Same thing with me too. I listen mainly to electronica, but as soon as I heard Tool I instantly became a fan of their music. Not sure what it is exactly, but I think its a combination of the vocals and "progressive" metal aspect of the music that really strikes a chord with me. The track "Reflection" is a perfect example of what I what I mean, clearly metal but also so much more.
Alot people also recommended that I listen to other metal bands such as Opeth, Iron Maiden etc, but however much I appreciated the quality of music they still sounded very different to Tool. Closest was "A Perfect Circle" but even then, their was still something missing.
I can't wait till their next album!!!

Explorer other genres/bands and come back later to see if it works. For me they clicked right away (2001) and I've been liking them more each listen, hehe I have actually listen to their songs over 4000 times in total |
