New Tool Album

[gcapel]

I got the new tool album "10,000 days" today. I must say It rocked me. Blew the last one out of the water. It's not just a few songs good. It's overall good. Ive listen to it about 6 or 7 times over during work.

The cd case has 3-d glasses attached. You can see pages of cool artwork in 3-D. How awesome. It was well worth the money.

That album sucked. It had like 4 actual songs and they all sounded just like the last album.

I DL'ed it a week or so ago and already deleted it. It WAS a good band, but now they are washed up has-beens and the Tool fans that are trying so hard to love this album just just can't let go of the past.

I saw this coming. I would listen to the entire album to give it a chance. I find your statement a slap in the face. There are a few overtones of the last album, but alot of the guitar work is much different. Bands change there sound a bit over time. It's called evolution. I don't know an artist that hasn't. And as far as "Tool fans that are trying so hard to love this album just just can't let go of the past". Show me something else new worth listening to.

who the fuck is tool?

[faderbug]

btw downloading is stealing from artists and listening to music during working hours is stealing from your boss.

[james123]

I could never get into Tool.I kind of like a few songs but they not really my thing.

[peopleperson]

Did Hole ever open for Tool?

That's just a dumbass statement and you're a moron for admitting you're a pirate. I used to respect you, but now I just think you're a TOOL. Anyway better to be a washed up has been than a washed up never been like you.

It's nice that you wanna argue with the grown ups. But unfortunately he couldn't have bought it off of itunes last week considering it was just released today.

I don't get it when people get pissed off at someone for having different tastes than they do.

[Cyrokk]

I'm going to pick it up in a few weeks, suck or no.

How is Danny's drum sound on this? He seems to have a different sound with every album. More thwack on Undertow, deeper on Aenima, and kinda weird on Lateralus.

I bought my album, just to clear that up.

[ericlingus]

how is listening to music during working hours stealing from your boss? You don't know that. He could be working and listening to music at the same time just like lots of people. What's with people on discussion forums trying to show their moral superiority all the time?

Hmmm...one word I'd use to describe the drumming on this album is TRIBAL. Lots of cool electronic and percussion stuff too filling out the sound on some songs.

Love this album.

While listening to music while working doesn't necessarily steal time from the boss, in cases where you are sharing bandwith with other workers, you are stealing resources. It doesn't matter much if the IT department doesn't have an internet policy, but if they do, then you have no recourse against getting fired for breaking their policy.

It's not a bashing of someone's opinion. It's a bashing of a bashing of someone's opinion. Outlaw is trying to make it seem like everyone who likes tool is an idiot hanging on to the past. Trust me if the cd sucked I wouldn't be listening to it.

It's cool man. If Tool had changed their sound Outlaw probably would've said that they were sell outs and had no more creativity. You can't win with people like that.

Who said I DL'ed it on company time?

Also, I am a firm believer in 'Try before you buy' given the recent absurd amount of shit being released by the music industry. How many albums have I purched with hard earned money only to find one radio song with 10-12 tracks of 'filler'? Way too many. And tell me.....as a REAL Tool fan, who had every intention to buy the album the second it hit the store, how could you hoenstly resist the temptation to get it before anyone else if given the chanec?

Don't give me your, 'Holier than Thou' BS. No one is free of sin or follows every single law to a T. How many of you fuckers ever smoked a bowl in High School? Good. Now sit the fuck down and get off that fucking pedestal.

That new album might be better than 80% of the music coming out of any genre these days, but it is by no means original. And anyone who is/was actually a Tool fan would realize that every album they have done has been vastly different form the previous. This isn't a question of 'evolution', this is a question to 'irrelavancy'.

[Werewolf10]

They are getting like "Rage against the Machine"... Not to offend anyone personally but, all their shit is sounding the same to me... I would much rather listen to "A Perfect Circle" not so much of a "one trick pony"... Not to offend anyone, we all like differant stuff, but its just my opinion.

[ericlingus]

people just get way too offended when talking about musical tastes. You always have to make sure to say IMO after a statement about a band. People are way too uptight about this.

Since when does a band have to put out something completely original every time they write an album? My point is bands that often do that are critisized tremendously for being sell outs. I'm sorry but when I put the Stones in I know what it's going to sound like. If I put Zepplin in I know what it's going to sound like. If I put Tool in I know what it's going to sound like. To some and perhaps a lot, that's a very comforting thing. Also I don't feel at all that every album was different. Maybe so in the fact that they progressed as a band to a certain point and they feel content being at that point but I don't hear a huge difference between the first and the last. Maybe about as much change as you would hear from Kill 'em All to the Black album but not enough to sound like a completely different band.

Also I'm by no means an Angel and I'm not throwing stones. It was stated that pirating is illegal and not generally accepted around here whether you do it at work or not and I stated that it was moronic to come on here and admit to it. I've done stupid things and in fact I'm smoking that "bowl" you talked about right now.

I remember when I used to smoke weed. Then I found better things in life......like heroin!

Well crack was cool but it really gets expensive, and Heroin....shit maybe when I was like 9.

[flamin-gitaur]
