do you think tool could make a really good electronic album? radiohead did it seemingly out of nowhere, but like radiohead, tool have actually been experimenting in samples and electronic fx for years. it's undeniable the members of tool are incredibly talented musicians, like radiohead. adam jones is a master at fx pedals, listen to his guitar in "third eye" and many other songs. danny carrey is an incredibly unique drummer with a knack for bizarre time signatures that i'm sure could do some serious damage in the electronic world. maynard listens to lots of electronic groups and just good music in general. and their bassist justin chancelor has a style that brings the bassline to the forefront of the songs. i think if they felt like doing it they could make a masterpiece of an electronic album, what do you think? |

yeah, definitely.. but what kind of sound? |
||||||||

who knows! considering maynard's love of massive attack and justin's deep and heavy bass playing, i'd suspect something like the album 'mezzanine' but with more complex drums (like in really dark idm). |

I hope they do go in that direction because I don't know what's left for them to accomplish in the rock genre. Maybe that's a bit of an overstatement but I agree with you and I think they could do some great stuff in electronic music. |

those beats in 'die eier von satan' are fairly hard sounding.. if only they developed it into a proper song.. argh! why does everyone have lightsabers in their images?!?!? am i missing something? |

The lightsabers all started from Jedi Chris, so blame him :) I just think it looks cool and I like Star Wars. |

i wouldn't want them to stop doing rock, they're my favorite "rock band", but if they did both (like radiohead) or just did one electronica album i think with their musical talent and creativity it could be phenomenal. |

I think they probably should experiment SOMEHOW... Lateralus has a lot of stale moments, I find... hell, I can barely remember how the songs go, they're so dynamic, but yet, ALL share the same basic traits. They move so much, but really go nowhere... big guitar riff followed by another big guitar riff, so many shoved into one track. I'd be hardpressed to tell the difference between some similar sounding movements in the Grudge and Schism. Lacks the direction Aenima had, methinks. Still really good... but they need to try something new. |

I agree with you Ophecks, Lateralus is good and bad both at once. And yeah, I'd like to hear what Tool could do with a more electronica-type album. I think it'd be pretty cool. |

yeah i think tool could be up to it. reflection off lateralus is very electronica sounding and one of the most interesting songs on the album. it'd have to be a combo of electronica and guitars, though. i wouldn't want to miss their unique guitar sound |
