Well for those who don't know TOOL, I wouldn't do them justice to speak my humble opinion about them. They are a genre in itself and probably the best band out there today.

I respect their writing on the emotional and expressional side of things. I just don't like their instrumentation, it's rather boring.

 

 

 

It was boring to me to at first but let me quote some sentenses from a Belgian review of their album Lateralus, which includes 2 of the songs that will be in the new Guitar Hero:

" 'long-winded, inconsistent, dissapointing', is what we wrote down the first time we heard Lateralus. Approximately about the third listening we wrote: 'cryptic, intriguing, headstrong'. And now we've listened to Lateralus a dozen times and now we say 'addicting, epic, nothing less than brilliant'. Just to say, Lateralus isn't an easy album to get into."

And that says it all right there, you really have to delve yourself into their music and make an effort to dig deeper, be patient and you will be rewarded. They take 5 years to create a new album and what you get in return is trully unique and unparalelled.

 



Think for yourself, question authority
