Tool is remarkable. Definitely progressive because of the non-linear structures of their songs...the music and vocals evolve, ascend and descend in intensity and climax on occasion. Also, there are instrumental branches like sub-plots that make the band a leading member in the 'progressive' genre. The esoteric and often profound lyrics add to the whole canvas of what they are...but they can't really just be defined in critical terms, they're a 'feeling' and 'thinking' band. Their lyrics are philosophical and the music mimics the depth of those lyrics. In other words, Tool is AWESOME...definitely progressive. Maynard is working on Puscifer while the rest of the band work on music for a NEW TOOL ALBUM. (don't know any details otherwise). Rock on!:2thumbsup:
I've been getting into Tool a lot more lately. Never payed them much attention before but now I'm kicking myself. Loved the Bill Hicks references too!

Here is a rarity that even a lot of Tool heads I've met haven't heard. "How'd you like to slide on? Slide a mike 6 inches at a time on Maynard's dick." https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qFgQpe4ulwM"]TOOL Maynard's Dick (w/lyrics) - YouTube
