It is different. When most people hype their favourite band, they don't make out like that band is doing things that are virtually unknown/unseen/inconceivable anywhere else. They don't speak with...

APC is not a valid comparison with Tool, anyway. Just because Maynard is the singer doesn't make the bands in any measure alike, and not being alike in any way at all means that any comparison is...

"Not too hopeful" is about right. Anybody who thinks that Tool will have a new album out at any point prior to 2011 is probably deluding himself.

Number 75 is pretty much an honorary mention, and as for the Guitar World poll, it mentions quite explicitly that, and I quote:

"This is not a list that ranks who can play the fastest or with the...

Adam Jones technically speaking is not a great guitarist. But he is good at what he does and fits the bill perfectly for Tool's sound.

I take it that you realize Howerdel is almost certainly the main force behind the sound of APC, actually being a competent musician and a producer and all that... and that Tool's sound is owed...

Don't get me wrong, obviously it was their music above all that put them on the map. But subtle, creative marketing has been an important part of the Tool chronology, there is no doubting that for a...

I don't particularly want to resurrect this argument, but I'll say this much: cloaking themselves in obscurity and mystery is all a part of the marketing....

Huh? It's hardly rocket science. Since we're talking Tool, all you do is listen to Schism a few times, think "well THAT opening sounds pretty damn good", and so make Vicarious.

Yes...um...you may not have noticed but music in general does actually tend to use a combination of "time signatures and melody"? :rolleyes:

I wasn't suggesting that Maynard is any sort of pseudo-intellectual. On the contrary, he isn't. He just writes about things that personally take his interest, obviously. I think Maynard's lyrical...

That's a ridiculous thing to say. Tool isn't even particularly inaccessible! There's way more "difficult" music than Tool out there, and certainly more "intelligent" music in term of lyrical content....

His main input in the band is that of adding melody and lyrics. The real intelligence of the band lies in the creative interplay and polyrhythmic arrangements of Carey, Chancellor and Jones. And the...

Go listen to Aenima and Lateralus. There is nothing else in the Tool discography that calls out to be listened to. Undertow is not a good album whatever anybody says. It was an uneven effort with...

I agree with Lateralus being by a long way the best Tool album. For one, it tries and achieves more than Aenima does. But I also believe it's got the best (and most rocking) songs.

I thought that...

Fair enough.



I listened to Puscifer. I didn't think it was that good, though it seemed to accomplish more musically speaking than Tool or APC.

One thing that's always irritated me about many Tool fans, is how they are somehow automatically APC fans too simply because of their man-crushes on Maynard. Like, who gives a damn? Does it make you...

Oi! I'll have you know that Bolton has to his credit around 5 times as many studio albums and 17 times more EPs than Tool; he wins that fight merely on grounds of proliferation.
