Perfect Circle is incredible... I LOVE LOVE LOVE them. I haven't gotten into Tool yet, I keep meaning to dl some songs or get a cd, but I have yet to get around to it... I'm sure I'll like them, because from what I've heard they have the same feel as Perfect Circle.

Same, but different. Older tool is quite heavy/progresssive metal, but Lateralus and onward definitely shows influences from Maynard's stint with APC - much, much more melodic, not nearly as aggressive.

My Tool song suggestions for easy transition image hehe:

H. (off Ænima)
Off Lateralus: The Patient, Parabol, Parabola, Lateralus, Disposition, Reflection
Off 10,000 Days: Wings for Marie; 10,000 Days (these two are about Maynard's mother, who spent "10,000 days" debilitated by a stroke before passing away - very touching songs - they give me chills every time); Intension; Right in Two.

I can zip and upload these for anyone who wants 'em later on when I'm at home....



Just a bit of trivia here in case you didn't know (and want to hear something AWESOME!)...Wings for Marie pt 1. + Viginti Tres and Wings for Marie pt. 2 are synchronized. If you can find a way to play them at the same time, it sounds amazing. The way I did it is to burn Wings pt. 1 and Viginti Tres onto a separate cd, then played Wings pt. 2 off the real cd. I used 2 stereos to do it. Just make sure there's no space between those 2 songs or the times won't add up right. And it has to be in that order. I thought it was so neat when I heard it the first time.
