A Perfect Circle’s “By and Down” is Pretty Meh

Spin has debuted “By and Down,” the obligatory new song which will appear on A Perfect Circle’s forthcoming, wholly ridiculous/unnecessary greatest hits collection, Three Sixty (Get it? Like a circle!). And while APC have never exactly been Exodus or anything, what they lack in speed and volume they usually make up for with atmosphere and melody.

Alas, such is not the case with “By and Down.” The song is basically hookless, so — pardon the pun — there’s nothing to latch on to. It just kinda goes about its business for six minutes and then ends. Between this and Ashes Divide, I’m inclined to think that Billy Howerdel just doesn’t have any really good songs left in him.
