“Thirteenth Step, the sophomore album (2003 release) by A Perfect Circle binges and purges the boundaries of rock. Sweet melodic harmonies smothered in twisted guitar rifts, and untouchable vocals. An indefinable merging of style and sound. A Perfect Circle stands quite alone in their own new genre of rock.Shedding the skin of being considered just a ‘side project’ of one or more of the bands more recognizable members (the band consisting of members of Tool, Marilyn Manson, The Vandals and Smashing Pumpkins), A Perfect Circle triumphantly rises a step above the lofty heights their first album reached and emerge, seemingly effortlessly, as an undeniable power house all their own.” – Movement Magazine, 11/31/03
