Man the new tool cd is almost as lame as this thread.
oh right fucking on. as the one dude mentioned that they have mastered their art, they really have. the guitar is moving, great bass, sick drums, its all gravy. im listening to aenima now, and i hope 10,000 days is atleast somewhere close to as good.Quote:

you have no depth to your opinion. all your saying is that it sucks (it doesnt even sound like you gave it a chance) and yeah, some people get all into it, but they're just excited. It takes time for people to check their expectations at the door...even if they are low. everyone gets their own feel for it, and it becomes just another chapter.
so what im sayin is. CHill the fuck out, check your expectations (and your ego) at the door

To the OP: So what if you think its shit?
I'm not trying to convince anyone not to listen to the album... do whatever the fuck you want... I'm telling you... it's retarded. Tool have never sounded so bad (Or bad at all, up until now.) and I don't like it. If you don't like my thread... then it's as simple as not reading it... and if you disagree with what I'm saying... then I could care less... good for you... tell me about it, I'd liek to hear. Wow, you still don't get it... What's the point of this thread? To see if you IDIOT Tool fans would get all huffy at me for stating my opinion. Whoops, did I insult you're new favorite album? Good, that was my intention because I think it sucked. And Stangle, I did have "depth" but you didn't understand what I was saying... clearly, I didn't make several long posts about nothing...
Did you miss this one?
This post explains my dislike for the album. It's far from unlistenable, as it blows shit out of most of the other crap that's out now but... Tool is one of those bands that just don't know when to stop and realize that their music is starting to suck... like Korn.Quote:

"Hey, Meshuggah is pretty technical, lets steal off of them."
Sorry, I won't just listen to ANYTHING. Certainly Tool's new album is not worthy for such praise... but oh it's gonna get it from all the brainwashed fans... except the critics are going to beat this album into the ground. Casue they know what to look for... Yeah, I'm critical about music... Why shouldn't I be allowed to be critical? At least it's not like I'll like any shit my favorite band puts out just becasue it's my favorite band.
So what? THAT'S what. ^
Calling me egotistical from a glorified box because of my bashing of an album I hate... Nobody wants to read it? THEN DON'T. Let this thread die alrady, I've already vented and if you keep it up then it'll stay... which I don't mind, cause it just proves my point even further.
I dunno. So far, I like Vicarious. I'll wait and see like the rest of the world to find out if the 2nd of May yields a surprise two-disk album, or if that live DVD is ever going to show up, stuff like that.
Maybe not their best work, but better than Opiate at least. Still better than most shit I hear on the radio. If they've got a secret album in the wings I'll be all over it when it drops, but to be honest that sounds like a hell of a conspiracy theory, even for Tool.
Lateralus is a hard album to live up to. I'm seeing them on the 4th, I'll let you know if they've pulled it off.
Yeah, but Opiate was done in the beginning... after more then ten years of exponential growth, NOW they put out an albe that is "at least better then Opiate"? Think about it for a second... If they can't even live up to Undertow, how can they get close to Aenima or Lateralus? I hope there is another album... 10,000 Days doesn't cut it for me.
