It sounds true to their own, which rules. Their last CD, Mer de Noms is pretty fucking incredible, and they’ve picked up Twiggy from Marilyn Manson and somebody from the Smashing Pumpkins, so this upcoming CD may very well put the last one to shame.

HA! You didn’t count ME to be on this, DID YOU BITCH!?!?!!?!?!?
Anyway… that song sounds promising. Yeah, Mer De Noms was an AWESOME album. One of my favorite albums, actually. Its beautiful… passive at some moments aggressive at others… all of that stuff.
I figured that APC was just going to be a side project… I’m happy I’m wrong.
APC is alright… haven’t really heard to much from them though. I like Tool though, and I like what I’ve heard by APC, so I’m guessing they’re pretty cool.
Mer de Noms had good music. The thing is, since then their violinist/bassist left the band (she’s in Billy Corgan’s new band now), and I thought that her violin and bass added a lot to the music, so I’m somewhat ambivalent about what it’s going to sound like now.

He decided to make a slightly above average but by no means extrodinary album (Mary Star of the Sea) with Zwan. I don’t think they are going to make another album, mainly because Corgan is such a control freak.
EDIT: And I disagree with you slightly, SK. I would say that Maynard’s beautiful vocals were just as or perhaps even more important than the bass player (although the bass was damned good). We’ll see how good/average/bad/whatever it is, though.
A lot of people swoon over Maynard’s voice, which is their perfectly legitimate decision, but I honestly don’t think it’s anything special, the more so since the stuff he sings about always strikes me as superficially arty. Like “The Hollow,” for instance. Okay, dude, so you want to have sex with chicks. That’s great, except it really isn’t that earth-shattering a problem for anyone over the age of 17. Either have sex with them, which will be easy since you’re a rich rock star and you already do it all the time, or don’t. It’s that simple.
I agree, Paz is just going to waste in Zwan. She needs to go back to APC, because she did extrodinary work with Maynard. However, like I mentioned, with the addition of the Smashing Pumpkins guy and Twiggy, the band should be pretty snazzy regardless. And Maynards voice does kick ass.
