A Perfect Circle- Freedom Of Choice

[Reticuli]

what an awful mix/master. it's compressed to shit. you can even hear the warbling on the dense portions. It's got like 2-3dB dynamic range.

[enlightenedajna]

The whole album is one big cover, but that doesn't matter, what matters is the message they are trying to send. Stop argueing about which version is better because you are missing the point entirely.

[Spotfarm666]

@enlightenedajna not the WHOLE album...

[enlightenedajna]

@Spotfarm666 What's not a cover?

[brittanyismoney]

@enlightenedajna Passive and Counting Bodies Like Sheep to the Rhythm of the War Drums are original APC songs, the rest are covers.

[enlightenedajna]

@brittanyismoney Passive is a cover of Tapeworm. And Counting Bodies is a remix of Pet. So yeah the whole album is a cover.

[brittanyismoney]

@enlightenedajna Hmm, I guess you are right!

[BlondCutiie94]

Wow *-*

This track is so awesome!

Nice Cover :)

APC RULES! <3

[tzDub92]

this is a different side of maynard

[Dolfidus26]

@tzDub92 dude Billy does the vocals on this song (the guy who also does the guitars)

didn't you hear that this isn't maynard.

[000Fraudulin000]

Doesn't hold a candle to the Fu Manchu cover.

[AzraelBlade1]

You all suck...enough said

[bimmerboy108]

DEVO>APC>Fu Manchu

[xenotron1138]

@ Dirtfoot..... you must be the "soccer kid" ... that's why U don't get it. O.O

[dirtfoot]

soccer dad rock.

[MasterionX]

@dirtfoot Hilarious. One song from A perfect circle is probably smarter than you´ll ever be

[NateFroClassic]

"Freedom from choice..." Wait what?

[HelloInterloper]

Aww come on, stop bashing A Perfect Circle. They did a cover of DEVO because it was a fucking AWESOME song. They liked it, so they did a cover. Is that so freaking wrong? They didn't do it to see "which version is better" or shit like that.

Bands cover each other's song sometimes... deal with it, and stop whining.

[troutisyourmaster666]

@HelloInterloper I think people are dissing APC because this entire album was covers except for two tracks.

[nexusparanoia]

@HelloInterloper Most people 'bash' the song because they drastically changed the lyrics.

[lickalottapuss5]

hey fuck all of you...this song rocks...one of the best on the album....plus devo rocked it...

[F50Italia]

Anyone know where I can get a instrumental version of this ?

[AnRTPgA]

@F50Italia

why would you remove maynards wonderful voice?

[troutisyourmaster666]

@AnRTPgA Billy Howerdel is singing on this song, Maynard provides back-up vocals.

[miecow]

for all the confused .. its an all covers anti war cd,, mjk and billy howerdell do all the vocals.. it wasnt for money,, it was something they decided to do.. that simple

[GrevadosAsCid]

"Hey guys, how can we bastardize this revolutionary, ahead-of-its-time song by a band that changed the musical world forever?"

"Hey, I know! How about horrible vocals and wretched generic chugging guitars?"

"BRILLIANT! Let us celebrate in our swimming pool full of money!"

[ijackofftoanime]

@GrevadosAsCid Amen!

They even dumbed down the lyrics........assholes

[MCLOVIN50]

@GrevadosAsCid That makes no sense you dipshit...APC aren't in it for the money....otherwise they would be mainstream.

This may not be one of the good songs on eMOTIVE, but check out when the levee breaks, what's going on and peace love and understanding...if you can't appreciate this band than you are CLEARLY tone deaf...or borderline retarded. Maybe both?

Get outta hear TROLLLLL

[MCLOVIN50]

@MCLOVIN50 Here*

[canuckz]

@GrevadosAsCid You do realize they have to pay the original band royalty's right?

[deathmetaldouglas69]

@seethergrl My initial comment was to another Fu Manchu fan. You left a stupid EPIC FAIL comment and telling me "off base" I am yet you did not explain my "off baseness" and I've called you out on it. You obviously know nothing about Fu Manchu and revel in your ignorance. I know about A Perfect Circle. I can argue that every single song on "King Of The Road" by Fu Manchu blows away any and all of A Perfect Circle's weak ass shit in comparison.

[youknowwhoyouare8]

DEVO's version is way better. If you disagree, then get your head out of Maynards ass bitch.

[deathmetaldouglas69]

@seethergrl If you bothered to listen to Fu Manchu's version you would know the truth. Perfect Circle were an OK group but FM were/are much superior. Not that longevity is always a barometer but Fu Manchu's recording career started in like 1990 and after over 15 albums is still going strong. How long did A Perfect Circle last and how many albums did they put out? Supergroup or not they were not all that.

[TattooedHoodlum]

I like Fu Manchu's cover of this song better.

[deathmetaldouglas69]

@TattooedHoodlum Fu Manchu got there first in 1999 and these guys wish their version was as good. But then again its common knowledge that Fu Manchu rule and Perfect Circle don't.

[clarigrl4]

I saw somewhere that this was on old Devo song (the group that sand "Whip It"), but APC did it way better.

[MacMan282]

@clarigrl4 haha, i have a DEVO album, vinyl man. Oldschool shit.

[gear108head]

Heey... just like that i got that feeling i would need some Fu Manchu. I wonder why..?

[kingquaps]

This version takes the gravity out of the song. I guess people do need things spelling out for them sometimes though...

[GangstaFarva]

@kingquaps Yeah, like now cause that didn't make any fucking sense

[kingquaps]

@GangstaFarva what doesn't?

[SaintDurham]

Psychotica's cover of this is better

[kaytothei]

Blasphemy

[Diongham]

here here *clap*

[UnholyGeorgagus]

*Shun*!

[ScheissLeben]

LOL AWESOME DEVO COVER

[CorrosiveTouch]

Love this song, Love Maynard's voice. Love this band! Thanks for the post.

[nanasbuschparty]

Actually, i believe that's billy howerdel singing. ;)

[CorrosiveTouch]

Really? It sounds kinda like Maynard... Ever heard their song called So Frustrated? That one sounds a lot like Creed.

[nanasbuschparty]

No, it's howerdel, look in the liner notes. also....i think you need to quit looking to limewire for your downloads..lol..It probably is creed....or any other band of that late 90's era....i highly recommend grabbing your albums off of torrent ;)

[ShadowGod56]

i highly recommend buying them

[rootbeer1000]

@ShadowGod56

Don't you mean you recommend illegaly downloading them?

[rushpython100]

@nanasbuschparty it sure sounds like maynard to me.

[MCLOVIN50]

@rushpython100 LOL that's Billy Howerdel..
