Was thinking about how creative and interesting 10, 000 Days is - The Pot, Jambi, Vicarious, Wings, Rosetta, Right in Two... And how normal and ordinary this new song is. Yuck. It's alright but it's just alright.

I'd be very disappointed in an album of similar tone.

Edit: weird thing I read on Reddit today and just confirmed: when Maynard says "mitosis" in Fear Inoculum, it is exactly in the middle of the song. I know poo poo like the Holy Gift is stupid, but that seems like it can't be an accident in such a long song.

What's the significance of this phrase?

Yeah thinking about Aenima is a bit of a shame, it's such a mammoth, diverse, interesting album. Lots of high points, the interludes add so much to creating an affecting dynamic. Their latter albums are unreal but more of a consistent theme, Lateralus and Fear Inoculum mostly.

I took the time to listen to FI on headphones yesterday, had the house to myself, lay on bed chilled out. Enjoyed it a lot. Then I realised I had my music player set to 1.10 speed (to get through podcasts quicker). What the gently caress.

Sounds amazing at normal speed too obvious

This album has made me realise two things. 1- all tool albums since Lateralus have been essentially 6 songs, with interludes. That takes away the disappointment with the length of Fear Inoculum.

2- 10 000 Days rules. Every song is incredible.

The title track is easily the best thing about 10,000 days. They might be known for playing with time signatures and being an "intellectual" band but Tool have always been at their best when some emotion comes through IMO, which is probably why I like Aenima the best. 10,000 days actually being about something personal instead of philisophical musings on the failings of mankind makes it hit a lot harder.

Very true

Yeah but have you considered the visceral experience of Rosetta Stoned being about eating Krispy Kreme and Taco Bell while high af on LSD?

If you read up on the supposed patient (Albert Hoffman) and the doctor (R Gordon Wasson) it's even better....although there's no reason the doctor would have an English accent.

Australian surely

I was there for the fake 10k days theory, I bought it entirely and was in deep. Good times.

Absolutely, it a lot of people being hopeful because I guess 10k Days appeared to be a little short on songs.

Same thing happened with King of Limbs.
