Go listen to Lateralus.
I agree with both of you. Tool are overblown, pompous, aloof, self-indulgent etc, but I (still) like them alot. Not as much of a fanboy as I was 15+ years ago mind. I think they suffer from a fanbase of overly-earnest schoolboys mixed liberally with overly-pumped jocks/meatheads.
Then again, thinking about, aren't BOC a little pompous and aloof too? And isn't some of BOC's music a little self-indulgent? And aren't we all fanboys who over-analyse the work they create? I know I am.
Pots and kettles maybe? Then again, I love both bands so I guess that makes me twice as bad.

Dude! Seriously. If you leave comments like that you'll just start it all up again.

Don't go trying to crowbar Toploader into the conversation Wyn, please. I know you're a big fan, but show some dignity

now i realize i'm only adding an extra layer to this, but:
you're making a post about tool,
to tell someone who made a post about tool,
to stop making posts about tool.
just fucking drop it. i don't mean to be harsh. go here or something.
even though i left on a "i'm gonna take my mind off of this new-BoC blather for a bit" post earlier, i can't quit hoping for the next release. my posters and CDs and records keep reminding me that something should be here soon, or so i once thought
