No, Tool is DEFINITELY math rock.  They have one song (Lateralus) which
has a measure of 9/4, then one in 8/4 then one in 7/4, and then repeats!

They also have songs named Parabola and Cesaro Summability, which are
both mathematical concepts.

Plus they had King Crimson open for them on some dates last year - 
how much more mathrock can you get???
