I remember from all the anti-Tool threads that a lot of people on the board were buying this too. For those that have it, what do you think? I'm still getting into it, but it's good so far.

It's good...and you might catch hell for not posting this in the "Other Music" forum."Hello Oregonians. Hello Washingtonians. Hello Portland..where the fuck are we? We're in Ridgefield!"0

I dont like it nearly as much as I did their previous stuff. I think that if you turned the record down and only kinda half paid attention to it, you would think it was all the same song. How it is that it will out sell 'Pearl Jam' is beyond my ability to comprehend.0 -
Starts strong and then....goes little soft & weird0

it is awesome album. I can't wait to see them live.0

The first single is very strong and should drive sales.0 -

Because Tool's fanbase is GIGANTIC, even though it doesn't really seem like it. To top it off, Tool's album probably got about 1/2 the advertising that Pearl Jam's album did. Pretty impressive IMO.0 -
just got it today, only on track 7 but i'm really diggin it so farstandin above the crowd
he had a voice that was strong and loud and
i swallowed his facade cos i'm so
eager to identify with
someone above the crowd
someone who seemed to feel the same
someone prepared to lead the way0 -
i like the song "Right In Two", especially the last few mintues..when it gets all fast and heavy. Best drum performance out of all the songs within the album.
best songs off the album (in my opinion)
1. Wings for Marie 1
2. Right in Two
3. 10000 Days (Wings 2)
4. Jambi
5. Rosetta Stoned
6. VicariousI chose living only for seeing0 -

Even paying attention i think they all sound the same. This is Lateralus part II for mine.
Its good but not great. Sorta like Riot Act. Good but not great.
Whereas 'Pearl Jam is brilliant!
You can hardly hear Maynard on some tracks, it really annoys me. On Aenima and Lateralus you could hear Maynard clearly.I had it all once I gave it back0 -
Anyone listen to The Pot with headphones yet and hear his voice kick in before it gets loud? It almost sounds like he's listening to the cd already in the background and then recording over that just a couple words late. You can hear it in the pause start the next line early as well until the guitars kick in. Almost like he's echoing himself to record it to the music.0

On Aenima and Lateralus you could hear Maynard clearly."I remember one night at Muzdalifa with nothing but the sky overhead, I lay awake amid sleeping Muslim brothers and I learned that pilgrims from every land — every colour, and class, and rank; high officials and the beggar alike — all snored in the same language"0 -

When I put the cd on my stereo system in my room, I can hear that....though I can't when i'm listening to the cd on headphones.0 -
I am totally digging the new Tool! The artwork is some other-level shit. My wife is totally addicted to it. I had to pry it from her hands yesterday when we were in the car. I didn't want her to get "car-sick", which she does very easily.Perhaps someday I'll crawl home, beaten, defeated. But not as long as I can make stories out of my heartbreak, beauty out of sorrow.

Wings for Marie, pt. 1 and 10,000 days (Wings pt. 2) is easily one of the most heartfelt and open lyrics Maynard has ever written. I hate to admit it but it almost moved me to tears. This definetly is an album that takes time to digest.Mansfield Sept 16,98'
