Seriously though, they do make great music and one of the main reasons I listen to them is because of Maynards voice (no,I'm not some geek who worships the guy,just think he's got great vocal range). I do think the lyrics are very creative and make you think, but in some respects I think you should take them with a grain of salt, as Maynard in particular is known for his smart-arseness (not a word i know) Hey,he even says "Over thinking,over analysing separates the body from the mind" so you never know,that could be his way of saying "cummon all you fanboys,get a life" who knows :Spin:
Also, i find it quite funny that everyone here is arguing over whether Lateralus is a great album or not.The theme of Lateralus is communication,so by discussing it in any form basicaly means your doing what Maynard wants you to do anyway
Oh,and to all those that say all Tool fans are dickheads, I'm pretty sure EVERY band has some dickhead fans. So shut up.
The End.
KielbasaSausage said:for one, this is the reason why i dont understand much of tool's fans: they are usually hooked on trying to find out all the possible meanings tied to the band members' relationships and lives. go outside and live your own life. enjoy the music; stop giving a damn about the members of tool and their artistic facade.
KielbasaSausage said:second, research into their lyrics provide valuable insight into all the philosophy and religious crap that you've learned in grade school. ive heard all of that stuff once already, and im not gonna take a recommendation into consideration from some kid who just stumbled upon this.

i think tool has the best songwriting in metal! well, if you consider them metal. but thats a matter of opinion i guess. but i think its safe to say they definately have the best drummer in rock...period. whoever argues with that is a fool! well then theres meshuggah, but that type of music is annoying to try to follow...and now im rambling on cuz im bored...but ill just go find something else to do :|
This is the sort of stuff that turns me off to Tool. They make their fans think they are way too special and smarter than other people, so much that a regular person will not enjoy a Tool album unless they know about some wacky number pattern...or maybe it's just the fans themselves....Icon of siN said:If you don't know much about Solomonic magick or Enoch you probably won't understand this album.
