Start from the beginning and hear the evolution.
:hehe: yup...start where they started, their first EP "opiate", first full length "undertow" and so on...some love the later tool, I'm of the earlier stuff
I would do that but do it old skool. Listen to one album on repeat for a month or three going back to revisit older songs before moving onto the next. I don’t think it’s the same nowadays with the streamings. Back in the olden times we’d listen to an album forever knowing every nook and cranny before the next one came out. Now you can zip thru a discography without fully immersing yourself into a state of true love.

When I used to play Undertow I would start around the 4th or 5th song

I find Undertow to be too dirgy and droning. I only love the first three tracks (Intolerance, Prison Sex & Sober), the rest are too meh.

Lateralus has some standout tracks but really, it’s 45% filler. Same goes for 10,000 Days.

I agree with Undertow. First three tracks are killer, rest is too droney, with disgustpated or whats it called talking the cake.

I also like Jerk Off a lot from Opiate.

I agree with 10.000 days, that 45 % is killer.

Don't understand that from Lateralus though, that's all killer no filler.

The Grudge, schism, parabola, reflection, ....

Their finest hour imo.

To me, Lateralus is:

The Grudge - Killer
Eon Blue Apocalypse - Filler
The Patient - Filler
Mantra - Filler
Schism - Killer
Parabol - Killer
Parabola - Killer
Ticks & Leeches - Killer
Lateralus - Killer
Disposition - Filler
Reflection - Filler
Triad - Killer
Faaip de Oiad - Filler

Killer: 7/13 - 54%
Filler: 6/13 - 46%

I've dropped those I've named as Filler from my playlist and the album is so much sweeter. But each to their own.

The Patient - Filler
Disposition - Filler
Reflection - Filler
Three of my favorite Tool songs. Disposition/Reflection are masterpieces in my opinion. The first time I heard those songs I was in a pitch black area at night, watching a summer storm roll in from miles away and feeling pretty mind blown.

Gold, I love that story.

It's not like I don't like those songs, I just think they're more like background music that can easily be dropped from the record and it sounds as good or better. To me, "songs" like (-) Ions and these are just wanks. But hey, I'm glad you love them. TOOL is so many different things to different people.

Reiterating an earlier point, I can't recommend TheTOOLDrive enough. Get on it y'all! (Murica!)
