Tool - 10,000 Days

Post by **Gaiseric** » Mon Apr 24, 2006 5:27 am

The new Tool album is excellent. I suggest everyone picks it up on May 2nd.

I voted Tool sucks. But actually I never got into Tool really. I guess this is a chance for me to try them out.

Tool rocks... Buz listen to Aenima first I like it the best.

I love it. The first song is such a great opening to the album.

I think Lateralus is better than aenima. I can't choose my favorite between Lateralus and 10, 000 days though.

I like the new album, however I don't think it was their best. Aenima was their best I think, and honestly Lateralus wasn't that bad.

...

This is the most worthless post I've ever written.

I googled Tool (I never heard of them b4), and they seem like an Rock band? People still listen Rock music?
I only listen to Trance though, but that's gonna change too... after a while.

Where are you from? Tool has been around since the early 90s. They have five and a half albums, four of which are amazing. I would classify their music as experimental metal, I guess. They're my favorite band of all-time.

Trance? Isn't that like what you listen to when your thizzing.

Had to add my 2cents, I've listened to Tool since they first appeared on the scene.

I enjoy their lyrics, but more importantly their attention to math and it's influence on music. You won't find a more sophisticated musical composition anywhere else, save classical music and rarely Electronica (Goa, Trance, EBM... etc).

I would have to classify them as either Alternative Metal or Progressive Rock. THeir music is mostly inspired by Led Zepplin, Pink Floyd, Yes, Rush, and King Krimson to name a few.

They are the contemporaries of Rage against the Machine, of whom the members of Tool met each other through. Other contemporaries are Jane's Addiction and Faith no More.

So, I'm a bit biased because I grew up with them and their influences (Blue Sky by Pink Floyd as an example). I truly marvel at their technical accomplishments and I can't help but crank 'em up while at work.

psi hit it on the head with smart composition. Great band but definitely not every one's cup of tea. I will hear the album when it comes out on May 2nd or what ever.

Anyone anxious for the new Bruce Springsteen? Though its just covers from what I've heard.

Um, that's nice, but you might actually want to listen to them for a while and form your own opinion.

Serioulsy, fuck off with that shit. On a similar note, why the fuck do people always feel the need to post in threads just to talk shit about the topic. If you don't like something, or aren't a fan, then we really don't care. These threads are made for interesting discussion and the giving of props. I mean, if you have a good reason to degrade something, then that's different, otherwise keep your pie hole shut.

I asked a question in my post and I didn't degrade anything. I only wanted to know what genre it was so perhaps I would give it a try... but I won't.
btw what is it you guys have against Trance? I bet most of you haven't even tried listening to it. But now I'm really getting off topic.

I dont think he was talking to you, but I could be wrong

Anyway pick up some Tool, the song Aenima on the Album Aenima is the song that made me pick it up... SO LISTEN TO IT NOW

Post by **Starnum** » Wed Apr 26, 2006 11:36 am

No, I wasn't talking to him. As I said, it was on a similar note. The only thing that was directed towards Devil_Dante was the bit about going else where with the trance talk. Actually, I have listened to trance. Unlike some people, I don't make judgements on things without experiencing them properly first. The reason I don't like trance is because it sounds like no talent 8-bit video game music that just keeps repeating itself.

As for Tool, anyone who likes rock or metal should give them a try, and then decide how they feel. To do otherwise based solely on the words of others is foolish. You'd only be cheating yourself. Oh, and to answer Devil's question, I'd call Tool industrial metal, but that may just be me.

You'll hear it once I'm home

And a note on trance, since I feel I need to defend it. "Trance" is a horribly loose name for a genre that covers many, many different kinds of electronica. It's almost like saying "I listen to techno". Usually when someone says trance like this, they mean US poppy bullshit trance. If any of you are curious, PM me and I'll give you the names of a couple of artists that'll knock your socks off.

Post by **Ayanami** » Wed Apr 26, 2006 4:07 pm

Just post em here. I am curious to what trance artists you speak of.

I'm going to start a thread to this, so we don't totally derail the Tool discussion.

Thanks for that!

If I was on the ball (read not at work) I would have taken the time to split the posts out of here, oh well...

So yeah, Tool rocks my socks.
