A Perfect Circle's new album and single

Post by Lando »

So their new album eMOTIVe will be out on the american presidential election day, November 2.

I just received an email yesterday with their new single from the album. The song is.......... well...... a cover song some of you might have heard before. A little song called IMAGINE by John Lennon.

Let me say, since the quality, Real and Windows Media, are the only two streaming formats I could hear it in, I was a little disapointed on first listen. However, once I ignored the quality flaws, I loved it and I can't wait to see what this new album about, WAR, PEACE, GREED and whatever else they mentioned is going to be like.

Here's the album cover too by the way!

cool beans.
"When looking up there, I just felt whole, like I belonged. Like one day I too would shine my most brilliant. Sitting there also made me think about sitting through services at my little country church back home. About that never-changing congregation of the same sixty-seven people and everyone has known you since before you were born. Now, out here in the real world, everything just seemed more vivid than when I used to sit in that little pew. That pew that was now so, so far away from where I was. I feared I had somehow left God behind there, too. I feared he was somehow just sitting there, saving my seat on the fifth pew from the front row, just waiting on me to come back. I left so quickly, I worried that he may not have noticed I was gone. And, now, I’m just too far away to find. So he’s just sitting there, patiently waiting on me to come back. I closed my eyes and prayed a moment. I hoped more than anything that he could still hear me." -an excerpt from my novella, A Sea of Fallen Leaves.

You can find a good quality mp3 of Imagine on Limewire. I had like 200 results of a 192 kbps file.

Excellently excellent. It gets quite stupendous right at "You may say I'm a dreamer."

Worst. Cover. Of Imagine. Ever.

Seriously, though. If John Lennon had a grave, he'd be rolling in it. That song is NOT supposed to be dark and brooding. :neutral:

I'm in the middle. Its definetely an interesting take on the song but I think it strays a little to far than it should have.

Admittedly, it is pretty... different than the original. But, it is still pretty cool, though.

I'm not even too massive a Maynard fan, so I'm taking it from a pretty unbiased standpoint.

Yeah, no, I agree with Trent. it is different from the original, and it is pretty damn cool, too.

i'm loving it. :thumbs:

I just heard it and I rather like it. Maynard has an amazing voice.

I'm not sure if they should've released it as a single though. :uhh:

Come on, it's not that dark. It has violins! and not eerie ones!

Actually, it doesn't stray at all from the message the original is trying to present. It just relays it differently to how the band sees all the events that have happened with the war and all the negative worldwide events.

I don't think it should have been a single, being a cover, so I agree with you there. But the band has a unique perspective and unique way of presenting their standpoints. That's what this album is going to be about.
