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

WE COME ORIGINAL FROM NORWAY BUT WE MOVE TO ARCTIC CANADA, MORE NORTHERNER THAN ALL PLACES.

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!

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

Chris Bergen, I don't know you but I love you.

― Sean Braudis (Sean Braudis), Monday, 17 April 2006 22:35 (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.

― NoTimeBeforeTime (Barry Bruner), Tuesday, 18 April 2006 16:21 (eighteen years ago) link

Album leakage, apparently. ("F*cking Mindbending!" and "Bestest Thing They Ever Done" are some initial quotes, but so are "Meh" and "Typical Boring Hippie Shit." Planet still turning, at the moment.)

― StanM (StanM), Wednesday, 19 April 2006 07:59 (eighteen years ago) link

The new single sounds pretty cool to me.

― Andrew (enneff), Wednesday, 19 April 2006 08:26 (eighteen years ago) link

it leaked, i got it, its pretty good. not too different from the last album. "Jambi" features a vocodered guitar, thats about it for innovation.

― fez, Wednesday, 19 April 2006 18:02 (eighteen years ago) link

is "jambi" an homage to the character in Pee-Wee's Playhouse? It would be, like, so typical of them.

― Munya, Wednesday, 19 April 2006 19:01 (eighteen years ago) link

did i mention that the last song sounds like an obscene phone call from Cthulhu? i think im gonna make a mix cd of all the creepy Tool interludes (and then toss it out the window and listen to Mohnomishe instead ;))

― fez, Wednesday, 19 April 2006 19:18 (eighteen years ago) link

this is actually a little weirder than the first single would lead you to think. i'm not sure if i like it or not....but i'll definitely give it several listens.

― latebloomer (latebloomer), Wednesday, 19 April 2006 21:51 (eighteen years ago) link

It's mellow. Needs a few listens certainly.

― Brigadier Lethbridge-Pfunkboy (Kerr), Wednesday, 19 April 2006 21:57 (eighteen years ago) link

I like Arsis!

― scott seward (scott seward), Wednesday, 19 April 2006 22:13 (eighteen years ago) link

Siegbran speaks for me on this thread.

― scott seward (scott seward), Wednesday, 19 April 2006 22:14 (eighteen years ago) link

it does need a few listens, and therefore won't convert the already loyal.

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!

― yours fondly, harshaw. (mrgn), Wednesday, 19 April 2006 22:14 (eighteen years ago) link

that should read: it won't convert people who arent already loyal

― yours fondly, harshaw. (mrgn), Wednesday, 19 April 2006 22:18 (eighteen years ago) link

I'm loving 'Vicarious' so far. As to mixed reactions...well, shit...Tool
always sounds like Tool, they've never really deviated from their 'sound', so to speak. That fact alone is bound to disappoint the unconverted.

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

― VegemiteGrrl (VegemiteGrrl), Thursday, 20 April 2006 01:28 (eighteen years ago) link

After the usual initial "huh? what's this?" during the first five or so listens I'm becoming convinced this is their best album yet.

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*
