yeah, im not a metal fan by any means, but tool is just too damn good. they are kinda mainstream, but every now and then a really good band can have fans.


i would compair this rearrangment now that ive listened to it WAY too many times to pink flyods dark side of the moon. out of order it just sounds wrong now. theres a whole mathimatical reasoning behind the rearrangment (simple version: 6+7=13 8+5=13 9+4=13 etc.) which coensides with other patterns found throughout the album. (the syllabols of singing in lateralus is the feminacci(sp?) sequence(1,1,2,3,5,8,13) as are some of the drum beats. there are hints of spirals (back to old thought: which if you graphed the feminacci sequence you'd get the golden spiral) in lyrics.

their music is more than just semi-simple guitar riffs and weird beats, everything is placed for a reason and for a band whos songs average about 8 mins i give them the for being able to basically stop me from listneing to much other music.
