I found a torrent from isohunt and quickly burned myself a copy a few hours ago, and am currently about to finish the album for the first time.
I haven't even listened to the lyrics as I'm just absorbing the music and reading reviews right now, but I can tell you that from reading about the contents of some of the songs that you may be correct about the concept of this album being a joke. As a matter of fact, the idea had been floating around my head since I'd begun to read. I honestly wouldn't put it past the band. I'll analyze some of the lyrics and get back to you if you're up for a discussion.
And excuse the fact that I've only read the first couple of posts if I missed anything.

I like tool, I've liked them for a while (ogt, back in '92, from the first EP)
I'll buy this cd, because I like this band and I beleive in supporting artists. If it sucks, then it does and that is ok because I like them and I wouldn't drop them or talk shit about them just because of a few bad judgement calls.
I have a friend who is a musician, he's sung a few bad notes, written some hokey songs...but we are still friends.
Tool has three groundbreaking cd's that came out and blew everone away, the music industry and fans have been waiting for this new album and expectations are so high for it to be the next savior. To meet everyone's expectations this album would have to get you high, do your dishes and give you head to be better than the other three and even if it did all those things there would still be dicks out there critisizing the high, the housework and how awkward you feel the next day after having sex with your cd. I think I'd like to make my own mind up about this new thing without taking the hyper critical anti-fan approach.

Much to Kurt Loder's -and any other reporter dumb enough to accept it as fact- chagrin, it turned out to be a big laugh.

I always think of Wings for Marie and 10,000 Days when I think of this.. the former had some very nice, I thought, moments (actually, the moments I'm talking about are duplicated in the song after it, toward the end), and I loved the intro to 10,000 Days. I love that bassline, and that thunder is effective.. there's so much potential in that song.. you get the feeling you're about to witness something phenomenal, 'cause after all, it's Tool damn it - and the song doesn't go anywhere. After all the bashing, though, I still appreciate and enjoy the album despite its lulls and repetitive disappointments.
I know I forgot to include something. I *always* do.

Maybe "The Pot" is about www.cannabis.com. Perhaps he anticipated our bitching, and he is the true genius prophet who can do no wrong after all, and we should all drop down and worship the lord and disappointing albums. Yes.. yes, I think it's evident that this is what Maynard intended.. Hallelujah, FINALLY the instant higher moral ground I was looking for!

Holy shit I got tired of reading. Just wanted to put in my $0.02. The new Tool album does not suck, but it is obviously not their best work. They JUST got back together; maybe they're not in the groove yet. I heard "Vicarious" and "The Pot" live at Coachella Music Festival. During the beginning of "The Pot", there were some boo's and some expressions of disapproval. But those ended as soon as the guitars started up. And "Pork Soda" is, indeed, the shit.

The new Tool album is a joke.
omg i downloaded the new album and it sounds like shit, i downloaded it because i heard tool was a good band but if they sound even remotely like they did in 10,000 days then they suck. HARD.
but seriously, i usually like all music but i couldn't finish even a single song on that album because they were all SO bad.
honestly i cant even hear any variation in their tone/beat/sounds and thats saying alot cause im a pothead who LOVES music.
so my opinion is that the new tool album is for tools.

Never understood the hype with this band. The music kind of bores me although I enjoy their clay-mation music videos on mute. I dunno man maybe I haven't heard the right songs by them.
