A Perfect Circle
The 13th Step... buy this record.
"It is not the literal past that rules us, save, possibly, in a biological sense. It is images of the past.

It tests its sense of identity, of regress or new achievement against that past.”

Yep, Iha is part of APC now, as is Twiggy from Marilyn Manson. The track on the radio now is Weak and Powerless. Some of the better tracks off the album, though, are The Nurse Who Saved Me, The Noose, The Package, and The Outsider (strangely, all the songs beginning with "The")

Yeah, that's how I felt at first, but the more I listen to it, the more I feel that APC is not Tool (any Tool fan looking for Tool in APC is bound to be disappointed) and is an amazing band in its own right.
And The 13th Step is much more depressing and melodious than Mer de Noms.

Religious implications aside this song busts ass (and NO Autumn it's Not Tool! 
)

You're such an inspiration for the ways
That I'll never ever choose to be
Oh so many ways for me to show you
How the savior has abandoned you
F*ck your God
Your Lord and your Christ
He did this
Took all you had and
Left you this way
Still you pray, you never stray
Never taste of the fruit
You never thought to question why
It's not like you killed someone
It's not like you drove a hateful spear into his side
Praise the one who left you
Broken down and paralyzed
He did it all for you
He did it all for you
Oh so many many ways for me to show you
How your dogma has abandoned you
Pray to your Christ, to your god
Never taste of the fruit
Never stray, never break
Never---choke on a lie
Even though he's the one who did this to you
You never thought to question why
Not like you killed someone
It's Not like you drove a spiteful spear into his side
Talk to Jesus Christ
As if he knows the reasons why
He did it all for you
Did it all for you
He did it all for you

You picked up Opiate to start with? Right on. You'll be amazed at how much they change from that to Lateralus.
Tool and APC share the same vocalist, Maynard Keenan.

I've had it on high rotation 
Hourglass stands out so far - I'm loving it! It has a slightly unusual start but then the beat kicks in.
