I love the CD. it's MUCH different then Mer de Noms. but if you didn't think that then you didn't hear the story behind MER. Billy Howedel wrote/composed most of the songs before APC was a group. then one day Maynard went in there and made them work. Billy even stated that maynard sang to songs he never thought fit vocals. So i think what 13th step is. is the band actually comming together to write the songs together. Which is some really dark and romantic material in Maynards. It is very reminescent of a tool album, but it doesn't have the same tool edge and obscureness. NONETHELESS...i havn't been in the mood to listen to anything else. (the nurse that loved me reminds me of that song at the end of opiate ... "i had a friend once he took some acid..." just a thought.)
