Who likes Tool?

Question

favorite album? I just heard the song aenima and really liked it, any suggestions for other bands?

Answer 1

Tool are awesome. They are so unique. No band can compare to tool. They are so evolved. Aenima is something like 10 years old now and it still rocks hard. I can talk about tool forever, I play it every day and never, never get bored of it. My fav would be Aenime and Laturalus. If you are new too tool. By the albums one at a time and start from the aenime and play for 3 months then move onto the next and next. But don't skip one, so that that way you can see there genius and how they improve and grow and evolve in so many ways. Tool.
I'm playing 10 000 days now and sipping on a wild turkey when I should be at work. WOOOOOOOOO.

Answer 2

Tool is on of my all time favorite bands and I suggest anything with maynard james keenan in it ( a perfert circle, puscifer) 10000 days is out (someone said it wasn't) but not by far my favorite ( which isn't to say I do not like it but I would have to say Aeinma is my favorite tool album! it had the most songs I could never live without! as for other bands I would go to yahoo launchcast radio it's pretty good at giving suggestions for other bands.

Answer 3

YOU are asking this question at the wrong place . Yahoo answers is dominated by stupid f**ks who have never heard anything else except "Beyonce & Britney".
(i THINK they just did not have access to good porn while growing up so, they coninued seeing what MTV served them )

Back to the topic : here is a critique that I wrote about them a few days back :

------------------------------
After a long time ,infact ,only after "Alice in Chains" in the year 2004(It took me some time to realise the full breadth of AIC) ,has any band impressed me to such an extent as "TOOL".Tool stands out as a completely different rock band admist stupid bands with a fixed formula of soft verses & loud choruses.Their song are generally longer than the 3-5 minute format of MTV.So, they don't get much airplay there.Considering these & the fact that TOOL is basically a 'dark' band,the success TOOL has earned is noteworthy.

Like any other good band,you take your time to get adjusted to their different sound.First time listeners may not find any ******* rhyme in the long TOOL songs.They may even find it too "HARD" for their taste.But,like a polished stone each & every song of tool is precise & accurate.Every stroke of drum is in place,where it needs to be.The Songs like the ones from AIC grow on you.And,boy do they grow!!With every listening of the song, the song becomes better,better and better.The greatest thing about this band is that once you get used to the abrupt pace of the songs,they just blow yur mind away.Some categorize TOOL as a "Psychedelic Mathematical Rock",though it is very tough to put this band in one genre,because of the wide spectrum of their music.Mathematical because of the complex rhythm changes, haunting vocals, and an onslaught of changes in dynamics.

The key to liking the music of TOOL are three things :

a)The "primal" voice of lead singer J maynard keenan.
b)The unusual spiritual kind of lyrics.
c)And most importantly the precise & incessant drums by Danny Carey.

For eg, the song "Ticks & Leeches".This is one of the "Hardest" song from the Band.It starts of slow with a brilliant Drumming by carey ,then is joined by wonderful guitars.By the time Keenan makes his presence felt,the song already would be categorized as "Hard".If you just keep your attention to only the drums in this song, you will feel the awesome rhythm in the song.The two minute slow piece which comes in abruptly in between ,with guitars only gives a very good idea of the rhytm of the song.But,Drums ,Drums & Drums are the key to this and many other tool songs.

Talking about Lyrics,they are never simple.With praying for a complete disaster to fall on L.A. in the song "Aenema",to the mystically spiritual "Parabol & Parabola".
---------------------------------
