I know they get a lot of hate, but I feel like a lot of their critics just don't get it, or maybe they honestly aren't smart enough. Lateralus, for example, forms the Fibonacci sequence if you listen closely to the syllables. youtube.com/watch?v=awYc9xvqnv0
Countless others include references to Jungian psychology, which is hard to understand or interpret as a music critic or someone with a degree in music who hasn't taken courses in psychology.
What do you think Sup Forums? Excited for the new album?

>Fibonacci >Jung Wow, it's like they passed grade 10
So smart
Jack Allen
decent bait

>implying that enjoying one band's music is at all equivalent to having a graduate degree -2/10, see me after class.

So you're saying you never passed high school since you aren't capable of appreciating art that celebrates the beauty of mathematics and the human mind?
Maybe /sci/ could teach you a thing or too. Until then, I'll have a Big Mac with fries, pleb.
Jacob Hughes
definitely not as strong as your first post, I think you've given the game up already
sorry dude, maybe next time

Tool lyrics changed my life, but I'd still say they're overrated.
The problem with bands like this is their music is blissed out, the band is blissed out, and the fans are blissed out. There's too much fucking bliss. What happens is when you get to a point where you achieve what I've heard referred to as "neurosomatic bliss" and you stop making sense.
If you have a rational (or autistic) personality, people who are blissed out are annoying as fuck because they don't make fucking sense. At the same time obsessive rationalists NEED a band like Tool to straighten them out.
I listen to Tool on occasion, but not more.
Dylan Butler
Meh bait
Easton Foster
no
Luke Miller
Okay I know it's bait, but I would argue that the ability to analyze cryptic meanings (in music and anything else) is a skill worth having and potentially more than a degree. I know people who have graduated from college who are absolute dunces who learned nothing

Aenima was better and more fun

>neurosomatic bliss >if you have a rational (or autistic) personality, people who are blissed out
You're at least acting like you know what you're talking about, so do you think you could explain what a lot of this means?
Alexander Martin

Tool isn't even metal.

imagine saying this in a social situation in real life
you have never had sex have you
Evan Collins
Listening to music all day > sex. I do not envy you.
Matthew Russell
maybe he owns his own buisness
Justin Howard
I listen to music all day and have never had sex and I highly doubt what you are saying

Tool was one of the bands that got me into metal and i do like them very much. However, it is wrong to say they are the best metal band of all time, especially because of a drum pattern in one song. They are one of the best bands prog metal has to offer but the metal genre is too broad to have one 'best band'.
Michael Clark
I know it's bait but still, how does just including references to something make it good or smart? Big Bang theory is full of references and yet it's retarded. Unless you actually do something with it, there's hardly any value in just stating that you know that something exists.
I've hardly ever listened to Tool btw so I don't know what they do but that argument doesn't work.
Nolan Martin
Sex honestly isn't that good tho. Music is better.
