I don't really get Tool which is why I keep trying ... everybody tells me to keep trying.

Tool easily . There are at least 4 Dream Theater albums I prefer to Scenes from a Memory.

Dream Theater.
Scenes From a Memory is a great album. I don't like Tool one bit. |

Two random guys agreed to shake hands. Just Because. They felt like it, you know. It was an agreement of sorts...a random agreement.

Of these two choices? Lateralus — easily. That's Tool's best album.

Tool - not a big fan but I have a lot of respect for them (and 10000 Days in particular is very beautiful). I do like that they seem quite indifferent towards belonging to a genre - metal, progmetal or whatever and create their music in whichever way comes natural for the lyricism and what they want to express. I can only think of Radiohead amongst other hugely successful mainstream bands who seem equally free, open minded and artistically ambitious. They're sonical universe is bigger and emotions at display more diverse which makes them unpredictable and more artistically interesting than DT (who are always semi complex metal in one way or another)

I vote Metropolis Part 2: Scenes From a Memory, it's a wonderful album amongst the best albums ever made, even today after all these years it still has an effect on me (playing it now).

I voted for both. I like them very much, for different reasons: - the powerful melodies -> DT - the great work on the rhythm -> Tool But, to be sincere, I dont consider these albums absolute masterpiecese of prog - though they are very solid. |

I haven't listened to these two albums in a very long time, neither is a favorite from these bands.
So no vote for now.

Though I don't consider either "overrated", none is my cup of tea. I don't think I can vote for one or the other.

I would consider myself a bigger Tool fan than a Dream Theater fan all around.

Scenes from a Memory for me. I do think Lateralus is overall more consistent, but nothing really stands out, and it doesn't remotely have the same highs that Metropolis 2 has.
