It's a good album, much different than their other one's despite what Vicarious may have depicted. It sounds jazzy and tribal.

Some of their songs even sound like Godspeed.

after numerous listens...in various environments, during various times of day, and in various mental states (no, not drugs...more like happy, angry, betrayed, sad, etc) I can say with 100% confidence that 10,000 days is a great album.

At first, I did not really "get" it, it sounded like an over-thought rock album that was trying to achieve the glory of the band's earlier releases. I couldn't have been more wrong. This album will blow your mind if you listen to it from start to finish. As much as I searched for reasons not to like it, and as much as I claimed that it was boring, a rip-off of earlier albums, or anything of that nature...the more wrong and pathetic I began to feel. Those were my initial reactions to the album which I maintained until ealier this week...then somehow it all made sense and I actually felt like the music was transporting me to a higher state of musical understanding.

I give it 5/5 as compared to all their other albums which I give a 4/5

I think Vicarious sounds like generic Tool-nothing new,nothing old.
I have yet to "Legally Acquire" anything else off of their new album.

Deadendz...it's pretty much like that for me too. For every tool album it takes a few listen for me to allow myself to get morphed into the music in full mode.

I'm buying this album tomorrow. Woot.

Yesterday, Hastings in town had a Midnight release party, where from ten to twelve everything used was 30% off. Awesome deal, not much of a Tool fan, though.

Aside from the first two tracks, this new album is a total SNOOZEFEST

Not all deaf people can't hear. I'm moderately deaf, meaning that my hearing decibal level is at between 70-80db. Profoundly deaf is 90 or above. Normal is 20-40...I think...

Anyway I'm sick of talking about my deafness. The new album is great but need few more listens to allow myself to sink in. I agree with proto about the first two tracks being the best of the album.

[Fathom Zero]

Well then, by your standards, I'm about 1/2 deaf in my left ear.

After listening to this album I seriously have to wonder if Tool have been listening to anything else besides their own back-catalouge for the past five years. I can't believe they still think they're still being innovative by having long tracks and playing in "weird" time signatures. 3 minutes of palm muted power cords in 7/8 or whatever is still boring. This is 75 minutes of no songs and no riffs to speak of. It doesn't even sound like rock and roll to me anymore - It's too meticulous and clean. There's nothing raw about it.

I am thoroughly disenchanted with this band. Aenima was cool though, wasn't it?

I should probably change my username but I really hate registering for these things.

Tool? More like STOOL! lolol

But you know everyone has their own musical tastes. Sorry for being a dick
