PuppetKing2112 Posted August 5, 2009 Share Posted August 5, 2009 I abstained from the vote because I don't love either one of them. Tool has some great material but their stuff is so draining that I can't really listen to an album of theirs from start to finish, which is really the only way to listen to them. And while I like what little PT material I've heard, I'm not familiar enough with them to pass judgment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rush! Posted August 5, 2009 Share Posted August 5, 2009 I prefer Porcupine Tree. Both bands are great though. Sometimes Tool's albums are a drain to listen to in full though... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
L. Wince Posted August 5, 2009 Share Posted August 5, 2009 I love Tool! I have never heard of Porcupine Tree though. I may have to go and check them out! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReRushed Posted August 5, 2009 Share Posted August 5, 2009 I'm finally getting into Porcupine Tree, boy have I been missing out on some kick ass music. I haven't really heard any Tool. Where's a good place to start? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you don't like that, don't bother trying any others. I had no idea this Porcupine Tree were so f***ing popular over the ear orgasm that is Tool. I am so gonna have to try them out. This is why of course I didn't vote here, even though I was tempted believe me!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Once you have those, go for Undertow and if you're feeling brave, get 10,000 Days, although I'll warn you that after the first 2 songs, it is a rather week effort Edited August 5, 2009 by priest_of_syrinx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ancient Ways Posted August 5, 2009 Share Posted August 5, 2009 QUOTE (Xanadu93 @ Aug 5 2009, 12:44 PM) Why this talk about who's better? It makes no sense. Pick the band you like and be happy, don't try to convince someone that "your" band is better. I feel you. I think we have ran with the "which band do you prefer and why" angle which has been interesting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wilderness_of_Mirrors Posted August 5, 2009 Author Share Posted August 5, 2009 if you are starting on Tool go for Lateralus definately! and if you want to get into Porcupine Tree go for Fear Of A Blank Planet.....then In Absentia. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers Wilderness, should've asked that Although Lateralus is a great album, for an intro Aenima may be an easier ride overall Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Righteo. Very impressed with FOABP, much more than I thought I would be. This is definitely the type of band that will reveal more over time. So the journey of discovery continues with In Absentia next, followed by Darkwing. Theres no way one can compare this to Tool though, they're completely different beasts that BOTH need to be appreciated equally for what they do so well. I dont think PT have ever made it down this far, only Australia. I know we have a fairly decent mod-prog following down here though, so hopefully not too long to wait Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Warning to people getting into PT. VERY diverse catalog. Most of it is not at all like FOABP, Deadwing, or In Absentia. Not saying the rest is bad, it is very different.

Necromancer Posted August 11, 2009 Share Posted August 11, 2009 the few things I've heard from PT don't make me an expert, but I've never been turned off by anything by Tool and PT reminds me of DT, so that's not really a good thing. And Tool has Maynard. DONE!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
