IMO is the one of the best albums of all time. Whole album is fantastic. My favorite song is probably "Gravity"
W opinion, this a stranger, the noose and blue are my favs.
Gravity is one of the most powerful single tracks I've ever heard!
Gravity hits me Every. Single. Time.
I agree
I love Josh's work on Gravity. He's always beyond awesome (as this one, The Outsider, unquestionably proves), but his choices on that song are just incredible.
The entire Thirteenth Step album is amazing. Damn near TOOL level perfect.
If it were a tape it would be worn out lol. That's how many times I've played it.
Another one that benefits from a beginning to end listening order.
Agree 100%
considering the whole albums bout the 12 step program its a heavy one
Lol they just as good as Tool. Ppl get so obsessed with Tool ...and I get it. I LOVE Tool. But this constant comparing of 3 different styles of his bands is ludicrous.
You will not go wrong with doing all songs from Perfect Circle, they are just as iconic as Tool
The Package is A Perfect Circle’s best song. My next favorite is Pet.
correct
What I've taken from this song is> Individuals ignorance to suicide and people who have opened up about struggling with those thoughts. To then be judged for that struggle.
I had a different take on it. Yes, there's the suicidal element but for me it was about not being drawn in and devoured by people who are committed to chaos and their own self destruction. There are just some people who are not satisfied with you throwing them a life vest. They don't want "help".....what they actually want is for you to get out of the life boat and drown with them.......
Pet by a perfect circle is by far one of my favorites.... Maynard has another band called pucsifer, conditions of my parole and the remedy are really good
The Package is another great song from APC.
Spiral out, keep going!🔥🤘🏻🔥
U gotta hear some puscifer. Conditions of my parole a good start spot. On this album blue and a nurse who loved me are my favourites
I thought he'd really like the Remedy by Puscifer, but Conditions is good too.
My son just got a vinyl of this album and it’s amazing. My favorite APC song is Blue.
one of my favorite albums ever
I'm so stoked on the songs you are reacting to!! You are the shit my friend!!!
Yeah he's singing in triplets when you mention that cadence. Love it! Check out some Incubus! Anything from the S.C.I.E.N.C.E. album
There's a live version of this that I recently found. Unbelievable performance. Maynard is other worldly and his scream is so raw yet perfect. You probably don't want to react to the same song again but I thought you should check it out. 💜
Listen to The Doomed by A Perfect Circle
I truly believe you would enjoy The Package by A Perfect Circle
In the 12 STEP RECOVERY community, those of US who are in the TOOL/ PERFECT CIRCLE
army feel that this song & a few others is about ADDICTION
I'm excited about the future as I know you will continue down this journey of A Perfect Circle/Tool/Puscifer and I'll get to enjoy all of it with you!
Josh Freeze another great drummer. Maynard knows the best musicians.
Try “counting bodies like sheep” by these guys.
I’m glad you like Perfect Circle. And as for Flood, no worries man…no need to like everything Tool does. Cheers!
This song was directed at Layne Staley who was good friends with Maynard back in the day according to some .
That's what I thought too? I thought it was about when MJK tried talking to Laynes sibling who had no compassion since it was something they hadn't experienced since they weren't an addict. Some are saying it's about totally different things. Music can be interpreted anyway you like I guess. 🤷♀️
Josh Freise is an absolute monster drumming on this album. Reminds of some of Mitch Mitchell's work with Hendrix.
I love APC, I have 2 favorite rock bands and they are TOOL and APC.
Please please please give "Thinking of You" and "Passive" a listen from these guys. I think you, in particular, will enjoy those two.
Love it!
You need to check out Pucifer, Maynard's other side project. Start with a fun video, Conditions of my parole LOL!
Song is about Layne Staley singer from AIC. The fault line is the track marks. One bullet at a time refers to shooting up. If you like down songs I highly recommend you listen to Alice in Chains SAP album, in particular the song "AM I inside" Hauntingly beautiful.
Theres a live video of this song from lollapalooza Brazil, brilliant vocals and music
This was released before TH-cam was around.
Anything with Maynard is musical gold.
That "over thiiiiisss!!!" scream gives me goose chills every time.
What is that in the background, those sticks dancing to the music. I want one.... 😂😂
One of my favourite albums! ...though I can't listen to it too much or I start getting introspective and in a weird mood.
Was going to suggest this as a reaction after you Tool reactions
the live version on Jay Leno is excellent.
I guess the next step in the Maynard triad is Puscifer, his personal side project that started as a way to market the wine he is making!
Maynard actually talked about this song on a dvd that had commentary. None of the music directors understood the meaning of the song, so they made more of a joke video that had nothing to do with the song. Pretty much the song is from perspective of some loved one who doesn't understand their addiction. Thus they are the outsider.
Everything Maynard touches is gold. Now trust me and check out the song Passenger by The Deftones featuring Maynard James Keenan.
Another great reaction, Polo!! And now I believe that you’re ready to check out Puscifer as well. 😜
I believe that you NEED to check out The Remedy by them as well.
You like TooL and a Perfect Circle, you should listen to Puscifer since you like Maynard....
I love By and Down The River by APC, though Weak & Powerless is my fave 😍
The APC & PUSCIFER remixes must be reviewed as well.... they are AMAZING!
This is a concept album about addiction & recovery. I’m sure someone already mentioned this in the comments prior, it’s pretty well know.
This is one of most favorite albums EVER!
Gravity is pretty cool
👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Now listen to the live version :)
I'd love to see you do The Noose from this album & 3 Libras from their previous album 🤘🤘
Check out Orestes!
sigh...

@@davidwitt5585 I am a recent subscriber and I don’t have all day to watch back videos. So, you can “sigh” all you want. I’m sorry I was a slight nuisance to your day.
I'd like to dedicate this song to my ex-wife, for whom it was obviously written.
Time to get into puscifer as well polo
Thirteenth Step got me through some really tough times. The whole album is cherry.
I kinda can't hear this song without thinking about Resident Evil 2.
The Thirteenth Step is a concept album about adiction and substance abuse. The typical recovery program has 12 steps and APC is implying that listening to this album is the last step. To me, this song is from the perspective of a friend or a loved one of an addict who is completely enraged and fed up with the addict's behavior and lack of concern over his/her own life. The drug abuse is akin to suicide in this person's point of view.
Well it appears scammers have hit our beloved Polo. Yeah dude, the Tool fans ❤ you!
Can’t wait until you turn on flood. It’ll happen
You seen off POLO..... FULL MOON?
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE do yourself a favor and check out this song performed on the tonight show with jay leno.... its SICK!! mind blowing the way he screams and its actually better than the studio version
Hell, I thought he was talking about some chick who couldn't keep off the drugs and was suicidal.
Please do The Noose! I saw them live about 4 years ago and they were SO SO GOOD!
Seconded.
@@TheeFinchLynch thirded
The noose gets me every time.
I did too they were my first concert. I saw them in Memphis right before Covid. I also saw tool soon after when I was 17. They are awesome my 2 favorite bands as my first concerts.
Great track and another great reaction Polo. My understanding of this song is it was written about Layne Staley (Alice in Chains lead singer, monster voice, rock legend) and the addiction problems that eventually led to his death, but from the point of view of Layne's brother.. like the frustrated cry of a family member who can't do anything to help, but also doesn't understand the addiction that even Layne knew was killing him.
Tragic on every level.
Layne didn't have a brother, but he had a sister.
I'm assuming you meant brother in spirit.
RIP Layne Demri Mike

#TOOLARMY 🤘
For you who likes sad boy vibes try "3 libras" and "Magdalena"
But it's hard to go wrong with APC the floor and their music is so high and fantastic
Weak and powerless from this album is a great song. Hollow is another powerful song. And everyone is different dude. Music moves us in the wind among various temperature and inconsistencies . So there is no reason to just go along with the weather if it's not your kind of day. And that's ok . Thank you POLO for your time and another great reaction
Hollow/Weak and Powerless back to back live from Red Rocks is perfection and I never listen to either separately. The live versions are just on another level, especially the guitar solos
A running joke amongst my friends is that if "A Perfect Circle made a 'best of' album, it'd have every A Perfect Circle song on it"
Flood is an in between song to tie the songs together on the album. Listen to the album as a whole and you’ll understand where “Flood” fits in 🤟
Couldn’t said it better myself. Remember listening to tool the whole albums is an experience. Just can’t listen to 1 song off of albums
I feel this is an insult to Flood. It's an amazing song with an amazing buildup. Honestly one of my top Tool songs of all time.
@@eggstu I did nothing of the sort. I was telling him to put it in the perspective of the album as a whole. Bleeding heart. Stop being offended by everything. He’s a new listener, he’s not us.
How is the last song on the album a song to tie songs together? And yes disgustipated is after this but just as an outro. I think he was just put off by that very long intro ( I was for years). This whole super pretentious theory that every album only works as a whole or even works better as a whole is meaningless.
THIS- GROUND is NOT the ROCK I THOUGHT IT WOULD BE
If you’re going to move into this album, “The Nurse Who Loved Me”.
Yeah it's an excellent cover of a Failure song
"one bullet at a time" is the clue to this song - drug abuse being an eventual "self deletion" one shot/pill/hit at a time. Also, the album's title, "Thirteenth Step," is an expression people in 12 step programs use to describe the common occurrence of people dating other 12 steppers, despite doing so being very much discouraged. I absolutely love the last line of the lyrics - "Do it far away from here" - to me meaning, "Do what you want, but just not around me."
A Perfect Circle is incredible. Mer de Noms is probably the most sonically perfect album of all time. Every song on that album gives me goosebumps
It's like the Beethoven of modern progressive rock.
@@VitaminJay12 nailed it
Agreed 💯%! Mer de Noms is one of the most stellar breakout album releases ever orchestrated. ♥️🕊️🙏🏻
Deftones is severely underrated. Great colab with MJK.
Oooof MJKs voice in passenger gives me chills👍
Deftones were extremely popular. They were not “underrated” in any way.
Tool is my all time fav band, but APC a close second!
Great reaction as always. I like how familiar with Maynard’s idiosyncrasies you’ve become. Re the lyrics , in another reaction thread someone related that it’s told from the perspective of a person visiting hir loved one in rehab and doesn’t “get” that the person is actually suffering and not just acting out for attention.
You’ll love 3Libras by APC!!
In his book, it talks about how Maynard uses his breathing training from cross country as the inspiration for his unique cadence. I thought that was pretty rad
Yes the greatness of Maynard ❤
I listened to this album a lot when I was serving in Iraq. Everyone has their favorite song, for me it's Pet.
This album means a lot to me having been through addiction and suffered from mental health issues. So excited to see you dive into maynards other works. I got to see this one live once and it was incredible. Would love to see some Puscifer as well!
Whole album start to finish is about addiction and recovery. Pounding on the fault line (needle in the arm). Bullet (bag of dope)
Josh Freeze is the drummer for a perfect circle, I believe. He's amazing as well.
So solid. I actually prefer his style drumming to Danny's but that's just me.
This album is one of the great 'concept' albums of recent times. It's thematic from the beginning....(I hate to copy and paste, but) the 13th Step is a term for when a 12-Step member hits on a group newcomer with less than a year of sobriety. It can be for a variety of reasons - emotional, financial, physical - but either way, it's someone in a position of power trying to take advantage of someone who is weaker. If you listen to the album with this in mind, it makes so much more sense. 😉 Y'all have to give Billy Howerdel his props too... It's his band and he really formed this amazing collection of talent
Check out the Apocalypse remix of this song. You don’t have to do a reaction but it is a awesome alternative version that I personally like better than the original.
Agreed. Best remix of any song that I've ever heard!
Was literally almost finished with Lost in Vegas' reaction to this song when this popped up on suggested videos! Let's go!
"if you choose to pull the trigger, should your drama prove sincere. Do it somewhere far away from here!" Ouch Maynard 🤣
No, this song is about Layne Staley's brother and his lack of compassion and understanding to his brother's lifelong drug abuse struggle. He's the outsider looking in at a situation he can't possibly, and doesn't want to, understand
One of their best 🤘APC and Tool are both nuts live too
Loved this song. Maynard’s style is definitely unique and there are patterns to his vocalizations. Enjoyed this a lot and the message of the song too.
Blunt Truth is much better than soft lies. And another otherworldly note from the voice alien in a human suit.
POLO -- would love to see you react to Deftones - Passenger. It's a collab with Chino and Maynard. Great song. It'll blow your socks off.
I can offer more insight as to the meaning of this.
13th Step is an album based around spiritual recovery. "The Outsider" is a song from the perspective of the "victim". They don't understand what's wrong with the person, their help is repaid in pain, and they are over the endless helplessness presented by the offender.
If you've ever cared about or attempted top help an addict, this song speaks true to that experience
You should listen to Orestes or 3 Libras next 👀
This song/ album is all about addiction.
Favorite APC song. Been my alarm in my phone for almost 20 years now. I start every day with this song.
Next you have to check out the Pet by APC.
This is a concept albums about addiction. Anytime you see a song from it, it’s something related to that and drug use
Thirteenth Step...one of my favorites
I think the meaning is about those NOT empathizing with people who are genuinely suicidal, as opposed to those crying wolf.
You've now done 2 of the 4 songs from Maynard's other projects that I will listen to. 👏
There is a live version of this song that they performed on some late night show I believe that is absolutely amazing and you actually see have incredibly talented Maynard actually is. He sounds almost exactly like the album recording. If you liked this song I would for sure check that one out if you get a chance.
That's the Letterman performance.
@@menotyou8369 yeah that’s the one lol you at least knew which one I was talking about
This isn't TOOL.... duh.... Just KNOW you have much growing too do polo
Should've reviewed the Tonight Show performance instead. It is awesome...
If you ever want a great live performance to react to, I HIGHLY recommend A Perfect Circle Live At Red Rocks. I know others will agree too, but I prefer listening to those performances rather than the studio versions 😊 Some wonderful gems are Rose, By and Down, The Noose, and When The Levee Breaks (Led Zeppelin cover)
That’s up there with the best live albums ever. Recorded well great track list and well performed. Great recommendation!
That concert was fucking mind-bogglingly good. I wish I could download that live version of when the levee breaks on apple music.
Unreal concert for sure!!
Absolutely! It's one of the best live album's I've ever heard. It's got great covers of everyone from Led Zeppelin to Marvin Gaye, and the best versions of several of their studio music.
I'm finally catching up with all your reactions....especially Tool and APC. Thank you Polo 💜
