A Thirteenth Step is the second album by A Perfect Circle and in my opinion the best. The album starts with my favourite song on the album “The Package”. The song starts of quiet with thought provoking lyrics and slowly crescendos into full blown drums, voice and guitar. Other highlights include the third song “The Noose” a peaceful song with less than peaceful lyrics. “A Stranger” the sixth song beautifully shows of Maynard's unique voice. The next song on the album “The Outsider” has amazing drums and catchy guitar and dark, quiet singing in the verses and loud, strong singing in the chorus. “Pet” the tenth song is similar to APC's earlier work in Mer De Noms. Overall the album is amazing and I wold recommend it to anyone who like A Perfect Circle, Deftones, Puscifer, Staind, Incubus, Nine Inch Nails, Tool, Primus and Ashes Divide.
