Hawks, you don't have a rating for this? I feel like these guys could compete against BTBAM for "worst band of all time" in your book lol

I've never jammed a full album from them because they definitely compete with BTBAM for worst band ever.

I like some Tool tracks but I couldn't even get through the 1st song here. Fart sniffing energy

“Wouldn't be surprised if it took 5 more years tho tbh“ Danny would be 70 years old. not saying it won’t happen, but given the band’s history with putting out new work, and their respective ages, i tend to think this is likely the last full length they’ll ever put out. would be sick if im wrong tho

It's definitely a bit stinky but a lot in a positive nostalgic way--like catching wafts of cow manure while driving by a field when you grew up on a ranch or something.

I listened to this album too many times when it came out. I feel like theres nothing left to find here. Whereas I still somehow hear new stuff in Lateralus after listening to it for like, 20 years or whatever.

it's 2026 and Hawks still doesn't get the best band to ever exist

But he can get the 300 new albums he jams every year on first listen

Band sucks agreed. The hostility over someone not liking every band you like is actually funny lmao.

Even the most solid of lads can have wild opinions haha. I completely get someone not liking tool but idk man "one of the worst" just does not compute. The musicianship of tool alone is something to respect and keeps them no where close to a worst bands pick even if your not found of the music.

Sometimes the odious cloud from all the fart-sniffing is too much for even the mightiest of listeners. I think 75% of the band is incredibly talented who have written some incredible music over the years. But I can also understand the universal glazing can become unbearable and you just hate'em as a reactionary response.

Most obvious = less memorable
Besides, you don’t make shit jokes about Periphery too often
