    I'd place Mer de Noms ahead of Thirteenth Step for sentimental reasons.

    emotive is a load of bollocks. Awful covers of songs that were mostly awful to begin with. They watered down Passive (the live version that leaked onto the net a few years ago packed a much harder punch) and murdered Pet. Just not cricket.

    Didn't enjoy eMotive at all really. I'd have to agree with John2 about them murdering Pet but I quite enjoyed Passive. I'll have to have a look for the version you mentioned.

    Funnily enough, as soon as I clicked on this thread, the first track from Mer de Noms just started :)
    Love that album. Haven't got Thirteenth Step yet... but I will at some stage :)
    Tool... love Aenima. There's some songs on that which just hold so many memories...

    Yes on both counts. For tool, Lateralus would be my favourite, and for A Perfect Circle, Mer de Noms.

    Lateralus, I'm listening to it right now.

    And I know Mer de Noms and Thirteen Step, and while the first has great songs (about five or six) and not so great ones, Thirteen Step is just perfect for me. Never heard Emotive. I love the lyrics too.

    Must say that Emotive is very poor compared to Mer De Noms and Thirteenth step.

    I really like APC but i've only listened to the album two or three times, it's that bad.

    Only started getting into Tool. Only have Lateralus at the mo but am very impressed.

    Yeah and they did nothing for me at all. I can't believe that's Danny drumming, there's no expression or power. Just sounds like a pub band to me.

    Whilst we're naming bands related to Tool has anyone here heard Peach? They were Justin's old band, Tool have covered them a couple of times. Some of their stuff is deadly (some less deadly).

    I don't think people should put Tool and A Perfect Circle in the same boat. Only for Maynard James Keenan and some of the unusual stuff off eMOTIVe they are completely different bands.

    Both Mer De Noms and Thirteenth Step own.

    Best Song: Judith

    They...murdered Pet.

    Well it wasn't so much murder as crushing disappointment. :(

    Yeah, i also think Mer De Noms is far superior to Thirteenth Step, which is devoid of any real darkness or emotion. Thirteenth Step is a great album, but it's rubbish compared to Mer De Noms.

    And I have to say..even though Lateralus is an amazing album, I still prefer Aenima, crappy engineering and all. Again, far more depth.

    I cant fault any tool album at all.

    Even Salival which isnt as good as their studio albums has some classics on it.
    Their cover of No Quarter is just legendary.

    I cant really pick between Lateralus and Aenima, i think they are both brilliant.

    Perfect Circle are almost as good, while I liked Emotive, its not a patch on Mer De Noms or Thirteenth Step, but you cant really go too far wrong with either of these bands.
