The only numbers I like in music are 1,2,3,4 at the start of every Ramones track. It's much easier to understand. :D

thread Merged.

Tool is a great band. Maynard has one of the best vocals I've heard. Undertow is my favorite album from the group.

I've finally been forced to listen to the 10000 something something album by the sheer force of MB Tool fanboyishness and found it to sound like Staind only longer....So I thought I'd report back and thank all you assholes for wasting my time. So thank you...assholes...:|

A perfect circle has more meaning to me personally.
Tool has more metal, and I love the music.
Two hard bands to compare to see who's better.
They are both awsome.

10,000 Days does not suck. If you wanted another Lateralus you're asking for a hell of a lot.

Wings Pt. 2 is one of the most epic and emotional songs I've ever heard, from any band, in any genre, ever.

I agree. I LOVE that song.
It's the song that got me to finally realize how epic they really are.
To be specific, the line:
"10,000 days in the fire is long enough; you're going home."
I remember the exact moment. >.>

"You're the only one who can hold your head up high,
Shake your fists at the gates saying:
'I've come home now!
Fetch me the Spirit, the Son, and the Father.
Tell them their pillar of faith has ascended.
It's time now!
My time now!
Give me my, give me my wings!'"

Agreed. I liked the song when I first heard it, but what really put it over the top for me was hearing it live. It blew me away more than anything else they played, although had they played Right In Two I think it could have given it a run for its money.

Maynard was once quoted saying that with Tool, everything is worked to absolute perfection before it is released or before they even consider it a finished song, but with APC it's more like relaxing a little and letting the emotions come out.

What is everybody's thoughts on Puscifer? I'm ambivalent at the moment as I haven't been able to get my hands on the album.

I don't consider Puscifer in the same vein as Tool or APC, I see Puscifer as Maynard's way of blowing off some musical steam.

That being said, if you want some trance/industrial stuff to just throw on in the background, Puscifer is pretty damn good. Check out Indigo Children and you'll see what I mean.
