What are some bands that are similar to Tool? I've listened to all of Tool's discography and I'm hungry for more, specifically more like the Lateralus, 10000 Days, and Fear Inoculum albums.

Dredg, Absolace, Rishloo, Dead Soul Tree, Failure, Cog, Clockhammer, The Butterfly Effect, The God Machine, etc.

Some key samples for useful help:

Interesting! I love seeing top 10s and how different they can be. Missing from this that would be on mine, in no particular order, are Sober, Stinkfist, and Schism. I agree with Pneuma and 7empest being two of the best songs on Fear Inoculum, but also the title track, and that it's a great album.

As to recommendations there have been some good ones already, and I second A Perfect Circle, but I'll add Between the Buried And Me, Devin Townsend, and I assume you would have already considered System Of A Down.

Dream Theater, Opeth, Mastodon, Porcupine Tree, also A Perfect Circle (the same vocalist as Tool)

Yeah I second that you'll probably get enjoyment out of Porcupine Tree. I also think you might get some enjoyment out of Opeth, Mastodon and maybe even Faith No More?

I think the perfect band for you would be Porcupine Tree. They're a prog band that occasionally incorporates elements of metal into their music. They're like a mixture of Pink Floyd and Tool.

I'd start out with either "Fear Of A Blank Planet", "In Absentia", or "Deadwing". I'd say "Fear Of A Blank Planet" first

The Wings song (they’re just one song in two parts in my mind) is one of the best Tool songs and my all time fave. Glad you like Tool in general!

I just finished listening to Tool's Fear Inoculum and I was BLOWN AWAY. Easily my favorite record I've heard from Tool. There isn't a single track I'd say was less than good.

Which brings me to my next question: What album should I listen to next? Undertow or 10,000 Days?

Interesting, I actually haven't listened to FI in full so might have to check this out. Good luck with your diary, I'm trying to get deeper into metal myself so I'll keep checking this out! Maybe I'll start my own diary, I haven't yet.

I just finished listening to "10,000 Days". It was really good! Not quite on the same level as "Lateralus" or "Fear Inoculum" but it's up there. "10,000 Days (Wings Pt. 2)" is far and away my favorite Tool song, and possibly one of my favorite songs ever. I think I'll listen to Undertow tomorrow, I'm a bit tired after listening to four albums in one day
