A Perfect Circle - Mer de Noms @FLAC

Tool vocalist Maynard James Keenan offers up something to fill the collective void of fans eagerly awaiting more Tool. Keenan teamed with Tool guitar tech and A Perfect Circle guitarist/composer Billy Howerdel for Mer de Noms which is both a band effort and an engaging hard rock album, recorded while Tool renegotiated with their label and other band members took a break. But don't be fooled; A Perfect Circle is more than a one-off side project. The band isn't nearly as brutal as Tool; the musical textures are instead spacious and melodic. Keenan maintains his brooding, emotionally charged vocal style and his knack for conjuring bleak imagery.
