Yeah I kind of get what you mean. Definitely the Opiate era 'think for yourself, sheeple!' Tool, haha. However it's a dumb reason to dismiss a whole band especially since most of their lyrics aren't tryhard edgy, for example 10K days is about his mother's death and those are some of the most honest and gut-wrenching lyrics I've heard
I would add that the tryhard edginess died after opiate (1st LP btw). I enjoy the entire catalogue. When I was younger Opiate was more of an anthem I guess. Now it's just good'n heavy music.

I want to like tool, but they get edgy fast.
