somewhat/almost in a nostalgic way but not quite-classic...not really but, hey...they've got FEW songs i can enjoy.

tool fans= the uber-dud of all duds! make ICP fans seem like low-key intellectuals.

that cover looks pretty ionic.

three weeks pass...

Vicarious, the first single, is out there somewhere. 7 minutes of classic hypnotic Tool riffage, drummage and screamage (it's them, no doubt about it, no enormous style departures). Can't wait for the rest.

― StanM (StanM), Monday, 17 April 2006 08:24 (eighteen years ago) link

yeah...it's ok. it sounds just like the last album.

yeah not exactly catchy, is it

A friend once went to a Tool concert and reported afterwards that all Tool fans are somewhat overweight. When pressed to explain his theory, he said that all of the kids at the concert were packing some serious heft. The theory was not that overweight people are attracted to to Tool, but that Tool makes people overweight. After all, what else are you going to do while listening to an 80 minute long album besides make yourself a couple of banana and peanut butter sandwiches and some strawberry Quik?

it sounds pretty great to me. i'd be very happy if the new album sounded a lot like the last one, anyway, as that's by far my favourite tool album.

― toby (tsg20), Monday, 17 April 2006 11:20 (eighteen years ago) link

They have inspiring lyrics and a whole array of emotions.

I enjoy Tool a lot, but I disagree with this statement.

― billstevejim (billstevejim), Monday, 17 April 2006 12:14 (eighteen years ago) link

They're ok, but they lean towards a dud for me. There's something about them that just bothers me.

― Harpal (harpal), Monday, 17 April 2006 15:49 (eighteen years ago) link

Total and complete dud

Every Tool fan I've ever met has somehow convinced themselves that Tool are these untouchable musical geniuses.
Also, every Tool fan I've ever met listens to really shitty music.

xpost: (1 YEAR AGO!)
I listened to part of that Mastodon record today

To me, Mastodon and Tool have very little in common,
and Mastodon PWNS

I like both Mastodon and Tool quite a bit. Chris, accept the love.

Vas from Byzantum has posted on ILM several times actually.

This sounds like someone running metal riffs through a time-stretch plugin

― Chris Bergen (Cee Bee), Monday, 17 April 2006 16:23 (eighteen years ago) link

(Time-streched metal riffs = Better than Tool)

― Chris Bergen (Cee Bee), Monday, 17 April 2006 16:32 (eighteen years ago) link

or STRETCHED, even

― Chris Bergen (Cee Bee), Monday, 17 April 2006 16:33 (eighteen years ago) link

People usually complain about Tool being too art-wanky, not being art-wanky enough.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Monday, 17 April 2006 16:34 (eighteen years ago) link

really this is the one that takes the cake:

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

― latebloomer's jazz oddysey brought to you by kellog's corn flakes (latebloomer), Monday, 17 April 2006 16:36 (eighteen years ago) link

Okay so like, when you read that ad, and then listen to the MP3s...
it *HAS* to be a joke
the first MP3 is so absurd!

― Chris Bergen (Cee Bee), Monday, 17 April 2006 16:44 (eighteen years ago) link

I'm so glad you pointed to that thread, I might have remained forever ignorant of Epsilon Rising

― Chris Bergen (Cee Bee), Monday, 17 April 2006 16:50 (eighteen years ago) link

"or: Tool fans will love it, Tool haterz will hate it. ^_^ "

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)

― eedd, Monday, 17 April 2006 19:04 (eighteen years ago) link

oh thats true of any group of really rabid fans

― latebloomer's jazz oddysey brought to you by kellog's corn flakes (latebloomer), Monday, 17 April 2006 19:41 (eighteen years ago) link

the frothing comes so naturally once youre rabid

― fez, Monday, 17 April 2006 19:44 (eighteen years ago) link

I saw Tool live once. They were incredibly boring. Their songs are only good when accompanied by the videos.

― pdf (Phil Freeman), Tuesday, 18 April 2006 00:21 (eighteen years ago) link

That new single is meh. Like that other guy said, sounds exactally like "lateralus", which was a pretty shallow version of "Aenima", which I personally feel was their peak.

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

― Erock LAzron, Tuesday, 18 April 2006 00:42 (eighteen years ago) link

OTM.

― latebloomer (latebloomer), Tuesday, 18 April 2006 00:46 (eighteen years ago) link

Oh ye of little faith.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Tuesday, 18 April 2006 00:47 (eighteen years ago) link

Well I mean, I liked Lateralus fine, I just don't need another album just like it. Still, being the die-hard I am I'll buy the CD when it comes out.

Aenima is still totally classic.

― latebloomer (latebloomer), Tuesday, 18 April 2006 00:49 (eighteen years ago) link

has anyone else said the la-da-da-dee-da-da part on vicarious is fucking fantastic?

― yours fondly, harshaw. (mrgn), Tuesday, 18 April 2006 01:06 (eighteen years ago) link

How can people not think "Prison Sex" is utterly classic??

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

― richardk (Richard K), Tuesday, 18 April 2006 15:46 (eighteen years ago) link

"How can people not think "Prison Sex" is utterly classic??"

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.

― eedd, Tuesday, 18 April 2006 16:02 (eighteen years ago) link

heard 'vicarious' a few times now...
it's 'standard tool' sounding. nothin too fancy.
nor anything too thrilling either.

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.

― eedd, Tuesday, 18 April 2006 16:12 (eighteen years ago) link

I saw Tool live once. They were incredibly boring. Their songs are only good when accompanied by the videos.

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.
