tool are one of the best bands to come out in the last ten years. i love their dark edge, their superior music ability and astonishing songwriting ability. unfortunately, for me, i find that each song is a mix of greatness and too much too soon. i find, at times, are more musicians than songwriters. they are without a doubt, great musicians but sometimes i find the drums, when simple and tasteful, are at their best. the guitar chords sing and scream and it is in simplicity that they shine best.
