''Mer de Noms'' (French for ''"sea of names"'') is the debut album by American rock band A Perfect Circle. The album was released under Compact Disc format on May 23, 2000. It was certified platinum by the RIAA on October 31, 2000. The album entered the ''Billboard'' 200 at No. 4, making it the highest ever ''Billboard'' 200 debut for a rock band's first album. It sold over 188,000 copies in the first week, and stayed on the charts for 51 consecutive weeks.〔(Billboard.com )〕 The album peaked at No. 27 on the ''Billboard'' Top Pop Catalog Albums on October 4, 2003, three years after the album's release. ''Mer de Noms'' has since been released on vinyl record format.
==Music and lyrics==
Musically, the album features a sound that "returns the listeners to the daze of prog rock"〔 and "blurs between alternative rock and hard rock, with many slower tunes exhibiting an intense smolder rather than flash burn." Various instruments featured on the album include acoustic guitars, violins and xylophones.〔〔
Most of the album's lyrics were dedicated to various people that lead singer Maynard James Keenan knew. The track listing consists of various names such as "Judith", "Breña", "Rose", "Thomas", "Magdalena", "Orestes", and "Renholdër" (for musician Danny Lohner).
The symbols on the front cover of the album can be translated to "La Cascade des Prénoms," which translated to English means "the waterfall of first names".
