    I can't get into the Wings/10000 Days nor Intension. Rest is awesome. Rosetta Stoned is probably in my top 3 Tool tunes.
    Rosetta Stoned = epic! Yeah top 3 for sure!

    Three days into my 10,000 Days constant car rotation and I don't know if I'm gonna make it to Friday before just switching to Undertow until release day.  I still cannot get into that album.
    That is whats great about Music, I'll take 10,000 days over undertow everytime.

    I love 10K days, but it's easily my least favorite of the albums. (not a knock on 10k days at all... the bar's set incredibly high here)

    I'm in the office on my second play through of Undertow at this very moment... 25 years later & it sounds as amazing now as it did when I was first listening to it driving to high school circa '94.


    10 days folks... only 10 days.


    Does anyone have anything planned for their first listen? I've held off on listening to Invincible & Fear Inoculum, so with the exception of Descending, it will be a brand new experience for me, I'm pretty excited.

    I have a little bit of 'cybin I've been saving for a rainy day... I'm thinking of scheduling a few hours of alone time Friday or Saturday night to have one hell of an experience for my first couple of listens.

    Cant get into 10000 Days? Wow. Maybe it's the atmosphere of driving?

    Jambi and Right in Two are off the charts incredible imo. Gonna get the good headphones now, thanks to you!
    Jambi is great!

    Man, I need this thing to leak but I doubt it will!  After a VERY slow year, this album kicks off an incredible month of releases for me!

    I am guessing it leaks a couple of days before release since retailers will have it delivered to their story by then.

    Nice I am so pumped to hear 7empest. I am tempted to jump right to it but I know I should probably listen to the album in order.

    Me too. From what I read it's the only song where Maynard uses more aggressive raspy Tool like vocals which I love. He doesn't have to scream for me I love that approach way more.

    People were intimating 7empest was a 20 minute epic. Looks like it's 15-16 so not much more than Third Eye-maybe people counted the segue after it.

    It is strange to me how they have an affinity with closing their albums with segues and weird shit considering they have one of the most gargantuan closers in music history.

    Going to try avoiding reviews too... I really want to go into this with my mind as open & my expectations as minimal as possible.

    Same. I should probably quit visiting this thread now that the time is nigh.

    Same. I have not listened to the first song released the other week since. Want to keep it fresh.

    Still no word of a standard CD release?

    And no word of a tour to complement their album release. 

    What is it with 90s hard rock bands??

    There was a link to a retailer a page or two back that made it sound like vinyl and a standard cd would be coming in the next couple months.

    Haha, I've been toying with the same idea.

    There haven't been too many spoilers here though, and I've been avoiding the comments talking about the new single. I don't want any reviews to form any expectations in my head.


    9 days left people!!!
