This is perhaps the most in depth analysis of a Tool song I have read. It reminds me of the analysis you wrote about the film Harold and Maude, pointing out the obvious with a twist of lemon :). Although, I always assumed the religiosity in their music was more of a mockery of religion than anything else. Monotonous is not how I would describe their sound, more like beautiful beats that echo between my ears. And that drummer...[insert drooling emoticon here].

How would you interpret the religious symbolism as mocking those religious beliefs? Googling around says that he is religious:
"some recent events have led me to the rediscovery of Jesus" [1] "My views against Christianity or religion in general are directed towards the 'middle men'-those who are in power and use religion as a market force by which to manipulate human beings for their own personal gain [and not the core religious beliefs themselves]. The middle men taint any purity of spirituality that could result from genuine religious/mystical experiences" [2] [1] http://www.mtv.com/news/1...-the-conclusion/ [2] http://toolband.ru/forum/...ames-keenan.html
