Ok, I think I have the right of one VS thread...which in my opinion makes more sense since both bands are really great and to some extent similar in their style(and share the same singer).
I am interested to hear people's opinions. We are not to discover the ultimate truth, cuz there is not such a thing...for sure.
My opinion is that if we judge the bands from the prospective of which had a greater impact on modern rock, I would definitely choose Tool.
However their music is somewhat too overwhelming for me. Let's say that I find it difficult to eat some pizza while listening to Schism, for example. In this respect I find APC much more universal without loosing its artistic value which in my opinion is quite difficult to achieve.
SO, what do you think?
