In the landscape of progressive rock and alternative metal, few releases are as polarizing and atmospherically dense as A Perfect Circle’s third studio album, Emotive. Released in 2004 on election day, the album serves as a collection of covers and two original tracks, acting as a solemn, brooding critique of the political climate of the era.
