the new tool album is pretty good, but its bordering being nu-metal, which is a sickening genre. I love "Lateralus" for its spiritual/philisopical meaning and how talented Tool is for the kind of music they play. I mainly listen to folk, jam bands, radiohead, and Primus, and Tool is one of the few metal bands i really like. Instead of playing generic shitty pop-metal that all sounds the same like Disturbed or Slipknot etc. they play alot of diverse and musically complicated stuff thats very original. "10,000 Days" is still very good, but compared to "Lateralus", it's leaning towords the metal mainstream and sounds very produced. this is why I was sort of dissapointed by the whole thing.

Les CLaypool is still god though.
the dude abides Reviewed by the dude abides on . Les claypool Im watching a les claypool dvd. "five gallons of diesel" is what its called. Anybody else like claypool? i think he's the man. for those of you who may not reconize him by name, he is the bassist in primus, but also has various other bands. Fucking great shit. Especially if you like that funky driving bass. Its pretty good shit. i've seen him a couple times, an di have tickets to see him again in july. I can't friggin wait. I LOVE CLAYPOOL Rating: 5
