I've realised how little you'll like Nuclear War, so can I just push my other Rec up instead and forgot the Sun Ra? Probably for the best!

Exactly I always put it in the art-rock and experimental rock categories instead of labeling it as metal/prog-metal.

i wouldnt call Tool boring, its just their sound that grates on me. i can listen and enjoy them in short bursts (The Pot and Schism are v good) but their albums just dont do much for me.

theyre not bad but not great either imo

It's been a year since my last attempt, so I might try again.
Which Tool album would be a good start for me? (fan of prog/experimental, not fan of metal/alternative)

Probably Opiate or 10,000 Days. I wouldn't say Tool is very experimental though, their rock roots stand out on all of their albums.

Ænima has always been my favorite by far. It has the most metal influence, but I also think it's their most experimental (that's not really saying all that much though).

I know it's unfair and I feel like a dick saying it like that, but Tool sound to me like Nickelback probably sound to a rock fan.
I tried again and just... I'm with TH on this one.
