It was released to coincide with US Presidential election. The album contains 10 political covers, and 2 'original' songs which are also covers. "Passive" is a cover/remake of "Vacant" by the ex-supergroup Tapeworm and "Counting Bodies Like Sheep To The Rhythm of the War Drums" is also a follow up of the song "Pet" released by A Perfect Circle in 2003 on the album Thirteenth Step. It debuted on the Billboard Top 200 Albums chart at #2, behind the various artist compilation, Now 17. It was certified Gold by the RIAA on 9 December 2004. The album cover shows Los Angeles in an Armageddon-like state.

[edit] Trivia

• "Counting Bodies Like Sheep to the Rhythm of the War Drums" was originally perceived to be a remix of the song "Pet" from Thirteenth Step. Maynard James Keenan spoke about this song on aMOTION and insists that it is not a remix, but rather a second part of "Pet".

• The track "Passive" is a remake of "Vacant", a song created by Keenan, Lohner, Trent Reznor, et al. for the Tapeworm project which never saw the light of day.

• "Passive" was also featured in the film Constantine, starring Keanu Reeves. The video includes clips from the film.

• After the release of this album, A Perfect Circle went on what they called a "hiatus" as frontman Maynard James Keenan decided to continue with his former band Tool. Although many believed that A Perfect Circle was actually breaking up for good, making it likely that eMOTIVe would be their final album.
