Tool is pretty great in my opinion, especially their live act. It takes a particular taste to really get into them, and you've gotta be patient enough to let the music grow on you. I thought Undertow was awful until I listened through it about three or four times; now I think it's pretty awesome.
What I can't get into is A Perfect Circle. Their music is made of hi-hat, politics, and fail.
I'll also put this out there: if you like Tool, check out the band Death, especially the albums Human, Individual Thought Patterns, and Symbolic. There's a lot of really great technical playing in there, deep lyrics with a heavy amount of social commentary, and it's great headbanging material in general.
