I’m more of a 70’s prog rocker, started playing bass as Yes was peaking in the early to mid ‘70s and learned every Rush tune up until they went whacko on synths. I found Tool to be one of the few post-grunge bands with chops, but then by the 90’s I was pretty much over trying to ‘make it’ as a musician and mostly listening to jazz (although still playing any gig that came my way, any genre).
not completely my cup of tea, more of a Snarky Puppy guy these days, but props for coming out with a seriously good album 13 years(?) after the last one.

Reminds me of one of my close friends. He “switched” to jazz or cool music, and he had the largest collection of bootleg Metallica albums and tapes..and he gave it away. I was pissed because he didnt tell me and I would have bought them.
