both

dont listen to anything post-Lateralus and youll be fine

They're pretty top-tier IMO.

Not my favorite, but they are still god tier.

they sound very good but they're kinda retarded

They're good. Idk why people seem to think they're a meme band, they've been around forever and are well known. Maynard's side projects are dope too, link related

Sperg meme garbage, and their fans are so insufferable that even Maynard fucking hates them.

Their stuff is passable, but they basically write the exact same fucking song over and over and over and people seem to think they're way better than they are.

They're sperg material for plebs who just discovered the Fibonacci sequence and think doing psychedelics makes them God.

Great music. Fan base equivalent to rick and morty fan base

The band is good and Schism has my personal favorite bass line but the fans are reddit tier pseudo-intellectuals who try to decipher every little thing in their lives and puts a "profound" spin on them.

THIS

Tool fans are some of the most insufferable music fans there are.

Yes

Saying Tool sucks is like saying Metallica sucks. The sound itself may not be your cup of tea but you can't deny their legacy.

Buttrock with effect pedals

I've been searching for the original music video of sierra leone. The one with the beach. And i can't find it anyone. Anyone has any idea?

Good band. Spreg memes are their own constant.

never heard about them

Took kinda reminds me of dragonforce honestly. Keep releasing shit, always sounds the same but gets praised by idiots. Tools following though is way more annoying though imo

the secret 1000000000 days track is pretty cool. Schism too.

>tfw I posess a lot of those traits

What legacy are you talking about? Entertaining a bunch of mediocre fucktards who can't be bothered to use the Internet to find better music? TOOL is the original Rick and Morty.

They're good. What's annoying though is when people blow them out of the water. TOOL themselves have even said that their fans tend to take them way too seriously.

They're everyone's "holy shit these guys are god-level nobody understands them like I do" band you get into in high school.
Then grow up, stop listening. And appreciate their simple prog rock for what it is and move on.

Wow you sure convinced me with those hot opinions there, user. Good job.

All four of their studio albums are platinum certified at a minimum. Whether you like it or not they were hugely popular in the nineties and early to mid 2000s, and still get a lot of air time.

They aren't edge-lord garbage.. but oh boy their fans sure are.

I don't know man. I had the opposite experience. Thought they were the most boring thing since the missionary position during Highschool. Ended up hearing enough of them to understand what was going on in their music and started enjoying how complex it was musically speaking.

A lot of their material is downright challenging to learn on any instrument though, so I wouldn't call it simple.

Tool is shit, the music they create isnt

Undertow is an album ill still listen to today. When I think tool I think of a overweight guy with spikey hair, glasses, and a chain hanging from their jean pocket. Its such a turn off.

Well.... From a drumming standpoint I'd agree. But I honestly don't think they're guitar or bass work is much to write home about. That being said, everything together makes for some really nice listening.
I do believe that Maynard is an above average lyricist and writes from a personal place. So that's why people tended to catch on and relate to it.

This is pretty accurate. My buddy used to wax poetic about it non stop when we were younger. Now that I'm older I appreciate it, but it isn't the be all and end all of music.

Yeah I was that guy, hence my point. I still love them and every now and then I listen and enjoy it. But I'm nowhere near how gay I was about them back in the day

What could be accomplished exposing you to anything of worth? At best you would follow it just as blindly, too. So, rustling jimmies will have to do.

McDonalds has sold billions and billions of hamburgers, too. God-tier reasoning thinking that sales indicate quality.

Loved Aenema. Was an amazing album in the 90s from a very talented band.

Half a decade later they come out with Lateralus. Not bad but nothing really incredible. Obviously very talented musicians but get a little carried away with their math rock. Each album has a 46&2 clone which is basically the same baseline with slight variances. Wasnt that good of a song the first time.

8 fucking uears later they release 10,000 days which i didnt even bother listening to until about a month ago because i grew up and started listening to more diverse music that wasnt so brooding. The musicians are great albeit a bit dark but Maynard is just such a whiney lottle bitch. Always singing about his fucking mommy. He makes Trent Reznor seem mature. Now every song is basically quadratic equations with a baseline. You ever see concert footage of any songs from 10000 days and literally every guy in the room has a different head bob pattern like a fucking blowjob orgy

>Mfw its 2035 and the latest Tool album since 10000 days is released. Its basically the Pythagorean theorum in music form with some geriatric midget crying about his mom hidden in a pedophile scat porn analogy. Sells 10 million copies

This is the funniest tool takedown I have ever read.
Kudos sir
