Wow , Thats all i can say . BIG Tool fan here , what about you? . Love " The Pot " , I believe it has something to do with our beloved herb in a positive way .

[ssh]

Very un-inspired IMO. But not bad for tool. But that's the problem, sounds just like every other tool ablum. I should really listen to it more though to get a complete understanding.

how did you guys get the album? ive been reading alot about the internet leak being a decoy. i havent heard it though. im a little disappointed with "vicarious"s vocal style. sounds more like the band disturbed than maynard. however, danny carey is in fine form as usual.

Bitorrent is your friend (if you like the album, support Tool and buy it...if you don't like it, no harm done). If you'd like the torrent, and the WT Mods are okay with it, I can link to a great torrent with TONS of seeds (getting like 200kb/s). It's actually the entire Tool discography, but the new album is in there along with some rare/live bits as well...and the new cd is very good ; )

[Voltron17]

Is it the most amazing Tool album ever? No. Is it a good Tool album though? Yes. At first I was a bit worried as to what we'd get after all this time but after the first song kicked in, I knew where I was at, haha.

I dig that song, "The Pot", a lot

"You musta been....high."

i am surprised no one has mentioned "rosetta stoned" yet.

Just listened to Vicarious for the first time, which was found via a google search, and I'm starting to get my TOOL fix. Great track!

Looking forward to the new album on Tuesday!

I have been listening to 10,000 days for about a week now. It keeps growing on me. The whole sound of the album is different from Lateralus although some of the riffs and drumming sound similar.

If you like Tool you will probably like it. I also like The Pot, the vocals kinda throw you off at first but it evolves into a great song!

[sonicpeace]

yea those choppy vocals at the very beginning of "the pot" are sort of annoying. i still haven't really sat down and listened to this record in it's entirety yet. the one thing that stood out the most so far are the few moments of shimmering feedback and heavily delayed/chorus ala aenima. good stuff.

[Organo]

aenima does kind of have shimmering sound to it. very clean sounding. undertow to me has a kind of muddy, watery sound to it. while lateralus is also very earthy and tribal, but with a lot of space. anyone else's thoughts?

[quantum]

i got it on 4/20! its reallly goood!!!
and theres a song about being stoned.

I just saw them at Coachella. First time they have played out in 5 years. Needless to say, they were flawless. After 2 days of all kinds of bands, many of which i really liked, TOOL SCHOOLED EVERYONE. Even frikkin Madonna. They were far and away the tightest, most professional band there. The only thing that came close was Daft Punk, which was awesome too, but computers did the playing, not real musicians. Nothing like the sheer amazement of a crowd watching Dany Carey play drums. That guy is probably an android, considering his precision and energy, but the best possible kind of android.

The new songs live were much better than the album. They just rock so goddamn hard live; even my girlfriend, who doesn't like that kind of music, had to admit that they were in a league of their own.

I just downloaded the whole album and I'll go and buy it tomorrow. Got some C99, new TOOL, life is really good!

Anyone know if they are going to tour?

Late......Hand of Doom

[Organo]

i believe theres two large tours planned after they get back from the europe shows. was anyone lucky enough to get any tickets to the mini tour thats coming up?

I missed out on Coachella this year, man it sounds like it was fantastic! Daft Punk are fucking insanely cool live, I am green with envy. And when I read Tool would be there I about died. Whoever is in charge of booking and PR should be fired immediately for Madonna's presence, talk about killing your street cred...I mean, Tosca, Carl Cox, Atmosphere, Massive Attack, Mogwai, the entire lineup was unbelievable. It should have read: "Coachella: the greatest artists of our generation...and madonna".
