"Of course, record companies always have their little clause in their contract, about their right to release a greatest hits record. I think that can be kind of weird sometimes, when you see "the greatest hits," no, no – "the greatest greatest hits." Releases by a record label that the band had nothing to do with, and there's several versions of the same thing, over and over again. That's kind of why we did the DVD and the box set." ~ MJK
I love A Perfect Circle. I hope they come out with a new album!
One of the coolest reveals ever ❤
That was a sweet ass video! I love the CGI & the fact that it pays homage to all of their prior albums.
Record labels often release greatest hits whenever they want as part of their record deal and this is exactly one of those instances.. The only reason the band would be endorsing it is at serves as the debut studio release of "By and Down". Why does everyone have to complain about everything? Make your own music if there isn't already enough out there for you to listen to..
watched this half asleep this morning with the biggest smile on my face..
Have you read up on what's in the package? There's loads of extra stuff, live albums etc. in there. Definitely a warranted release.
Wow this really needed a trailer.. 3 minutes of work , congrats guys
By and Down sounds awesome. They need to put an album of new material soon.
it's a best of album with one "new" song since they performed By and Down live for like the last two years this is just the studio version
Ironic how this actually has better animation than most things today, big productions and small productions.
That's kind of why we did the DVD and the box set. If you're going to release a greatest hits, we should also offer something that's not just the old recordings, rearranged. But on that greatest hits, there's going to be the studio version of 'By And Down', which is the new track that we've been working on, that we never quite got around to recording."
APC's aren't actually the one's releasing this, it's the record company. Maynard didn't want to release it, but they had to because of contract obligations with the record company. They added the new song "By and Down"and the live songs in the deluxe edition to make up for it, and same thing with the live album/DVD they're releasing.
I find this video pretty cool. Keep doing what you do APC some of us find your work brilliant! The rest obviously don't matter!
damn i can't wait to hear by and down
Oh? how nice :)
You can thank the record company for that one. There is an interview with Rolling Stone stating as much. "Of course, record companies always have their little clause in their contract, about their right to release a greatest hits record."
By And Down llega con todo!
I fucking love this band!!!
