Thank you for the post!
Been curious to listen to this. More so now, and will have to be added to my "list"...
While not a huge fan, I did listen to Aenima and Undertow quite a bit.
My CD's have been in storage for years, and I recently ripped everything so I could put it all on my DAP. And, as a result was listening to Tool again.
There is something interesting that happens when a band "grows up". If they are close in age to the listener, the hope is if the listener "grows up" maintaining a certain synergy with the band, they will stay relevant.
There was another performer whom I was a huge fan of and have seen live many many times - more so than any other by a long shot. With every new release I felt as though they continued to make sense as I was dealing with new stages in my life. And, with every new release, there was a concerted effort to "give it a chance". This as the releases were evolving, as was the performer. The investment to work through the changes was always worth the effort.
Here's an interesting video. I love listening to "British" people speaking "properly" about things that could be perceived by some as being on the fringe...

PS - This is how threads on Agon should be discussed...
