For the uneducated, what is so good about tool and which song would you have someone listen to to "get" it?

I think Tool is a really good band and are talented musicians. I can't say I was ever a huge fan, but a lot of my friends were back in the day. To this day, still one of the best, if not the best, live show I have ever been to. The band was tight and the singer really engaged with the audience. The moshing was really intense though to the point of being a little too much.
The singer actually stopped during a song and lectured some guys in the crowd for being too rough. He told them to hop in the monster trucks and go home. I can't remember everything he said, but I recall that he really layed it in to them.
I find the music a little bleak and foreboding, so I really need to be in the mood for it. They definitely aren't an every day or even every month listen for me, but when I am in the mood, I enjoy it.
Schism is a really good example of their talent, although I will admit that I don't know their whole catalogue.
