eMOTIVe Shall Rock Ass
Courtesy of Billboard.com and Blabbermouth:
Here is the "eMOTIVe" track list:
"Annihilation" (Crucifix)
"Imagine" (John Lennon)
"(What's So Funny 'Bout) Peace Love and Understanding" (Elvis Costello)
"Counting Bodies Like Sheep to the Rhythm of the War Drums"
"What's Going On" (Marvin Gaye)
"When the Levee Breaks" (Memphis Minnie, Led Zeppelin)
"Freedom of Choice" (Devo)
"People Are People" (Depeche Mode)
"Passive"
"Gimmie Gimmie Gimmie" (Black Flag)
"Let's Have a War" (Fear)
"Fiddle and the Drum" (Joni Mitchell)
In the hands of any other band, this tracklisting would be a recipe for disaster. In the hands of Josh Freese and Maynard James Keenan, however, this could be one of the best releases of the year. They're talented, they're inventive, and Maynard has one of the best (if not THE best) voice in rock today. I'm definitely gonna be buying this on the first day of release, and, in all honesty, I think they would have to go out of their way to truly fuck this up (though I'm not too confident on the Marvin Gaye cover).
Rock on, motherfuckers.
