Seeing as 10,000 Days was just released (and I'm a new tool fan,myself) it would be interesting to see what people think. Myself? I think it's a masterpiece. I don't think any of their albums are weak anywhere and this one carries on an already impressive discography. But otherwise, the band itself? Interesting music, unique, and the music videos are fascinating.

LOVE THEM. I cant even begin to desribe it. They are , by far, one of the best heavy-alternative bands ever.
I did catch the 10,000 tour in Australia. I suggest too all you see them, You have too. You need too.

I'm starting to like Tool more and more every day. Their videos are amaizing and you just can't get bored with their songs. Damn, I hope I will have an opportunity to see them live once, must be amaizing.

That is not completely true. I have listened to Aenima for about ten years now, and can only pull it out every few months, but the simple fact that I have been able to enjoy that album for this long pretty much makes me agree with you.

i haven't had chance to listen to it such a long time..only about 2 or 3 years,but i have to agree that it is one of the groundbreaking albums in music..this will never get shabby.a new album is not bad too,not as good as aenima or lateralus but quite enjoyable.i can't wait to see them on 4. september in zagreb .i expect ?alata to be full

I saw Tool july 18th, and it was increadible. It was my first time seeing Tool, pretty good setlist and fantastic light show. The concert had such a great feel to it. The drum solo was awesome and it was cool hearing the extended versions of Schism and Lateralus. Only complaints were that it was a little hard to hear maynard in some songs, and he didn't sing some parts like the end of vicarious and other big yelling parts in other songs.
Setlist was:
Jambi
Stinkfist
Forty-six & two
Schism(ext)
Wings for Maries pt. 1 & 2
Lost Keys
Rosetta Stoned
Flood
Lateralus (ext)
Vicarious

So what are you waiting for?? Go see Tool, NOW!

I have to disegree here. I don't really think Tool is that catchy, because their lyrics are completely different from everything, and the music is most of the times quite complex. Maybe LAteralus and 10.000 days, but the first albums... I don't think so.

well agree to disagree i guess
their first albums like opiate and undertow are my favorite tool albums
and i still think that theyre catchy as fuk
songs like hush and cold and ugly are catchy as fuk to me at least

You should try their earlier stuff. Lateralus is the big thing. Aenima is nice to try when you're not familiar with them. But Lateralus is great too.
I personally think 10,000 Days is good, but not as great as Lateralus.

I don't think you could go wrong with any of the first four albums, although I would strongly recommend any of the first three. Aenima is quite possibly my alltime favorite album, and is IMO, the perfect blend between the heavier early Tool and the more progressive Tool of the later albums. Undertow is probably their heaviest and darkest album, and highly recommended. Opiate is also a must have, although it has a different sound than the later albums.

I recommend their live albums first(Opiate or Salival). That's when they still had that raw, angry sound going for them. The most common complaint i always hear about Tool is that their songs are too long. Whilst it may not be a problem for conoisseurs of prog-rock/sludge, others get very irritated with it. Once you're a little enthusiastic about them, Undertow will give you a great introduction to their darker side. And then of course Lateralus...what a masterpiece.

Tool is far from both genres, my friend. Actually Tool is far from pretty much everything, except Avantgarde.

I am not really into Tool, but they are touring and coming here to SF, so I decided to buy a ticket and check the band out. Tickets went on Sale last Sunday for $60 at 10:00AM, I went to find tickets 10:03 and it was sold out! and the worst part is they went re-selling them on ebay for prices that reached $500! and people were actually paying this price! I think it's ridiculous!

Tool is one of my favorite bands. I heard a couple of people talking about it on some chat and I decided to listen to this band. The first song i downloaded was 'Jerk Off', and as it started to play on my WMP i thought that this band could be a great find. But when I heard 'Aenima' , 'Schism' , and 'Stinkfist' I was completely mesmerized.

It's worth a listen but overall the only song that held my interest was "Momma Sed"
And why the omittance of "Cuntry Boner"? I loved that song...

I paid 40? to see them live in December 2006, and I can tell I won't ever pay any price to see them again. That must have been the most boring show I've ever attended. I mean, ok it's Tool, they have a special sound, but what's the point if there's nothing going on on stage? I don't pay to see a band bored to death and not giving an actual tiny shit about the current concert. Or the audience. Or anything worth it except Keenan's outfit.
I mean, come on, I know fans are blind, but there are so many bands that are much better live than Tool. Tool is definitely not worth so much money.
