Product description

Fourteen years after being cryogenically frozen as part of an experimental partnership between the Rock n’ Roll Hall of Fame and Dairy Queen, guitarist Billy Howerdel has been successfully reanimated. He has since reunited with his band A Perfect Circle, whose new album, Eat the Elephant, will be released on April 20th. Howerdel believes Eat the Elephant may well be A Perfect Circle’s finest work to date. “We hope the established rock critics at the major magazines and newspapers really embrace this album,” he said. “It’d be great to get a mention in SPIN or Blender, but let’s face it, when it comes to reaching fans — especially teenagers — nothing is more important than the opinions of middle-aged white men at our nation’s great newspapers. That happens, and this CD will be flying off the shelves at Tower Records and Sam Goody!”

The wait was worth it, but please don't make us wait that long for the next one.

Another amazing album from AFC with some instant classics like "So Long, and Thanks For All the Fish" and finally a studio version of "By and Down (the river)". The album opens with the hunting title track that perfectly sets the mood. Highly recommended for any AFC fan.

Lacks Imagination or Drive. A Poor Effort

Reviewed in Australia on 22 June 2018

Audio production values are very good as you'd expect, apart from that, this album has no redeeming qualities. It's essentially, a waste of money. The album itself would be nothing if not for the big names within the band. Eat the Elephant is not a good collection of songs. The album is aimless, and without a goal and doesn't present itself as powerful or different in any real form. Maynard tries a few different vocal styles and in that sense, he keeps things fresh. The music is rather unadventurous, pushes no new boundaries nor is it compelling emotionally or sonically. Very bland and average.
Best song? Delicious. Almost everything else here presents as lacking impact. This one is only compulsory for those Tool / Maynard fans who must insist he is a god. For anyone else, this will be relegated to the bargain bin in a short amount of time.

A welcome return.

A Perfect Circle for return and how. Oh how I've missed their peculiar brand of esoteric rock. This album does not disappoint. I was tentative with the with the singles, but but when listening to the album as a whole its defies expectations. As for the Douglas Adams inspired 'So Long And Thanks For All The Fish..'? Genius.

Brillant musicianship compromised by compression

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 23 August 2018

Another brilliant album from A Perfect Circle, and I really cannot fault the musical content.
However, much has been said regarding the recording quality, and I have to confess APC or more likely their recording company, have compromised the album with loudness and compression.
Now its nothing like as bad as some reviewers have claimed, and not a great deal worse than 13th Step, but there is a noticable lack of dynamic range, and it is LOUD!
This would easily have rated 5 stars but for the recording quality, and its time the companies stopped producing over compressed and over loud albums

Much quieter than I expected, but with repeated listening I'm appreciating it more and more. It's clever and deft as you would expect, but embraces the fact they're not so young any more, rather than looking like washed up embarrassments like some rock acts do...

No Mer de Noms......

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 3 August 2018

Verified Purchase

I was pretty disappointed tbh. Musically its very good but far too arty farty. Jame Maynard is, in my opinion one of the best rock singers in the world but he doesn't stand out on this album. Ive listened to it about 6 times thinking it would be a grower, which, to an extent it was a bit but its no Mer de Noms...... Eagerly awaiting the next offering from TOOL now....

A Near Perfect Album From a Near Perfect Band.

A near Perfect album from A Perfect Circle the only thing I could ask for is ..... More More More More but that would be being picky!! this album is better then anything produced in the last ten years or more, there is not a wasteful track on this album each having been well crafted Talk Talk Eat the Elephant, The Doomed, Etc Etc,
I must also say at this point that they are a Wonderful group to see Live as I had the pleasure of seeing them on the Thursday 14th June at the Brixton Academy (A Near Perfect Night ) and they are Back in December (I Can't wait for that) this Album you will listen to for Decades and Decades and you will keep going back to it!
