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 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.

There were no expectations... no comparisons to any other album, Tool or otherwise... you need to check YOUR ego at the door, NARF!

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.

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).
