Editorial Review:
Maynard James Keenan is known for venting his personal angst through the abstract metal of his former band Tool and the poisoned art rock of his current outfit A Perfect Circle. On the group's third full-length release, however, the songwriter drops the high drama and gets blunt: War is bad. Politicians are evil. The world is doomed. To support his case he delivers a handful of politically charged originals and unusual Eastern-influenced covers of crusty anti-war anthems like John Lennon's "Imagine" and Marvin Gaye's "What's Going On." You could never accuse Keenan of being predictable. --Aidin Vaziri

Average Rating: 
Rating:  - On point, emotional and rocks
The album's strong theme of our own ignorant annihilation of each other is smartly divided into a progression of it happening. Like all great albums, you need to spend some time with it, make friends and it will reveal to you great emotion. If you are ignorant to class disparities, the real cost of war or how we are being treated by power, this album will probably just confuse you. In that case, sit back and enjoy the brilliantly written compositions.
Rating: - Good Stuff...
I love this CD. You don't appreciate older songs these days until they are made with more modern sound. Definitely makes me want to go back and listen to all the good songs from older times. But APC did some awesome remakes and added a few bells and whistles to each song.
Rating:  - Dissapointment
No wonder this CD isn't more popular. It is nowhere as good as their other releases or anything from Tool. Except for two songs, it's a waste IMO.
Rating: - Not so Perfect covers
Maynard Keenan has proven already that he can do intriguing things with other people's material. Witness Tool's stunning cover of "No Quarter." Or the Replicants doing a deft and tongue-in-cheek version of "Silly Love Songs." Even A Perfect Circle's somewhat bland restructuring of Failure's "A Nurse Who Loved Me" is at least a noteworthy failed experiment. But an album made up almost entirely of covers is dangerous, especially since most would turn a nose to versions so consistently different than ... Read More
Rating: - brilliant
More than just a cover album. APC puts its soul into every cover and comes out with amazing results. Two of my favorite songs aren't even typical rock songs: Fiddle and the Drum and Annihilation.
