You didn't quite understand my post, did you? Here, let me try again: Music that cannot live without lyrics is not good music. Bob Dylan, for example, has great lyrics, as well as melodies that can stand alone. He is a musician of my taste. Dream Theater's songs also have very good lyrics, but still the songs can do without. Without good music to complement the lyrics, it's just not interesting to me. Keenan has a great voice, and the rest of the band play their instruments well, but the music in itself does not interest me at all. In other words, it is boring. Matter of preference. If the music doesn't have good lyrics and vocals, then that's bad music to me *shrugs*. There are always execeptions, but that's how I feel generally. Besides like I said, I, and i'm sure many others; like Tool's and APC's instrumentation. Peace. |

Okay, semi-offtopic, but I need an answer... What is so damn special about Tool and A Perfect Circle? I've heard quite alot of it, but all I hear is boring music. The lyrics are alright, but there is nothing, and I mean nothing, out of the ordinary or interesting about the music itself. So, somebody, explain why the music is so fantastic. Really, would you even care to hear a full song if it wasn't for the lyrics? Isn't music what is most important about music? The way I see it, and I bet other fans see it another way, Tool and APC are more about mood and lyrics than outstanding technical use of instruments. There are songs that demonstrate superb skill with the instruments, but also many that don't...I guess it just depends on whether you can get the mood out of the music or not. |

Maynard James Keenan happens to be a demi-god with both. I don't think the instrumentation is bad either. *Shrugs* Peace. |
