It sounds llike the beginning of Betterman by Pearl Jam. But actaully sounds better. I always thought Pearl Jam shoulda made a whole song out of those chords. Im glad tool made use of it.

Kind of similar to the Black Hole Sun intro.

Soundarden & Tool = My 2 favorite bands of all time.

I think a lot of Tool and Soundgarden have a lot of songs that sound slightly similar. Both bands have used quite a bit of odd time signatures in their songs as well as odd tunings.

A little. The screaming guitar is very distinctive, and a bit of a change from normal Tool screaming guitar.

Not too many odd tunings for Tool as far as I've figured. Parabol/a has a dropped B/E thing and Prison Sex drop B. That's about it (yet to figure out much of the new album).

I agree with this. People who simply want to tear ideas down instead of offering their own... kinda pathetic.

It reminds me of the intro to "Searching With My Good Eye Closed" a little. I guess the drawn out note and the voice over.

the sounds of this song sound like Soundgarden but not the melody.

i think for example Limowrecks beginning sounds much like a part what could've been in Lost Keys/Rosetta Stoned. etc.

Superunknown > Any rock album of the past 20 years. Soundgarden was pure sex.

Lost Keys does have a little soundgarden vibe, has that kim thayil creepiness, but it actually reminded me more of the ending to Half. Now that's an ideal segue.

Wow first person I've ever heard say they thought DotU > Superunknown. Down on the Upside is great, but Superunknown is a timeless masterpiece. Who whole CD from beginning to end has so many songs that all fit so well with eachother it's amazing; the most cohesive rock album ever. Down on the Upside is awesome too, Soundgarden broke up at the perfect time, with Cornell in a depressed angst ridden drunken rage.

YES. Not entirely but I was thinking the exact same thing while listening to this track for the first time. Just the guitar part towards the end. Blow up the outside world.

Fave albums of the 90s?

Aenima
Superunknown
Siamese Dream
Wiseblood

Timeless, fantastic, brilliant albums.

Much of Superunknown sounded muddy; Down on the Upside sounded HUGE, and had a lot more clarity. It was also a little more progressive and went in some interesting new directions.

Like I said, I don't know if I'd really say it's a better album, but years later, I love listening to Down on the Upside, and rarely pull out Superunknown.

Funny, though: just yesterday I listened to Badmotorfinger for the first time in many years, and there were several points in listening when I went "Holy shit, that sounds like Tool." The music, but not the vocals, definitely has some similarities to stuff off of Undertow & 10,000 Days.

Lost Keys does have a little soundgarden vibe, has that kim thayil creepiness, but it actually reminded me more of the ending to Half. Now that's an ideal segue.
Superunknown rocks for sure! I popped it in every now and then...takes me right back to being 17...

Audioslave is so terrible, ';( ';(
I do think that Tool shares in some songs, a certain swagger that Soundgarden possessed. Both bands do prog-metal takes on blue riffs, not like they're from two different ends of the spectrum.

Can't hear it, but compared to Soundgarden, Audioslave sucks the big one. No need to compare though. Shutting myself up. Now.

I thought of 'Half' from 'Suerunknown' first time I heard it.

NoD, I would have to agree with that statement. I particularly love the title track of that album- it's almost mystical while it rocks the shit out of your core- goosebumps every time.

But s ti N Kfizt, I have never heard that opinion in my life. The first time I ever heard Down On The Upside, my first thought was, "Shit! Soundgarden is going to break up!" To my drummer's ear, Matt Cameron just sounded so BORED back there, especially when you compare this work to the nuance-laden masterpiece of Superunkown. Seriously, from the first time I ever heard "Blow Up the Outside" I was waiting to hear the bad news . . .

I actually got to see Matt play with Pearl Jam at Alpine Valley in Wisconsin. At that time, he was just sitting in with the band for one concert. But he rocked the shit out of it, recapturing his old vitality and ingenuity. At one point, the band broke into Last Exit, but everybody fucked up the rhythm (5/4) at the transition from chorus to verse two . . . Everybody except Matt. He was the only one to keep it up- though not yet a member of the band. Don't get me wrong, Thayill, Sheppard, and Cornell all rock with authority, but Matt Cameron was the heartbeat of that band (and that's not just a drummer-pun).
