They are quite overrated in my opinion. Although they are talented, the songs are boring and repetitive.

Quite repetitive, and their songs are way too long with not much happening. That being said, they were one of my gateway bands, so I'll always like them.

He'll probably say something about our age and the music of today being the reason we dont like Tool. Sorry, but age has nothing to do with preference.

same but bands I truly care about are mostly from the 90's and onward. Easier to relate to them.

Eh, I like some older stuff like Def Leapord and Bon Jovi but most of what I listen to is from the late 90's and 2000s. But I know plenty of people my age who hate my type of music but love AC/DC, Poison, Metallica, and that type of stuff.

i don't care if you listen the "music of today," I just figured that you hadn't grown up listening to Tool. Its the same with most people. It goes without saying that band's fans will be largely made up of those people who grew up or started listening to them earlier on. I'm of course generalizing and this doesn't apply to brilliant bands that are uber-famous.

I like tool alot. I am 20 by the way. Also, you guys who dislike tool which albums have you listened to? I like there newer ones like aenima, lateralus, and 10,000 days much more than their older stuff. I have listed to lots of other progressive metal as well and still find Tool awesome.

Ahem, I probably should have worded that post a bit differently. I was talking about band threads not Tool threads. My mistake, and yes everyone is entitled to their opinions, that wasn't what I meant exactly.

well i wouldnt go into a "tool appreciation" thread and say that i dont like them, because thats not the point of the thread. but "what you guys think of tool" seems to be open to discussion on both sides of the fence. anyway, tool are pretty average. most songs just build up tension one way and then release it with a breakdown-type deal. the general attitude of the band and the way many of their fans hype them as the second coming dont help much though.

It's bound to happen. I mean even the Beatles have not sold billion records so that means most of the world dislikes them. That's how I look at things when I feel outnumbered.

Not everyone is going to like the same music. Why is it necessary that the world revere Tool? They are just another band they have fans, and there are those that aren't fans. I've listened to Tool. I find the music boring and repetitive no matter what album.

I like their long songs. It lets me throw it on the speakers while I do other stuff (posting, gaming, etc) and I dont have to worry about changing songs too often.

Yes....by far the fan base for those bands gets a bit extreme when faced with opposition to the music.

I'm going to add that if a person doesn't like a band, they won't even listen to the other albums by the band, so saying that is pointless.

We're not asking them to "revere" the band, just recognize them and actually listen to some of their albums before saying they dont like them.
