yeah, i too listened to tool before i did any drugs.  i was a late bloomer with drugs..didn't smoke weed until i was 17.

after i tripped for the first time though i thought i understood their music and lyrics a lot more.

i listened to lateralus yesterday.  good album
but nothing mind blowing for me.  prolly a 7
out of 10.  definitely great musicians but i am
not a fan of maynard's vocals.  i think that if i
listen to these guys some more it'll grow on
me and i'll become a bigger fan but for now
i'll just listen to aenima and take it from there.

thanks for all the recommendations guys.

To me all music requires a decent amount of listening before it starts to really grow on me. At the very least tool has some great tracks among their work. For instance the song reflection is probably one of my very favorite songs ever, its soooooo good

yeah, tool definitely tempted and beckoned me into psychedelics. particularly Schism. that song, when you really get down to it, both contextually and music/structure-wise is just purely trippy. and i mean that in the best way possible!

I used to not really like that track, it might have been its radio play and stuff that made me not really listen to it and overlook it somehow. But damn lately I have been listening to that song a lot, the rhythms are so cool, careys drum work at the climax is awesome
