The new Tool album is a joke.

Please, the band doesn't want you to support this album... download it and hear it for yourself. Listen to the grand scheme... It's literally a joke, isn't it? I mean, it sounds like it... it's abysmal. Especially for a Tool album, it's REALLY bad. And Vicarious sounds like Schism reversed... gay.

If you buy this album, you're not Tool fan... you're a Tool fan boy, and the band doesn't like you.

The best part of the album is the mantra chanted during Intension and that's the only part that seems to have any thought put into it... well, it all seems like it does... but it's quite funny... if you know the Tool FAQ well enough, you might notice all the contradictions in this "10,000 Days". (LOL)

You're being trendy by fronting like youre "anti trendy" Pretty ironic.

Tool rules

Anti-trend... ahahaha... Tool does rule... their new album is fucking stupid. And people are still going buy it and like it and say "Oh, well it took a few listens for it to grow on me". Bah, you're all idiots.

your probably just gonna get flamed and thats it

Oh yeah, and way to avoid every aspect of my post regarding Tool and their new and shitty album. I like that... it's like you can't accept it or you you can't see it for the shit it is because hey, it's TOOOOL the greatest band ever!1 They probably still are one of the best but it seems to me that they like to fuck around with you sheep and that's hopefully what this album is... an actual joke... because man it sucks... the concept is lost... and the fact that it's constructed as a concept album makes it all the more funny. Directionless Tool wankery for the fan boys.

Don't make any response to the intent of my posts in this thread people, because then you'll be going against Tool!1 Insted try and weasel your way around what I'm saying and comment on what I'm doing or how I'm acting... that will get you're point across the rest of fan boys, that "Tool rules and what this crazy person is saying isn't true Tool rules".

Let them flame. That's what this thread is here for... to call out all the idiots who are completely misunderstand what faggoty Tool is trying to across to you retards. I only wish the band could admit it themselves and end this whole thing but why would they want to do that when they can put out any product they shit out of they're rusty assholes and make money off a bunch of idiots.

Send more money, fuck you budd-ay.

I just 'acquired' the album and I've given it a couple listens. I've been a fan of Tool since way back, but I dunno... I think it coulda been better. CocaCola is right in saying that Vicarious sounds like Schism.. it really does. :( That'd be awesome if this album were a late April Fool's joke.

I just don't like the fans that will buy whatever the artist puts out and then they 'learn to love it'.. even if maybe they never liked it at all. People hate to criticize their favorite bands. But I think Tool/Maynard can do better than this.. well, I know they can. Bleh.. It's kinda catchy, I do like a few songs.. but it's def. my least fav. Tool album.

use to listen tool a lot but havent heard new one has tool given any hint that its joke other than it beginning a shitty album or is it just a hint (maybe they were fucked up the entire time of recording.)

Awww, shit and I was expecting more flaming... =[

Oh well, at least someone has heard the album and judged it accordingly. Trust me, I wanted to like it as well... But after hearing the single I knew it wasn't going to have the natural progression that Tool has had since the beginning... they are just going to branch off and ruin their sound by trying to sound like others ie Meshuggah... Plus APC really fucked over Maynards lyrics... plus his vocal range has diminished, which didn't really surprise me at all since it was starting to happen during Lateralus... BUT his range has nothing to with how awesome his vocals were on the earlier albums... and Dans drums are ruined... and plus now it's VERY appearnt the he's using electric kits (Which he has been since forever but now he is using it as actual electric drums and not with the finess from the previous albums) And all those gay solos?? I mean, what the hell has Adam thinking? Awesome effects... could have been used welll but nope... WAHHH WAAOOHHH WHEEEE WAHHHH WIDDILY WAAAOHHHAHHH...

And I love the concept of these fucking songs... The Pot? WHAT THE FUCK? YA MUST A BEEN SOOOO... HIIIGH... Blah, sounds like Tool trying to be Clutch. Rosetta Stoned? Sunkist and Sudafed, goddamn, shit the bed? Oh so you're fucking Meth fiend now? What is the point? And what does Rosetta Stoned mean? Is that a character in this story? And Wings For Marie... I know it's about his mom and it's personal, whatever... MAYNARD, HEY... YOU SUCK AT WRITING PERSONAL LYRICS... and plus the song drones on forever (like most of the softer songs.. like Right In Two and Intension) and never gets anywhere. Jambi with it's immensly shitty riff throughout most of the song... their shifty, cross branching dynamics? Where did they go?

The whole album is set up gay... the songs are written in a gay matter... and it's just over all...

GAY.

I'm sorry for so blunt but hey they were one of my favorite bands too, one that I could rely on for a good album all the time, but now can't because you fucking douches can't stop drooling over them.

Get over Tool so that maybe they'll stop fucking around and put out a good album. Not a decent one... Tool is too good for that. Tool is to good for 10,000 days, which is why I say halt you're purchase of the album and just download it and hear for youself what a huge joke this is.

Why must people delve so DEEP into music and the bands info. Know all the shit about them, who thier mom is, what they did in 4th grade. Just fucking listen to the music you like. Simple

Heres a flame.TOOL sucks.

why do u say that? it's easy to sit back in a recliner all day eating potato chips covered in filth and garbage then say the music you hear sucks.

Hahah

Theyre visionaries and theyre also fcking rich. And they can actually play instruments, so dont hate.

I am a musician and i really am amazed by the complexity of these songs. My musician friends say that tool has truly demonstrated that they have mastered their art. :cool:

LOL, nah uh. Over complexified. Tool can't handle such things... they were better when they were REAL.

I agree... but it needs to picked apart so that people can "get" the joke, so to speak.

The new Pearl Jam album is jammin.

We have absolutely no idea what is going to get released when you really think about it. This IS TOOL we are talking about. I seriously can't believe that some of you who claim to be huge Tool fans are actually worried about being let down. THIS IS MOTHERFUCKING TOOL WE ARE TALKING ABOUT, YOU BITCHES.

Don't you get it?


There is something going on, and it is going to be EPIC. I don't care for those of who, who seriously think this leak is it. I think that is pathetic, and I don't really know what the fuck you guys are thinking. THIS IS FUCKING TOOL!!

We will not be let down. Chill the fuck out. It WILL BE EPIC. This leak was intentional.

I can't wait to get flamed by the bullshit losers who claim that this is it and that you are disappointed. I seriously feel sorry for you, and will expect an apology. It might not be until the 16th or 6/6/06, but I expect an apology.

Shit, for that matter, you should all write the band and tell them how you all were talking shit about them, and how you fell for their trap, and how sorry you are for trash talking them. And be sure to tell them how much you love their new work when you actually finally hear it.

You all are seriously fucking pathetic.

Oh, and another thing. To everyone flaming Anothertediousjaunt. Quite. He use to be just like you. He would tear me apart for saying that there was more coming. But he too knew that something was off, and eventually came around. Now look at him. He is convinced. As you all should be. THIS IS FUCKING TOOL.

^Tool fan-boy, but he's got the right idea in mind.

I've only heard the new song. I can't remember it, though.

i once said TOOL were total shit, until i came across the lazeraus album at my local Library, i had to renew my card as it was the first time i got something from their in over 5 years. but its an ok album, not something id buy but its a good album to chill out too.

havent heard their new stuff.
but now i think tool are an alright band even though im into more heavier shit.

I am going to agree that it is certainly not as good as Lateralus, Aenima, or Undertow. But I do disagree with you that it sucks. I was very disappointed at first as well, and I know they are capable of MUCH better. But I did listen to it more, and I have developed some level of appreciation for it. Vicarious does not sound anything like schism except for the intro. Jambi is one of my favorite Tool songs now. Intension is really mellow and like Disposition. Right in Two is probably the best song on the album with Jambi right behind it.

I am not a Tool fanboy, but even if this is their worst album ever. It's still Tool, which means that its STILL a hell of alot better than alot of other crap out there.

Listen to the composition of the album and it's songs... it's like they just pulled it out of their gaping asshole. And I ignore the stupid crap... why even bother with it? Why does it need to grow on you before you start to like it... what a shitty way to "appreciate" music... and yet almost everyone does it. Another set of songs to add to your playlist and play in the background when you're chatting it up with e-friends. Ugh... what a shitty way to listen to music... no wonder no one can hear that Tool's new album sucks. I doubt most of you even really listen to the music and how it's put together... all you hear is a song with a title...

May jesus slap you all with fish sticks and allow the platypus to sadomize you while induced in an acid trance. James Bond has bombed the building, malo night suckas. Yeah I know I ranted for no reason.

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.

Well, ok. I don't mind that I made a lame thread... just as long as it's clear that Tool's new album really sucks and that people are still going to be cumming over it because OH IT'S TOOL, THEY ARE INHUMAN11

As long as people have this mindset of making idols for themselves to worship, then they will always be blind. Tool is like the Golden Calf to alternative music...

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

Eh, apparently liking the sound of the music isnt enough. I havent heard the album, but i can say this guy(OP) is a douche either way.


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?

Appearntly, you don't understand that I'm talking about musicality... The sound of the album is great for you cause you're a Tool fan boy and think it's a natural progression for Tool's sound. (If you're actually a fan that is)
Unfortunatly, the new album sucks and it isn't a natural progression... it's a forced progression. "Hey, we can't think of anymore ideas... so lets try and make our muisic more technical!1" ... "Yeah, remember how everybody made a big deal about the Fibbinochi part in Lateralus? Maybe we should try and make more technical stuff liek that?!" ... "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.

haha...you are telling it like you see it! I don't have an opinion on them because I have never even heard of a band called tool until I read this thread... is there really a band called tool...google time just for curiosity now.

I retract my reply!

after listening to this album again, it really isn't as good as lateralus or undertow. I mean it's good and all, it just doesn't really compare to the greatness of their older albums.

i like the album but the only problem i have with it is the vocals get overpowerd by the instruments im thinking its due to the 210 bit rate tool deserves to be listened to in 320 bit rate im downloading another release of the album maybe it will have better audio quality and i can actually hear maynards vocals other than that i get pretty pumped from the song jambi it got me so pumped i threw my body against my book shelf and now i have to clean up this huge mess

I like it so far. I've been meaning to take it to the beach and lay out and listen but that hasn't happened yet. Maybe I have bad taste, but maybe I don't care. If ya enjoy it, then enjoy. If you don't then don't listen. That's my 2 cents.

Agreed..

I love Tool's old songs, they used to be really good..

I downloaded some of the songs, honestly, they sounded like a couple of 13 year old's trying to make a Tool coverband.

The Pot sounds like the most retarded 6 minutes of sounds i've heard in my life, sounds like kids yelling out subliminal messages.

Don't even get me started on Right in Two, sounds like they tried mocking an ancient ritual or something, they just got someone to squeel and follow some stupid cheap drumbeat.

10,000 days the song itself sounds like what I can play when I'm stoned out of my mind and can't think of anything to play, incredibly sloppy and dull, the singer sounded like he was shoving his scrotum up his ass...

I used to be a Tool fan, but this album made the Goonies album look good(if there even was one).
