Please 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.

I’m sure there’s many other layers to this onion f we wanted to follow the rabbit hole…

  • Eidola’s exceptional album degeneterra comes to mind. From memory they claimed the albums concept was like a tesseract that can be viewed from multiple angles through each song.

  • There’s probably room for some bad religion in there, too?

  • Katatonia probably deserves a mention as well, but it’s all so vague and personal it’s hard to really tie down.

I haven’t studied any of them, however…
