Who likes Tool?

Re: Who likes Tool?

I'm a huge Tool fan. Probably my second 3rd favorite band ever behind Oasis and The Beatles. I agree with Misfit, that though good 10,000 days was a bit of a let down compared to the bands previous two efforts. The Pot kicked some serious *** though.

You're just a casual fan, and that's cool. There's more to their music, than I feel you understand, try some boomers THEN listen to em.

I disagree. I own every release they've put out and for a time Tool was probably my favorite band. I feel over the last two albums they've become predictable and have relied on similar progressions for a lot of songs. It's not a matter of comprehension, but of taste.

Obvioulsy if they're predictable you knew what was coming with 10,000 Days. I think it's more reasonable to say you DIDN'T expect them to come with what they did, hence the dissapointment. If you knew where they were headed, then how could you possible expect more? Contradiction.

Not really. Undertow does not sound like Opiate. Aenima does not sound like Undertow. Lateralus does not sound like Aenima. 10,000 Days sounds like Lateralus Part II. They became predictable with 10,000 Days. I expected 10,000 Days to go some place else, but the band sounds like they're stuck in neutral.

Really? I disagree, I think 10,000 days has some of the most amazing bass lines ive ever heard, (wings of marie) although I do understand what your saying, the formula is some what the same, but really what band doesn't use the same formula?
I think 10,000 days is a masterpiece, Right in two is an incredible song with brilliant lyrics, and as for Jambi I gotta put it up there with the best of their songs ( H ) , but to each his own I guess.

I believe one of the reasons I love 10,000 days so much is because of seeing them live 2 times and both shows were during the 10,000 days tour.

Re: Who likes Tool?

Going by Tool's history of releasing CDs on a five-year cycle, I'd assume the next one won't see daylight until 2011. I wish they'd work a little faster...but I guess it takes time to make perfection

Maynard stated in a interview at the grammys that the band will start recording soon, they will not take as long this time ,they are getting old.

AEnima

The Pot

Re: Who likes Tool?

Push-it (live version)
Third Eye
Lateralus (love the time signature changes in that one -- great riff)

Honorable mention to "Jerk-Off", "Part of Me", and "Hooker With A Penis", which are their most headbangiest songs IMO. Love the drums on HWAP -- Carey kills it as usual.

Re: Who likes Tool?

I liked Tool for a while. Their first two full albums were pretty great. After that, though? Whatever.

Re: Who likes Tool?

1. 46 & 2 (A top 5 song of mine)
2. Sober
3. Aniema
4. Schism (I wanted to put this one on here as well. I LOVE the time signature changes)

[MC Fatigue]

Re: Who likes Tool?

Hard to say top 3 because those first two full albums are great. If I had to try to narrow it down, though, it'd probably be:

1.) Sober
2.) Undertow
3.) Eulogy
