I'm feeling disappointed with 10,000 days. There are a few really good songs on here, but to me it's nowhere near as good as AEnima, Lateralus, and Undertow.

Seems like the whole 2nd half of the album is filler.

    Keep on listening to it, it will get better and better each listen. The first few times I listened to it, I was dissapointed, but after about the 3rd listen, I fell in love.

    don't feel like you have to convince yourself to like this. It is indeed quite lacking.

    its an EP with a bunch of filler noise..........and none of the real songs are standouts or really memorable. Thy are jsut ok. Any tool fan who is not a sheep fanboy should be slightly disapointed with this

    YOU STARTED THE EXACT SAME THREAD YESTERDAY, WHY NOT JUST BUMP THAT INSTEAD OF AGAIN, MAKING ANOTHER THREAD.

    Yeah 10,000 Days is disappointing!

    Thanks heavens 'Pearl Jam' is damn brilliant!
    Also the new Gomez album has slipped under the radar. Usual quality from them!

    Also Muse have a new one out soon so dont waste time listen to average stuff (10,000 Days) and get into these other albums
    I had it all once I gave it back

    Actually, my first post was asking what people thought. My second was giving my thoughts so far and how I was finding it disappointing.

    I should have probably just bumped the other one, but forgot. Sorry.

    10,000 Days isn't dissapointing at all. Sure it's not as good as Lateralus or Aenima, but come on, do you really think they could top those 2 albums?

    I agree that in 5 years time you would have thought they could have come up with more music and less filler crap. Although I do love a couple tracks on the album there are really only like 7 songs.

    PS- Have you played 'Intension' backwards for the 1st 1:30 ? If you do you will find a little message from Maynard.

    It is better then Lateralus in my opinion. It took a few spins though. Roseta Stoned is amazing. One of the best Tool songs I have ever heard.

    The actual songs are better than Lateralus, imo, but wheres the quantity. The new Tool album has 6 fuckin songs. Give 4 monkeys 5 years and a million dollar recording studio and they could come up with more quality material.

    It didnt take them 5 years to make............ blah blah blah. It doesnt take 5 years for musical growth. Led Zeppelin did it every year.

    Ok. The songs are longer then normal songs so I guess you can make the arguement that the 6 songs are more like 10 songs. (I am not trying to make an arguement but I have heard this elsewhere) But I can see your point. I actually don't mind the filler songs. Do you like song 10 and beyond on Lateralus? I know many people who don't like the direction Tool has taken. I know of people who bought Lateralus and sold it back as a used CD. In my opinion the new CD is great. My sister saw some of the new songs at Coachella and said they blew her away. She likened it to Pink Floyd.

    agreed. i've never been a big tool fan so i'm probably not the best judge of the new music. i dig 'vicarious' kind of, even though it sounds like something off of lateralus. and 'jambi' and 'the pot' kick a great deal of ass. i totally dig those tracks. other than that.....not much on this album for me to really enjoy. i don't get what all the fuss is about

    I don't understand how everyone is calling the second half of the album filler. I'm assuming everyone is talking about every track after The Pot. Lipan Conjuring and Viginti Tres are really the only filler songs on the record. Lost Keys is a setup for Rosetta Stoned and Intension is a perfect segue into Right In Two. When you look at it that way 10,000 Days actually has less filler tracks than Aenima and Lateralus. And I have to agree with one of the posters above me that Rosetta Stoned is one of the coolest songs Tool has ever released. Once I actually figure out all of the words i'm sure it will be even more badass :)

    don't put the blame on TOOL because you're too inept to take yourself on a journey without being guided by some one else's words.

    jeez...no kidding. I wont argue that theres no "filler" on the record, there obviously is...but theres no more or less than either of the post-Undertow records, and everyone seems quite keen on those. And Intension is a distinctly different song from Right in Two...they dovetail, yes; but they're two distinct entities.

    Well, despite your attempt to preempt valid opposition to your statement, it *didn't* take them five years. And Zeppelin's early full length's had eight and nine fucking songs, which is one-to-two songs more than this record, at half the length. That's a retardo comparison to make.
    "Many of Pearl Jam's most loyal fans are teenagers who do not have the money to pay the $50 or more that is often charged today for tickets to a popular concert...we have made a conscious decision that we do not want to put the price of our concerts out of the reach of many of our fans." 6/94

    inept? just because i don't appreciate pretentious, moody bullshit by a band that has put out 4 albums that all sound the same?
