Free Music Notes for Mer De Noms

Free Music Review: Music in its purest form and as it should be!
Hit: 5 Stars

01. The Hollow - 5/5

Musically: I love how the timing is in 3/4 but it's confusing because at the same time it tricks you in thinking it's still in 4/4 in the way it sounds. The chorus is refreshing and the bridge gives me goosebumps!

Lyrics: The lyrics, written by Maynard of course, are as always thought provoking. The lyrics to every one of these songs are so multi-dimensional and can mean different things to different people. To me, it means that people shouldn't try to fill the hollow of their lives with lust. And of course, it's sung beautifully like in every song on this amazing CD.

02. Magdalena - 5/5

Musically: This song stars off with a slow, dragging feeling like you're in a daze and the verses are moaned by Maynard in such a way, it feels almost haunting. It then progresses to an almost vicious sounding love proclamation. What one of the cool things about APC is that they have instrumental solos in almost every song. The one in this one is just as hypnotizing and trancelike as the rest.

Lyrics: What this song means TO ME (this is how I interpret it, others may get something different out of it) is to be careful in love. This song seems like it?s from the perspective of a man deeply in love with a woman but so much it's almost maniacal. Almost blind. He's so overwhelmed by her he would do anything she asked.

03. Rose - 4/5

Musically: Very mystic and enchanting. The way it evolves is cool. From mystic to aggressive and back again. I also love the violin solo at the end, which I assume is played by Paz. The reason I give it only 4 out of 5 is because it?s very different from the other songs and takes getting used to. It's still a great song; it just doesn't get listened to as many times as the others do.

Lyrics: This one is hard to interpret. I guess to me, it would mean to control your anger and don't be careless.

04. Judith - 5/5

Musically: This one is pretty harder than the rest and it gets stuck in your head. No wonder it was the first single. This song is a mixture of singing and screaming from Maynard blended together perfectly. The video was cool too. Just love Paz's high-heels and the way she ties up her hair. This song will be one that will never get old.

Lyrics: I am a Christian and I believe that Jesus is the savior and is the only way to Heaven. I urge you who feel the way that the lyrics suggest about Christianity to stop and find out more about it. The Lord is the most important thing. Period. The lyrics in this song are evilish and is an attack on Christianity. I have heard APC fans discussing this and one of them said that Maynard might be using this song as a metaphor to describe a relationship with a friend named Judith. That's a possibility but I don't think anyone knows for sure except for Maynard and A Perfect Circle. I know Maynard said that there is a real person that goes by the name of Judith that this song is about. If Maynard feels this way about Christianity or if any listeners to this song do, I pray that God may work in your life and reach out to you. So keep all this in mind while listening to this great sounding song.
