When all are one and one is all
To be a rock and not to roll.
And she's buying a stairway to heaven

I don't really prefer one to the other, it depends on what kind of mood I'm in. I love both.

And to an above poster, yes, 3 Libras is an exellent song to chill to.

I liked APC when they first came out, but now I'm not sure what to think. Their new stuff hasn't really hit it with me. And the cover of When the levee breaks was weak...

As was imagine... I don't like bands that take classic songs and basically just sing them in their style, the original songs begin to lose their magic...

I preffered APC's version by far.
And yes, eMOTIVe was a big let down.

the only thing i liked was the album cover, but every tool/apc album cover is freakin awesome. As is any Floyd cover, but now they have the technology to make really cool holograms and such. And lennons version strikes it big with me, APC just put their dark, not so positive twist on the song and I didn't like it. Just my opinion, but it was meant to be a song of hope, more than a song of negativity, but then again none of tool or APCs songs sound positive, so I shouldn't have expected much different...

Well, at 1st I wasn't really much into A Perfect Circle at all and it pissed me off in many ways!!! I knew that Tool wouldn't be the main focus at that time and, therefore, A Perfect Circle would lead us to waiting longer for a new Tool album, if it's ever going to be done!!!I've heard some of the circles stuff and thought it was pretty cool and interesting, but I still believe that tool was and is a much more unique band!!! I don't know if I'd call them a "soft version of tool" like you did...
...I'd probally just call them a basic rock band with a few good tunes.

And yes, they are very different from other bands, as well as each other!!!Tool has Danny Carey for one and, with me being an accomplished drummer, I can see that he is a very talented and unique artist!!!That's pretty much the main part that circle's missing when trying to compare them with tool...
...Danny Carey is the drummer that makes tool truly sound like tool and nobody could ever replace his unique style in that band!!! He really is the main difference for the most part...
...and that's what makes tool better I.M.O. besides the fact that tool has been around longer.I truly respect his style and would love to see a new tool album in the future, cheers to that!!!

i think thats completely right.. the sound is so much different.. but i'm glad of that.. because i like both bands.. i like a perfect circle more.. not sure why..but i get into moods to listen to both.. anyways but i think that a perfect circle isn't half as good as tool because of the fact danny carey he is gold!
