i'm sure there are a few other Tool fans in here who influenced you as well, but thanks anyway!! the mellower parts to Lateralus are amazing to me, the songs Lateralus, Disposition, and Reflection are just awesome, imo.

Same thing with the Soundgarden disk. I need to be in a different frame of mind...their time will come.
