Are there any Tool fans here?

Hey guys, if you're not a Tool fan, there's no reason to digress this thread into some other kind of topic.

As far as the OP is concerned, I actually like the Mer De Noms album by A Perfect Circle (Maynard's other group), especially Magdelena.

Although, if you like Tool, you may get a kick out of this:

I'm sure oreganpapa is going to vomit over this one as well. lol.

I love Tool but not a big fan of Undertow.  I really like Fear Inoculum now after giving it a dozen or so listens.  I think the sound quality is quite good.  I bought the Hi Res download off of HD Tracks.  Others complain it sounds compressed, but it really shines on my main rig.  I hope that's a good thing.

I’m not one to judge the musical tastes of others, but ...

My point about judging the demise of our civil society based upon ten-year increments in music? ... I rest my case. :-)

And by the way, that Cannonball Adderley/Bill Evans album is a must-have. Great performance and demo-quality sound.

The funny thing is is that I have my whole music library on J River Media and have the greatest jazz albums from Bill Evans to Sonny Rollins "Way out West", but I also have a broad taste in other things besides the standard and like to experiment with modern sounds, especially those that have been around for 20 years. You guys can have your opinions I was just considering the sound quality of the album.
