And yes, Lumber Jim, the Tool track was a real trip to listen to. It's all about a progression of textures getting layered on each other in a sequence that paints a mental picture. Hearing the track for the first time I didn't know where they were going when an instrument began the first phase of a new part coming in, but then once the momentum built up it made perfect sense. And I wondered, is this what listening to this band was always like? I just don't remember hearing a Tool song that I didn't already know where the parts were going.
