    Oh Tool, how do I love thee?

    Good men...such talented men.

    Each time seeing them live, what an experience! So...fulfilling. Like succumbing to an amazing meal, if that makes sense.

    Does anyone have a hard time hearing the vocals on their stuff. It sounds really, really distant to me.

    Agreed, though I'd put Lateralus up there too.

    evenflow, nope...can't say Maynard sounds particularly weak or strong in terms of loudness (mixing?) - has always sounded perfect / balanced to me.

    I suggest a Q-tip. Kidding. Maynard has some mad pipes when needed. The Grudge has a nice 25 second stretch of keeping a tune without taking a breath...more of a scream but you get the point.

    Yes.. His vocals on The Grudge are epic... One of my fave Tool songs. They opened with it when I saw them in 2002 and blew my mind...

    http://www.rollingstone.com/music/news/tool-explain-why-they-havent-put-out-a-new-album-since-2006-20140715

    At least they are trying!

    so, on that last tour, I ponied up for one of the VIP tickets with the meet and greet with Adam Jones.... worth every penny, but anyway...

    He never hinted at a lawsuit regarding artwork, however, he did talk somewhat at length about the "digital download" aspect of their law suit with the record company.

    According to Mr. Jones, Tool is still on it's original record contract from 1991... they signed a 5 album deal, and they have been in quite a legal battle with the record company over who will own digital sales (notice you cannot purchase Tool on iTunes), as it was not defined in the original contact....

    I gotta think that is effecting the latest release of material also...

    That being said, I also have a sneaking suspension when the 5th and final album of the contract comes out, shortly after we'll see the floodgates open. When Adam was describing their their writing process, it became clear that they literally must have thousands of hours of recorded music that is sitting around somewhere partially finished....

    I am dieing for new Tool... seeing them from the 2nd row has one made me more eager to see them again.... amazingly different experience sitting in the second row directly in front of danny....
    Houston, Texas... Believe it or not, there are 7 million people here... must be a couple of fans who'd love to see you play.

    I aw them in Kingston, Ontario and it was GA in front. Totally the way to see them. Couldn't imagine standing still for these guys, hopefully you get the chance next tour.

    I'm hoping the patience pays off and wonder if this is a bit of a ruse and they'll be announcing something shortly. Then again, I've said that about every time Tool has popped into the news The last several years.

    Surprised that anybody thinks that 10k Days was their peak or even remotely as good as Aenima or Lateralus. Not a horrible album, by any stretch, just doesn't feel quite as inspired or seem like a full cohesive piece to me.

    Always loved the way the vocals sit in the mix. Maynard, along with every other member sorta stands out when it's necessary, but otherwise there aren't many examples of bad mixing in their entire catalog. One of the benefits of being a 4 piece band, I suppose.

    I like Lateralus more as an album than 10,000 Days, but Jambi blows my mind every time I listen to it.

    Edit- oh and the tix cost me $85 back then from a second hand market! Oh the days of front row for under $100!
