Tool vs Mastodon

[Spounman]

opiate, undertow, and some songs off aenima are the best tool ever put out, in my opinion. i don't know much about the other band.

and Maynard's Dick

 

[Brandon Wilson]

TOOL. Not even close.

 

[KawhiDoh]

Mastodon.

Tool are great and all, some of their songs are AMAZING, but Mastodon are more interesting and more proggy, which I like.

 

[Absolut]

Tool superior live.

 

[First Day UFC Intern]

Mastodon is more my taste Tool is a cool band though I only really like their early stuff

Mastodon can be fun and playful

Tool music goes into more darker territory

Hard to choose, both I think are really enjoyable

Anyone else struggling to get into Fear Inoculum? Finding it hard to pick out any hooks so far

 

[Mr. Fixit]

I'm going to go with the band that has Danny Carey

It's definitely a departure from their earlier albums. Much softer lyrically. Their instrumentation is tighter than ever though IMO. The title track, Descending, Tempest and Invincible are all great.

Personally, I was just happy to get a new album at all, but it's an acquired taste for sure and I can see how some may not like it and have a hard time getting into it.

Thanks man, I’ll definitely persevere with it

The answer is Motorhead.

 

[Violencia]

Tool. Without a doubt. Seen twice. The experience was honestly one of a kind.

 

[ThulsaDooom]

Neither. Although if forced to choose, Tool. Mastodon got really lame and shitty really quick.

This. Or Black Sabbath.

 

[Steve-French]

I like both, but Tool is better imo.

Anything after Blood Mountain is pretty meh to me. I liked Tool when I was younger but got burnt out because I heard them too much.

Same. I had some friends/roommates who were diehard fans. I haven't listened to a full album from either band in a long, long time but I gotta admit both bands were amazing when I saw them 2002/2003ish. Tool at Red Rocks in CO was a top 5 concert experience. What a spectacular venue that place is.
