>tfw starting to like the Tool
its just the tryhard fags saying tool sucks because tools fans are pretty shitty. like what you like my man
Tool is better than a lot of /mu/core. For example, Tool is better than:
>AnCo
>Death Grips
>Joanna Newsom
>Grimes
>Grizzly Bear
>Bright Eyes
>Crystal Castles
Just to name a few. Literally nothing wrong with liking Tool.
>>64059510
lad tool may be underrated on mu but they're not even close to joanna newsom level
I used to like tool but I can't listen to them anymore, too boring
>not liking based tool

i wouldn't call myself a tool fan, but i enjoy their music
>>64058465
Tool is good it's their fans that suck. Learn the difference you fucking idiot.
>>64059677
Well, you may like Joanna Newsom better. But my point is that, considering some of the absolute garbage people on this board listen to, I think it's ridiculuous how much hate a band like Tool gets here.
>>64058465
>liking tool at all
>>64059794
>he can't make his mind up for himself
>>64059785
Yeah look at all this hate
>>64059352
>>64059677
>>64059706
>>64059715
>>64059762
/mu/ definitely hates tool
>>64059817
>/mu/ is one person
>>64059785
none of that stuff is garbage though, a lot of /mu/core is overrated but solid, which is exactly what Tool is
Newsom is god tier though
WHY
DON'T
YOU
KIDS
LIKE
THE
TOOL
>>64059785
yeah tool is the best "prog metal" (people will contest both those terms applying to tool but you know what I mean anyway) band that i've heard. they've got some really good shit.
also a large number of the people who loathe tool for being pretentious are almost always in every single case pretentious fucks themselves.
>>64059806
>he can't listen to something better
>>64059848
actually I missed Crystal Castles and Bright Eyes but everything else is still good
>>64059841
I'm still not seeing much hate. I think you're just insecure.
>>64059817
out of all those posts literally only one actually said that tool were good, did you even read them?
>>64059865
>he can like tool
>>64059872
yeah it's because usually tool receives lots of criticism on this board (and others too, obviously hating tool isn't specific to mu) so when given the opportunity some people defended them from that usual criticism.
>>64059905
>he can't like tool
>>64059872
I didn't post that.
tool is good
i am the law
>>64059848
>a lot of /mu/core is overrated but solid,
I agree. Bands like MBV, Radiohead, King Crimson, and NMH are some of the best bands out there and truly deserve the praise they get here. Now, the other shit I mentioned is nothing but manufactured garbage that caters to hipsters who care more about image than content.
they literally aren't good though
like their music is not good
is this a meme?
>>64059879
I did. None of the posts were hateful. This is what a hateful post looks like >>64059794
Learn the difference.
>>64059997
you had me with all of those other than Radiohead, who are pretty much exactly the band I was referring to earlier (overrated but have some solid material)
though Animal Collective was genuinely phenomenal until Feels, after that theywere solid until CHz
>>64059997
none of these bands exist solely within or because of mu, people just happen to like or appreciate them here. king crimson have been loved for decades FFS, what's the point of relegating them to "/mu/core?"
>>64060381
Exactly. /mu/core is a garbage term
>>64060020
2deep4u
>>64060020
No, the memes are hating them because of their fanbase, and thinking they're the best band ever.
>>64060059
Then why can't Tool be accepted on this board just like all of those bands? Why this stupid prejudice against Tool? Is it just because their fans aren't considered hip? Is it because of how popular they are with "normies"? This is elitism at its best.
>>64060787
/mu/ is majority filled with narcissistic egomaniac teenagers. Would else do you expect?
>>64060787
This was actually a response to >>64060381
>Tool fans are also pedophiles
>>64060787
why do you give a shit though? this is an insanely small board compared to all the legions of tool fans out there.
just listen to the music you like anon
>>64058465
Tool is fucking great. Its kinda sad that their fanbase is so fucking abominable
>>64060854
Tbqh, I don't even listen to Tool. They're just not my cup of tea but I respect them. And I wish other people here did, too. And not just them but other other artists that deserve respect but don't get any because they're not indie enough or some pretentious bullshit.
>>64060787
>liking the most boring prog since Kansas
>liking a band whose influences trump them in everyway
>liking a band who is merely a blueprint for nuch better prog rock bands
>liking a filler-tastic band
>liking a band that's overreliant on their drummer
>liking Maynard's "edgy" Korn impression vocals
>liking played-out repetitive riffs in prog rock
>liking prog with barely any sense of progression or experimentation outside "ooooh look we put an ambient interlude in the middle of a basic metal song"
>liking self-serious metal with barely any sense of fun or even notable qualities
>Liking Sterile Neurosis
Opinions I guess.
uh oh, you're allowed to enjoy that here
>>64061209
>liking p4k core
>>64061274
*not allowed
my bad, phamily
>>64060787
>wanting your favorite band to become a meme
If my favorite band became /mu/core I would be upset.
>>64061364
Like I said in a previous post, I don't even listen to Tool. I just think th whole "le Tool is for reddittors and plebs xD" meme is fucking dumb.
>>64061364
>if other people like my favourite band then I'll be upset
I'll never understand this logic
Wow I remember in 2006 and 2007 TOOL would get shitd on hard here.
WHY DON'T YOU KIDS LIKE TOOOL?????
Why don't you kids like the Tool?

>I just think th whole "le Tool is for reddittors and plebs xD" meme is fucking dumb.
I agree
>>64061804
There's a big difference between having fans becoming full blown /mu/core. What I wouldn't want is my favorite album or whatever to become like ITAOTS where it's such a meme it's pretty much impossible to even have a meaningful discussion about it.
>I like Tool but I'm not a fan
>every Tool thread
yes you are come the fuck on
Everyone on /mu/ hates tool because they're ashamed that they used to think they were the best band of all time when they were in middle school
>>64059715
Anyone have shivers down their spine at 2:46?
Every fucking time for me.
>>64062313
it's totally possible to have a meaningful discussion on ITAOTS, just not on /mu/
>>64060787
Every band/artist gets shit on on /mu/
You've got to learn to not give a fuck and move on. If you like it then that's all that matters. Validation from internet strangers does nothing in the end.
Simple as that. Welcome to /mu/
>>64063179
Well that's kind of what /mu/core means you know, which is what I was saying. If my favorite band became /mu/core I would never really be able to talk about them here.
I'm not saying Tool is bad but they could use a better name
>>64065155
Probably but it's way too late for that now.
>>64058465
WHAT IN THE FUCK I JUST CAME TO /MU/ TO POST THIS Ænema just got me, the lyrics are cringey but the song is wonderful
>>64058465
one of the greatest bands ever, op
>>64059848
>anco
>grimes
>grizzly bear
>crystal castles
>solid
"no"
>>64061209
Too bad I find their melodies catchy.
>>64059817
/mu/ doesn't hate Tool, it hates Tool's fanbase, which is understandable.
also, I am /mu/
>>64058465
I like the vocalists voice, really soothing
>>64061209
>>liking prog with barely any sense of progression or experimentation outside "ooooh look we put an ambient interlude in the middle of a basic metal song"
