I don't ask for much, do I?

Basically, I'm unwell at the moment (all good, getting better) and it's totally shot my attention span so I can't concentrate enough to read or watch TV.

What I can do, thank goodness, is listen to music. I've just been sat in bed discovering new albums, and I am really enjoying things along the lines of the post title.

I'm talking dark, somber tones, experimental songs, layered sounds, classic rock influences, keyboards, organs, mid-tempo to slower songs... it's all good stuff.

Basically, pop punk bands who went dark/mature/experimental (or just mature/experimental if they were already dark).

Some examples of what I mean (particularly good examples marked):

Alkaline Trio - Crimson

Fireworks - Oh, Common Life**

Crime In Stereo - Crime in Stereo is Dead**

Bad Religion - Generator

Face to Face - Ignorance is Bliss

Eve 6 - It's All in Your Head

Therapy? - Infernal Love

Seahaven - Halo of Hurt**

Cursive - The Ugly Organ**

Anyone got any suggestions? Thanks a lot in advance!
