    I don't really know what to say to this...I mean...frontmen set the style of the band. He writes the bulk of the lyrics and the sets the tone for each of the songs. Do you think many write the music first and then the lyrics (yes...I know some do)...typically one write music with a particular rhythm in mind then writes/develops the music...so, I would have to say his role in the "music" is incredibly significant.


    Regardless of whether he writes a joke song, or a song that is serious, Tool's sound stays constant.

    Adam Jones is a one trick pony, just like Angus Young or Tom Morello.

    Wow! I'm kind of surprised Tool doesn't get more respect around here. Considering all the shit music out there I try to embrace bands with integrity regardless if their last album topped the previous one or not. To each his own though... Cheers

    10, 000 days is actually a pretty good album..its pretty hard to top their previous work, but its still fairly good when you give it a chance.

    IMO Tool should call it quits though...their conceptual music and art style isn't "normal" enough to be putting stuff out all the time. Its just too cerebral and artsy. And I think band's should age gracefully and branch out as artists. If they are singing "stinkfist" or "prison sex" when they are well into their late 40's and 50's it'll just seem silly.

    Tool as an idea, a concept, and a band has done all it can do I think.

    Tool will release another album that sounds EXACTLY like Lateralus and 10,000 Days

    Every Tool fan will rejoice at how "diverse they still are", and claim anyone that doesn't like it simply "doesn't get it" or "has a short attention span"

    ...or "they're just a little prick."

    open up your ears people. experience tool.
    Beavis: All my friends are brown and red? What does that mean?
    Butthead: It means that his friends are like turds and that they like suck.
    Beavis: Heh heh. Oh yeah. Yeah! Get those spoons out of my face before I shove them up your butt!
    Butthead: Huh huh.
