Just wondering. I'm completely obsessed with Tool. There are very few of their songs I don't enjoy, but this one is probably my favorite.

I've got kind of a strange relationship with them in that I liked Undertow, really liked Aenima, but for whatever reason I never picked up Lateralus or anything after. They're interesting guys and I always find it fascinating when Maynard or Adam talk Hermeticism, other than that I see them as a tremendous sphere of talent and focus back in the mid 90's who had a particular time and place that their expression touched a nerve in.

I've heard a few songs by them, but never dug deeper. Either way, based on the few songs I heard, they're pretty good.

Not a big fan, but I respect their music video work. Especially Parabola.

I like their first few albums, Lateralus is the last one I paid much attention to though.

Yeah, I love their music videos too. I'm not such a fan of the one for Parabola, though, because I got too attached to the little thing that's killed. I can't watch that part without it bringing tears to my eyes :oops:
