According to music map I like a few related bands.
I have some Tool but not a first choice (currently into guitar blues)

I like Metallica, System of a Down is okay, Pink Floyd is awesome, Alice in Chains not too much, I like Rush, Audioslave has some good songs, Dream Theater has some good songs, Not really into Nine Inch Nails (NIN), Rage Against The Machine, Queens of the Stone Age & Rammstien have some decent songs.

It depends on my mood and who is listening with me.

"Schism" is the best song about relationships I have ever heard

The music is awesome -especially the triplets -but the lyrics capture that isolated, disgusting and horrifying feeling you get when everything is falling apart -and you can't connect with the other even though they are right there -the only thing keeping you apart is a lack of knowing how to relate and solve the problem

I know the pieces fit
'Cause I watched them fall away
Mildewed and smouldering
Fundamental differing
Pure intention juxtaposed
Will set two lovers' souls in motion
Disintegrating as it goes
Testing our communication
The light that fueled our fire then
Has burned a hole between us so
We cannot seem to reach an end
Crippling our communication

I know the pieces fit
'Cause I watched them tumble down
No fault, none to blame
It doesn't mean I don't desire
To point the finger, blame the other
Watch the temple topple over
To bring the pieces back together
Rediscover communication

The poetry
That comes from the squaring off between
And the circling is worth it
Finding beauty in the dissonance

There was a time that the pieces fit
But I watched them fall away
Mildewed and smouldering
Strangled by our coveting
I've done the math enough to know
The dangers of our second guessing
Doomed to crumble unless we grow
And strengthen our communication

Cold silence has
A tendency to
Atrophy any
Sense of compassion

Between supposed brothers
Between supposed lovers

Music Video Producer: Do you want the video to be weird?
Tool: Yes
Music Video Producer: How weird?

I think Forty Six & 2 is one of their best songs.
