About

Maynard James Keenan’s rock supergroup has seriously grown up in the 14 years since their last album. The Tool frontman’s band is still angry—they’ve just found new, different ways to express it. The gargantuan riffs of APC’s past now make room for strings, piano, and post-rock builds. <i>Eat the Elephant</i> is thoughtful and brooding, but still heavy as ever (tracks like “TalkTalk” would fit right in on <i>Thirteenth Step</i>). Harps and horns make slow-burning “The Contrarian” frighteningly ominous, and “So Long, and Thanks for All the Fish” sounds so uplifting it’s unsettling—but its lyrics reveal a sardonic ode to modern life, while lamenting the loss of David Bowie and other legends.

Album notes

Discogs page for these notes (opens in a new tab)

Notes from the original pressing. Later editions may differ.

Track C3, DLB, is listed on hype sticker and as track 9 both side C and D labels. It does actually play on both sides, but on side D, it is more of an intro into "Hourglass" and has no banding separating it from the next track.
The final track on Side D (“Get The Lead Out”) is 40 seconds shorter than the version on CD and digital, however it ends on a locked groove which repeats its last few seconds.
Gatefold cover, black vinyl being housed in a classic black paper inner sleeve with rounded corners
Includes download card and insert containing credits and photograph.
On labels A, C, front and back covers:
First catalog number on spine, second on covers + labels A & C
