tool is what it is , whatever its trying to be or whatever i think theyre the shit in my top 2 , at the same time i think some of us fans are way fuckin overzealous theyre a kick ass band ,but extordinary musicians? no
I think I'd have to be in the "old school soldier" catagory when it comes to these guys. Undertow was amazing... AEnima a little less so... Lateralus was like the worst shit I've ever heard. I'm not as into this type of music anymore, so I wasn't expecting to care for this new one much either, but I was suprised at how good it was. Decent CD for casual listening IMO, not much more... "and in between sips of coke, he told me that he though we were selling out, laying down, sucking up to the man"
tool sound like they're tryna be grunge to me. i dont fukin like em like, and no i wasnt kiddin "right" about them havin elements of grunge in their music becuase they do. how can you say they don't? im not sayin in all their songs but definitely in the songs i've heard by them. by the way if you think by "grunge" i mean anythin along the lines of "smells like teen spirit" or nirvana's "nevermind" album, think again. i mean real grunge.
uhhh, what is real grunge??? creed??? I dont see any elements of grunge in tool's music....... I hear metal and art rock. black sabbath meets pink floyd and rush.......
actually I like the lateralus album more than both undertow and aenima. undertow is a rather poor album, if I do say so..... I think they keep getting better with age.
dude, observe your surroundings a little more... I mention nothing about Creed having ANYTHING to do with tool, simply state my opinion on them as a response to madcrappie's comment. And in further response, just wanna say Creed are an insult to the ears.
This album is fucking brilliant, it's like a religious experience listening to it. For me they get better with every album.
I will resurrect this old thread to say this. How can anyone say Tool sucks? I just don't understand. Tool is just plain awesome. No ifs, ands or buts about it. Its kick-ass music that can enlighten, anger, calm and even teach. As far as the new album (or cd, whatever you want to call it) is concerned, it is a highly enjoyable one. Although, in my opinion, Lateralus is their best so far. For you haters out there (and I won't mention any names.) What do you expect? You come onto this obvious Tool fan thread and bash the band. Now if it was the new ablum you didn't like that would be one thing. But no, you bashed the band. Sounds to me you just like to pick fights. Start a 'who hates Tool' thread if you want to be heard.
TOOL is good, ppl that say they suck want there parents to put it in them. they are there own type of music, theys do good art, and they all around kick major ass!
actually, the thread is for anyone to voice their opinions on the band. just because someone said tool suck (i.e. me) doesn't mean you gotta get all uptight and angry towards their opinion. i'm not trying to pick fights with anyone, i'm sure you tool fans are all very nice people and we'd probably get along in person. but yeh, respect the fact that opinions will differ, especially on a forum used by a wide range of people with mixed taste!!!!!!!
For you information I do respect the opinion of others. But the thread is clearly named ‘new tool album.’ You had nothing to say about the album, just the band.
ah, i see, i do apologise. the new tool album will probably be of the same kind of mediocrity that the rest of them are.
If I were you, I probably wouldn't be filling my head with shit. Shithead. Muhahaha. Shithead in a harmless manner, of course.
