It's an acquired taste to the extreme. Tool have two crucial aspects to them that separate them from most (and bordering on all)
mainstream rock: highly complex polyrhythmic arrangements, and very gradual build-ups of energy and tension within songs. Maybe three crucial aspects if you include the dark, doom atmospherics. If somebody's mind reacts well to any one of those things, chances are they'll like Tool a whole lot. The rest won't understand what the fuss is about.
It sounds awfully silly, but it really IS all down to how the individual's mind works.
