Just read this review...its been out for awhile, but it just really pissed me off. I am, and always have been a huge Tool fan...but its always interesting to see anothers perspective...
By the way, 10,000 days may be the best album ever...(bold statement, I know, guess I am one of those blind fans who considers Maynard a god)

Now for one last statement, I want to bring light to exactly how Maynard is the definition of the Politburo. He goes out and condemns those for buying lattes and even cars. Yet, he has been bragging about how he purchased a bottle of French wine for $10,000 (maybe that is what 10,000 Days truly stands for). That is a luxury item that actually does nothing for the economy. At least by me purchasing a latte from Dunkin Donuts I am keeping an industry alive thus making more have employment. To further insult me, Maynard purchased his own vineyard to manufacture and sell is very bad and poor tasting wine. Again, you condemn the economic system you so profit after. And yet, he preaches this social equality and has done very much to show how he is an elitist. Since he does not follow the beliefs he wishes to oppress on the public, he has become a Politburo in the Soviet Union. If you want the expensive meat, Maynard will get it, but not you. It seems the pigs in Animal Farm are what Maynard stands for you. The rest of you can be those lowly animals that work for the greater good. Do yourself a favor Maynard, drop dead.

Yes. there's in between...ME.
I can't say that I'm a big fan, the music isn't bad, the show I saw was very good but I can't understand the meaning of a band like Tool. I don't have the realtion with their music like I'm having with those from Pearl Jam, Ezio, Soundgarden or even the Beatsteaks. All these Bands have a place in my musical heart, they wake up feelings, emotions or just fun time but Tool, even if the music isn't bad at all, are "steril"for me. I always think that all their stuff is a pose, that their anti-economist attitude is just fake !!
Butt-head: This guy makes faces like Eddie Vedder.
Beavis: No, Eddie Vedder makes faces like this guy.
Butt-head: I heard these guys, like, came first and Pearl Jam ripped them off.
Beavis: No, Pearl Jam came first.
Butt-head: Well, they both suck.
Butt-head: This guy makes faces like Eddie Vedder.
Beavis: No, Eddie Vedder makes faces like this guy.
Butt-head: I heard these guys, like, came first and Pearl Jam ripped them off.
Beavis: No, Pearl Jam came first.
Butt-head: Well, they both suck.
good show
the reviewer called him a greasy punk.
mooncalf agreed" THe BANd
Same for me. They're all extremely talented, but they put some much into the music that you almost can't listen to anything else, it's like you have to make Tool a religion. And it's a rather creepy way of life, all their "recommended readings" and beliefs about conspiracies and mysteries.
I need to see a live show, and then hopefully the casual fan status will go up from there.

if you think any tool album is the best album ever, then yes.
tool is ok. they are better than most metal bands, but every song they ever released sounds exactly the same... which would be ok if they didn't feel compelled to release 75 minute albums with 15 minute masturbatory musical interludes. i don't mind them, but they are so over-hyped as to be a joke... them and radiohead. they both annoy the shit out of me becos their fans think they can record the sound of piss in a bucket and it would be genius, and worse yet, the band themselves bought into their own hype and take themselves so fucking seriously it's pathetic.
Butthead: It means that his friends are like turds and that they like suck.
Beavis: Heh heh. Oh yeah. Yeah! Get those spoons out of my face before I shove them up your butt!
Butthead: Huh huh.
Therein the latter - you probably hate them because you don't have a sense of humor. Maynard was probably joking about buying that bottle of wine. Like he jokes about waffles, here:

LOL.
Every song sounds the same??? Enlighten yourself and pick up a copy of Opiate or Undertow and compare them to Lateralus or 10,000 days...
As for the 15 minute masturbatory musical interludes you speak so confidently about...well, thats the fucking point. It's music...and the lyrics are only there as a compliment to that music. Some the most intense and electrifying parts of their albums are purely musical and not lyrical. If you cant handle actually listening to music, then maybe their stuff isn't for you...go pick up the new daughtry album
Tool doesn't make music with catchy lines...they don't make music for the mindless...they make music that is capable of speaking to you in the absence of lyrical manipulation, music that is capable of invoking thought and emotion.
And yes, their music is serious, so why shouldn't they be serious about something they put so much energy and effort into creating? Again, they really aren't trying to entertain, they are trying to speak, not necessarily through words, but through...(wait for it...be patient)...THEIR MUSIC!!! And those who fail to listen write reviews like this guy.
Go ahead and say Tool fans would defend sounds of bucket pissing...continue to miss the point...continue to feed upon the mindless thoughts of others...but please...PLEASE...don't continue listening to their music...becuase as our good friends would put it...IT'S NOT FOR YOU!!!
really nothing to say about this one...thanks for the laugh
I hardley ever go back to listen to it.
I am excited to see them again in june though maybe hearing some of the songs live will change my feelings about the album.
