I think they have a take it or leave sound. I like King Crimson (another take it or leave it band) a lot so they remind me of them. Crimson actually opened for them a few years ago. Fripp and Buford just kill it for me.

What I don't like is the dark imagery but its become part of their brand. But the style just sounds right to me. Its because they make an odd meter sound even. And sometimes they let it go and then bring it back in. And I am guessing it has to do with growing up with progressive rock bands like YES and Crimson and to some extent Zeppelin who also did that. For me it makes the music easier to listen to.

Regarding the goodwill part of stardom: From what I know about you from this board, You would be awesome in situations like that. You would be a natural because you are probably great with people in general.

Edit: I just found this video of the Tool drummer talking about Crimson. I thought it was pretty cool and answered some things. Got to love the internet sometimes.
