A Perfect Circle formed from Tool with front man Maynard James Keenan's voice the obvious clue however, I never quite fully enjoyed Tool. I liked Maynard James Keenan and thought he had an unusual yet bewitching voice, but I never fully understood what Tool were about. Their sound just didn't quite click. But I when I heard Mer De Noms, I suddenly realised that A Perfect Circle was for me. In fact, I really enjoy A Perfect Circle so much that I can now regard them as one of my all time favorites. Their music is quite removed from Tool and other Hard Rock bands. A Perfect Circle's music is very dark and atmoshpheric. Maynard further shows us what an incredible voice he has as he sings the haunting lyrics. The first single "Judith", and probably the best on the album, is simply awe inspiring. Billy Howerdel is a great guitarist and composer, Josh Freese is a very good drummer, and Paz Lenchantin and Troy Van Leeuwen are also talented musicians.
