)
8:25 HES SO HAPPY AAAAAAAA :DDD
Thirteenth Step and Mer De Nom are 2 of my all time favourite albums, so emotional and hard hitting, they never let you down when listening to them
Every time I hear this song, it takes me back to Resident Evil.
For a standout APC song, check out “So long and thanks for all the fish”
Cmon man, you know I’m always gonna be here. #stillhere
I love those natty harms at the end of this song.
This is such an amazing album to listen to from start to finish
That whole album was amazing. This is a fantastic music video as well for those who have not watched it!
“The Noose”, “Weak and Powerless” and their cover of “Imagine” are definitely some of my favorites by A Perfect Circle!
I’m still here!!!
This whole album is an emotional masterpiece but it takes me back to a very dark time in my life that I’d often rather forget. I haven’t heard ALL of their songs but this is Maynard really flexing his range. Try “the package” next, my personal favorite APC song.
THE PACKAGE - A PERFECT CIRCLE
Aloha! It has been a while since I've visited the lounge, but I'm still here! (: I love APC, especially this song. I'd love to see you cover something off of Eat the Elephant (anything but "So Long & Thank You")
I also want to request TAUK, who just released a new album at the end of September* you can't go wrong with almost anything in their catalog, but maybe start somewhere on their first 3 albums
I'm still here!
Love APC, I was lucky enough to see them open for NIN's Fragility tour back in 2000, which is still one of my all-time favorite concerts. You should definitely check out "Weak and Powerless" off of the same album as "The Outsider." Some of the note choices and harmonies that Maynard makes are super interesting and unexpected!
Just subscribed. Great reaction!
