Actually, In Kerrang, every time they review an album, somewhere in the review they manage to fit in the words 'like Tool' or 'this album launches into its most Tool-like period at 0.30.'Seriously, go in your newsagent and check.
No offense, but Kerrang is for ****heads.
Anyway, what have you proved? That the writers of Kerrang magazine compare albums to Tool. Doesn't mean the readers will know them, and it certainly doesn't mean that the millions of people around the world who don't read Kerrang know them.

My point being that a major magazine regularily publishes things about Tool?
That meaning that at least some of the readers will download Tool mp3's, like I did, and be disappointed, like I was. My point is, these magazines hype Tool to breaking point, where in reality, there not great.

Yep, at least some of. Say about a quarter of their readers. Is that everyone? No.
Missing phrase there : ''In my opinion they're not great.''
In my opinion, they are great. In my opinion, half the people who don't think they're great is because they don't understand them. And seeing as Kerrang TV & radio are obsessed with playing ****head bands such as Slipknot and Yellowcard, it doesn't suprise me that they don't get the genius that is Tool.
Not all bands who get hyped up by the media are bad, they wouldn't be hyped up at all if they were.

DF>Tool really doesn't have standards, their really modest if you read about it, They never really talk highly of themselves, other people do, and other people make comparisons, Tool would really hate that because their whole point is to "not be a sheep" and do your own thing.

and tbh i agree with him, Tool are hugely talented and stunning musically, but theyre thought much too highly of even by their standards
He does have a point. A lot of Tool fans do blow them out of proportion...
Kurt Loder: Tool fans are pretty intense. Some of them already appear to think of you as a legendary character.
Maynard James Keenan: That's kind of weird. How'd that happen? I don't even know how to process that statement. I can't be a legend yet. I'm not dead.
