It truly is an experience on its own. I saw them at Bonnaroo 2007 and as I was wandering the "streets" of the festival, all that was going through my head was "Learn to swim, learn to swim, learn to swim .. " I was lost, but it felt great.

I just want to say more I listen to them, more I like it

I should spend more time with all lyrics but for now my favourite songs seem to be:
Reflection, Schism, 10 000 days, Third Eye and Forty Six & 2.

Nice. "Schism" still gives me goosebumps sometimes.

I don't believe Tool has a Myspace. They're kind of control freaks over the distribution of their music, I don't even believe you can buy their music as MP3s online, you have to order the actual CD.

I'm not surprised. Though, I can't say I mind...their artwork has been some of the best. I mean...who can beat 3d glasses with 10000 Days? Only artwork that I has come close as far as how much thought was put into it is Of Montreal with Skeletal Lamping or Kaki King's Dreaming of Revenge.

Alex Grey's art and imagary is a big part of the "Tool Experiance"

Love that they put the thought and money into their packaging.

I found one MySpace which seems to be official but it's without music.

Tool on MySpace Music - Free Streaming MP3s, Pictures & Music Downloads

Nevermind, they don't need MySpace

Dang, Tool is pretty much my favorite band right now. I can't find one bad song of theres. As a bassist I look up to Justin Chancellor, he is absolutley sick. Maynards lyrics have so much meaning behind them that it delves into your subconscious and makes you rethink everything about yourself. I dont know many lyricists like that.
