Editorial Reviews:

"A Perfect Circle is not a side project," proclaim the members of Perfect Circle. It's a caution worth heeding, since the most identifiable name in the band is that of vocalist Maynard James Keenan, lead singer of Tool. On the other hand, one wouldn't be much inclined to file this one under "side project" anyway. The musicians involved go to great lengths to create something distinctive, and if the uniformity of sound can be attributed to the fact that guitarist Billy Howerdel (whose previous songwriting credits include Tool, the Smashing Pumpkins, and David Bowie) is responsible for the lion's share of the music, well, the others aren't exactly marching in lockstep. Keenan's vocals here are quite different from anything heard from him before. Subtle, thoughtful, sober, they're a far cry from Keenan's work with Tool, which is what makes this album more than a side-project curiosity. Mer de Noms has a life all its own. --Genevieve Williams

5 out of 5 stars a perfect circle   June 17, 2008
Ok this is the beggining of my favorit band a perfect circle and thair debut album mer de noms this album was supposed to be a side project of tool but after a few years it became more then just a side project it now has a side project of its own a band called puscifer

A perfect circle,s sound is smooth and slow the words are easy to hear and perfect

I reccomend this to any one a must buy for any modern rock fan



5 out of 5 stars Better than TOOL   March 25, 2008
As a TOOL fan, I'm happy to say that this cd & all APC cd's (except Emotive) are better than TOOL. I have litterally worn out 3 of these cd's because it just doesn't get any better than this. I go 2-3 weeks without listening to anything else.
Hard, but softer than TOOL. Beautiful sounds. Brillant writing, vocals, guitar & drums.
If you like alternative music, this is a must have. 13 steps is a strong rival to this one too!



4 out of 5 stars Mer de Noms is good music   March 22, 2008
I've been listening to an undisclosed FM station on the east coast over the Internet and they give airplay to many bands that aren't played here in CowTown (because every danged radio station here in CowTown in owned by Clear Channel Communications ---- CCCP1, CCCP2 and CCCP3 are our radio stations, a joke for those of you from Cold War Soviet Union). Quite often I hear music that peaks the interest and "A Perfect Circle" is one such group. The sound is similar to "TooL", but with much better guitar licks, IMO. The song I heard on the Internet broadcast was...well I forgot what it was but it was on this alblum. After listening to the 30 second snips of each song hear, I downloaded all the MP3s of "Mer de Noms". I don't think you'll be disappointed.


5 out of 5 stars MJK at his best!   January 12, 2008
"The Hollow" gave me hope. This album saved me in a of ways. Very powerful music. Music with an agenda that is left for the listener to determine. Awesome. 5 BIG STARS


5 out of 5 stars A Perfect Circle... Perfect   October 25, 2007
