DooMBoy Posted February 3, 2004 My fave so far is uh, um....dammit, it's a mix between Aenima and Lateralus. 0 Share this post Link to post
Remilia Scarlet Posted February 3, 2004 I've only heard Aenima, so we'll say that one. 0 Share this post Link to post
Johnatone Posted February 3, 2004 Mer de Noms...wait... :P Actually, I've only heard Aenima and Lateralus, and Aenima is the album I first heard and still consider the better of the two, but Lateralus is still good...damn it, why do I gotta choose favorites?! :P 0 Share this post Link to post
Liam Posted February 3, 2004 undertow, although i would've said differently during the weeks after lateralus' release. 0 Share this post Link to post
Sharessa Posted February 3, 2004 I dunno, toss up between Lateralus and Aenima. Aenima has all those damn filler tracks, but the first half of Lateralus (well up until Parabol/Parabola) pretty much sucked. Other than that, the songs on both albums were total sex. Reflection is my favorite tool song of all time. 0 Share this post Link to post
AndrewB Posted February 3, 2004 I heard about Tool, looked a bit into him, and I felt completely disillusioned when I found out he wasn't actually a real tool. 0 Share this post Link to post
Quast Posted February 3, 2004 Undertow rough, raw & loud...good bass guitar too 0 Share this post Link to post
Lord FlatHead Posted February 3, 2004 I've never been heavy into Tool, but I have been playing Parabola a lot lately. So Lateralus, I guess. All this pain is an illusion. 0 Share this post Link to post

LorD BaZTArD Posted February 3, 2004 Tool sucks. I can't stand maynards moaning, and the music drives me up the wall, no thanks to my brother who would turn his stereo up to full volume with all of his Tool Albums in the CD tray and leave the house. While I was asleep. Fucking pissed me off no end, It's pretty much why I can't stand tool. On the other hand though, and quite strange, is the fact that I don't mind A Perfect Circle at all. Infact a couple of APC songs are really good. It pisses me off no end when people decide to be helpful and point out "But Maynard is in APC" I mean, really? How did I discover APC then? Pisses me off no end. Sorry, I'm in a bit of a bad mood atm. 0 Share this post Link to post
sirjuddington Posted February 3, 2004 I'm not the biggest Tool fan, but Undertow is a decent album. 0 Share this post Link to post
Szymanski Posted February 3, 2004 I liked the song Sober, and thats about as far as it goes. 0 Share this post Link to post
EarthQuake Posted February 3, 2004 Undertow and Opiate are very different from Lateralus and Aenima IMO. They are still good, but very different. [The former are] sort of old school if you will. The newer Tool is more reflective and meaningful. I'm not sure which I like better, but since Sober is my all time favorite song by Tool, and considering I have 3 other all-time Tool favorites on same CD, I'd have to go with Undertow. ^_^ EDIT: Oh yea, Opiate was a fucking joke. $14.99 for six fucking tracks. But, heh, that hidden track is teh funney ;) I had a friend once he took some acid Now he thinks he's a fire engine It's okay until he pisses on your lighter Kinda smells kinda cool kinda funny anyway satan, satan, satan... I had a friend once he took some ecstasy Tried to marry me and every one in the room He was sort of loving kinda caring, kinda tried to fuck my lazy boy It got a bit messy all over the curtains, arm chair covers, throw pillows, and carpeting satan, satan, satan... I'm getting bored again... 0 Share this post Link to post

Reflection is my favorite tool song of all time. Heh, I liked pretty much all the songs on Lateralus, especially The Grudge and The Patient, two of the best ever Tool songs. I also really liked Disposition for some reason. 0 Share this post Link to post
Psyonisis Posted February 3, 2004 Opiate is my favourite EP, but Aenima is my favourite Tool album overall. The only thing I don't like about it is the filler tracks, which take up 1/3 of the cd. Argh 0 Share this post Link to post
Little Faith Posted February 3, 2004 Right around Lateralus I was a bit in doubt wither Lataralus was better than Aenima. As I look back, however I like Aenima more. I like Aenima for this whole beefy mood it conjures forth when listening to it in it's entirety. I do really like some of Lateralus' track though. My favourite must be Disposition. 0 Share this post Link to post

Uncle 80 Posted February 4, 2004 Not a big TooL fan myself either, but Opiate and Ænima are both good. Opiate has a good drive, but lacks the dynamics of Ænima, so which one is the favourite dependes on the mood, really. 0 Share this post Link to post

Rellik Posted February 5, 2004 I have no problems thinking tool is a great band while simultaneously thinking they're full of shit. I don't care about anything but if I find the sound emitted from the speakers pleasant. 0 Share this post Link to post

Yes, I've read both that and the Radiohead reviews and possibly a couple others. They are wrong on very many points. They're either just trying to piss people off or they're stupid. 0 Share this post Link to post
