All this is a build up to what I'm about to say (which none of my main friends get) Tool is by far the best band I've ever heard. But the point is ghat I'm pretty diverse in my music background but whatever genre Tool is, I don't listen to anything like that. Couple of older friends randomly mentioned them, I randomly saw a could weird youtube videos. But, my favorite album is Aenima, every single song on the album is above exceptional.įor someone who was 7 when the album released and didn't know a single Tool fan or song until my midtwenties, I would have to say I've taken a weird route to Tool. My favorite song is Flood off of Undertow, and I think Lateralus plays better front to back. I always like to start Stinkfist, pretending I dont know what genre of music Tool is, and when you hear that intro, you have to think "ok.what the fuck am I listening to?" Then Bam, it smashes you in the face and grooves so good. I didn't care for the segues so much when I first started to listen to Tool, but now I listen to it front to back. Every single one of the main songs is so good.
Then the actual song was such an intense trippy journey, I was immersed into the song, and forgot who I was, just like a really good movie can do to you.Īfter that I had to listen to the whole album. When I heard Third Eye for the first time I thought I might have had some Bill Hicks accidentally playing at the same time as Tool on my computer. Before I had heard of Tool, I was already a huge Bill Hicks fan.
