I realize that, but it has already been four years and they have historically taken four to five years to release a follow-up...

Tool's art is worth the wait. I don't care how long it is between albums. They get better and better. It's something they have in common with Peter Gabriel, Faith No More, and I can't think of anyone else.

Are you referring to any particular album?

No, I'm totally with you there. I just get so sick of how far up Maynard's ass everyone tends to be. My shoulders sit snugly underneath's Jones' rear.

Bahahaha Danny Carey's the 2nd overrated member. Jones ... Well there's nothing wrong with him at all. :P

Edit: On a more serious note, Chancellor is one sick bassist.

Lol yeah, I know what you mean. I once dated a guy that took me to see Tool, but he was too distracted with his hard on for Carey to notice that I was there with him.

On a sidenote, Jones played with a Stratocaster when they recorded "Pushit", which incidently is the same guitar my boyfriend plays and they also share the same last name

I notified him of this and was immediately shunned for the rest of the evening

There's a lot of hate for this band.

Carey isn't so overrated. He's actually a very good drummer and deserves a majority of the cred he gets. I wouldn't call him the best technically or anything, but he's part of their style in a huge way.

There is quite a bit of dislike for this band. Most of the people I talk to about Tool who are into the same music as me really only have a problem with the two most recent albums - 10,000 Days and Lateralus. It might be a coincidence, but I noticed that the ones whose favorite Tool album is Lateralus are also the ones that connect with most.

I'm not saying Carey doesn't deserve the praise he gets nor am I saying that his skills don't mesh well with the other band members. I'm referring to each member's level of acknowledgement in the band.
