Tool

Tool is an experimental metal band that was formed in Los Angeles California. With five full length albums, Tool created  Tool has been known to incorporate math into their music. For instance, on tools song schism, the time signature is 13/16 Their unique tone was brought to life by various combinations of pedals and sound effects.

Tool is particularly fond of art, they incorporate many different artistic ideals into their music and music videos.

Since tool creates very complex rhythms, covering their songs requires a lot of hard work and effort in order to achieve the perfect tool sound.

My favorite Tool songs, that are suitable for minor audiences, would be:
Lateralus
Schism
Forty Six & 2
Vicarious
10,000 Days

I personally like Tool because of the strange arrangements they compose together. Tool's versatile understanding of music compels listeners to really think about what their music is all about.

Tool's song Vicarious talks about how people tend to act lazy and just sit around and watch T.V. and how we watch tragedies on the news as a form of entertainment. Tool's music is certainly remarkble pieces of art.

Having been a fan of Tool for many years, I think that everyone should give this band a chance and listen to their music. It's impossible to dislike this band.

Post #7 System of a Down

     System of a Down (SOAD) is a metal band from California. They are a hardcore influenced insanity, with a mix of utter originality. Their genre defying music changed the direction that metal was heading towards.    System of a Down's music has been classified as nu-metal, alternative metal, or even progressive metal. Many metal heads are not fond of the nu-metal genre. But System of a Down is a definite exception. System of a Down commonly talks about a corrupt corporote America in a lot of their songs. For instance, off of their Toxicity album, the song entitled "Prison Song" talks about how jailing minor drug offenders is corrupting our society. Although System of a Down's lyrics may not be suitable to minors, a few of their songs turned out to be popular works of art among the popular culture.

     System of a Down's most famous track B.Y.O.B. (Bring Your Own Bombs) was written to protest the Iraq war. The song was given various awards for the creativity and it placed in several top rated lists around the world.

• I-E-A-I-A-I-O
• Holy Mountains
