[driftinggrifter2]

I like tool, but my friend is a huge tool fan. He's so pissed off, b/c the albums been pushed back a few times already.

I've been on top of it for a while, yeah, i heard it would sound a lot like undertow as well, but still keep the solidity of a single thought process portrayed by lateralus. I heard one of the tracks will be 20+ mins? that one could be internet rumors.
ne way, yeah, the album is expected may, maybe june. i'm seriously gonna nut myself on the checkout line when release date comes.

The best part about a new Tool album is a new Tool tour. They always seem to come to MN at the beginning and at the end of each tour. Its fun to see them twice Maynard disapears to do A Perfect Circle.

I was so dissappointed to miss the Haloween show here in NYC for their lateralus tour. I hear it was one of their better shows on the US leg of the tour. (Europe shows and Japan Shows are supposedly SO much better than US shows... lucky bastards.)

I saw APC here on their 13th step tour, it was a very good show. Lot of pple think they suck live cuz they don't have energy in most songs, but imo, it's not a band that makes you go wild, their purpose is to portray art, and maynard does it so well with the visual effects and art contributions from Alex Grey and HR Giger.

Some shows are great in that aspect; I saw a show up in Buffalo, it was Steve Vai and Joe Satriani and Eric Sardinas opening, and all three performing an encore together. A laid back show, everyone sitting down in a small performing arts theater, just appreciating the talent of the three amazing guitarrists.

Incase you guys didn't know already:
The New Album's name is (drumroll please...) "10,000 days"

[orestes]

definitely gonna go see at least 1 show and do all kinds of hallucinogens

[MNcarfan]

God its gonna be awesome. I am gonna camp out overnight at Target so I can buy it as soon as the store opens.

what do you guys think of the new song titles?
Sounds kinda tripy! Almost sounds like a Floyd albums song titles.
I think it'll be worth the wait!
Hopfully I get to see them again this tour, Lateralus was awsome. A real mind pleaser

[vinnym86]

i can't say much about the titles, but just looking at them as words, i like the titles on lateralus. however, i'm sure i'd have something different to say once i've heard the songs. till then, they are just words.

[xeroinfinity]

I suppose even after we here the songs, they are still just words.

Well I am pretty anxious to here them, though I will wait for the release of the album,as opposed to geting the bootlegs off the Net.

true, but you get the deeper meaning behind why they chose that word to be the title of their song. and looking through the list, you'd see how the album ties together, as tool never throw songs together, but rather has one song's message or thought segue into the next since undertow. for example on lateralus, 'The Grudge' (obvious, talking about a grudge), > 'The Patient' (justifying the grudge), > 'Schism' (def: seperation due to the grudge), etc. Their album is more of a story, read from cover to cover. i'm pretty sure they followed that format for '10,000 days', as well.

[xeroinfinity]

true thier albums over the years hav had a simular themes through out the entire albums and do seem much like a story. prety good ones too But I wouldnt say one song leads to the next on all of them.

I had heard this albums going to be kinda like thier first, Opiate, x10! I loved Opiate, so I'm sure this will be equally pleasing to my ears.

~ I'm gonna wait it oooouuuut ~

they do use some odd names for titles though, like 10000 days, thats like 27.4 years.....Hum, maybe i am reading to deep into it. Lol
at least it should be out in aprox 7weeks or so, Yea!

[vinnym86]

i heard it would be more like undertow. i'd say that's the heaviest tool sound. Opiate was a completely different sound, all together, not what tool has become today. You see, Maynard got a lot of influence from Rage Against the Machine, and Opiate was set to be a very controversial, anti-establishment album, very thought provoking and very sharp. Just listen to the lyrics of 'Hush':

"I can't say what I want to, even if I'm not serious. Things like.... Fuck yourself, kill yourself, you piece of shit. People tell me what to say, what to think, and what to play. I say..."Go fuck yourself, you piece of shit. Why don't you go kill yourself? Just kidding."
~Hush: tool

I'm not saying their views have changed, and as a band they have changed. their message in many cases are still the same, but the sound and deliverance is very different. i.e. lateralus, the messages were very poetic, cryptic, even. however, 10,000 days may be going back to being sharp, as even songs like Aenima were. i don't know for sure, this is all internet rumor, we'll be sure when we hear the album
