My point was largely incidental; it was not related to the argument. And it is simply that most of those who attack Tool (and ANY OTHER BAND, for that matter) have generally never given that band's whole discography a fair go. It makes sense, as there is only so much time available to each individual, but nevertheless, it is true. And that goes for whether or not they'd ultimately end up liking the band, had they bothered; that much, there's no way of telling.

Whether they have the time or not, its ridiculous to make someone listen to a bands entire discography if they don't like what they've heard just to satisfy a tool fan. Then again it probably won't satisfy them they'll bust out the "you just don't get it" argument.
