I've never seen any Tool merchandise, but I've heard a couple of their dull albums.

The Wedding Present are criminally underrated.

Mike Kinsella, under rated.

Except for all the chicago scenesters who praise the Kinsella brothers like gods.

i think the problem most people have with the band comes up when you try talking to a Tool fan who sees no other and hears no other real band out there besides Tool.


as for myself

overrated - Foo Fighters
underrated - Nirvana

If Nirvana is anything but overrated I'll take a shotgun to my face.

Indeed. The stereotypical Tool fan is the problem... Being overrated by your fanbase is completely different than being overrated by the general public.
