Yes, i'm an A Perfect Circle fan, but this album almost killed it for me. They made the songs better than their originals, of course, but I really would have liked to see something of their own other than a measly two new songs and a remix of Pet.

Of course when this Album was released when the US was going through its "Hey lets rebel against the war," period, so it's understandable that APC was going to come out with a political album to put their two cents in.

Either way I thought it blew, but my respect for them hasn't diminished any. I can take the album in small doses, but i'm hoping their next album is all them, and no covers.

I haven't found much information on Puscifer yet. Mostly all they've done are songs for soundtracks. Death Dealers Descent and Rev 22:20 (Underworld, Saw II), The Undertaker (Underworld: Evolution), and other songs. They don't have too much out right now.

The artists include Maynard James Keenan and Danny Lohner and they will have an upcoming website, dubbed www.puscifer.com, which has yet to be made. Overall though, I can see Puscifer getting popular.

As I find more information, i'll update, as always Maynard is pretty underground about what he's doing.

There is a lot of debate as to what this song is about.. well, other than being absolutly unique to tool, and to any other band i've heard. This song just blows their traditional music out of the water and back in again. A softer side to a harder band isn't always a bad thing, which the guys from Tool have proven with this one.

Anyways, some beleive this song is yet another ode to Maynards mother, though it sounds a bit too romanticized to be about a parental figure. Others beleive that it's a dedication to Maynards long time fiance, which in turn sounds more realistic than the previous rumor. Then again, Jambi could be based on something far more metaphorical than that, which i'm more likely to beleive, Tool is never very obvious about what their songs are about.

My Opinion: I feel that the obvious overtures are about being so connected someone spiritually and emotionally that you would sacrifice everything for them. They are the thing that grounds you and makes you want to move on in the world, to keep on living each day as long as they are by your side, a figure of stability. A nice concept, but I suggest interpreting it yourself.

10,000 days (Wings Part 2) has been rumored to be about Maynards mothers death (Judith Marie), which was supposedly 10,000 days since the album realease. If that was the actual information released by Tool.. then they're pulling your leg. It was a misprint in a magazine, so no. But this song does revolve around his mother, and the 27 years that she was paralyzed.. making it 10,000 days. She is dead now though, so I would veiw this as maynards little goodbye to her and a tribute to her blind faith in god. May she rest in peace and lye where she always beleived she would, so to say.

All of tool's songs, i'm sure, are open to interpretation as is all music. Personally, the first time I heard this song I cried my eyes out. It's absolutly beautiful. The guys from tool really know what they're doing, not that I ever doubted it.
