Salival is very good, for what it is. The live version of Pushit is definitly better than the original, You Lied (Peach, Justin Chancellour's old band) is just great, and No Quarter is a testament to Tool's talent -- taking a classic song like that and doing it arguably better than Zeppelin themselves is no small feat.
I don't know how Opeth got brought up in this thread, but if you weren't very impressed, I urge you to give them another chance. I got into Opeth through Tool (well, a Tool messageboard at least), and I was just about the biggest Tool fan in the world at the time, thinking that no one could possibly make better music. At first I was really put off by Opeth, the growled vocals especially... but after discovering their brilliant mellow side, everything just sort of clicked, and now I'm a gigantic, rabid Opeth fan. I went from listening to nothing but Tool all day, every day to listening to Opeth all day, every day in just a couple of weeks.
Both bands are great, though... they just have some magical x-factor in their music.
