    I personally (and being a long time tool fan since Opiate) think this album is by FAR the weakest they have ever done. Its tool, dont get me wrong, but its lacking so much that I cant say its a great album. It just kinda sounds like songs that didnt make it onto Lateralus.

    Now the artwork is an ENTIRELY different subject all together. That is some mind-blowing stuff!!!

    I like the album ok, I just wish there were more actual songs. I think "Right in Two" is one of the best songs they have ever done.

    I am not blown away by the artwork like everyone else. Big deal a few pictures and 3D glasses? I think PJ's artwork is much better. Plus I like the lyrics included.

    the album as a whole is dominant ...

    vicarious - solid
    jambi - solid
    wings (all 17 min is one song) - like nothing i have ever heard
    pot - awsome
    lipan - can live without but cool to listen to
    keys - needed for ...
    rosetta stoned - HOLY FUCKING SHIT
    intension - similar to DRT
    right in two - good
    viginti trees - allows you to listen to wings 1 and 2 at the same time

    songs with lyrics over 60+ mins .... stop bitching about the number of songs. with the arrangements included, i am sure it takes a lot more time to compose these songs than 12 songs of verse verse chorus verse chorus
    I don't want to be hostile. I don't want to be dismal. But I don't want to rot in an apathetic existance either.

    I am a huge Floyd fan, and I hear similarities. If you don't, that's fine.

    It is not bitching. I said I like the album. I like it so much that I wish there were more songs that I would listen to more often rather than experimental bullshit that I will only listen to once.

    Since you seem to live and breathe Tool based on your name and signature, you should take a step back and look objectively. Maybe stop sucking on Maynard's dick (pun intended).

    Wings (1 & 2) and Lost Keys + Rosetta Stoned are the highlights of the album for me. As a whole, its a very good album but it has nothing they haven't done before...they haven't progressed as a band in 5 years.

    Is one of the best songs I have ever heard. ever. How the hell does Maynard do it? And how the hell do Tool do it? I mean, total guitar gave the album 9/10 even though they said there are only 5 songs worth listening to. I disagree, given that I really enjoy about 8 of them but still it shows that Tool have got something special and this song is a reminder of that. Masterpiece doesn't begin to cover it.


    IMHO Wings and 10,000 are incredible. Taken as a whole it's one of the most amazing pieces of music I've heard. If you haven't checked the lyrcis over at toolshed.down.net I would highly suggest it. Very moving... Listen to these two songs with good headphones and so much more will bloom.

    What's also cool is the play between "Judith" (A Perfect Circle) and these two songs.. Both deal with Maynard's mother but they come from completely different perspectives. The anger/heal scenario..

    Love the record.

    I totally agree. It's really interesting hearing him sing about his mother from the two different perspectives. I think Wings for Marie/10,000 days are incredible, and show a completely different side to Tool. This album is totally not what i expected, which in my view is nothing but a good thing.

    yeah, what this guy said!

    once you 'get' it, it's brillant!

    i'll second that, love the record!
