In pretentiousness? probably nobody
In quality? Blue Oyster Cult

Gojira

both noted

...

In quality?
Pretty much everyone elce:
Opeth, king crimson, can, zappa, faust, porcupine tree, hawkwind, ect

i see your point. it is a subjectiv matter.
Can? Tried Zappa, not my taste. Faust? Alright. Noted.

Idk, how many progressive rock bands are there?

3, maybe 4

I-I like Tool. Their songs are so cool.

King Gizzard when they want to be prog (Crumbling Castles, Lord of Lightning v Balrog)

A band called Haikara

King Gizzard, specifically Nonagon and Murder of the Universe

also other prog metal like Porcupine Tree and even Dream Theater, but Tool dominates the genre imo

>tfw I kept listening to Tool when I was in middle school
>they STILL don't have a new album out

The Mars Volta, best prog band out there

>implying this isn't Maynard's last "fuck you" to the fans

I'm afraid Maynard or Jim might die before a new Tool album. I'm scared.

Well Rishloo come to mind

who needs a new tool album anyway. the ones we got are amazing.

I do. What kind of fan doesn't want new music?

I've had their songs on repeat for a decade. I want new shit.

GOD DAMN SHIT MY BED

Do people really dislike 10,000 days? Is it just because it's different/harsher? The Pot and Rosetta Stoned are amazing

When you're listening to Tool, just remember that they're not like other bands. Their music is incredibly artistic, almost to the point where you have to be paying complete attention to them to even remotely understand them. I remember listening to a song on Lateralus (though I can't remember what it was), where I thought a song was absolute bollocks during the listen. Then, I closed my eyes for a second, and all of a sudden the song had an entirely new meaning. It was insane the way Tool could just become something so different when you take a look into the music.

Another thing you should note about Tool is that it's easy to get a headache listening to them. Not because they're a bad band, but because of how many ideas their music is riddled with and how complex they are. Soon enough your head will fill to the brim and the rest will just sound like noise to you. Just turn it off and give it a listen the next day.

If you don't like the music, you'll definitely at least enjoy reading through the lyrics, and picking apart the song itself and all of the artistic values that go into making it the complexity that it is.

I've been listening to them since I was young. I never really cared about artistic values, I just thought the songs sounded cool.

going back and listening to Tool after you've got a whole ton of life experience is like listening to a whole different band.

Rosetta Stoned is one of those songs that absolutely hated for ages and now i genuinely think its one of the best songs they ever wrote.

meshugga are prog i liked them in middle school a lot

Name 1 bad Tool song. Go ahead.

The Pot
Eulogy
Hooker with a Penis
Pushit
Intolerance

These are just really bland and forgettable.

woah

late Death

Karnivool and Dorje have a similar vibe to them

>random time signature that doesn't really make sense
>irregular meter every other bar
>dissonance for the sake of it, doesn't actually add anything to the song
>overly pretentious lyrics and song titles to please the reddit rick and morty 23 year old numals with receding hairlines, glasses and beards

wow guise tool greatest band ever xd

>everything makes sense and blends well together you're just retarded

>no u

I can say the same about Death Grips and literally any artist Sup Forums likes

Yo, fuck off comparing this garbage ass band to an actually good band like BÖC

Actually putting Leprous on there makes it perfect. Bueno.

Most of their songs are in 4/4 and Adam mostly just plays in the minor pentatonic scale. You have no clue what the fuck you're talking about. You must've never listened to Tool and just read the comments section on a Tool video.

fuck

good and you should

>minor pentatonic scale

literally r*ddit the scale

go back from whence you came, soyboy

i can tell you dont play instruments/have many friends

such a r*ddit comeback lol
i guess that's what happens when you criticize tool

You sure seem to know a lot about reddit. Maybe you're the one who needs to go back. r/theredpill misses you.

>You sure seem to know a lot about reddit
>links reddit sub

Yeaaahhhh I'd have to go ahead and disagree with you there sonny boy
The Pot
Eulogy
Hooker with a Penis
Pushit
and perhaps Intolerance
are the glue that keeps the album together

10,000 days has there best songs imo.

For those too lazy to look it up

you fucker!

ohhhh w8! i think i get it

agreed. too bad they got old but what can ya do.... new atdi is sorry as fuck imo and i really feel like its a money thing. whether they admit it to themselves or not... they gotta make money and atdi is a good way to do it.

Mastadon

The Mars Volta blows them out of the water in terms of progressiveness.

it really is, i like how maynard just satirized his own lyrics, pretty meta

Pic related is the best prog album ever made.
So yes, Yes.

*cough in swedish*

Red hot chili peppers.

If you want better than tool, then there's a lot more options

you thinking of SOEN?!

>Opeth
