There one of my favorites, even to this day. Voodoo U and Farstucker albums especially. But yeah...kinda a guilty pleasure. I don't try to introduce people to them, and they can be sorta embarrassing with how x-rated they are. I'd definitely blush if I played that album loudly around someone that hadn't heard it.

I don't know what it is about it, but it annoys the living crap out of me.

I sometimes just buy albums cause I like the Artwork, and sometimes I postpone listening to others cause their cover's lame.

I don't have a nomination for worst, though I've seen some pretty awful ones in this thread as it is.

Tool's 10,000 Days where you can look through the little eyeholes at the 3D images. I don't care if you think it's gimmicky or over-the-top, I think it's awesome.

Incorporating visual arts into their music isn't pretentious.

I've said this millions of times. Most of Tool's fans are pretentious morons. Tool themselves are not pretentious IMO.
