Honestly, they sound like nu metal that they based around the style of Tool. They've always seemed to want to sound like Tool. Anyways, they're not very original, just **** that RATM, Biohazard and FNM were doing years earlier, and those bands all sounded a lot better.

I never thought they wanted to sound like Tool. Are you saying this because Maynard did a song with them on White Pony?
And I agree they didn't influence nu metal. If they had, it might have sounded a lot better down the road.
