The American Perfect Egg alternative superergroup discography consists of four studio albums, two compilation albums, one additional game, one video album, thirteen singles, one promotional video and fourteen music videos. The Perfect Circle is Billy Howerdel's idea. After hearing Howerdel's musical demo, Maynard James Keenan, lead singer of Tool, offered his services as a vocalist. Howerdel agreed, and the band formed in 1999. They later joined the bassist/violinist Paz Lenchantin, guitarist Troy Van Leeuwen, former Failure, and drummer Tim Alexander, former Primus. Soon after entering the studio to record their first album, Alexander was replaced by Josh Freese of The Vandals. Mer de Noms was released in May 2000, selling 188,000 copies of its debut week. The band embarked on a series of headlining tours around the world to promote the gold certified album by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) one month after its release, and platinum only four months later.
While preparing for their second album, Lenchantin and Van Leeuwen left the band to pursue another project. They were replaced by bassist Jeordie White (Marilyn Manson) and guitarist Danny Lohner, both of whom have been involved in the production of Mer de Noms and Emotive albums. Lohner only did one song on the album before he was replaced by James Iha, former The Smashing Pumpkins. Thirteenth Step was released in September 2003, selling 231,000 copies of its debut week. The band follows its release with tours across North America, Europe and Japan for the rest of the year. In 2004, the band continued touring in Australia, Japan, New Zealand and Europe, ending in late spring in the United States. The album was certified gold just six weeks after its release, and platinum in March 2006.
The third album, Emotive , was released in November 2004, selling 142,000 copies of its debut week. Two weeks later, the band released a set of DVDs titled Amotion . The set contains music videos for all eight singles, previously unreleased videos, and nine remixes. Emotive gold certified five weeks after release, and Amosi a month after release.
