Okay, I confess that I didn't stop listening to them seriously until early last year. What happened was that 10,000 days was just too long, and all was left was Lateralus for me (I didn't own the previous efforts, not even A(e)nima) and I didn't feel like waiting another 5 years, and A Perfect Circle just wasn't doing it. So I deciphered all the little hints and nuances of the album (mainly how the title song progresses in a mathematical pattern), and got over the drumming, and I was left with "well, what now?"
I also developed an ear for more complex and patience rewarding records, and thought Tool were just too predictable after awhile. I just felt like I grew up, and Tool sounded too angry.
Though, to this day, I enjoy Lateralus. I coped to Parabol/Parabola for some time.
The main guy is a dude I know personally. I woke up at 2 am and watched this video play, and for the longest time I couldn't believe it was a friend of mine : P
