They're reuniting all the great peace songs of old. And Thirteenth Step is also quality. Those two albums have really grown on me. ps Can someone define alternative-suck?

Sure, their cover art is fleshy, but their sound is still pretty edgy (on mainstream pop-rock radio, that is). I found 'Thirteenth Step' to be a disappointment. Likewise with their covers album 'eMotive'. But at least 'eMotive' was politically conscious. Question: Is it possible to call any band dealing with political content a sellout, even if the music is generic, radio-friendly, derivative crap?

A Perfect Circle are just doing crap covers. Also, they've totally gone for the sex-sells thing with their cover art recently. Well, Kid A was actually cool, and was still originals.
