I think it has to be Tool - 10,000 Days
for outstanding achievement in the field of excellence

Must admit
Never been a huge Tool fan. I respect what they do, I just don't really enjoy it all that much.

I've started to get more into Mastodon now, the more prog stuff. I might have to give Tool another listen...

have you heard/do you like A Perfect Circle?

I love Tool but Perfect Circle bores me.

Also Toxicity is the best S.o.a.d album

but as a gateway to Tool for someone who approves of what they are doing, but doesn't quite like to listen to them
APC are ideal. I like them a lot though. mainly because Maynard's voice and lyrics are awesome.

.
The only Perfect Circle track I know I've heard is 3 Libras.

Very good while drunk!

their other stuff is good too
I recommend you try that before Tool. It will prepare you. Get Thirteenth Step.
