I like Tool... a lot... but I can understand why folks don't. There are just certain elements of the band that identify with elements of your own musical history and taste. Just like any other band. No one can say that Tool isn't a collection of talented musicians... all they can say is that those musicians don't produce music that appeals to them. Just like any other talented band.
I can understand why some folks like nothing more than in-your-face hard thrash, while others like soothing classical. It's personal context. And there's nothing wrong with that.
I think the majority of Tool fans tarnish the concept of Tool, more than Tool tarnishes the concept of Tool.
