Crawl Away? Paul was freakin awesome in that song. One of my all time fav tones, even to this day.

Funny thing is, the first song that jumped into my mind is Sober. I love Tool, but that song is just god awful. I mean, really. Really. Really bad.

Have to agree with you there. Sober is the only Tool song that sounds to me like it's a crappy recording from some guy's cell phone - it's just awful. And the only Tool song that I would use that word for.

No, I'm with you on liking Sober.

However, I'm on the other side of the Pink Floyd fence from you. PF post-RW is different, but still excellent.

I have heard that both Harrison and McCartney admit that if it wasn't for Ringo the band would have never made. He kept them all going. Especially through all the early year bullshit.

Paul was just freaking awesome. I still miss him, and the sound tool had with him. Justin is fine, but different.

My problem with the song is not the music, it's only the lyrics. I love the tune, and even with the awful lyrics it's still better than 99% of the pure garbage out there, but the lyrics do throw me on that one.

Sober? Are you kidding, one of the better drum intros in music, and the quintessential MUDDY tool guitar and bass sound! [beavis&butthead] DUH NUH DUH NUH [/beavis&butthead]

Yeah, It's too bad Paul left. I like him a lot better than Justin. Like you said, Justin is fine, but Paul was the shit.

And, yes, I am serious. Sober is just a horrible song. HORRIBLE. Undertow is one of my favorite albums of all time, but I've been skipping track three since the day it came out.......

that was George Harrison solo.

and yeah, I hate that song, its named "My Sweet Lord".

He actually got sued & had to settle for plagiarizing 'he's so fine' by some 60s girl group.

I agree! That song blows!

Blasphemy! Stipes and Pierson sounded awesome together.

sure they did, on "Me in Honey" (last track on the CD)
Click to expand...

and on "Fretless", which was left off the album. We could have done without SHP.

That's not their worst song, though; their worst is probably "Airportman" from Up.
