No. My 3 options had nothing to do with understanding or NOT understanding it, nor accessibility (Tool, by all accounts, are fairly accessible really, compared to what's offered outside of the mainstream scene). It had to do with how the mind REACTS to those particular things. Your mind finds little or no satisfaction in what Tool has and DOES offer. Hence you don't likle Tool.
I also tend to think, incidentally, that even though I agree that few people will end up liking Tool much, 99%+ of those who say they are boring etc. have never really listened to their main records a few times through,
all the way through. Maybe one listen at the max., which isn't even enough for Tool
fans to like it much. Of course there are exceptions who have given it a fair go and didn't like it.
