Many tool fans fancy themselves as deep intellectuals, simply because of their understanding of Tool’s themselves, musical scales, etc. and think that other people just don’t “get it”.

Which is ironic because there are other prog bands out there that have far more complicated music. It just happens that Tool is one of the more accessible prog bands to casual listeners, the very ones who claim to like “complex” music.

  Yes! That is a very important detail that I forgot to mention. It’s the McDonald’s of prog.

  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…
