A Perfect Circle's - Eat the Elephant
A Perfect Circle’s Eat the Elephant review
A Perfect Circle has awoken 14 years since their last album with Eat the Elephant and we are sure glad they did.
The Album is a bit mellower than their previous but not a mellow album. Maynard James Keenan (Tool) vocals are outstanding and front half of this album is about as good as anything I have heard all year.
I really like the direction they took with more piano and electronica. This is for fans of Galahad and Tool for sure. I think that anyone that likes albums as heavy as I rated this will like this album. Below are my two favorite tracks for you to request.
