New Tool Album Leaked

People they aren't original but there are about a billion bands in the genre with Death, Wolves, or GERMANIC REFERENCE in the name, so I think originality isn't as good as the rocking.

I can't think of a single alternative rock band with any of those things in their name.

my uncle gave me SYL's City when I was 11. Unfortunately that didn't stop me from getting into shitty nu-metal, but I was saved form that soon enough by Converge and Opeth at 14. Anyways, those 3 years of darkness in between were filled by Tool, and when lateralus came out I was like "..oh, this band is really boring, but I WILL TRY TO GET IT" which is how most people felt about lateralus. my friend (read: tool fan) sent me 10,000 days to which i said "wait haven't i heard this before. Yeah, Yeah I have. They released this before. on every album" and i stand by this assessment.
edit- nobody was saying the NAME was unoriginal. The band just makes deritative pooptunes. Otherside by the RHCP was like the best tool song.

*mewling hipster whimper* but pitchfork says i'm not allowed to like tool. what if i accidentally mention them within earshot of one of their reviewers?? they might meta-condescend to me...
nah, it's a decent album. danny carey's skill is undeniable and tasty at that. i'm glad they're finally off their tool-asses. i'm not saying they aren't one-trick ponies... i'm just saying sometimes i don't mind.

Yes, I like Godsmack better than Tool. Deal with it.

I like Godsmack better than Tool, but I don't mind Tool too much. I also haven't heard anything past Awake, which I found to be really boring (the self-titled really was pretty good, but I love Godmack, so....)
--- Quote from: KharBevNor ---Tool is the bottom rung of pretentious heavy music. When a Tool fan gets too pretentious, or older than 15, he gets into Mike Patton idolisation. Then, the paths bifurcate. Some go to Devin Townsend, some to Dream Theater, a few to Ayreon.

I never liked Mike Patton, and I like al three of those. I also didn't really like Tool until well after I had gotten into those three bands/people. I still don't really like Tool, but I can listen to them, and Danny Carey is a pretty good drummer, but I've heard tons better, with cooler ideas that rocked harder.

Sure, if you limit them to being called an Alternative Rock Band. But I don't think we are going to get beyond this.
