Did you feel the shiver in the syncopated harmonics of the chorus? It gets me EVERY. SINGLE. TIME.
This album is just packed with hauntingly beautiful moments!
Yup
Sounds like the future every time I hear it!
Same! I vividly remember picking this album up 22 years ago. Even though I’ve listened to it thousands of times that part still gets me.
Fun fact, Tim Alexander from Primus played drums on this track. All the other drum tracks on the album were recorded by Josh Freese.
Nice profile pic
no way! I'm huge Josh's fan and I didn't notice that's not him.
Was literally going to write this, complete with "fun fact" at the beginning. Well done 👏👏👏
@@mat_j Right I know it sounds so much like his style
@@bwhotwing411 yes
The Hollow is still to this day, probably my favorite APC song. The only criticism is that the song is too damn short. To be fair, the song could be 6 hours long and it would still be too short for me. Perfection.
The Package mesmerizes me to this day.
@@whatdothlife4660 Yeah that groove in the Package is crazy, super dark lyrics and mood is a good opening track for the Thirteenth Step record. As is the Hollow for Mer De Noms.
All APC songs, especially on Mer de Noms and Thirteenth Step are too short. We're spoiled by Tool.
Mer de Noms is one of the best albums ever made, but i agree that most of the songs should be longer.
This album is also one of those I find difficult to not just listen to straight through. If I listen to just one track, as it ends, I’m thinking of the next one.
Billy Howerdell never gets enough credit. Its always Maynard. I believe Howerdell wrote near enough the full album. His composition skills are amazing. Paz was an unbelievable bass player on this album too.
Just to add to that Billy plays most of the bass on the album, Paz only plays bass on one tune but she does do vocals and violin on several though.
And Maynard would say it's Billy's band, because it is. Billy, and the band are amazing in their own right.
Oh he gets it from the right people. The whole notable work of APC is clearly in it’s own full compositional articulation. It’s just awesome to get Maynards vocals and melody, which add a bite that is really his contribution.
I agree with all the praise & comments about Billy, and his efforts. But Maynard is the magical ingredient that brings it home and delivers it as needed.
Actually Billy Howerdel( the guitarist ) executes many of the harmonies. He also happened to be Tool’s guitar tech when they made this album
Amazing Band...their first 2 Albums are true masterpieces...worthy of a full Album review...greetings from Amsterdam dear mr. Geebz!!
Indeed. First 2 apc records are incredible.
Eat The Elephant is awesome
as an addict (in recovery) 13th step is just such an important album to me.. gravity is so perfect.. but the whole album is incredible.
FYI. The Drummer on this song is Tim Herb Alexander of PRIMUS
First two APC albums are absolutely golden
Eat the Elephant is great, too. It's often different in tone, but still some superb songs.
All of their albums are absolutely golden.
The Hollow might be my favorite APC song, it was the first song I heard by them that really hit me hard...and still does every dang time.
Both of their first two albums have killer opening tracks for me. Tough call on favorite APC song. This is in the conversation, though.
Same and lead me to Tool!
There is a version of this song played by Paz (bassist) on piano and singing. It's beautiful 😍❤️
Hollow - Constantly Consuming Mix. found on the Album aMOTION, for anyone who wants to listen to it
Paz ❤🇦🇷🇦🇷
Worth noting, on this track, both the lead and rhythm guitarists provide the backing vocals... And on some other tunes, like Orestes or Judith, there are Four Part Vocal harmonies... Love it all the way...
I'm going to comment on this video.
Saaaame!!! I was struggling on how to put the raw emotions into words when I came across your comment. You captured my feelings perfectly
Holy smokes. I haven't heard this song since the early 2000s. I'm instantly brought back to hearing it for the first time as a shy teenager.
Hell yeah, friend. Welcome back. Transcend..
For some reason I always come back to this song. Truly hits the soul.
First concert I ever went to back in 2002 was A Perfect Circle, and my favorite song from them this album got me through some times.
I was just thinking today that it'd been awhile since you've reacted to APC - so happy to see them return to the channel! -- I still can't wait for you to decompose "The Noose", the way that song weaves is just so moving.
Mer de Noms and Thirteenth Step are my favorite sounding albums ever. Everything is perfect to my ear.
And I *LOVE* this song so, so much.
That part where he goes... "Cause its TIME to bring the FIRE dowwwwnn". Might be the best moment in all APC.
Maynard does alot of "fill meee uuup aahhhgainnnnnn ah tempo....
You can't hear the ah in transition to again to temp but it's there more attached to again. He's a genius
Aloha! Had to let you know, I've missed watching you for a while, just heard about your shoulder surgery, sending my love and healing thoughts to you for that. I feel you, bad shoulder myself...And In Spite of that pain, you had me right back to my "Drummer Spirit" (Lead Percussionist in High School in TX, currently enjoying smiles before work in North Myrtle Beach, SC)...the drums I. that song are so crisp, you also reminded me that I've been promising myself an electronic kit, I live in an apartment complex, can't practice drumming properly without noise. So, Thanks For Being You & helping create such an amazingly beautiful community of "Souls & Inspirations" (Righteous Brothers Nod, My Dad sang that song in is Tenor/Bass voice Soooo Good)
It's awesome you picked up on the "synth" during the verses. Billy loves using synth-effect pedals and guitar synths. In one interview back during the touring of Mer de Noms, he was talking about how he loves making the guitar itself sound like a synth and opening even more sonic pallettes and audio possibilities with it!
This song is amazing. Their first two albums are phenomenal.
All of their albums are phenomenal.
One of my favorite songs by them!
The drummer on this track is Tim Alexander (Primus drummer)... super talented. This was the only track he did with APC.
Hard to think it was 22 years ago that I heard this for the first time! Still sounds so fresh even now. Awesome job Geebz!
This is whole album is amazing. It’s still constantly on my playlist after over 20 years since it came out.
I just discovered your channel and have enjoyed bingeing on your Tool/APC/Puscifer reactions. Gosh, to hear them again for the first time.... Sober was my first song in the late 90s and have been a Tooligan ever since. Not a single song that doesn't give me goosebumps. These bands are the soundtrack of so many lives. So many breakthroughs for people. So cathartic. Thank you. Maynard gets under the skin with that voice. He's got an amazing instrument there! Danny has always reminded me of Animal from the Muppets... Drums is life.
What a great song. Those melodies with Maynard and Billy are just angelic.
Side note… I would love to see you react to a band called Cave In. They recently released a new album, I recommend the track “blood spiller” it’s one of my favorites. Keep rockin Geebz!
I think this band was a perfect storm of unique and insanely talented musicians converging at the right time.
Billy
Maynard
Josh (now of Devo)
Paz (now of Pixies)
Troy (now of QOTSA)
Just a killer lineup, killer sound.
This track is actually played by Tim Alexander (of Primus fame). Its the only one on this album.
Josh now of Foo Fighters :)
Instant thumbs up…. Haven’t even seen the video yet but I’m stoked. This was a epic song for its time.
"'Cause it's time to bring the fire down. Bridle all this indiscretion. Long enough to edify, and permanently fill this hollow" What a great song talking the hollowness people live with. Like this song is about a woman who feels hollow inside and tries to fill it with sex only for the relief to last a couple minutes. Same goes for people who use drugs.... they use them to try to feel good feelings even if artificial. But all you're doing is making the hollowness grow. I'd know, it's getting hungry.
Absolute love 🤘🏼good god the transition from 2:20 to around 2:28 🫠🤤🤯 have to replay it a few times every time
you bring new depth to something I already loved, thank you
Check out A Perfect Circle's cover of "When the levee breaks" its a proper tear jerker 🤘 iv had the please of seeing TooL, Puscifer and A Perfect Circle live, gotta say Tool still top the lot!
I love the way you reacat to this song and i love this song very much ! Greatings and love from germany ❤️ ❤️ ❤️ ❤️ ❤️ ❤️
The production of this album is still one of the best on this mudball
6:30 ... the suspense of disbelief by APC... awwwrigth keep em coming geebz, may I remind you, am still here!
You need to check out their song Brena. Incredible song and the guitar solo at the end is so amazing. My favourite solo of all time. Some really enchanting bass as well. You'll love it
Best song and perfect song to begin this album. Plus Timmy Herb plays drums on this track!
Dying for The Noose reaction!
YESS BABY I WAS WAITING FOR THIS WOOOOOOOOOOOO
That song easily stood out from their debut.
The Hollow? Finally!! 😁👏🏻
Love this song, love APC, so glad you fid this. Saw them open for NIN in 2000 - felt very lucky. 🌊💙
Same, it was a great show.
One of the few albums I listen to straight through. Definitely an awesome beginning ❤️
Maynard James Keenan is a genius! This song is great and the music he made with Perfect Circle was so beautiful and full of angst. Tool was a thinking person’s band. Perfect Circle is a band with beauty. Puscifier to me is comedy.
Man, I'm so surprised you haven't gotten back into a Sleep Token decomposition. Talk about an absolutely amazing voice along with a plethora of musical arrangements that'll take you from one end to another. Please, my friend. You will be blown away. The new album is sure to give you chicken skin with every song.
Geebz, as always, it's so amazing to hear your thoughts on some of my favorite songs or artists. Thank you for the effort, care, raw insight and knowledge you put into your videos.
I listen to something by MJK everyday. There's so much that helps me get through that "something" that happens everyday. Covid and PTSD have demolished the rug out from under our family. Whether it's TOOL,APC or lots of Puscifer "Existential Reckoning" written while/after he had Covid.
Yesssirrrr thank you for doing this video Geebz I promise that whole album that the songs from is great much love ❤️ 🤟🏽
The drums are so heavy in this track. Great record over all with cool guitar tones too.
Excellent reaction my dude! Thanks for your time and effort spent reacting for us listeners 👍
THANK YOU, Geebz, for hitting another APC song!! I can't click the link fast enough when I see one of these pop up 😊. Awesome breakdown as always!
It's hard to believe it but it's been almost 22 years since I first heard this song and I still remember the exact moment. It was January and we were on a highway with extreme fog so we could only go about 20 miles per hour, I was getting over being extremely sick but my friend popped this in the cd player and I was absolutely blown away. I had heard tool and I was already a huge fan but this was something different. Something with a different type of emotion behind it. This song reminds me of my leap into adulthood with no plan, no desire for one, no worries. Funny thing is, I actually understand the song now and I didn't before.
The funny thing is that Mer De Noms came out in May 2000
@@guitaristssuck8979 yeah and January 2001 was almost 22 years ago
@@charliesimpson3658 21 and a half ☝😎
Let's go APC. Been a quick minute. I haven't heard this track for a long time. Good to hear it again
I used to play this song on repeat ...💜☮️
conquer and devour
This and all of Mer De Noms are great analysis fodder. APC has a very unique style
Hey Key, great job on this one. One of my favorites by APC, is the introduction of a very unique and wonderful album.
From APC you could give a try to Pet from thirteenth step.
Don't forget about PUSCIFER.🤞✌
Mer de noms & Thirteenth Step = Two perfect Circles 🤘🤙✌️🙃😉
Thanks Geebz, This is one of my favorite Perfect Circle songs.😀
You make me listen to music completely differently, and it's changed things for me! May I make a suggestion for a Maynard piece? He and Trent Reznor started a project together that never got off the ground, but there is a song called Potions that was released that Maynard sounds almost angelic in.
I do not know if anyone else said but this song is from "Mer De Noms" and I am not sure why the Emotive album image is up. Great Video!
Glad you mentioned the mix on the kick drum. I've only seen A Perfect Circle once in concert, back in 2000 when they opened for Nine Inch Nails. The performance was great, but the one thing that still sticks out is the mix, even in the live setting, on the kick drum. You could feel it in your chest every time it hit.
I am so glad you did this one! This remains my favorite A Perfect Circle song, ever.
This is a perfect album.
Not sure if anyone has pointed this out below, but that harmony on the chorus is sung by both Billy and Maynard. They start right in the middle, just on top of each others voices, then Billy hits the higher key and Maynard splits to the lower key. Took me a while to learn that. If you listen to Billy's own project 'Ashes Divide', you can hear his singing range, register, and tone way more clearly.
❤❤❤ perfect circle.. Amazing
First track off their first album and it’s so good.
btw I remember when this album came out. Hollow is the first son on the first APC album Mer De Noms, it was so new and so fresh. It got me instantly.
As others have said the graphic is wrong, this song is from Mer De Noms, not the 3rd album Emotive. Thanks for more APC content and breakdown.
Josh Freese is a monster drummer. The whole band is powerful and Josh is the glue.
This is such a cool song
This album for me it's top notch, music and musicians
This live at Red Rocks was insane!
It’s funny you mention Jimmy Page and Robert Plant because there’s a audio recording of an acoustic set floating around on TH-cam that APC does that reminds me very much of the Jimmy Page and Robert Plant from the No Quarter album they came out when they play in Morocco. It’s stunning you don’t realize the Middle Eastern influence as much until you hear them play their songs acoustically… Maynard and Billy are the modern day Page and Plant
It's Maynard's vocals in twisting harmony with the guitar during the chorus that I find most unique about this song!!! 😁🤘❤️🎼
Was waiting on this one ☺️
I have those same coffee cups! 🤙🏼
Mer De Noms and Thirteenth step are arguably Maynard's best vocal work. I love Tool but I think Maynard shined better in APC.
Yeah I remember when 13th step came out I had posted on a form that I thought it was Maynard’s best vocals to date. I got lots of heat and skepticism then.
As a kid, I initially didn't even realize that the two bands had the same singer lol. The performances were so different, APC is much more emotional
Agreed. Always preferred APC over Tool.
@@barbarusbloodshed6347 I actually prefer Tool, but I still think the best vocal performance is 13th step
Just in time before a camping trip! My Man!!
What an opener for their debut. Epic!
Mer de Noms is a perfect album! The definitive peak of Maynard's catalogue imho
Right it’s amazing to think that Maynard recorded Lateralus not long after this. Possibly the best performance within a single year ever. Two of my all time favorite albums
Yeah, this. It has to be one of the best rock albums of all time.
Amen one peak at least
Always LOVED this track. If you want a really cool alternative take on it, check out the "Constantly Consuming Mix" version of this, with a totally different arrangement and former member Paz Lenchantin providing the vocals.
Love you man! Aloha from Australia
Definitely one of my more fav songs from APC
Still gold after more than two decades. Great band, perfect album and a stunner opener song.
man the harmonies with chorus hook me so hard every time. one exceptional example is the final chorus of Orestes...packs so much emotion into it. I'll never forget hearing The Hollow for the first time, my brother introduced me to them (I had no idea it was singer of Tool) and I heard the chorus and was like "who is this again? this is incredible!" been an apc fan ever since, later got into Tool.
I see Geebz doing APC, I watch. Tim Alexander from Primus did the drums on this track.
Yessss. Back to the prog classics!
more Opeth please!! Moonlapse Vertigo deserved a listen. great reaction :)
Back in 2012 I got to experience APC doing a sound check to this song with just a few of us watching. It gave me chills hearing it that clearly live. Maynard only sang for a few seconds but hearing the instrumental live was absolutely amazing. I got to meet Billy on his recent solo tour and have him sign my APC shirt from then. :)
Pretty sure (0.05 < pvalue ~) that Maynard heard this riff while Billy was Adam Jones' guitar tech, and was intrigided enough to establish the begginings of APC.
Do Bela fleck and the Flecktones BTW.
I remember when this CD came out. My roomate (R.I.P.) and just couldn't stop listening to this song that entire summer. This one and The Outsider are theyre best IMHO
LOVE APC
Absolute mastery in engineering
Dude I honestly feel like starting my own band called the perfect square with all these different kind of mathematical engineered instrumental songs with simple vocals, Maynard's lyrics aren't that complicated they're straightforward and they cut to the soul
It's the instrumental part that would take me a lifetime to learn how to rhythm the way they do
Or like the perfect oval as a name
Love your work as always geebz, I needed that this morning, think I've asked before but would love to see you do pharmacopoeia from Mudvayne. Awwright!!!
I love this song so much. it is legit my fav song off of Mer de noms. Thats being said gotta say you had Emotive on screen while reacting to it..haha Had to say it
This song will always be one of my favorite Maynard songs. Not just APC but all of the 3 bands
