    Maybe I'm being a little deaf here... but is there someone else singing on the start of "The Pot"? Or is it just a side of Maynard I never heard before? Aboot...love that bit!


    I love this album really... not as many useless filler tracks but it still flows really good!

    WRONG!!! Tool took 4-5 months to make this album. Just because it's been 5 years since new Tool that does NOT mean they have been working on it that long. Every member of Tool has side projects etc.


    So maybe they should have spent a year in the studio and actually put together some songs? Its a slap in the face to crap out this Ep after 5 years. And Vicarious is a song obviously constructed to be 'the radio song' for the album. It doesn't really fit together with any of the other songs and sounds like it was just written to be the single.

    Tool songs are the result of hours and hours of jam sessions. they don't come into the studio with bits and pieces. as justin says:" we keep playing and record it and see if there are any moments of magic and try to get a little bit lost in it." Which is perfect cause i frequently get lost in the music when i listen to it.
    and Jennytree, yes it is maynard at the beginning of The Pot. it's great to hear him in the forefront and not lost amongst the instruments.when i heard it on the radio early last week i thought it was great. and i still do. along with Jambi, The Pot is my favourite.

    take a good look

    hold my hand
    lie beside me
    i just need to say

    It's a great album, but you do expect more from tool (especially after 5 years). "Jambi", "Wings pt. 1/2" and "Right in Two" are absolutely incredible, but some of the other songs do not quite live up to them. Lipan conjuring is a cool song, but I wish it was longer and instruments were used in it. The last song is a waste of space, as right in two is a perfect ending. They should of threw in another instrumental instead of the last song. But overall, great album and it's definitely worth a listen.
