Well, let's see, the last time I went to buy cds I went on a buying binge and got Soundgarden's "Badmotofinger" Guns N Roses "Greatest Hits" and A Perfect Circle "Mer De Norms"(is that right?)

I was expecting Badmotofinger to be great, some kind of work of art, but i was a bit disappointed, the music is so heavy and dreary its nearly impossible to listen to all the way through. The drumming is pretty good, the lyrics are good, but the singing is a bit over the top at times and the guitarist is repetitive, boring, predictable and relatively uninspired. The best tracks are "Rusty Cage" "Jesus Christ Pose" "Searching With My Good Eye Closed" and "Outshined"
Greatest Hits wasn't greatest hits, it was two or three songs off of every album, I really don't need to hear four tracks off of the Spaghetti Incident. I couldn't believe "Estranged" wasn't on there but its alright. Should have had more tracks off of Appetite For Destruction.
Mer De Norms, had some good songs like "Judith" and "Three Libras" but all in all, a pretty average album, no other song really grabbed my attention. James Maynard Keenan seemed to be holding every note a little too long and although it added to the angsty sound of "Three Libras" it really got tiresome. A Perfect Circle are one of those bands that are real hit and miss, they make some gems and they make some songs that really leave you scratching your head.
