>> No.17215464

i feel like most literary references are to literature you read in high school or in pre-major survey courses.

like referencing ozymandias really doesn't impress me unless you're doing something really creative with the reference

You might like Comus. They were a prog rock band who modeled their sound after a vision of what the wild festivals and revels of the son of Dionysus must have been like. First Utterance is a very special record because it completely succeeds at this. It's so alive and real that the instant beauty and freedom and closeness to nature of the ancient Greeks and the true frenzy of their obscure ceremonies feels totally apparent in every song, it suddenly clicks and you feel witness to a different mankind so much younger and free and infatuated with love of the world and nature that only someone who sees thousands of gods everywhere around him can have. It's a wonderful album and I encourage you all to listen to it.

Tool has a lot of literary merit. Because of my deep knowledge of and extensive readings into the Pre-Socratics, Plato, Aristotle, Hinduism, Buddhism and various other esoteric and wisdom traditions, I've picked up on a lot of interesting references your average stoner or metalhead type simply wouldn't get. For example, Parabol/Parabola is obviously about metempsychosis.
