👴 Old Composer Reactions 🤘
WOOOHOOO - UNBLOCKED :) I want to thank Ixi from Ixi Music for jumping in a helping the video get released form the block!! If you want to check her out and say thank you - th-cam.com/users/iximusic
Wow what an amazing crossover! And a great result from it 🤘😆
Yeah! Great news! I love APC I wanted to see you breaking in down and enjoying the tunes. Much love form Costa Rica.
LOL hell yeah! ixi is the coolest 😎
Really? So now there's yet another reason why Ixi is awesome :)
Literally just came directly from Ixi's breakdown of Billy Howerdel's debut solo album "From What Normal Was" (Guitarist and creative heart of APC.) Probably another album you should check out. Billy spent some serious time on the production of that album. Kismet!
This makes me wanna listen to all of Thirteenth Step again. It's an absolute masterpiece. Drummer Josh Freese is amazing.
He crushes it on this album. Easily one of the best albums for drums of all time. His sexy ghost notes and hi hat work are amazing.
Never heard such drum play when thirteenth step came out. The noose legit made me addicted.
The production is pristine on 13th.
“There is no perfect album.”
13th Step: “Hold my beer.”
@@quantumastrologer5599 Maynard said on a recent interview I’ve seen with him he told Josh to do the stops in the beginning because he’s never heard that before. But it’s absolutely perfect and Josh knew exactly what he meant and performed it perfectly
Thirteenth Step is the prettiest record I own. It’s mood music but when I’m in that mood nothing else hits quite like it. Howerdel is the master of knowing exactly what note to play and when to play it. That record hits feelings for me that nothing else does or will.
Happy to see “So Long and Thanks…” on here. Such a great song and one that usually brings me to tears, with the horrifying thought of “my God, what have we done?”
Really? I always thought of it as a corny soundtrack to like a video yearbook. I even think I read the music was a parody to deliver a bleek message. 😊
Love that song. Such a cool dynamic in lyrics vs instrumental.
@@kentrey the whole point of the composition.
Great choice of songs for the slow burn. Gawds, I don't know why but there is something in the musicality of Disillusioned which just makes me cry every time.
For anyone unaware- 'So Long and Thanks' is a reference to the fourth book of the original Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy by Douglas Adams.
If you're here, you'd probably enjoy the books.
I came here to say this. The dolphins are also directly part of the same (HHGTTG) - after all, they are the ones saying “So long and thanks for all the fish” as they leave the planet.
Don't Panic! The vibe of the song 100% matches the tone of Douglas Adams' books.
He's also singing about all the famous people that died within the last year when the song was released.
So glad to see some Eat the elephant songs. Such a brilliant album
Nope.
@@ndnd2023 It's not a bad album. I rather listen to Eat the Elephant over their Emotive album.
@@ndnd2023 Nope to you.
Hourglass is their greatest song. Not to mention, Hourglass the sounds the closest to a fusion of musical elements from all 3 bands Maynard contributes his vocal, tonality, and lyrical genius into.
It went from my least fav Maynard album to second favorite after just a couple of listens.
Still here! Weak and Powerless actually has way more going on in the mix than you can tell even with awesome headphones. Beato does a great job pulling apart the tracks and his video is worth watching to hear all of the different things happening in that song. It's ridiculous. Great video!
He farted on that video and then edited it out after 24 hours because of comments
Oh, God yes...'The Noose' is one of my favorite tracks, not just by APC, by ANYONE, ever. An absolutely, beautifully gut-wrenching masterpiece.
The Noose has become one of my favourite songs. So freaking powerful stuff
Weak and Powerless: "Tiling my own grave to keep me level." - best line ever
Honestly Mer De Noms is a masterpiece
Exactly. Nothing can top that album.
It was a perfect moment and I think not even those who were involved could recreate it.
@@barbarusbloodshed6347 well... they could recreate it with different effects and a wider soundscape... but I know what you mean.
Mer de noms is one of the most beautiful albums ever written imo. It's perfect.
Thirteenth Step is probably my favorite album of all time.
Thirteenth Step is the best APC album as far as I'm concerned, I still got tears in my eyes listening to it along with you! I can tell you really love music and it comes through, thanks for this!✌️
I thought you were going to start crying during the noose. It's such a beautifully perfect song.
Powerful song, The Noose. I haven't listened to this song in over 15 years, took me right back to that time.
So Long and Thanks for All the Fish is a reference do Douglas Adam's books. I listened to this song a lot when it came out and I love that you imediately got the duality between the happy vibe of the arrangement versus the dark lyrics.
I'm still here! Than you for playing all of my favorite music!
The noose is so crazy
As I work on a novel, I am reminded of many things. Analyzing art is an important process. Thanks Geebz.
Great stuff. The So long and Disillusioned music videos are both absolutely stunning and definitely worth a watch!
Great reaction! Lol, hits us all the same 🙂
Thanks for putting this one out there. These are albums I love, and that make me happy, and I've gotten away from them a bit lately. It's time to go back.
Always great content!
I just love tool and circle so much I could cry...
Weak and powerless. Man, what a ride! In my top 3, forever and always. Just the bass alone 💚
Ah man, The Noose really gets to me. My brother died about two years ago and just rips my heart out.
😥
finaly!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!tks THE NOOSE
You're the man Geebz, I love your breakdowns. It makes me rediscover what I have loved about all these songs from APC for years. I think I know a song and you pull out all these nuances I didn't even realize. Maynard is a gem whether it's APC or Tool and takes the listener on a journey. Makes me rethink my life sometimes with his lyrics. "Time to put the silicone obsession down, take a look around" is what we all need sometimes, love the beauty of nature. I'm still here
First time i heard the noose was right after the album released. That pause of all sound hooked me. Fantastic album
First heard The Noose after buying the CD when it came out and was in Awe.. as I drove home.
you ended up picking my top 3 haha Fantastic as usual!
When Thirteenth Step came out, I was about 16 years old. Don’t remember exactly where I was when I first heard The Noose, but I remember getting activated with my friends Steve and CJ a lot at the time, and this song/album was definitely in our regular rotation. Damn, nostalgia.
Also, thanks for making my night shifts a little more tolerable 🤘🏻
This was a treat, thank you 😎
Glad you enjoyed it!
I'm absolutely still here. Big fan of most things Maynard does. Tool being my favorite band and all. So anytime you get to breaking down something of his, I'll be here with bells on. Keep up the awesome work, man.
Same!! Here for ALL things MJK.
So glad you got it unblocked. Thirteenth Step is such an awesome album. You should really do Blue as well, you'll love it! Still here
You hit the nail on the head with "so long and thanks for the fish "
So long and thanks for all the fish is so beautiful
So glad it has been released, I love A Perfect Circle, in many ways I think it is Maynards best band. The first 2 albums really changed how I viewed the music I love to listen to, Maynard is so emotional, Billy often playing such wonderful simple tunes then the mix just pulling you in so you lose yourself completely. Mer De Noms is a fantastic journey of moods, then Thirteenth Step slugs you between the eyes so beautifully you don't notice until you are getting back up
Tool = GOAT
Just want to say thank you for what you do. You are great for bringing light to so many beautiful songs and breaking them down. Makes me love them even more if thats possible! Plz keep doing what you do bc we appreciate you for it ❤
it's probably already said..but the phrase so long and thanks for all the fish is from the book hitchhiker's guide to the galaxy. where all the dolphins left earth because of our impending destruction.
Man you absolutely nailed that prediction of the video for So Long and Thanks for All the Fish! The title is a reference to the end of the world from The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, wherein the dolphins all fly off into space when the world is about to be destroyed by aliens. The video does also involve the end of the world. Although due to far more human reasons. And it makes me weep!
HOLY FAWN!!!PLEASE!!!
The push and pull of The noose is so good. Truly shows that you don't need to be bombastic to amp up your music and emotion. This album showcased to me what great musicianship, great writing and sound design is like, spent years wondering why other music I listened too dont have the kind of feels i got from the bass, the drum, the varied vocals etc like these.
I’m always still here! Oofta so much to say about these songs. I’m going to have to break my comments into bite size. First there was a discrepancy between Billy and Maynard about the the lyrical content of The Noose. Both Maynard and Billy’s mothers died roughly the same time. When Billy made the music it was inspired by that moment in his life so he thought that the song should be about their mothers passing. But Maynard didn’t want the content of the song to change the direction of the concept of the album which is about addiction and the many forms and different perspectives of addiction
I’m still here, dude😊👍🏽. The Noose was the very first song of APC I ever heard, and has probably remained my favourite song of theirs since I got into them. Absolutely love it! Great, interesting and concise reaction! Take care
Great choices. Such subtlety in these vocal performances.
Love that you got the intent behind SLATFATF - here’s this slightly pop-y track, how can we turn that upside down, lyrically, while still having soaring vocals?
I’m with you on the breakdown in Dissolution - I think it’s the most beautiful breakdown in any APC song.
Still here!
Eat the Elephant took me a while to get it was so much slower than 13th step in overall soundscape. Lyrically it is heavier than anything they had done prior. Really love how expressive it is
Weak & Powerless resonates with me too much
Listened all the way through... I love this music.
APC is one of those bands that leashed me as a teen and shaped me as a young adult into who I am today. What I love about your reactions is that it takes me back to when I heard this stuff for the first time and felt the same things you just did. F*ck me it makes me glad to be alive... and to be phenomenally blessed (I'm not religious but no other word is adequate) to experience sensation and consciousness. I still haven't lost the sense of awe I experienced in my adolescence of the sheer magnificence of FEELING... of being... of living that music and art evokes... it's a hook that never let me go (you might have guessed that's what's behind the name 'Sense Music Media').
*Gushing rant over* Thanks for your service Geebz, much appreciated 🙏
Just what I needed☮️💜alright!
The Noose always reminds me that Maynard is a BJJ Brown (?, maybe promoted by now) belt and a co-founder of a BJJ academy in AZ.
Ye gods, Disillusioned hit as hard as it ever did.
This album (Thirteenth Step) literally changed my life and helped pull me from a deep dark place. Long time ago. Thanks Maynard and band. 🙏🏼
So Long and Thanks for All the Fish is a Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy reference.
Not sure if anyone else has commented on it but "So Long, and Thanks for All the Fish" is a reference to Douglas Adams' "A Hitchhiker's Guide To The Galaxy". It refers to the dolphins as being the most sentient beings on planet Earth and upon the arrival of the end of the world (which is brought around by an alien race named the Vogons - who have arranged for the destruction of our planet to make way for an interstellar super-highway), all of the planets dolphins decide to leave the planet so go flying away (yup, flying lol), and the last thing they say to the humans is "so long, and thanks for all the fish".
Obviously that isn't the actual subject matter of the track, which is actually about US bringing about the end of the world through our over-consumption and polluting of the sea and it's inhabitants.
oh man, great song selection ;)
Highly recommend listening to By and Down the River by them also, gives me chills every time I hear it
Meshuggah Slowburn:
1. Pravus
2. Break those bones who sinews gave it motion
3.Straws pulled at random
4. Demiurge
5.Nostrum

Why does the audio on your vids sound so much better than listening to it directly? 🎵
"So glad to see you well, over come-down, completely silent now, with Heaven's help, you've cast your demons out.. Not to pull your halo down, around your neck and tug you off your cloud, but I'm more than just a little curious how you're planning to go about making your amends... to the dead"
Listening to you while at work again, hello from TN. Thank you for the videos you make, need to do a slow burn on Matchbox 20 and Fear Factory
Thirteenth Step is hands down their masterpiece. Mer De Noms is brilliant but Thirteenth Step is a concept album and the flow is insane.
Fun watch, always loved this band. 'So Long and Thanks For All The Fish' is a Douglas Adams book, from Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy books/movie. All the dolphins left earth before it was going to get destroyed and that was their message to humanity.
"So Long and Thanks for All the Fish" was very much done to be mockery.
The entire song is a double entendre between celebration and atomic destruction. The song is written in major, with lyrics about mutually assured destruction and the end of our world. The title was taken from the book "Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy" and there are references to celebrity icons that have passed away. Easily, this song is one of my favorites, and i have seen very few people give it a chance, let alone, comprehend the song.
I wish I could hear the 13th step for the first time, again.
You should do one on Cult of Luna, but their atypical tracks featuring other vocalists, softer tones, etc...
nice to hear you say that you had a big impact on this ....the noose one of the best tracks........now i suggest you GET THE LEAD OUT....... TKS IN ADVANCE
THANK YEW GEEBZ!!!! ✌❤🤘
The Noose is probably one of my all time favorites, I know the concept of the Album was about addiction and recovery but I also get the religious snobbery from this song. Sleeping Beauty was a very interesting song to see live, I saw APC when they first toured with NIN. I went to this show for NIN but this song had me hooked on APC, they gave me this "witchy" vibe back then. Good picks for the slow burn, and break down.
I'm still here!
13th step is their best album...all are great but it's just on Another level!
Still patiently waiting for that Coheed and Cambria slow burn! APC is also such a good slow burn! Thirteenth Step is one of the greatest albums of all time.
Hey Geebz, have you considered to pick up a song from the Billy Howerdel's new effort and react to it?? I think that record is quite simply... amazing!
"Weak and Powerless" is MILES better than most of the Tool catalog! 💯😎 It just MUST be said out loud!
Hey dude. You looked a little stressed out, or like you've been loosing sleep. Hope all is okay, and strength to you bud.
Hi Geebz. This was great! I never heard the “So long and thanks for all the fish” song. I think you missed the Douglas Adams reference for the song. You should check out the intro song for the “Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy” movie. 😀
Still here Geebz! Fantastic long form per usual. 🤙🏻
Maybe I’m just stoned, but the similarity between the APC album cover with the dolphins, and your poster that has the same thing; palm trees curving inward and a sun in the middle. Just thought it worth mentioning.
Edit: also an obstructed sun, and over water.
If you haven't already I hope you get to interview Maynard someday I love your stuff:-)
Halo.....shivers
Sleeping Beauty is probably my favorite song on Mer du Noms...I love the way Maynard plays with his voice in this track. 3 Libras may be a prettier(?) melody, but there's just something about this one that hits me harder.
Have you heard of, or listened to, a band called Sleepy time Gorilla Museum? They remind me a little of Primus (both are Bay Area bands)...not in the way they sound, because neither band sounds like *anyone else*, but in their playful and experimental an up roach to music. I'd be extremely curious to hear your impressions. They have 3 "major" songs - Hymn to the Morning Star, The Donkey Headed Adversary of Human Opens the Book (these two open their album Of Natural History and *kind of* go together, and then also Sleep is Wrong from Grand Opening and Closing.
Song 1:
@7:45 seriously have to be in awe of how this is a completely perfect rondole' (sp?). I mean, people "do this" all the time. But they are almost never succesful at it, nor is it ever nearly as complicated a puzzle. Every line of music fits inside the same phrase, but never in the same pocket, so each never gets in the other's way. Every once in a while I just have to say "I am not worthy." The planning that went into how this all fits together in Noose, is one of those times. Hat's off. Then, MJK kicks us gently, right in the teeth, once more. "Yeah that's your halo that's choking you." - ouch. dick. lol
Song 2:
@11:08 notice how the bass goes from clean at the beginning to this crazy, "broken horn" live microphone distortion sound as the vocals kick in?
Song 3:
@19:20 "Don't Panic." - This is for the, now in limbo, film sequel to Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, called "The Restaurant at the End of the Universe". By explanation: In HGTTG: The Dolphins are leaving Earth because they know it's about to be demolished by a Vogon Intergalactic Constructor Fleet, that hangs in the air the way bricks don't, in order to make way for an intergalactic space bypass*. They were saying, "So long and thanks for all the fish." (
Still here! Sleeping Beauty is so underrated in their catalog! I was 18 when Mer De Noms came out but I had a fake ID so I could go to the bars with my 21 yo girlfriend. I sang sleeping beauty at karaoke and dedicated it to her. I knew I was making a mistake when I was singing “ poisoned and hoooooopeless.” 😅 she didn’t notice. Wonder what she’s up to these days…
watched the entire thing! and loved it.. i really would love you to react you to "rose by apc" as well! one of my personal favorites and definetly one of the more interesting pieces of music to me!
[I am still here] :D
"So Long and Thanks..." gives Cranberries vibes (see Dreams).
I absolutely love A Perfect Circle. Saw them at Red Rocks a couple years back and every single song is incredible. There is almost nothing that they do that isn't good. The Noose always sounded like criticism of 12 step program alcoholics. You can't say your sorry to a DUI manslaughter victim. Sad truth in it.
Still here! Lol
I have a very beginner level podcast but I'd love to do a listening session with you, I've been a beginner musician for about 20 years and I have opinions!
The title "so long and thanks for all the fish" is in reference to the movie "Hitchhikers guide to the galaxy". Namaste btw 😊
Definitely check out APC Orestes live Stone and Echo. So much ambiance.
Another good song for live ambiance is End of the Affair by Ben Howard live at Glastonbury. Such a haunting song.
13th step, as kind of implied by the title of the album, has a lot to do with people's relationships to addiction (Weak and Powerless), at least the songs featured here do, at least that's my interpretations of them, also Maynards relationship with his Mom and her heavy relationship to religion despite being paralyzed from a freak accident and his struggle to understand it. (The Noose).
Still here
still here
Where's this surfer channel? I NEED IT
Also I think you’ve listened to most of a perfect circle music ngl feels like you breezed through them but they’re a great band I don’t think you heard talk talk but just incase they have a song called talk talk that’s also on the eat the elephant album
500mg of indica down, fat j rolled, let's go. Thanks ixi
Check out Gravity!
Btw the playlist you linked is for Tool not A Perfect Circle
I'm still here!
Mer De Noms for the win but you can’t go wrong with Thirteenth Step. I feel after Emotive and aMOTION it wasn’t the same, yeah there are some good songs after that but not full albums.
"So long and thanks for all the fish" is what the dolphins sing before leaving planet earth right before it gets destroyed in Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy. Great movie and great book.

Geebz you gotta react to the original haha you'll love it!
