| The Wolf User Info... | I wondered how he could put out an album so early on the heels of "the 13th step" , It is a cover album... unlike Korn's album he pulls off covers of "Imagine" "What's Going On" "When the Levee Breaks" "people are People" I usually hate cover albums but this one will really grow on me..he really re-interprets the songs - Wed, 3 Nov 2004 9:38am | ||
| cooper User Info... | Who's "he"? - Wed, 3 Nov 2004 4:30pm | ||
| Nik Olaz User Info... | i heard the Black Flag cover, i was scared i then heard the John Lennon cover, i was horrified there should be a rule against making cover albums. this shit has gotta stop. - Wed, 3 Nov 2004 5:49pm | ||
| Masturbating The War God User Info... | I've only heard the 'imagine' cover, and honestly, I thought it fucking stunk. I understand why Maynard did it, but ya, keep to your own poop! - Wed, 3 Nov 2004 6:41pm | ||
| lauren a User Info... | if you're going to cover a john lennon song, please do it well or don't do it at all. - Fri, 12 Nov 2004 1:30pm | ||
| [+} User Info... | ..or if you are yoko ono. - Fri, 12 Nov 2004 11:02pm | ||
| J User Info... | isn't a cover supposed to be an interpretation of someone elses work(s) thus this album is 'their' interpretation of imagine, when the levee breaks etc... I thought it was creative to completely change the melody of imagine... sure you all may say that it sucks and its not even close to what john lennon wrote but that's the whole point isnt it? that's just my interpretation of the ever famous band mistake of making a 'cover album'... can't wait for outkast to hit up some dear prudence... i can hear it now - Sat, 13 Nov 2004 10:45am | ||
| Masturbating The War God User Info... | Oh course, who wants to listen to the exact same song, but that doesn't mean you will automatically love the different version. - Sun, 14 Nov 2004 2:30pm | ||
| ONE WILL FALL User Info... | Imagine, John Lennon: a song about hope Imagine, APC: loss of hope, or same song same mistakes different time blah blah blah (gota love those minor chords) Anyway I like it. I took me a while though seeing the video helped - Tue, 16 Nov 2004 3:55pm | ||
| ScottL User Info... | Personally, I like the album, it kind of shows how experimental APC is. Also, even though the songs aren't exact covers, the interpretations/rewrites are still very good. On one of the songs though (Peace Love and Understanding) the vocals are really strange... I can't say 100% they are Maynard, but he is very versatile, so its entirely possible... 2 thumbs up, even if they are wierd covers. - Wed, 24 Nov 2004 10:04pm | ||
| Spark User Info... | I've only ever heard the imagine cover, which is okay but the music video is like a bad rip off of avarl lavine doing "knocking on heavens door" I absolutely hated it. Are there any really good covers/personal favorites on this album? - Fri, 26 Nov 2004 12:12pm | ||
| ScottL User Info... | Freedome of Choice is one of my favorites. My second in line would be People Are People which is a Devo cover. - Wed, 1 Dec 2004 7:17am | ||
| alain User Info... | To answer Scott, I'm pretty sure that Peace Love and Understanding is sung by Billy H. Review wise, I love most of this album sonically, and conceptually, I think they're taking risks, doing things they've never done. Just because the songs may not have been written by them, doesn't mean that they're taking an easy way out and doing the same old. I personally think that I would have a harder time rewriting existing songs than comming up with new ones from scratch, and I think they pulled it off very well. - Wed, 1 Dec 2004 3:59pm | ||
| Trican User Info... | this album shouldn't of been an "APC" album. it should of just been Maynard doing his thing... it should of been a solo project. what do ya'll think about that? - Thu, 2 Dec 2004 1:32am | ||
| Nik Olaz User Info... | it would still suck. - Thu, 2 Dec 2004 6:48pm | ||
| Useful_Idiot User Info... | I'm thinking Maynard has lost it. He needs to get a new, non-shitty Tool album out as soon as possible. - Sun, 26 Dec 2004 10:52pm | ||
| scottl User Info... | a lot of the stuff isn't maynard. A lot of the re-arrangments are from other members of the band. Its not totally maynard, it was a total team effort it seems from the insert. Some of the stuff is kinda wierd. - Wed, 29 Dec 2004 12:27am | ||
| Onemosphere User Info... | I really don't like what they did to "When the Levee Breaks". It completely detracts from the exotic sound that song had, makes it seem generic and uninspiring. - Wed, 5 Jan 2005 3:34pm | ||
| SublimeKid User Info... | APC covering Imagine was like Dolly Parton covering Stairway. It doesn't matter how big you are. Definite respect for taking risks and not copping out to do a note for note cover but...it's Imagine! You shouldn't F with someone else's art. He could have just as easily conveyed the disgusting state our world is in using his own words. Too bad we can't ask John what he thinks of the song! It definitely reflects reality but I just don't like that he used that song. - Wed, 5 Jan 2005 10:53pm | ||
| alain User Info... | Oh Boo freakin Hoo. Everyone is so bent on the imagine cover because they're sentimentally attached and have a certain view of that song that the APC version purposely shattered. - Sun, 9 Jan 2005 12:59am | ||
| Nik Olaz User Info... | no one's remaking the Mona Lisa. or sorry putting their own "spin" on it. - Sun, 9 Jan 2005 2:26am | ||
| Onemosphere User Info... | "APC version purposely shattered" Sucking on purpose, is still sucking. - Sun, 9 Jan 2005 1:32pm | ||
