goddamit, Griese!
Billy, every other member has other things to do while not working with APC, the contract is finished with eMOTIVe; is this end for APC?
No, I don’t think so.


But you are not sure you’re going to continue…
I’m not sure of anything in this life. By now we’re not going anywhere, but one day we will release another record.


With the same line-up?
Mmm… I don’t know. Maynard and I will be no doubt there, and I would say Josh too. I have to say that Paz Lenchantin has collaborated a lot in this record, so the line-up is… We will see what everybody is doing when it’s time to reunite again. It will be in some years though.


wow. Can't say I'm not extremely surprised.
Maynard being aboard "no doubt" is a shock to me, actually.

I assumed so, she did contribute a lot of piano and strings. Her presence is appreciated a lot, they work good together.

They have ALOT to make up for the trash that is emotive. Sorry guys, Im just being honest, its not up to par, and this is coming from a huge fan. The original track is even weak, passive is it?

Anyways, how did imotive turn out? Its a remix of thirtenth step right?

$50/hour, but no kissing on the lips and colors must be pre-separated

Eh, I agree, eMotive was extemely underwhealming compared to the GREAT previous two CDs. Alot of covers, a remix, and the original music wasn't all that hot, although the 'perfect enemy' song (I forget the actual title) was good.

Don't get me wrong I'd prefer a real album x 100,000,000...

However, the cover album isn't THAT bad. Paz does a great job on some songs, I like Howerdel's vocals, and I like the rearrangement of a handful of songs. My local radio station COMPLETELY bashed "Imagine" saying how it "drained the life of the original making it all depressing" and "it's the worst thing to come out of the studio this year." This rant went on for about a minute. It's fine if you don't like the song, I can totally understand it. But I don't like it when people have this attitude because a band did their own thing on a song. And for some reason I always get the vibe that people think John Lennon is too godly to be touched by a band like APC. It's BS. At least APC had the balls to do something they wanted unlike Three Days Grace, Simple Plan, Hoobastank and the countless other bands that get PRAISED by this station. Eat a dick Krock.

I thought the covers were decent, and appropriate to APC's style, but yeah, I'd of definately preferred some more original content.

yeah, emotive was better than i expected. not great or anything though. passive is a great song though.

also, you guys seem to forget emotive was made just to get out of their record contract. otherwise it would not have been released.
