I guess I like Tool more than I thought.
Anyway, what are your favorite Tool songs? I'm sure we can all come up with reasons, this is Tool we are talking about after all, where fans get obsessed trying to evaluate what each song means. I'll profess and say that I'm not a huge Tool fan, or even really a fan at all, but I still think they have some REALLY good songs (despite some of their fan base being....fanatical, and the fact that I think Maynard can be a douche). I find their albums as a whole inconsistent, with Aenima and 10,000 Days being the worse offenders. But Undertow and especially Lateralus are far more consistent.
Undertow is probably my second "favorite" Tool album and I find it to be inconsistent, but it also has some great Alternative Metal songs like Prison Sex, Sober, and Swamp Song. Ditto for songs like Bottom and Crawl Away.
Aenima is probably my least favorite Tool album, but Forty Six @ 2 stands out in a big way. Not a fan of Aenima overall.
Lateralus is probably my favorite Tool album. From Lateralus, Parabol/Parabola is probably my favorite Tool song, personally, with the Grudge going neck to neck with it. Ticks and Leeches and Schism are both fan favorite, and for good reasons. I'm not a fan of the title track, though. Never know why people go nuts over it.
10,000 Days.....I'm not a big fan of this album, but Jambi is one of my favorite Tool songs. Excellent main riff, and the solo is really compelling.
