    id say QOTSA to an extent. they definately challenge you. at least on the newest one.


    Totally agree.

    QOTSA challenge you is an understatement.

    And it only took 4 posts for Tool to get bashed. That was fast.

    That pretentiously named band that's something to do with liking trains is a case in point. They're to Godspeed!, etc, what an artist such as Tracey Emin is to Marcel Duchamp

    Can I assume you're a Magma fan?

    Yay for QOTSA and Tool!

    The Mars Volta, I do like...but they seem to just be expanding their velocity of playing or the number of sounds going on. Their music writing actually really progressing at this point, not so much. But I must add, their new drummer is an absolute freak.

    I actually like Tool, to an extent. They are good at what they do. But what they do is very limited. It certainly doesn't push musical boundaries. And they haven't grown a single bit since their first album. I always find that sad.
    It makes much more sense to live in the present tense.

    You think between Undertow and say, Lateralus, that Tool has not grown musically? Uhhhhh........

    Not in the slightest. I own all their albums and have listened to them quite a bit. Every Tool song sounds just like every other Tool song.

    I'm not sure how you figure that. If you said 10 000 days is somewhat of a repetition I'd give you some credit, but there is a lot of change from Opiate to Lateralus.

    This is how you remind me of an av-er-age band
    me and some dudes I used to jam with used to parody that...it's really the only word that fits. It was around the release of that song so their suckness hadn't completely sunk in....back when they'd only written that song once.

    You can assume whatever you like ;)

    Tool pushes musical boundaries? How? How does making essentially the same song and same album over and over push any boundaries?

    agree totally. not so much about them making the same song over and over. but they definitely do the same BORING bullshit on every album

    I can't believe mention of the new b-52's album hasn't popped up on this thread. The pirates of juke box money are pushing musical boundaries....like nickel back pushed them over a cliff and elbow dropped them from 30k feet...

    Tool? Give me a fucking break.

    Now I'm a massive Soundgarden fanboy but credit where its due-these guys were always progressive. I am yet to hear a band sound like them (maybe QOTSA to some extent) or use guitar driven rock so innovatively and get so much complexity out of a relatively simple band set-up. These boys pushed the boundaries with new tunnings and time signatures and neither one of their last three albums sounds alike. I really think they were going somewhere amazing.

    Great band indeed :)


    Now these are some genuine boundary pushing bands.
