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.

    Wings For Marie & 10,000 Days (Wings Part 2) are great songs on the new album. Hypnotic stuff!

    The first two songs rock

    3 & 4 are in a class by themselves. It's the closest thing to Floyd I've heard in awhile

    5 is great

    6 & 7 are a waste of time

    8 could've been a great song if they did'nt try to be too strange

    9 blows

    10 is great

    11 is a waste

    I don't know the album that well but I think I agree with what you are saying, basically every song that is a "song" is great. I wish they would have released 11 songs rather than 6 and weird noises for the other tracks.

    someone above the crowd
    someone who seemed to feel the same
    someone prepared to lead the way

    well they are long songs. Metallica's master of puppets only has 8 and they arent as long as some of 10,000 days. I think tool maybe just were uncomfortable with releasing 6 songs in 5 years so they filled it up

    ps I actually think there are 7 good songs there

    That is a good point. Led Zeppelin 4 is only 8 songs. I think it would be fine if they only release the 6 or 7 actual songs without all the filler. No one complains that Led Zeppelin 2 or 4 has 8 or 9 songs because they are all great.

    yeah but it was 5 years. I'd feel bad about doing that many songs in 5 years no matter how good they are.

    What side are you on? LOL!!! You previous post seemed to defend them for only have 6 or 7 real songs and now you say since it was 5 years they should have more songs!

    I agree they should have released at least 10 songs no matter the length of the songs.

    No I'm happy with the songs but I am a relatively new fan of only about a year and haven't been waiting 5 years. I think the songs are worth it but I could understand if some people didn't think it was.

    Is it just me, or is somebody else not gettin the Floyd vibe in 10kDays. The spacey, moody vibe that is always present in Tool's music is about the only relation. Musically it is distinctly not Floyd.

    I think they are comparing it to Floyd with the weird tracks that are not really songs and the long songs. Obviously they are not sonically similiar.

    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 agree..it is their worst album..it does have its good moments, but it also has a lot of throw away material IMO. All in all, pretty mediocre if you ask me.
