10 Rock Songs That Mean Absolutely Nothing

As the '90s went on, Tool was getting more and more experimental with their sound. Though they had already bludgeoned the metal world with their debut Undertow, their follow up Aenima showed them getting much more artsy, which would culminate in their 2000s' masterpieces like Lateralus and 10,000 Days. Aenima clearly has a lot to say, but each track wasn't necessarily thought provoking.

In the midst of the interlude tracks, "A Message to Harry Manback" comes on with a beautiful piano section. Once you're lulled into the song, a distorted voice can be heard ranting at someone. You'd think a band that focuses on cerebral music would have a more eloquent meaning behind this, but this just ended up being another example of Tool trolling their audience.

Rather than come up with actual lyrics or a vocal melody behind this piano section, the disembodied voice is actually a voicemail that was on Maynard James Keenan's answering machine from one of his former houseguests who was not pleased about being asked to leave. Though this is easily one of the most mindless songs Tool has ever written, the band did think highly enough to make a sequel to it on their box set Salival. With Tool getting more experimental by the minute, it's almost a relief to hear that they still had a bit of humor about themselves.
