Quote: (Originally Posted by Dogstar) I think Tool has one of the best rhythm sections out there today. It's never boring and the sound is such a big part of the overall music without being overwhelming. I like that they focus on that just as much as the vocals and guitars. Sometimes, the rhythm seems like lead vox instead of Maynard.

Opiate is fun. I really love Hush and loved it even more after I saw the video. And Opiate the song is awesome. I love the chorus in that one.

I agree the rhythm section is such a massive part of their sound. I guess my one complaint with the band is that although Adam Jones has a lot of skill (he must to keep up with all of those time changes and the cool effects he uses) its all the durgy drop d stuff and there is never any soloing. He's in the background to Danny Carey half the time it seems. Danny is the real star of the outfit I think........
