The only downside with Tool is that it takes 5 years to make an album.
Downside? Nah. They have a method to their madness. I'd rather get a master piece every once in a while instead of an average album every year or two.

Yep, definitely agree.

I really wish we'd get some sort of update on how the new album is going. Or at least, you know, them telling us they are working on it.
I felt its length in quite a few places.

They have just toured Australia and I saw them two weeks ago. Not sure if they're doing that much with a new album yet.

Lateralus and Aenima are already enough to make them one of the best bands ever.

Aenima never really clicked for me, but both Lateralus and 10000 Days are fantastic.  :tup

Aenima's the longest an album's ever taken to click with me, but it's also the biggest payoff for perseverance I've had EVER.

The song 10,000 Days is the greatest example of this. The climax of that song is easily my favourite moment in music ever. Ever. Of all time.

My favourite moment in music is the pause at the beginning of the final riff of Lateralus, where after every instrument's been going batshit insane for a few minutes it drops out to just the guitar doing that simple but somehow mindblowing riff by itself for a few seconds, before everything crashes back in with an explosion and it's the best thing ever hyperbole but true.

Am I the only who finds Undertow (album) just a little boring? Also, my favorite Tool moment is that riff in The Patient, you all probably know what I am talking about, also "AND IM PRAAYING FOR RAIN...".

Funny how Lateralus (the song) only just clicked with me now. Used to think it was just an average song, now it's my second favourite next to 10 000 Days.

I agree with whoever said Undertow is pretty boring. I just can't listen to it all the way through, even though I admire 4 Degrees.
