MotoOnSputnik
03.21.15 | Hmmm, something tells me you either haven't listened to them enough or listened to them when you were in a terrible mood Ryus. Give them all another chance some time I'm sure you'll change your opinion. |
Ryus
03.21.15 | oh trust me i've heard them plenty of times
i just don't love tool that much except for lateralus lol |
demigod!
03.21.15 | aenima is my fav by a longshot |
MotoOnSputnik
03.21.15 | What is it that you don't like about Aenima specifically? |
MotoOnSputnik
03.21.15 | Aenima has everything. It isn't as well-executed as Lateralus, but there's almost nothing to dislike about it IMO |
MotoOnSputnik
03.21.15 | It has catchy radio-friendly music, long-winded softer songs, and aggressive angry songs. It's probably the best album to start on for people looking into Tool because it has elements of all of their albums in it at some point. |
wwf
03.21.15 | this is basically exactly what I think |
Flugmorph
03.21.15 | That ranking is obviously true. One of the easyest acts to rank tbh hahaha |
MotoOnSputnik
03.21.15 | Yea I agree Flug. |
chinesewhispers
03.21.15 | If 3 didn't have so much filler it'd be 1 for me
But since it does it's 2. |
MotoOnSputnik
03.21.15 | There's more filler in Aenima than there is in 10,000 days |
chemicalmarriage
03.21.15 | Good list |
TalonsOfFire
03.21.15 | Exact same ranking and ratings as I haha, good job |
IronGiant
03.22.15 | yeah rankings pretty agreeable, but the more I listen to 10000 days the more I like it over Aenema... if only Rosetta Stoned didn't have god awful lyrics tsk tsk |
Ryus
03.22.15 | "What is it that you don't like about Aenima specifically?"
boring riffs, overlong, boring songs. Sounds like middle-of-the-road hard rock to me without much interesting experimentation and useless interludes |
Wubs
03.22.15 | 10,000 days is actually my fav |
MotoOnSputnik
03.22.15 | WAT IRONGIANT TAKE THAT BACK U FUCK ROSETTA STONED IS THE BEST SONG ON THAT ALBUM BY FAR LOL |
MotoOnSputnik
03.22.15 | Woah Ryus confirmed on drugs BTW |
MotoOnSputnik
03.22.15 | Boring hard rock is three days grace. NOT Aenima by fucking Tool |
Wubs
03.22.15 | Yea the aggressive heavy riff shouting songs get kinda boring |
YakNips
03.22.15 | tool more like school |
YakNips
03.22.15 | cause thats how boring they are LMAOOOooO |
Wubs
03.22.15 | I gotta say Aenema has probably the funniest concepts and metaphors |
Muppelope
03.22.15 | I thought Tool was supposed to sound better on drugs anyway. |
Wubs
03.22.15 | true |
MotoOnSputnik
03.22.15 | Wubs I've listened to Aenima and Lateralus dozens of times each and every time I listen to them again I hear something I'd never heard before. There's nothing boring about them |
MotoOnSputnik
03.22.15 | Also that's BS Mupple |
Relinquished
03.22.15 | it's not bs |
MotoOnSputnik
03.22.15 | Yes it is |
twlight
03.22.15 | ranking is right, but 10,000 days is at most a 4/5, more realistically a 3.5 |
MotoOnSputnik
03.22.15 | They aren't "supposed" to sound better on drugs. That makes it sound like they intended for their fans to be stoned while listening, which is BS |
Muppelope
03.22.15 | Hey man, I wouldn't know, I just heard they were. |
Wubs
03.22.15 | Well I've over listened to them from my high school stoner years and the heavier aggressive side of tool doesn't capture my interest as much. I give 10,000days a 5/5 though |
Muppelope
03.22.15 | That's not exactly what I meant when I said "supposed." If it were, I'd have said intended. |
Relinquished
03.22.15 | tool does sound better stoned
it doesn't matter if the band intended for the music to be enhanced while influenced. moto don't be stupid. |
MotoOnSputnik
03.22.15 | Well those words mean the same thing in that context lol. All I know is the people who say Tool is meant to be listened to while stoned are morons |
MotoOnSputnik
03.22.15 | Relinquished I said it was BS because I thought he meant it was intended. Either way whether they're better or worse on drugs is up to opinion of the listener |
Muppelope
03.22.15 | Anyway, love tool, good ranking. There are days I'd switch 3 and 4, but overall the same as mine. |
MotoOnSputnik
03.22.15 | Sorry if I offended, like I said I thought you meant they intended it that way and were basically calling them a stoner band, which they really aren't. |
Wubs
03.22.15 | Nah u obviously don't need drugs for it, joking about that bit |
Relinquished
03.22.15 | sounds like you don't smoke |
Wubs
03.22.15 | What does it matter? |
Relinquished
03.22.15 | what does it not matter? |
evilford
03.22.15 | 2 is 1 |
Wubs
03.22.15 | Nah i just stick to meth ay |
Relinquished
03.22.15 | i hope so |
MotoOnSputnik
03.22.15 | It gets talked about plenty honestly. Most people include Opiate in their discography rather than just passing it off as an EP and starting with Udertow |
Wubs
03.22.15 | Id agree with that |
Funeralopolis
03.22.15 | lateralus 5/5
10,000 days 4.3/5
aenima 3.5/5
undertow 3/5 |
MotoOnSputnik
03.22.15 | No it isn't fromtheinside, but I do love it |
NordicMindset
03.22.15 | switch 1 and 2 |
MotoOnSputnik
03.22.15 | They're about equal songwriting and quality-wise, but Lateralus is a more focussed and fully realized album Green Baron |
NordicMindset
03.22.15 | Aenima is just the perfect blend of anger, passion and progressive. There's no song quite like the title track. |
JWT155
03.22.15 | I think Aenima is more well rounded but Lateralus is an experience from beginning to end. |
MotoOnSputnik
03.22.15 | Well aenima has more meat to it and more variety in he sound but it isnt as well crafted. Also aenima the song is only like their 8th or 9th best |
Wubs
03.22.15 | Well it has third eye and thats like one of my favs |
