I know that Tool songs are always open to interpretation and their meaning are never simply spelled out in the lyrics..but if this happens to be the case, then I'm sincerely dissapointed.

It never ceases to amaze me how people so gifted in some areas can so mispercieve reality and the meaning of life.

Perhaps Keenan hasn't changed his stance and is simply using it as imagery. However, if he has, I can't support Tool or APC from this point on. I will always love his work up until now, and listen to all the previous APC and Tool albums as fervently as I always have--but I can't support his future efforts. I can't support someone who supports the cause of more deaths than anything else in human history--religion.
To say that Maynard is musically more gifted is false. Reznor writes the majority of his music himself, as Maynard is one of the four that writes Tool’s music. You may prefer one or the other in terms of style but no way can you say one or the other is musically more gifted.

In my view the most gifted musicians are, Trent Reznor, Mike Patton and Devin Townsend. And the most gifted band is Tool.
