Tool are extremely creative. Name one band that sounds like them that came out before them. You can argue the "awesome" and perhaps "epic" part ("epic" is usually synonymous with "slow, boring, dull" anyway.. Lord of the Rings is described as "epic".. yeah, I'm going to not use "epic" as a compliment anymore, it's been associated with too much bullshit).
...Even Tool's interludes/filler tracks are amazing. That song ions? With the electric/static going from speaker to speaker? That shit is amazing!
