I think people are being hard on the song but it’s not surprising considering 10,000 days came out when George W Bush was still President and there’s a lot of expectations. Personally I feel Maynard’s vocals are on point, the lyrics are good, the drumming is REALLY good- the only thing I can see being a “parody” (in reference to the last post) is recognizable guitar progressions that may feel tired to some people but I don’t blame them for releasing something familiar to start with. It’s been over a DECADE. I am a bit nervous as a whole on the project because 85 minutes long might be EXHAUSTING for 7 tracks but even if the title track was recognizable in terms of sound, it did fly by pretty quickly. I’ve heard interviews saying none of the songs were being made for radio or as “singles” in the traditional sense so I’m hopeful when I listen to the whole thing it all makes sense.

I gotta admit, now that the shock of a new Tool song has passed and the new song has processed in my brain I’m really liking it a lot more. I had a similar (but different) experience with Random Access Memories. When Get Lucky dropped I honestly thought it was fake, it wasn’t what I wanted at all and it took me a minute to get used to it but once the hype settled down a bit I really enjoyed it. This is different in the sense the song wasn’t a radical departure from their past work like RAM was, it’s so familiar and new at the same time- but I wasn’t sure WHAT to expect after such a long hiatus. There’s a lot of layers and stuff to unravel in this 10 minute song, but I’m really hoping the whole album is a great experience. Here’s hoping.

Tool will always sound like Tool, they have a “sound”. It’s not technically complex but it has a certain mood. Give me more songs like Parabol, Wings for Marie, and Right in Two mixed with a few bangers like Eulogy, Parabola, and The Grudge and I’d be a happy camper.

ICHIBAHN posted:Think that's asking a lot tbh I mean it seems plausible , we’re most likely getting 1-3 tracks that are “dark and mystical” like Parabol , and the others more like the title track and probably 1-2 heavier songs. We’ll see!

Nail Rat posted:7empest may be one of their best songs ever. Yeah I keep coming back to 7empest and Pneuma. 7empest is incredible. I dont want to burn myself out from the album, but after 13 years of waiting I've been letting it play in the background and every time 7empest comes back on I cant help but smile. Adam Jones redeems himself! And dat drumming. gently caress its good.

In the end they did what they had to do. Lots of people don’t like Tool. Lots of people find Tool uninteresting or uber pretentious or whatever we’ve heard for 10,000 days. But it’s a great Tool record, they changed their sound for some tracks, others have lots of familiar melodies and a WHOLE lot of layers. New thread title: gently caress: here we go again

H13 posted:Does the album get heavier than Fear Inoculum? I'm waiting until the release date and I'm not expecting it to, but I'd like it to... 7empest is the heaviest song, but not the whole song is heavy. It feels more like Lateralus. Definitely heavier than the single though. It’s so loving good, if you like Tool it’s hard to not like this song. (Obviously an opinion but come on.....)

I don’t have a favorite album, I love select tracks from each album and don’t really listen to the rest. From Undertow: Prison Sex Sober Undertow From Aenima: Stinkfist Eulogy Forty Six & 2 Hooker with a Penis Jimmy Aenema Third Eye Lateralus The Grudge Schism Parabol/Parabola Lateralus 10,000 days Vicarious Jambi Wings for Marie part 2 The Pot Rosetta Stoned Right in Two Fear Inoculum Fear Inoculum Pneuma Descending 7empest Personally I listen to 10,000 days the most though, I like the vibe of that album the most, then Lateralus, then Aenima, then Undertow. I’ll prolly end up with FI somewhere between 10,000 days and Lateralus.

Amazon still hasn’t delivered my copy. Argh. I want to play with the pretty packaging! Also the more I listen the more I love, Invincible and Descending really grew on me.

I used to hate the song and now I cannot stop listening to Rosetta Stoned. The build up towards the end is my favorite and I love the idea of this stoner guy getting contacted by aliens and not writing how the world ends because he forgot a pen. Also. poo poo the bed.

Still don’t get the hate for 10,000 days, it’s my favorite after Aenima and Lateralus (which is my favorite) I also don’t know what makes 7empest a bad song, I really enjoy it. *shrug*
