N0t_5urePlease help me out here. I was never a huge Tool fan, but I did have Undertow, but I’m missing the joke here.
Some tool fans fancy themselves as deep intellectuals, simply because of their understanding of Tool’s lyrical themes, musical scales, etc. and assumption that other people just don’t “get it”. It’s technically very demanding and difficult music, and therefore attracts many holier than thou pretentious types.
Which is ironic because there are other prog bands out there that have far more complicated music. It just happens that Tool is one of the more accessible prog bands to casual listeners, the very ones who claim to like “complex” music.
