yeah, tools a love/hate band around here aswell. i love the band. didn't start listening to them until a friend of mine showed me them earlier this year. their drummer is amazing https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RelR85j09XY
i'm aware of that. this album is so diferent from the normal beastie boy sound though. it's actually good music; as opposed to amusing, but not very well written rap songs.
