they have their own distinct sound. i don't think having your own sound though necessarily involves having achieved much musically, especially when there's such a lack of variation within what they've managed to do with it.
saying that, i think i'm wrong slating tool quite to the extent that i do. Ænima and Lateralus are both, at the end of the day, really good albums.
APC on the other hand really are a total pile of sh1te.
