I was kind of blown away by the mellowness of this album, where as Mer De Noms was romantic, angsty and dramatic, Thirteeth Step gives off a quieter, happier tune. It was almost like APC was able to go into the studio and come out mostly reinvented.
In my opinion the best tracks on the album are Weak and Powerless, The Noose, A Nurse Who Loved Me, Pet, and The Outsider. Some tracks come off to me as just filler...crime and lullaby being two of them.
If you are any kind of APC fan and you're not loving this album already, I'm ready to guarantee you'll be addicted by the third time through.
And on a negative note, if you live in Canada or parts of Europe, this CD also has copyright protection. It is not playable in MP3 diskplayers, computers, and some home stereos. Good job APC.
