This may sound like a dumb question but give me chance to explain. After listening to the teaser of the new album I found myself going all the way back to Opiate and listening to random songs from all their albums. Once I was ready to move and listen to something else I found myself hopelessly searching my library with no choice but moving to another genre so the change was so drastic I could not compare. Unless it was something complex it just sounded dull by comparison.
So my question is, since Tool is so creative, original and so unlike anything else from the rock/metal (or whatever genre they are) do you find other music from similar genres a bit uninteresting after listening to Tool? I'm not saying I dislike the other stuff but it sure is hard not to compare. Dredg and Mudvayne are a couple other favorites and I find them to be pretty original and interesting but placing Tool in the same world is like trying to imagine Obiwan Kenobi in Raiders of the Lost Ark or something.
Anyways - thoughts?
