Well I don't think they belong. They had one good album (Mer de Noms) that had a small, mild progressiveness to it. Their second album was just...immature and mimicking of that other group that isn't on here and probably shouldn't be: Nine Inch Nails. Then they did that awful cover album.

No. Not prog related or crossover material. Despite their artistic intentions.

Dim, I couldn't agree more.
 
Whilst I am not certain whether they should be added to the archives their first two albums was some of the finest music I have ever heard. Enough that I travelled half the UK to see them live (twice!)
 
Whilst I respect your opinion BroSpence they are nothing like Nine Inch Nails; industrial they are certainly not.

I reviewed one of APC's albums for Amazon, strongly suggesting it to be modern progressive - ended up with the most negative votes..........At least their last album Emotive, revealed far more imagination with its reinterpetation of others' tunes, than shown by many modern prog bands.
The best eclectic music on the Web,8-11pm BST/GMT THURS.

I would sadly go for the last option
They fail to impress me every time and don't hear much innovation...

Musically I say no, but...


hate to be a prick here, and I'm not sure if it's already been brought up - but shouldn't they have a spot since it's a Maynard James Keenan side project? Surely that makes them "related"

Not necesarilly, it has to be musical related also, if not, check Phil Collins.

Haven't voted yet.  I need to go downstairs and rummage through my son's CDs and give these another listen.  He was/is a big fan of Tool (my fault) and therefore of Perfect Circle.  I just haven't heard them enough to know one way or another.
 
Interesting aside:  son went to a concert in Vancouver BC to see them.  Among other bands on the stage that day were At The Drive In (prior to the MV spinoff).  I would guess that must have been a pretty decent concert.
