Perhaps I didn't make it clear enough in my previous post, but I believe they are both overrated and underrated in different aspects, of course.
However, it is pushing 4:30 am over here, and if I stay up past 5am, I'm obliged to see the sun rise, so until my brain is recharged, Kate, I'm sure you'll find something to respond to in my post.

Ugh I know what you mean completely. I'm thankful that I've found someone else who is sick of Tool purely being recognised as a 'metal' assemblage. This attitude often means that the whole point of Tool as a band and as a communication 'tool' is completely missed.
Yeah, I'd have to agree that they are both overrated and underrated in many different ways.
