How is Tool received here?

[CF87]

Tool is a basic hardrock band trying to be expirimental. Tool has a good drummer and bassist but the guitarist Adam Jones holds them back. I would not consider the band prog like people make them out to be. Tool was good at what they did at a certain point, the last two cds tool failed to reinvent themselves change or progress, the band does not need to wait to release something every 5 or 6 years at this point when it's the same old same old.

 

[Scourge of Malice]

I used to love them, and although I almost never listen to them anymore, I still consider myself a fan. 10000 days has not impressed me though.

 

[~Neurotica]

Tool kicks asses.

 

[metal paddy]

suck cock too bruv

 

[Jean-Pierre]

They're great.

 

[Astrum]

nah, there not even metal........

 

[R.I.P.2]

Good band with moments of greatness.

 

[V.V.V.V.V.]

Hahaha Greys.

I'm pretty sure you haven't listened to any Tool outside of what is on the radio, which sure is a horrible way to judge music. If you have heard Lateralus, you have no excuse to say that they "failed to progress" or any such bullshit, as they clearly have (progressed, that is).

 

[Dazed and Brutal]

Lateralus, imo, is a very metal non-metal album. Pure fucking amazing prog.

 

[Zephyrus]

I'm not a fan, but all the proggies on the Opeth forum seem to dig it.

 

[~Neurotica]

nah, there not even metal........

If band is not metal it doesnt mean that it sucks.
Especially considering that they actually are...

 

[cookiecutter]

eh.

I agree with this profound and explanatory statement.

I was thinking the same thing. And even though I don't like 10000 days much (though I haven't given it much of a chance) it definitely is not a rehash of any of their albums and they are still trying some new things here and there.

 

[VadimVon]

Never gave a fuck about Tool. Never understood what was supposedly so good about them ever.

 

[Carcassian]

My point exactly. They always seemed excessively tedious to these old ears.

 

[Krilons Resa]

They fucking RULE.

Havnet really gotten into 10,000 Days though. Except for a few songs.

 

[Blinded By Blood]

I've only heard various songs, but I like them. Not my favorite band, but they're pretty good. New album's annoying from what I've heard though

 

[Ender Rises]

Not metal, overrated, but other than that pretty good. APC is better IMO.

 

[Astrum]

same

 

[Hatebreeder]

Except for a few songs, Tool never really appealed to me. Too many other bands to listen to that kick their progressive asses.
