Top 10 Albums That Sound Like Tool


Thumbs up: +2
Tool is probably my favourite band,
And because I am not very positive that they'll drop a new Album this year (or this century...) I want to share some good music with a Tool-vibe.
Please keep in mind that I don't want to reduce the following bands efforts to their similarity to Tool.
Suggestions are welcome.

(A Perfect Circle and Puscifer are not included due to obvious reasons)

1. Lucid Planet - Lucid Planet
Superb Debut with bombastic Instrumentals, vocals are maybe a bit improvable but still great
2. Soen - Cognitive
Probably the most known Tool-influenced band, fantastic album
3. Rishloo - Feathergun
Incredible vocal performance, energetic record
4. Prisma - You Name It
Ok - this sounds almost like a cover band, but like a good one
5. Source (USA) - Return To Nothing
Very ambitious and packed, a bit too much maybe
6. Sophie's Earthquake - The Flood
Nice german band, the Stoner side of Tool is strong in this
7. Indukti - Idmen
Great instrumentals, and a bit weird...
8. Chevelle - La Gárgola
Not that complex, but you'll hear the influence
9. Karnivool - Sound Awake
A bit "lighter" than Tool but the riffage is similar, great album
10. Deftones - White Pony
Similar in vocals and instrumentation on Tool's alternative side (and MJK sings on "Passenger")
