a perfect circle or tool?

Tool has always been a concrete must in my music library. Their impact is incomparible with other bands, and their lasting qualities far surpass those of recent bands trying to do what only they can do. They will always be in my heart, but I have grown exceedingly fond of A Perfect Circle. Not only because of a greater gentleness in comparison, but because this gentleness does not drain the intensity of the lyrics and the power of the intent. I feel a different facet of Maynard come through in A Perfect Circle, the part of him that won't die. I appreciate the band's progression and distinct sound.

Mer De Noms is really good, almost more than Tool albums. But in the complex, I prefer Tool.

i love both APC and Tool. i don't have a favorite of the two. It all depends on my mood at the time.
Mayard has an amazing voice. He really, really does. It's so soothing and beautiful.

I have to go with Tool as well. A Perfect Circle will always be considered a side project for me, and I don't even like it much to start with, I think they have some pretty lousy songs mixed with average songs. Tool is vastly superior in every single aspect.

Tool is for males.
APC is for females.
I like em' both but Tool will always be my favorite of the two. APC has their spot in my catalogue though, great for certain situations.

So far I'd say APC is my favorite band, mostly because I had a chance to see them live and hearing Maynard's voice life made me realize how much of a great singer he can be. It was just as If I was listening to the album, no problems whatsoever during the performance and the atmosphere sent shivers down my spine. It might also sound stupid I know but when he sang the line "you don't see me, you don't see me at all", I looked to thr left and there was standing a guy who looked like the one who first introduced me to APC and whom I haven't seen for ages. It was so weird yet incredible, because he told me those words once, because he said he loved me but I didn't love him back. Funny how life works.

Hmm.. a difficult question, i say.. I've always loved tool for their music and style, but lately i've begun to like a perfect circle more and more because their music is profound and soothing, and not that heavy. I like both of these bands to an equal degree, but I'd say that my favourite song of the lot is '3 Libras' by A Perfect Circle:)

Tool is, to me, a different level than APC. You could say that APC is a sort of mellow version of Tool.. and the entity of the bands are still very different. If I were to judge both bands on profoundness and mystery, I would go for Tool.. but then again a song as Magdalena can drive me crazy..;)

Are you joking..APC arent even the shadow of Tool. I also like them but Tool are just so much more amazing as a band.

ehh..kind of a hard question..not really different music in a way...anyway there's the noose, pet, the package, blue, and so much more in a perfect circle, and the pot, aenima, 46 and 2, undertow, and so much more for tool..since tool is older, probably i'd pick them but nevertheless i like them both a lot
