 Topic: Zero Hour vs Fates Warning vs Tool
Posted: November 13 2007 at 15:37 |
|
I prefer without doubt Zero Hour and their fabulous and awesome Towers of Avarice from 2001. Just super and Erik Rosvold the vocal is one of the best i ever heared from prog metal, no to forget the 2 brothers who di on every ZH album a great job. I also enjoy very much Fates Warning from the old prog metal scene, but i prefer ZH. Tool i can't stand, i can't listen not even 5 minutes of their music.

FATES WARNING for me, too. I'm in a minority, but IMHO, they surpass the other two (especially the overrated Tool) regarding versatility, interacting performances, evolving use of riffing, and compositional creativity.
Kind regards.

Tool for me,naturally.
I bought the Night on Brocken ALBUM in 1984 when I was 18 years old,so I am pretty familiar with them.I hated them at first,I thought they were Iron Maiden rip-offs.

They were Iron Maiden rip-offs indeed.  Today I find it hard to even listen to those first albums, although after Night on Brocken they started progressing considerably and diversified their sound up to the point where they began influencing other bands themselves. They've come a very long way.

Fates Warning crushes the mechanically-organized noise that is Tool...good band but not like FW.... Zero hour has no business with the other two...

Fates Warning!
Zero Hour and Tool are a tied second.

I am familiar with all three of them. Started with Fates W, passed to Tool and somewhere in the way found Zero Hour.
Fates Warning have my respect, Zero Hour are on the right way but...
My vote goes to Tool. They are by far the best... and their live performances are quite unique...

I am not familiar with Zero Hour.
Fates Warning rules. Can't think what would prog sound like today, were it not for Jim Matheos's amazing compositions/riffs and Mark Zonder's unbelieveable drumming. And Ray Alder is a hell of singer.
For more reference check A Pleasant of Shade of Gray, or Disconnected or Parallels, or Inside Out.
My vote is TOOL though. Inevitably Genius.

of the three, I only have a Zero Hour Cd (although Tool is on my wishlist...)
But I still said Zero Hour cause I do like the Cd I own of theirs. Well, I used to, but lately I haven't listened to it that much.
