Carrying this over from "Shitty Music"...

Aenema (forgot how to spell it) is an amazing song.  I don't understand how anyone could not like it, nor this band.

They do stretch out their songs a little too much, and they have a bunch of misses, but when they do stay on mark it is an amazing thing.

Someone on the other topic mentioned their lyrics being generally soul-less?  Please...  Every major tool fan I know thinks maynard is some kind of god for the stuff he writes.  Plus, his lyrics can be open to many different interpretations, but still stay meaningful.  Every song I've heard (from Tool) is usually chock full of emotion.

Danny Carey = Obviously not the best drummer in the world, but I would still put him in the realm of great drummers.  

Discuss!

KharBevNor:
I deleted the only tool album I had as I didn't really like them, and needed space, but lets just make some general points:

1)Tool,and members thereof, are ceaselessly overhyped to a tedious degree.

2) Lyrical gods do not use the phrase 'fuck you in your fucking ass', or write songs about transgendered prostitutes. Never.

3) Listen to some real prog.

sp2:
Tool is decent enough, but most of their fanbase are people who want to act musically literate but aren't, and thus don't have access to the good stuff because they don't really care.  

It's really no surprise that most Tool fans are either high school kids or, well, tools.

Praeserpium Machinarum:
I like both Tool and A Perfect Circle, and yes I think Maynard is both a great singer and lyricist. But I can understand how their artiness might piss somebody off, sometimes it's difficult to know if they are sincere or not, most of the time I think they are both. While I don't consider myself a fan in the strictest sense, I think they deserve whatever recognition they get...

MorbidMiss:
I am a fan of Tool and APC (more so the latter) but really, who can argue whether lyrics are deep or significant or not. The beauty of language is the allowance for individual interpretation.

And in APC, Geordie White is pretty... and talented.
