sidewinder Posted November 16, 2009 Share Posted November 16, 2009 I've been a Tool fan since around 93 and got into APC when they first came about too, but not as much as Tool. I felt their sound was a bit more mainstream and polished. They are good though, they just don't stand apart from their followers as much as Tool does, IMO. It's been quite a while since I've played an APC album but I've been meaning to. I got their last album (Thirteenth Step, I haven't heard the covers & remixes albums) on release day but truthfully, I don't think I've listened to it more than 4 times. Not because it wasn't good, just that I found other things more interesting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest theSun Posted November 16, 2009 Share Posted November 16, 2009 apc are pretty good. i like them for the most part, it's just too mainstream for it to be really top notch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest epsy Posted November 17, 2009 Share Posted November 17, 2009 Comparing APC to Tool is kinda ignorant. Two totally different bands with the same singer. It's like comparing Mr. Bungle to Faith no More. Different animals all together. If Billy Howardel had found a female singer for APC like he was before Maynard offered his services, ppl wouldn't even know him as "tool's guitar tech's band" APC make amazing music. Silly to write em off as too polished or mainstream. It is what it is. First two albums are essential listening for anybody. Great well written songs. Wonderful production. etc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
modey Posted November 17, 2009 Share Posted November 17, 2009 first apc album was amazing, but i've probably overplayed it. second album had some really freakin' excellent tracks but for some reason i didn't listen to it as much. and i'm a bit sick of tool, i mean they're pretty good and all, just ever since i discovered post-metal stuff like isis i can't really listen to them anymore. also they ripped king crimson off big time.

Guest Z_B_Z Posted November 17, 2009 Share Posted November 17, 2009 i think its a bit of a stretch to say tool ripped off king crimson. heavily influenced by, sure... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sidewinder Posted November 17, 2009 Share Posted November 17, 2009 i think its a bit of a stretch to say tool ripped off king crimson. heavily influenced by, sure... I agree. Robert Fripp even said, after touring with Tool, that his own work following the tour was influenced by Tool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sidewinder Posted November 17, 2009 Share Posted November 17, 2009 thrak is pretty bad but larks is a masterpiece. Agreed once again. Even though Larks has some irritating moments of nothingness. At least the rest is good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
