Look, I get why people might like Tool. They're doing interesting stuff, but it just isn't my thing. Also, it's sooooo long.

Vad är det för en fool som tycker han är cool samtidigt som han drool och väljer ytterligare en platta med Tool? Helst så skulle jag vilja knuffa i dig i en pool eller slå dig i huvudet med en stool.

vom. 99% chance of 1. it wasnt as bad as all hat but I'm still not really here for it.

One can see the appeal even if one doesn’t dig in the least, which presumably makes one a Tool hater, a position one understands more readily (indeed instinctively) than the pro-Tool view. Does not need to be on list proper.

Ugh. More tool

I don't think I like Tool? Or at the very least, this album. Which is weird, because most of my life I've thought "yeah, Tool is good," but I've never listened to much outside of Schism, and I never really wanted to. But today marks a start into another controversial opinion of mine, because I find this album to be overly long, somewhat full of itself, and rarely kind of gross. I get what it's going for, and I can see the start of that more progressive metal sound leaking through, but this album shares more DNA with acts I couldn't care less about than anything interesting. I already know almost the rest of their discography is in the user albums, so that'll be fun, but maybe it'll make me see something in them as we go on. But this one is a bit of a stinker.

I’ve tried with Tool a few times but it always feels like an effort. I just don’t find any joy here at all.

But for me

Metal.

Just bland and boring.

June 20, 2025 HL: "Forty Six & 2", "jimmy", title track I'm about to say the worst thing I've said in my whole life... I don't care much for Tool. There's a part of my brain that shows up for the tangled time signatures and interesting atmospheres, but the rest is like TV static. Just like zero emotion going on up there. I do think I appreciated it more than 10000 Days, as songs like the title track & "Third Eye" may have upped my heartrate just a tad. 2.5 for now

Not what I thought but not what I wanted

I am not a tool fan

Was this submitted as a piss take? As if 90+ minutes of Spose wasn't terrible enough this follows it & is another of level of bad altogether.
