Passive

eMOTIVe, the latest album from A PERFECT CIRCLE with Maynard James Keenan of Tool and James Iha of Smashing Pumpkins (or what it used to be), features cover songs that revolves around Peace and War, basically preferring the former.
This was inspired by and was released during (or was it after) the elections in the US. No wonder, huh? Songs like John Lennon's Imagine, Elvis Costello's Peace Love and Understanding, Marvin Gaye's What's Goin' On, and Led Zeppelin's When The Levee Breaks were transformed as if it were the band's own compositions.

There are two tracks in the album though that are original compositions by the band.
'Counting Bodies Like Sheep to the Rhythm of the War Drums' and 'Passive'.
Now, listening to the CD as a whole, PASSIVE is a stand-out among the other songs.
Definitely defining A Perfect Circle as who they are even in the beginning.

What's better?
CONSTANTINE, the new movie starring Keanu Reeves and Rachel Weisz, features Passive.
