    'Ello all. Just pooling for recommendations based on the musical style and tone of this, A Perfect Circle's cover of Imagine:


    I hate most of this album (it's a cover album, and they have varying success in their choices) but I love this song's steady, walking-pace chords and heavy drums combined with more melodic instruments like strings and piano, and the ominous tone.

    Any thoughts?

    Only thing I can think of is Porcupine Tree's In absentia album

    you would love earlier a perfect circles work, also tool, smashing pumpkins, isis, mesuggah and of course porcupine tree. I might as well add in an opeth recommendation, and i would also check out quantic as well.

    Opeth are a bit of a strange suggestion, unless you mean something like Damnation.

    Oh, and check out Animals by Pink Floyd.

    That is awesome. Totally irrelevant, but awesome :D

    I've been meaning to check out Pink Floyd's 'Animals' for a while, too, shall do.

    I've heard APC's earlier stuff, too. It is good - there's just not enough of it. They were too short-lived. I'll work my way through these recommendations (with the possible exception of Opeth - aren't they, like, really heavy metal?) Thanks everyone :thumb:

    edit - Oversize sounds spot on, too.
