Overated doesn't mean they aren't good. Halo is very oreated, doens't make it bad.

Tool is not as good as people hail them to be. The only reason people say Tool is as good as they are is because they are known about and are different so many people cling to them to make it look like they know whats suprior on the music scene.

I'm not that good at arguing my point, I'll ask my friend abbath from this other forum his reasoning. He's much better at this than I am.

GellieMan > Tool....4 real. rock:

i think tool is amazing...they're mathimatical in making their music...which is hard...they have like....charts they go by to get timing down...crazy stuff happy:

Ok Pyro, i'll back off a bit here. I've been listening to music my whole life and love alot of bands and different genres of music. Even though i don't play any instruments, i have an ear for it. IMO, Tool is one of those bands that don't come around often and when they do, wow, they just capture you.
Nirvana had the same ability until Cobain killed himself. Some of my other favorite bands include Soundgarden, Rush, and Black Sabbath.
I also spend alot of time listening to "Blues". I could listen to Miles Davis all day.

To touch base on what Joe said about Tool not making an album this year, i know that. They don't pump out album after album, which i think is what makes them good. They're albums get better each time.

aiichha, aiichaa, oh woahwoahhhhhh

If you have a different reason to like Tool than latching on to them because everyone else does, it's fine. Many people say they like Tool for the fact that it's different and does kinda blow you away and see this as an outlet to make them seem like they can tell whats good from bad so people don't hate of them for likin Good charllote as well.
