I just want to make it clear that I wasn't the one who made arguments based on Tool receiving awards. Arguments based on that are stupid.

I personally think Tool are incredibly cinematic and creative. Especially how they aim to combine the visual arts with their music, with their video clips made by Adam Jones and their collaboration with Alex Grey. I definitely think their music is a lot deeper than "Christianity is bad" (that made me laugh) but rather explores the concept of spirituality, existence, the collective consciousness, all that kind of stuff. I'm not saying that they're revolutionary or anything, but I do believe a lot of their songs do hold great meaning.

This is just my personal opinion, and obviously we disagree, but I think Tool are fantastic musicians who are profound, technical, clever, interesting, and creative. I enjoy the length of their songs and never get bored or think they are monotonous. Like I said up there ^^, as a musician myself I just really appreciate the technicality, difficulty, and creativity of their music.
