Emotive (typeset as eMOTIVe on the album) is the third album by American alternative rock band A Perfect Circle. It was released on November 1, 2004 (although in the United States on the following day). It was released to coincide with the 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-group 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 December 9, 2004.

Song information
- "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," even though they have the same lyrics. An animated music video for this song was seen on the band's website.
- "Passive" is a remake of "Vacant," a song created by Keenan, Danny Lohner, Trent Reznor, and others for the defunct Tapeworm project.
