Tool isn’t that bad, they are above average. Tool fans aren’t even that bad either. This meme is just “pineapple pizza is evil” for music
As someone who was just caping for Tool here, I need to point out that Tool fans are fucking insufferable a good portion of the time. They are too fixated on pseudo-profound bullshit and numerological codes and peyote trips, and it's not like that wasn't facilitated by the band itself (Maynard especially).
I remember some Tool fan online telling me that the random high frequency noise in their latest album was them trying to send a message or something. Instead of the much more likely explanation that their hearing has suffered after years of performing, and they just didn't hear the high frequency stuff during production.
And that they are apparently too egotistical to let a mix engineer, producer, or master engineer fix it
