Tool have some of the heaviest music moments I've ever heard as well

Like usually when I try to listen to Tool, I appreciate their style but also find myself wishing that there was just something more to their songs, somehow.
I guess I especially find the guitar playing a bit too samey across the songs.
I don't think there's any way forward for me except just playing this as background music until it sticks.

The first Malmsteen album gets my vote. It's twaddle, but in a fun way.

Yeah, I get what you mean. I think they've got a good sound and do it really well, but they can get repetitive. I think it works for them, though I can see how that repetition would annoy some. The fanboys probably really damage other people's experience getting into them.

I get the sense that their music is supposed to be "hypnotic" or something, but it feels a little too mechanical for me in a way. Like Meshuggah. But unlike with Meshuggah, I do like several elements of Tool. They've got a cool sound and some songs that I quite like and I think Maynard is a good singer. I'm just not really clicking with them overall.

I feel like the first A Perfect Circle album fleshes Tool out into something more my style.

Somehow grew to be one of my favorite metal bands.

The Agonist - The Gates of Horn and Ivory

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zdxEPOcuTF8

The Agonist - My Witness, Your Victim

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=adsMMQvd9a8
So many good riffs in this song.

The Agonist - Dance Macabre

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y1--pTLaVBc
Perfect! Love this one from the first second to the last. So many cool details in the drumming and such a well put together song progression. The riffs are so varied in this band as well. And full of color. Definitely reaches beyond the usual bag of tricks for similar bands.
