I`ve never really understood his appeal.

I keep being told they`re deep , edgy & progressive but I don`t see it. To me Tool are just your average doom & gloom rock with extra preteniousness. The songs jusy chug along while this idiot wails away in the background trying to be profound with added studio trickery to make it sound like they`ve made an effort. I could see why your average Limp Bizkit fan would see it as being progressive & clever. But in all honesty your average Tool album makes me fall asleep.
