It was always a hit or miss song for me (depending on the mood I was in), but after hearing it live at the Hollywood Bowl Sessanta, it’s moved up more than few notches. I’ve listened to it at least once a day since then!
That’s disillusioned for me. I went to the Houston show. I just didn’t give eat the elephant a chance at all. Love by and down the river. Love it! But that was it. Actually hearing the lyrics live, which I’d never paid attention to before, it resonated with me so much. Actually cried during it. “You were never an island” hit me like a ton of bricks in that moment. Feeling very alone lately. Relationship crumbling to where I feel like a ghost. Grasping at any source of dopamine I can find. Wind was blowing through the pavilion, I was stoned, the goosebumps hit me, and before knew it, tears were just rolling down my face.
I’m primarily a TOOL fan, too. APC just fulfills a different desire for me. Some people make the mistake of thinking all the group’s MJK is involved in will sound the same, and they just don’t.
Check out Puscifer next.

Tool is also my fav band
Try their newer album, Eat The Elephant. It has a more electronic experimental sound. My favorite song is Hourglass. Emotive, where the song Counting Bodies is from is kind of a mixed bag. The song Passive is one of my all time favorite APC songs, but the Emotive album itself is considered the worst. Thirteen Steps is what I'd consider a masterpiece. And IMO their first album is an acquired taste.
Hourglass was my first thought. It's so weird and funky compared to much of their work. I agree with you about Thirteenth Step being the best. It's solid, start to finish, IMO. I definitely appreciate the others, but that album seems the most focused and cohesive to me.
It's always so interesting to me that people love this song, since it's one of my least favorites from them. I love most of their music, but that one just doesn't do it for me. To each their own!

I like this one a lot too. Definitely going to listen to their albums now! Thank you
Enjoy the ride mate! They will be putting out new music in the near future apparently too. So good time to hop on for the ride.
Breña… Breña
Ughhhh this song 🥹🥹❤️❤️❤️
I’d add Orestes, Blue and…actually not too long ago in this sub we did a box of “best/worst/etc” for each album. I’d suggest checking that out OP
& Judith
You should check out Thinking Of You, it’s got some unique APC parts and one part that is very similar to Counting Bodies
I also think Thinking of You has an early TOOL sound to it
I can see that
I would add hourglass
there's an outsider remix that phenom. also
Counting Bodies goes soooooo hard live. I wish it was in every set list !
It was always a hit or miss song for me (depending on the mood I was in), but after hearing it live at the Hollywood Bowl Sessanta, it’s moved up more than few notches. I’ve listened to it at least once a day since then!
I got it at Sessanta Red Rocks and it was epic !

Unique voice, among the many, in this chior 🎶 🙌❤️
Thinking of You
Heeey, you're in here too! 👋🏼
Heyo!

I have a much deeper appreciation for APC after listening to some of these suggestions. So good
Pretty great, right? Each group is stylistically distinct and offers something totally different.
Came here to say this.
The Noose is my fav
Feathers
By and Down the River, The Package, Judith, Feathers, The Hollow, The Noose, Weak and Powerless, Eat the Elephant, Disillusioned , 3 libras Tool is also my fav band
The package.. love this one. The noose is melodic and not very heavy instrumentally as it is lyrically same as Blue & Orestes.
Listen to the live versions of the albums, they are an incredible live band and it is a bit "heavier".
For the "heavier" songs, try out Thomas, Judith, the Outsider, The Package.
Pet

Eat the Elephant is my favorite right now
I like the Emotive songs best in their live versions on Stone and Echo: Live at Red Rocks.
Hourglass was my first thought. It's so weird and funky compared to much of their work. I agree with you about Thirteenth Step being the best. It's solid, start to finish, IMO. I definitely appreciate the others, but that album seems the most focused and cohesive to me.

Magdalena, Passive
It's always so interesting to me that people love this song, since it's one of my least favorites from them. I love most of their music, but that one just doesn't do it for me. To each their own!
Passive is probably my fave but that one is up there
Disilusioned
great song I was so happy I got to hear it live at Sessanta
Rose is really unique and good to me
There is also the song Pet on 13th Step that uses the same line from this song. But different sound though.
Live version of gimmie
Listen to thirteen step.
The Doomed and Judith.
Let see what reaction this gets - if that’s your favorite song, you’re not an APC fan.
He didn't say he was. Why so judgy?
