Me? I hold tool up to standards i hold every band up to. I want them to sound better than a tool cover band....Maynard, unfortunately...doesnt.

EXCEPTION: I just listened to a live version of flood that is about 1 1/2 minutes long and maynard sounded better than he ever did on the 10kdays tour. Maybe there is hope for his voice.
