Tool or A perfect circle?

[Lightbulb Sun]

I listened to Schism last night and something just clicked. I'm still yet to listen to a lot of their other material, but that song is gold.

...something just clicked

I see what you did there

I'm listening to it right now. Good song. Reflection is my favorite from that album. I would actually prefer Aenema over Lateralus if it weren't for that song.

 

[Perdido]

"Neither" is the nicest way I can answer this thread, and I'll stick to being nice.

I don't even know what I did there.....

 

[applestuddel]

I don't know... do you?

Nah, when you said "it clicked" it reminded me of Schism's lyrics how "the pieces fit". Apparently I gave you too much credit.

 

[Lightbulb Sun]

^ Why yes, you most certainly did.

 

[Rogue Eagle]

I actually don't really know anything by either band. Especially Perfect Circle is completely unfamiliar to me. As a progressive music fan... Should I check them out? Recommendations are welcomed.

Yes, if you're a progressive music fan I think you should check them out... I like Thirteenth step but Mer de noms is good too.

TOOL - Simply for the musicianship. There is no other band that is as tight as TOOL live. Opeth comes the closest, but Adam, Danny, and Justin were brought together by the spirit of all that is music to be a united force never to be equalled. APC is a side project.

 

[Caesar Metallius]

I like Tool A LOT more!

Sure, the musicianship cannot be denied. But side project or not, I think the songwriting in APC is better. They have different goals, I suppose, but APC's songs are catchier and less indulgent. Depends on what you like and your mood. I like both, but find myself listening to APC more. The wife prefers them, anyhow...

 

[Albatros]

Tool shouldn't even be compared with anything.
Tool is so good I'm not sure they do exist.

 

[Lenni]

APC is probably a family-friendly radio-hit version of Tool.

(I'm trolling, don't feed me)

 

[Jon Snow]

Both bands are dreadful. The only good thing about Tool is the drumming. DC is a machine.

 

[Talking Meat]

APC never caught my ear. Tool is pretty damn good but I don't have them anywhere near hallowed status.

There is no other band that is as tight as TOOL live.

I've never been a huge fan, but I did see them open for Primus in about 1996. It was before I was listening to too much serious metal, and I was there on a head full of crazy acid, with only two thoughts able to burst through the cortex...."do these guys have to be so dark", and "man these f*ckers are tight".

tool.......apc is a bit too.....hmmm......samey......tool is didfferent.......PEASCE OUT

 

[Tubbs]

I like Tool a bit better but both bands suck for the most part.

 

[philno]

hey tubbs, long time no see

 

[i aint play this]

tool.......apc is a bit too.....hmmm......samey......tool is didfferent.......PEASCE OUT

Tool less samey than APC?

Can't really agree with that statement.

Sounds like I'm fortunate to have not heard the most recent APC release ???
The other 2 albums were great.
Tool had 3 great albums IMO, so I'm in favor of Tool.
