TOOL - C/D!?

You should join this band! (best band ad ever!)

tool fans would love maynard+co. making farting noises on they're arms if they could get it!

i'd have more love for tool if they're fanbase wasn't so damned rabid and frothing @ the damned mouth! (see also-dave mathews' band)

"46 & 2, motherfucker!"

I'm just not into this kind of sound like I was. I still like heavy stuff, but jesus, are these guys ever stuck ina sonic rut.

Wotevah

Aenima is still totally classic.

Everything else, eh, could take it or leave it as Larry David says.

ever had a song played SO much that you begin to hate hearing it, despite it actually being ok?

yeah, that's how that happens.

tool fans will love it.
i give it a 'meh' and look forward to hearing this ALL over the place in about a month. esp. on the local "X" station!!!
they will play it once an hour, if not twice. yay.

When I saw them they had video screens showing all sorts of crazy shit, so it was the best of both worlds.

Actually, I think they're better live than on record. Maynard can flat-out sing -- he's best heard live.

the biggest surprise is that it's not a concept album, or even cohesive one. first track is about perils of tv, the third/fourth opus is about his mothers ascension to heaven. what?

ok-to-terrible segues, strangely placed back-to-back. but man...

wings pts 1 and 2, right in two, rosetta stoned cannot wait to hear these at coachella!

I do have to vent though: no Sacramento or SF shows? I mean, I like Oakland fine but WTF???

May need a little time/attention/patience, but once you get to know it all a little better: wow. (I can see how people with short attention spans who've gotten used to fast-food-type short and easy music will think this is impenetrably dense selfindulgence, but I think it isn't and these immense movements of atmospheric organic living breathing sound that happen to have titles work very well, so there.) (convert becomes even more converted shocka!)

hmmmm, that's a pretty broad generalization...i take umbrage, sir.

no, i can dig a 'big ol' jam-arama', but Tool's just Tool, and i guess that's all they'll ever be to me. better than alot of stuff, but i'll never cite them as something i'd WANT to listen to...

or maybe i could just make a mix of the songs i DO like!
*ponders*

a strange world indeed!

hmmmm, that's a pretty broad generalization...i take umbrage, sir.

I didn't say that everyone who thinks Tool's stuff is selfindulgence has a short attention span, I only meant that could be the reason for some people's hate. (but I explained it impenetrably densely)

The actual explanation of the title:

As Keenan explains on commentary on aMOTION, his mother suffered a stroke that left her partially paralyzed and wheelchair-bound. The length of time between her paralysis and her death was 27 years, or approximately 10,000 days.

A guy just brough the CD into work...it's absolutely nuts packaging, the stereoscopic lense thing is fucking crazy....alright I love you crazy ass math metal dudes!

The reactions, however, are exactly as low as expected: http://www.10000-days.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=1851 :
"that guy's a cocksucking dipshit."

"I agreed with him mostly, but i don't know what histrionic means so maybe i don't."
