I thought tool was overated as well untill i heard them while under the influence of psychedlics.. their lyrics are deep. There music will take you into a trance of yourself. There music has many ograsmic like bursts in mood/tempo... genius.

yeah I think a big part of it is personal feelings towards bands. For example I like tool.. I think it is mysterious and dark, a giant underlying tone of something that I cant quiet grasp.
I think most of becks shit is just dumb, any guy can somehow come up with music like his and string together phrases that I cant make sense out of
Nirvana, I hate Nirvana , dont like any of their songs. If I wanted to hear some depressed guy with a stressed out voice singing how life sucks I can go to the apartment next door.
Dont get me wrong, I still give Nirvana props, they were masters in their field and I respect them as musicians, but I just cant stand their songs.
A great example of diversity among musical tastes, its all about what each person looks for in their music they listen to.
Everything said here is just my opinion, I know im prolly gonna get flamed for what I said tho... so yeah im not trying to say one is better then the other , but in my head I know exactly what I like best.

Ya, now you change it around like we dont know what your trying to say. But truthfully we don't care to much what you think. Tool kicks ass i have them and i also like Mudvayn some and some taproot. But TooL is deep. Keep on writing such great lyrics peace.

yeah whatever bitch, i explained every thing needed to understand what im saying. i dont have to go into any kind of depth.
i understand people have different opinions in the meanings of things , and i guess im just trying to express mine too hard. im not trying to tell you what you can find from lyrics. but i know how "goths" or "freaks" or whatever you like to be called, think. all people dont think alike but ive been around them soo much that i know most of them think very alike. hell, i used to be like that myself.it was just a "phase or something for me". i realised there is so much more that i like, be it clothes, music, hair styles, whatever.for in stance liking an object just because its black. but thats all your opinion too.
im not trying to put words in your mouth, or trying to tell you what you feel, or like.
anyways i was pretty pissed. when i posted in this thread at first, im going through alot os shit right now.

All music is just words thrown together in different combinations. Some of Tool's songs are ok, and some are horrible. I feel like they are trying too hard. Maybe if I had a bit more teenage angst I could connect with them. It's really about connecting with other like-minded listeners of the music anyways. A sense of belonging to a sub-culture. Whether that be raver, goth, stoner, politician, whatever. Listen to whatever you want, but stay open-minded.

Anarchist have you ever listened to the musical composition of Tool. Danny, their drummer, has some of the most intricate and by far most diverse patterns that I have ever heard in music. He is pure raw talent and his drumming alone can leave me tripping harder than before.

Jethro Tull - Aqualung
intelligent rock and roll with greats lyrics about the relation between God and religion. Great guitar, great drums, perfect flue....everything in synthony (sp?) and it is great to listen to it "lost in the woods"
if you?re more into crazy psychedelic, listen to Syd Barret, the recentely released CD (at least here....lol) is great in nature...perfect...

Wookiefoot. Local Minnesota group, first album, domesticated is basically a trip start to finish, it's a parable and is real cool. Never tripped to it, i prefer stuff a bit less structured usually, but yeah, a great "pot trip". Second album has some interesting things to think about too, though it's not nearly as cohesive. Otherwise blind melon is a favorite while tripping, he has a way with words that fits my ideas about life real well.

actually that's not all I'm saying.. I Wish You Were Here contains the lyrics: "The ocean looks like a thousand diamonds strewn across a blue plane" and "The sky resembles a backlit canopy with holes punched in it" Yeah!

I'm not trying to flame you at all. But for you to say somethin like that is kinda perposterous dude.
Latelarus especially is steeped with religous meaning. Read up on buddhism and hinduism and then listen to it. YOu'll understand it isn't just words strong together.
When maynard sings, "But i'm still right here giving blood, keeping faith." and "This tedious path i've chosen here, I certainly would've walked away by now...and i still may, i still may."
That means nothing to you? You can't feel his angst and his dissapointment in giving all he has and not getting anything in return?
I guess art really is for artists....

Incubus kicks ass. Make Yourself and Morning View are EXCELLENT albums to trip to, Morning View especially. And yeah man, you can say you don't like tool, but you can't say the lyrics are "words and phrases together the dont go together and dont make sense", because clearly, they are written intelligently and skillfully. Peace.

>>but i know how "goths" or "freaks" or whatever you like to be called, think. One ignorant comment after another. Im going to pretend these assumptions, comments, and misinformed accusations relating to Tool and their fans exist only because you haven't put forth the effort to educate yourself anarchist. Anarchist have you ever seen Tool live? They put on one hell of a fucking show. Do not confuse Tool with Linkin Park or Korn or whoever you are because there actually are meanings and things to be interpreted in their music. During their concerts large murals done by Alex Grey are displayed. Look at that man's work and tell me there isn't any meaning behind it. I don't even know where to start with this post and frankly don't want to. Im going to try to refrain from anymore comments after this before I explode from those last few posts.
