What I find impressive about Tool is that you know you're listening to a Tool song. Their sound is unique and they haven't deemed it necessary to reinvent themselves over the years like so many other bands have done. The album Opiate is probably the biggest departure from their true sound and is only so because their label at the time said they needed put their heaviest songs on the record to break through. Oddly, Undertow is what got them their real break.

Tool has always reminded me of Rush. Obviously a different sound, but the musicianship is first rate, the songs are very original, and they are not to be mistaken for any other band.
