It's likely that intended it's dissonant for a reason.

i cant stand porcupine tree, so i can see why they may be "overlooked"



and i hardly think because it "syncs" is evidence that it is intentional. Id have to wait till the band has an official statement myself

Tool rarely ever officially addresses these things, and rightfully so. That's part of the appeal I and many others have to Tool, the whole mystique they carry. The depth. Announcing something officially would detract from the experience, I find.

Oh, and I've also yet to see the big deal with Porcupine Tree.

i guess i dont see why it bothers people that i think its bunk :lol:

I love Porcupine Tree <3 IMO they should be selling more albums than Tool.

[QUOTE=Futuro]I love Porcupine Tree <3 IMO they should be selling more albums than Tool.[/QUOTE]
I almost agree with you.

Seriously though, Porcupine Tree does deserve alot more exposure considering their huge discography and great music.

In my book Porcupine Tree ranks number one, as the most consistently good band ever.. Out of the hundreds and hundres of songs Steven has written, only a handfull are plain bad songs...
If you don't see the big deal about them, I sorta feel bad for you, because no other band has provided me with so much great music

/\/\



i can respect that approach. My taste just doesnt encompass them

I guess I should have worded that better.

I've just never given them a good dedicated listen, and that's why I meant "I've [I]yet[/I] to see the big deal".

I like PT but only if I'm in the mood. I usually listen to them if I ever get depressed. Somthing like Glass Arm Shattering or Lightbulb Sun is really uplifting.

I find them very repetitive.

However when i'm in the right mood deadwing/in absentia are great albums. Lightbulb sun is also good but not so much. And i really can't stand signify :-/

I agree with CaC..

Tool aren't ones to publicly announce anything about their music. They may hint, joke, or maybe lie about song meanings or thoughts when recording them. So, if anyone is looking for a booming voice from the sky it's not going to happen.. :lol:

I never really saw the intrigue in Porcupine Tree. To me they were a weird mix of Cold Play and Radiohead...both bands I don't tend to appreciate much..

Sucks for you.

Who else likes PoS in here?

Peice of Sh!t?

Pain of Salvation...

PoS usually does mean Piece of Sh[size=2]it[/size], though, heh.

This is the Tool thread, though, no? PoS (hah) are great by the way.

i listened to the first 1/2 of that "sync" track...


i hardly feel this is conclusive on any level. Interesting? A bit maybe

Once the heavy part comes in, it becomes more convincing.

Well Viginti Tres could go with just about everything but the fact that it's just long enough for WfM to fit and for the heavy parts to match up perfectly is just way too lucky for it to be a coincidence.

Its not like they were written by two different bands. They are both written by Tool so two songs that follow similar structures and length that appear on a album is not the rare, and hardly signify anything.

/is PoS fanboy now! :p

I think the whole sync thing is real, but it will probably never be confirmed by the band.

i listened to half of that "sync" track and had to turn it off. Sounded like crap IMO :lol:

If you didn't get to the heavy part then you're nothing.

Kurrpt wtf. The synch thing is just incredible.

:(

i swear, the more you open your mouth and insert your foot, the less i really take you seriously

I never take you seriously...

/shows Kurrpt the door :lol:

"foot in mouth and head up a$shole, watcha talkin booooutt?!"

i was just stating an opinion. You were the one making closed-minded statements that assumed everything :=/

I was obviously kidding about getting to the heavy part.

considering the frequency of those "type" of responses, I am led to believe that only a percentage of that is "kidding"

[QUOTE=Moses]I was obviously kidding about getting to the heavy part.[/QUOTE]
Although you really should try to listen up to it.

I don't think Kurrpt has downloaded the internet sarcasm patch yet.

i think if you check your records, my sarcasm patch is up to date

Mine has some de-bugging to do...

[QUOTE=Kurrpt]i think if you check your records, my sarcasm patch is up to date[/QUOTE]
oh ok....

/goes and checks records


yep you're in there.

NICE :thumb:


theres some hostility there. Even if it was construed as "sarcasm" or a joke, theres always that hint of truth that is present.

I know, he has tendency to come off like he knows more then anyone on the forums.

thats all im saying boss...



usually when people show sign of immaturity such as these, I really can't take them seriously ya know. If I were, I'd have to infer bad things about that user as a "person" and I try hard not to do just that

I listened to Pain of Salvation for a few minutes and hated it. They sounded to me like a cheesier (yes, it's possible) Symphony X.

Signs of immaturity like never using proper grammar?
