Lyrically, a very big edge goes to Tool IMO.

Musically, the edge again goes to Tool.

Consistency-wise, Tool again.

Hard choice but I went with RATM. One reason is because I can actually play RATM songs on my drums but when it comes to Danny Carey's drumming, way more difficult/impossible for me. At the same time, I enjoy listening to Tool more for the same reasons above.

Also, really wish Tool wouldn't put so many bullshit tracks on their albums that are just annoying.

Rage. By a lot...


:what: It's nice to have proof that you three are literally programmed by a computer to have the worst take on every aspect in life. :thumb:

RATM: every song is variations of the minor pentatonic scale and the same vocal inflections

Tool: Some of the most layered, original, complex music ever made.

But to each his own (s**tty take). Side note: Adam Jones (Tool) and Tom Morello (RATM) played together in a garage band called Electric Sheep.

Wouldn't matter if it's weirdos sucking other guys' cocks. Elton John, Queen, George Michaels, etc. Wouldn't want to hang out with them, but I gotta give credit where credit's due. Talent is talent.

And BTW, that contortionist on the album cover is a chick.

lol....whinerillness knows as much about music as he knows about politics, or even sports for that matter. Not a whole helluva lot, if anything at all.

Don't remember any of them being into sucking their own dicks to get attention. Just talent. Other than George Michael, I don't really know anything about his career tbh.


20 years later, Tool is impossible for me to listen to.

He likes getting a rise outta folks.

I was gonna go with Rage being influenced by Latin/indigenous elements, but chose not to.
