New Tool
I know there's a pretty large contingent of Tool fans here so I figured I'd share in case people were still in the dark. After a longer wait than the Winds of Winter, the new album will drop 8/30. They've been playing a couple new songs live, Invincible and Descending. Bootlegs are below. The sound quality is pretty decent for audience recordings, but you do have to deal with a considerable amount of stupid people chatter in Descending.

The ****ing wait better be worth it, man.

Invincible is wicked.
Sounds more like A Perfect Circle though. Which ain't a bad thing. |

While the fever pitch may not be quite as high this time around, I feel it’s still there. I mean, the reddit sub can barely contain itself. I think expecting greatness from a group of 50 somethings is going to prove foolish though. That being said, I really like Invincible. Lyrically it seems to reference that exact theme; the once great warrior struggling to find relevance as he grows older. |

Maynard is said to be an asshole but any guy that names his grape field Merkin Vineyards is ok with me.

I don’t really know that I consider Maynard to be a musician though. Singer? Yeah. Songwriter? Yeah. Is he a musician though? Sure he’s been known to hop on a second guitar on stage, but I’ve never really been certain anything was even coming from it. |

IMO: Maynard has made a living on writing, performing, producing and mixing music. He is considered to be one of the best of all time at his instrument (voice+effects/tone). How is he not a musician? I mean, you could say he's not a drummer... or not a guitarist... but I think he fits the criteria of Musician. |
It’s in no way meant to be disparaging, as I know you’re a singer as well. I’m not implying that the voice is somehow less than an instrument. Hell, in many ways it’s the opposite. I’ve just always considered a musician to be someone who PLAYS music.

I play a bit of piano, guitar, bass, drums, didgeridoo, whatever... but I don't practice enough on ANY of them to be a full timer in a working band. I do however put that amount of effort into vocals, composing, and Mixing. I would consider myself a musician, but I suppose for those that only know me as they see me on stage, I'd just be a singer. (but that's a little odd to me) |
So some of you might know, TOOL finally released on Digital last week, and then this -

Thought the title track was great, listened 4 times today already, as with most tool songs, you hear more the more you listen to it.
The special edition physical looks interesting: Fear Inoculum is the long awaited new album from TOOL, and the band's first new album in 13 years. The album will be available digitally, and in a special Limited Edition physical package that includes a CD in a tri-fold Soft Pack Video Brochure featuring a 4" HD rechargeable screen with exclusive video footage, a USB charging cable, a 2 watt speaker and a 36 page insert book and MP3 download card |

Invincible is still my favorite. Can't wait to hear that song digitally recorded.

Hopefully the rest of the album has some tracks i can rock out too. I want more tracks that sound like Jambi etc. |
Sounds like a b-side track from Lateralus.

Almost 30 years since Opiate. Time flies.

For what it’s worth, Jambi is a far better song than The Pot. The Pot is just bad. Cheesy lyrics and boring guitar work. Opinions man, we all got ‘em.
|
This song is already a masterpiece imo. Its pretty ****ing awesome when you can listen to a song 20 times the day its released then cant remember what it sounds like the next day at work. I love the complexity of this band.

Subjective, of course, but 10,000 Days is a phenomenal musical accomplishment. If Lateralus didn't exist, people wouldn't take 10k so lightly. Lateralus was just so revolutionary during its time and place.
Undertow can't hold a candle to 10,000 Days. |
Quote:
Don’t get me wrong, LK/RS is amazing. Vicarious is incredibly tight musically, but with some silly lyrics. WfM/10k Days is incredibly emotional, but is just decent on the whole. The rest is just meh, and that’s the only album I can say that about. |
Quote:
Right in Two Rosetta Stoned Jambii Those are some of the best songs they've ever made. If there were a greatest hits album, one of those is on there. Hell, maybe even Vicarious. |

FWIW, I find myself agreeing with Third Eye on this topic. 10K Days has nothing on my 'go-to' list re:Tool. It's enjoyable, but nothing on there breaks any ground.
Sad to know this is likely the last studio album from them. |
10000 Days wasn't Lateralus or Aenima but it was good. It's not that Tool needs to show an evolution in my mind, the impressive thing is that they haven't changed much since Aenima, and that's great. So many bands from my childhood had amazing first and second albums, then their third albums became only half good, then everything after that was the same or worse. Tool has been great for decades, all while playing around drop D tuning, and they sound the same, but different at the same time. They don't stretch out and try tons of different things, they're just amazing musician's that compliment each other to near perfection between their riffs and rhythms.
Gimme 46 and 2 because it was the first song I learned on electric bass and is my favorite Tool song, give me Ticks and Leeches because of it's fast pace Danny Carey is going to melt your face off drum work, and then give me Vicarious and Jambi on 10000 days to get a concert started off the right way. I don't view any of their songs to be bad per say, I think they all hold their place in the badass history that is Tool. I didn't like Fear Inoculum at first, but as I've listened to it over and over again I love it, same with Descending. I'm stoked to hear this album with an amazing set of headphones in my office while I'm working on shit or playing video games, and the fact that it's all on Apple music now, holy shit perfect storm of awesome. |

Whoever said these album preferences are somewhat age-dependent was correct. I can tell how much you geezers like Undertow & Aenima compared to Lateralus and 10,000 Days lol
EDIT: And that's okay. To each their own. |
LoL
I suppose I’m a geezer, and I like Lateralus the best. EDIT: You’re going to be young for-ever! Wheeee! |
Im 40, listened to Undertow throughout most of my teenage/formative years and while awesome its still probably my least favorite.
|
I guess I am old. My favorite album is still Opiate.

Just messing with you all about being old :thumb:
Goes to show you how influential this band has been over time! |
In case you don’t follow the Tool sub on Reddit, there is a very real chance this leaks tonight.
|
Leak confirmed.

Also, Fear Inoculum > 10,000 Days. Pneuma is my favorite at the moment.
|
Of all of the previously unheard tracks so far 7empest is my favorite. And I dare anyone to listen to Chocolate Chip Trip and come back and try to tell me Danny Carey isn't the greatest drummer on earth with a straight face.

Back to this one. This may be my favorite song from any album.

I haven't gotten around to listening to the new tool yet.
I never get into new albums. Like Alice in Chains newest album wasn't bad or anything but it just didn't have the same feel to it and neither did Soundgardens. Again, they were decent albums but it just wasn't the same. I've been hesitating on listening to this for that reason. |

Five Stars.

Invincible is probably my favorite song off of this album, followed by Fear Inoculum.
I'm a little disappointed though that of the ten tracks there are four filler non-song tracks. |

Awesome album. 7empest, Fear Inoculum, and Descending are my go-to tracks.

I am not sure why you are so mega butthurt. I know you have a TOOL inspired username, so your probably some TOOL Stan... I get it.. I am not saying anything negative about the album.. its great, Danny and Maynard are the GOATs, and we are blessed as fans that they are together. They rock, they are my favorite band of all time... But.. <iframe width="1280" height="720" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/j95kNwZw8YY" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture" allowfullscreen></iframe> |

I don’t really see how I’m being butthurt about it, maybe that’s just the written word. I think your argument is ridiculous, but I’m certainly not hurt by it. If you came in and said you hated the album, I’d be fine with that. If you came in and said you hated the album because of the font that was used, I’d have a problem with that. |
This album seems to have a lot more of the ambient sounds and less of the chunk metal riffs. I prefer more of the latter. Still, it is a decent album and it is Tool.

‘Who the fuck is Tool?’ Fans freak over ‘unknown’ band dethroning Taylor Swift
