Tool fans in here...
 

am i the only one who is NOT liking this new album??? :( some of these songs are annoying to the core. wtf?? PLEASE someone tell me im just listening to the wrong songs or something.

on "Jambi", Maynard sounds like hes just some dude screaming into a mic. :Oh crap

and "Wings for Marie" sounds like some drunk homeless dude grabbed a guitar and a crackhead with bongo drums and then started taping their "song" on one of those really old 1980'ish sound recorders.

wtf?? :( :helpme

the only song i think even sounds like TOOL at all is "The Pot". :2 cents:

you'd rather they put out a new album with same shit they've already done?

i hate it when people want bands to always sound the same..
listen to some AC/DC or CCR if you want every song to sound exactly the same.

ya I concur.. sorta.. it's like Tool is ripping off Tool... or something.

However, a lot of the new songs are in 5, which is really cool. :)

I like the pot, rosetta stoned, Right in Two, and vicarious a lot... the others... meh.

never been a fan but have over heard some of it in the office and have to say ill remain a non fan:2 cents:

I like it, think its great in fact!

It's called progression.
If they released material that sounds like the other TOOL albums what have they accomplished?
The new album (in my opinion) is solid. A few A Perfect Circle sounding songs but a great release nonetheless.
Maybe it's a grower for you?

I was never a fan but have to say that the exposure I have had to that album may in fact make me a fan. I am most impressed with them. I like that they a fresh sound while staying true to their fans.

maybe. every other album, i "got it" RIGHT AWAY and fell in love with all the songs.

this cd doesnt have alot of lyrics and thats the main thing i loved about TOOL, was their lyrics. that, and the insanly brilliant music & layout of the combo of lyrics and music that just flowed perfectly together.

new album = big dissapointment

i will use a screwdriver or a hammer on occaision. but i mainly just call my contractor to come when the serious tools are required. :2 cents:

The Pot is my favorite tune on the album.

phewww im not alone. i feel like its almost a fuckin sin to say "tool" and "bad" in the same sentence lol :upsidedow

I think overall the album is a letdown, however 10,000 days(the song) is one of the best songs they've ever created at least musically.

The pot is honestly just stupid. It sounds to me like MJK in his lyrics got too much R&B mixed into his ipod or some shit.

Rosetta Stoned is really fucking out there, "Shit the Bed" is just not ideal tool lyrics.

On top of that you would think after 5 years they would have less filler junk & more music.

Overall the album feels too literal, which just is not Tool as I have known them since Undertow.

Have to be my favorite band of all time...problem is I think people take them too seriously.

"Rosetta Stoned is really fucking out there, "Shit the Bed" is just not ideal tool lyrics."

Bare in mind this is not new for TOOL to have lyrical content that is somewhat odd/humorous.
Example:
Stinkfist - Obvious what this is about.
Maynards Dick - Obvious as well.
Die Eier Von Satan - A Hitler sounding german chant about a cookie recipe.

Not as strong as the last 3 albums but it is great.
:thumbsup

fuckkkkkkkk i just relized they're comin to Chicago (2 hours from me) next week and theres STILL tickets on sale too!!! but i dont know anyone around here that likes tool :( god damnit!!!!!!!!!!

Get 2 tickets, and find someone to go. Tool puts on one of the best concerts

i knowww :( tryin to think of what webmasters live around chi-town.....

I love Tool.. but this just has way too much same sounding songs and dare I say A Perfect Cricle type songs..

Too bad..I'll go back to Opiate and Aenima

So envious!
Tickets went on sale here in Toronto at 10am last week..and at exactly 10am we all went online to purchase and within seconds they were already gone.

I disagree. A good band is one that evolves on their own, not evolves in the same direction every other band is going. You look at bands like Pearl Jam who continue to keep their same amazing sound, but they can change and evolve as a group. Then look at U2, their old stuff was amazing but now they've converted their sound to "pop" because it sells, and they've lost a ton of loyal fans because of it.

maybe you'll like it better when you hear the hidden track in it..

put 'viginti tres' first and 'wings for marie' second in a playlist on one player and '10,000 days' in another player, and play them at the same time. IT SYNCS!! and sounds sick. effing genius.

i havent gotten it yet, their last one was the best one yet, hope this one can live up to it

I dont' care for it either, it sounds too cheesy, like shit i would hear on the radio already...nothing progressive or innovative about...almost liek they gave up and just did some normal sounding shit and didn't take anything to the next level like tool is known for

nothing innovative!? look up three posts
