Tool is the best rock band out right now. That's not saying much based on the competition, but I still feel they are flippin awesome. The thing that really impresses me about the band is that every member shines on their work; the length of the songs contributes to this, but the musicianship is undeniable. With many bands you don't even hear the bassist, or don't want to. Here the bass flows so great and connects to everything else, as does the drums. And then you have Maynard, a truly remarkable rock singer with one of those stand out voices; at times he can sound like an angel, while at other times he can bogga bogga with the rest of em.
I won't compare them to the Beatles because both bands are so different. The Beatles have multiple classic albums and a place in rock history, forever. Tool is still making steady progress in that regard, and I salute them
