Comment what you will upon Adam Jones, I would agree with you that he doesn't have much guitar talent (although he is very creative art wise). Also Justin Chancellor isn't the uh.. Best. But it's hard to deny the technical proficiency of Danny Carey on drums, and I have no idea how you can not find Maynard's voice orgasmic. It is honestly one of the nicest sounding I've ever heard, not to mention his range. One of the main messages of Tool is to think for yourself, you ever consider that maybe allusions to bogus theories and nonsense are on purpose? Hell, Tool claimed to believe in Lachrymonolgy (or something like that) some bs theory about crying as a therapy, then abruptly stopped mentioning it (the only reference to Lachrymonolgy was made up by Tool).
