I absolutely love TOOL...I always tell people, that they are perhaps the only band out there, where I've liked just about every song on every CD. I honestly can't say that about many of my other favs. Metallica, Pantera, Dream Theater & on & on....all are bigtime favorites of mine....but I can't honestly say that I listen to every tune on their CDs. Usually between 50-60% of the tracks on a given CD for any of them.
With TOOL, I tend to like just about all of it...front to back.

The part that sucks though, is that I can not seem to ever mimic their vibe worth a squat. LOL They've got that dark, raw, edge of reckless type of style that sounds totally off the cuff, yet is still incredibly tight. Tough to effectively copy...I hear a lot of people try...but most just don't quite pull it off completely or convincingly.
