New Tool album

Well then...King Sunny Ade

 

I think he’s more the Disturbed/Metallica post-And Justice crowd.

 

Tool’s got some really good stuff. I don’t get the people that WORSHIP them (and neither does the band) though.

 

King Diamond....Neil Diamond...sam same

 

Fuckin brutal lol.

 

That entire album sounds like 46 and 2... i'd rather listen to Metalheads cassette(seriously convert to digital lol)

 

i'll let you know when i can actually find a copy of the cd to buy. seriously, how do you f up a release this badly unless you planned it?

 

Lol no one releases CDs anymore.

 

Opiate was their best work by a long shot. I enjoyed several songs on Undertow but everything after that kinda sounds the same to me.

 

I think this is their best work. 7empest is their best track.

I've listened to it about 5 times. I started off ambivalent, then thought it was a clone of their earlier work. It's gotten better each time.

I think higher end audio reveals more meaningful detail here than their previous work, too.

That site should call itself the Babylon ♭.

 

If you can't differentiate between 9/8 and 3/4 time, TOOL isn't going to be that mind-blowing to you. The band is a lot more interesting if you have at least a surface understanding of how the sausage is being made. They've gone a little off the deep end trying to pull off complexity for complexity's sake.... but from a technical standpoint the band is an airtight collection of intriguing musicians all trying to attain perfection in a form that doesn't have perfection. I can respect that.

 

So, poncy prog-rockers with delusions of jazz. Just as I suspected.

 

Not sure what you're talking about... I had the limited edition cd hand delivered to me at home saturday morning.

Not to mention its LITERALLY on every streaming service too.

I think 7empst is my fav too, and as a drummer I love Chocolate Chip

 

You guys will love this ...

so, presale was sold not at least a week before the release date. now its vaporware. unless you want to drop upwards of $150 on it from a scalper online. as for streaming services, i prefer to get something tangible for my money, thus the comment about a ACTUAL copy. i'm old, what can i say?

 

From what I've heard so far, its rambling music and boring. Last album was the same way. They seem to have lost their way.

 

Tool has 5 good songs and no great albums. But those 5 songs are good imo.
