APC -- Thirteenth step is the only good new album I've heard in a while..... not to say that it wouldn't stand well if it came out in the middle of a storm of good albums, of course. It feels very different than anything else out there right now and that alone is inspiring -- the fact that even when it seems its all been done an album will catch you off guard and take you somewhere you haven't been before.

I finally bought it, and, at first I was apprehensive. The first time through, I quickly realized that it is NOTHING like Mer De Noms, but now I love it.

yeah, you can't really compare the two albums, they're just both brilliant in their own right.

Definitly. They're almost like two different bands on each album. Though, I s'pose...they kind've ARE, since they have a new lineup.

Anyone love me enough to send me the Gravity mp3? I ripped it, but I messed up and was doing stuff while I ripped it so it skips, so I just deleted it...I'm too lazy to try again, and if I download it on KaZaA it'll just have that horrendous "SCREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE." in the beginning :O.

I was never too big a APC fan until a few weeks ago, when some buddies drug me to an APC show. It rocked my socks, so now I'm a fan. APC can put on a heck of a show.
"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.

My favourite part about APC is that what you hear on the album is what you hear live. They're that good.
