Is Govt Mule a jam band?



I've seen them classified as one, but I think it's a bit of a stretch.

It's pretty interesting that jam songs go on too long and you immediately feel it when it over stays it's welcome.

Yet Tool puts out a record with not one song under 10 minutes and by the time the song is over it feels like the length of a normal song. Black magic frickery there.


Long Tool songs, and others like it in the Rock genre, build to a crescendo. The song sounds totally different at 1 minute in, 5 minutes in, 9 minutes in, etc. Most of these jams are just that. Meandering guitar and organ with a consistent rhythm section.

Taste is taste. Nothing wrong with people appreciating music, whatever it may be.
