Great start to the journal and I have to agree with you about the bass, so underrated. Funnily enough Tool was the reason (along with The Who) that I picked up a bass the other day and inspired me to tackle it and try learn how to play some good stuff. Even more ironically, it was during a listen to Schism that I picked out the bass I purchased. It is pretty freaky now that I think of it.
Great post
