As many know A Perfect Circle is a side project of TOOL. It has more of a rock sound to it, with some dark elements still being used similar to TOOL.

This album is amazing, it starts out sounding dark and painful but once you've listened to the cd you realize it is simply a masterpiece. True, these are all cover songs except for track one; but they are done so perfectly you can't help but love it. This whole cd holds you in listening to every sound and word being used the entire album.
