I refuse to listen to them because of how obnoxious their fanbase is. And also because of how pretentious maynard is. Also, there have been a bunch of stories about him messing with underage girls

Better than 10000 days, maybe just short of Aenima...Lateralus tier seems fair.

I also have no idea how Danny is going to pull off that track with the hang drum live on tour alongside the other drums...

I found it boring. But I haven't enjoyed the direction they've been heading for a while now. I can appreciate the musicianship, but the songs are boring to me. Second to last track was pretty good, though. Can't recall the title.

So yeah, that whole pretentious bit about people's attention span nowadays yada yada (that is exactly what I was referring to in my first post about how obnoxious their fans are) was a bit ridiculous

Either way, I listened to lateralus and aenima in the past. Decent albums but as far as prog goes there is just way more interesting stuff out there. Just dont understand the hype. I feel like most of their fans have just never listened to other prog bands and are unaware that other bands actually use polyrhythms. You wanna hear some impressive use of polyrhythms, check out meshuggah

I mean technically, any of Ozric Tentacles' drummers blow Danny out of the water. Hell OT's drummers would blow Neil Peart out of the water. Just check out "Coily" by them, but it's still an apples to oranges comparison. Danny is still an amazing drummer.

I'm also surprised 10,000 days is so divisive.

Yeah Danny carey is definitely the highlight of tool for sure. I agree that neil peart is insanely overrated. Lots of 70s prog drummers mop the floor with him. Phil Collins is super underrated. If you havent heard his work with brand x, it makes peart look like a novice

There are other sources. This is a known thing among musicians. Word gets around. It's common knowledge. But I'm not surprised someone who probably listens to Katy Perry and Florida georgia line wouldny know about this kind of stuff

This happens all the time with bands and other celebrities. It gets swept under the rug because are "but I like the band so I dont care." Lots of bands out there. I'll have some backbone and listen to bands that arent doing shit like that

False equivalency there. You're seriously reaching my dude. And what's this cancel shit. Is this the latest buzzword? Sounds like something the alt right would say to dismiss stuff like this tbh

Do I have actual proof? Are you asking if I was there? Lol. Most actual rape accusation come with no proof because, for one, they often wait years before having the courage to talk about it. But there are dozens of these stories about maynard and they're similar so it seems to be a pattern.

Maybe it's some giant anti tool anti Maynard conspiracy collusion thing going on but that seems kinda tinfoil hat if you ask me. It's your moral choice though if you wanna support someone who has these kind of accusations following them around
