When you're listening to Tool, just remember that they're not like other bands. Their music is incredibly artistic, almost to the point where you have to be paying complete attention to them to even remotely understand them. I remember listening to a song on Lateralus (though I can't remember what it was), where I thought a song was absolute bollocks during the listen. Then, I closed my eyes for a second, and all of a sudden the song had an entirely new meaning. It was insane the way Tool could just become something so different when you take a look into the music.

Another thing you should note about Tool is that it's easy to get a headache listening to them. Not because they're a bad band, but because of how many ideas their music is riddled with and how complex they are. Soon enough your head will fill to the brim and the rest will just sound like noise to you. Just turn it off and give it a listen the next day.

If you don't like the music, you'll definitely at least enjoy reading through the lyrics, and picking apart the song itself and all of the artistic values that go into making it the complexity that it is.

That right there is the main reason MJC won't allow Tool music to be digital. He thinks when it's on your phone etc there are too many other distractions other than the music. He would rather you listen to the album in its entirety undistracted. And if not he would rather you not listen at all.

I remember the first time I listened to Anemia on high quality headphones. The way the sound would switch back and forth between the left and right. It literally moved me. Now granted I was a teen and was very fucked up on something but it was so fantastic.

It's only with Tool. He has multiple other bands he doesn't do this with. Plus he spends 99% of his time on a vineyard. He founded 2 different wine brands.
