| Top 10 Tool Songs
I enjoy their lengthier, more repetitive songs most I suppose. Tell me your favorite tracks and album(s) in the comments. Albums ranked: Lateralus>Aenima>10,000 Days>Undertow>Opiate | | 10 |  | Tool
10,000 Days
Jambi: Their most influenced by Meshuggah, this features crushing guitar and a wonderfully atmospheric bassline courtesy of heavy reliance on effects. Pretty much tied with Vicarious in quality and an amazing first 15 minutes to their most divisive album yet. | | 9 | | Tool
10,000 Days
The Pot: Tool writing a mainstream rock song??? THOSE SELLOUTS. Couldn't be more wrong. Sure it's short and follows a basic structure, but the bassline is classic Tool, and the drumming's of course technical. The catchy guitar line is effective, and the vocals are great as always. | | 8 |  | Tool
Aenima
H.: One of their underrated tracks, this has a very melodic and interesting sounding bridge. The heavy part afterwards and solo is great too. Also, how could you go wrong with distorted bass intro? | | 7 | | Tool
10,000 Days
Rosetta Stoned: Underrated, and has some of the best instrumental work the band has ever done. Tasty, heavy riffs and technical drumming throughout with a fine bass/guitar solo section followed by a great alternate chorus with amazing singing by Maynard. | | 6 |  | Tool
Lateralus
The Grudge: Definitely the most aggressive song on the album (aside from Ticks & Leeches), this song is driving, loud, and in-your-face. Maynard's scream at the end is one of the most face-melting moments of his singing career. | | 5 | | Tool
Aenima
Forty Six & 2: This song doesn't get enough love in my opinion. Sure, the guitar and bass isn't especially complex, but the drummings phenomenal and probably one of Maynard's best vocal performances. One of the best sections of any Tool song is here too, the last bridge before the falling action. | | 4 | | Tool
Lateralus
Lateralus: Some great guitar riffs from Jones and one of the best examples of Tool's great songwriting, this one's an instant classic. The outro is possibly the best part. | | 3 | | Tool
Aenima
Third Eye: Their first epic, this is one of the heaviest and most grating songs they ever recorded. Experimental, bizarre, and industrial sounding, this song has some of Adam Jones' best guitarwork and passionate vocals from Maynard. | | 2 | | Tool
Lateralus
Reflection: I love the Middle Eastern sound this song has. Probably my favorite Tool guitar line, the bass is equally amazing. The drumming is a complex tribal beat and contributes to how repetitive and hypnotic the song is. Great lyrics too. | | 1 | | Tool
10,000 Days
10,000 Days (Wings Pt. 2): Everything is amazing, the long intro, the atmospheric guitar, the buildup, the amazing bassline, and the beautiful lyrics. Probably their most emotionally resonating song. | |

05.03.14 | No matter how I spell Aenima, with or without the symbol, the pic won't show up :/ | CalculatingInfinity
05.03.14 | 2 is 1 for me, good list. | NordicMindset
05.03.14 | I love every song here except for Rosetta. Needs some aenema and Parabola. | ArsMoriendi
05.03.14 | I've only heard Aenima (the album), and out of that album, the t/t doe it the best for me, but good list I guess. | Artuma
05.03.14 | 5 is 1 but sweet list, got all of my top 5 on here | NordicMindset
05.03.14 | I think I'm the only one who thinks Lateralus the song is slightly overrated. | VisionsFromTheDarkSide
05.03.14 | Completely different to what my list would be but yeah pretty cool. Agree that H. is one of their most underrated | slimdaddy
05.03.14 | I think Lateralus is my least favorite album | YoYoMancuso
05.03.14 | 7 copies 4 in a bunch of parts so no it's not underrated | Friday13th
05.03.14 | Ticks and Leeches is more aggressive than The Grudge, though the latter is my favorite Tool song. | TalonsOfFire
05.03.14 | Oh, yeah I always forget about that one even though its amazing | chambered99
05.03.14 | 1 is prob 1 gj | ValarMorghulis

05.28.14 | [2] | Syne
05.28.14 | vicarious | Uranium
05.28.14 | rosetta stoned is basically an epiphany inducer | LambsBread
05.28.14 | Cool list my friend loves these guys and I've never heard them I'll check these songs out | SirDrumsalot
05.28.14 | I disagree.
But they are all great songs! | ValarMorghulis
05.28.14 | LambsBread Listen to Aenima or Lateralus | NordicMindset
05.28.14 | Aenmia forst | TheHamburgerman
05.28.14 | Interesting. Tool favs are usually quite different among the fans, but this list is quite on par with mine. I might change the order a little bit and change 1, 6 and 9 for The Patient, Right in Two and Pushit. I like it that H. finally got a top 10 spot. Song is much better than shit like Ticks & Leeches. | altertide0
05.25.15 | Give me a dollar for every Tool, GY!BE or Deftones list and I'm a happy guy. | PurpleDino
05.25.15 | Didn't think someone would share my 1, and for all the same reasons.
props. | someguest
05.25.15 | I'm just glad you have "Rosetta Stoned" here. | chinesewhispers
05.25.15 | vicarious [2] | Royl123
05.25.15 | damn I really need to jam 10,000 days... | chinesewhispers
05.25.15 | Yeah you def do tho it's prolly their most polarizing | Egarran
05.25.15 | "Today, a young man on acid realized that all matter is merely energy condensed to a slow vibration—that we are all one consciousness experiencing itself subjectively. There is no such thing as death, life is only a dream, and we're the imagination of ourselves. Here's Tom with the weather." - Bill Hicks | chinesewhispers
05.25.15 | Respect to Bill Hicks but he's overrated af | Egarran
05.25.15 | You take that back, chinese!
"You see, I think drugs have done some good things for us. I really do. And if you don't believe drugs have done good things for us, do me a favor. Go home tonight. Take all your albums, all your tapes and all your CDs and burn them. 'Cause you know what, the musicians that made all that great music that's enhanced your lives throughout the years were rrrrrrreal fucking high on drugs." | altertide0
05.25.15 | Hicks was an allright speaker but he wasn't really funny. (imo). I liked Carlin a lot more. | alwaysright
05.25.15 | I see you're a fan of 10,000 days
| TalonsOfFire
05.27.15 | It deserves a higher average, isn't too far off in terms of quality from their previous two | chinesewhispers
05.27.15 | ^Agreed 10k go hard |
