It's no AEnema or Laturalus imo, not sure where it stands beyond that yet. It's definitely Tool but also a bit different than previous albums.

After a 2nd listen I'm going to say 10,000 Days is better as well

I spent 10 minutes last night explaining to a man that he cannot preorder it through us, that we do not do preorders, and that even if he had called weeks ahead he could not have preordered it, as it was not that he called to late but that we do not do preorders at all, for anything

Leaning towards 8/10. Better than 10,000 Days, that's for sure.

I have never heard a worse way to describe tool.

8/10 album I've listened to it a few times now. Nothing will ever dethrone Aenima

Total snoozefest. Every song is like 12 minutes long and has a 5 minute build-up before anything exciting happens. I'm all for setting a mood with a song, but it doesn't have to be every song on the album. I think I genuinely enjoyed like two songs, one was the second to last song I think... I'd have to go back and look to see what the titles are.

It's a 10/10 masterpiece imo. I feel better about this one after the first listen than I did about 10K Days, and it competes with Lateralus as their best work. It's basically my ideal music.

That pop music is more accessible than masturbatory jam session prog rock?

Tool is full of musically gifted musicians but they make really, really boring music. They're somehow less melodically engaging than Dream Theater


I dunno I heard The Astonishing so if you feel it's boring wankfest progrock that's fair but Dream Theater holds the record for boring album

Yeah, Im loving this album, not going to lie. Dont think it will top Lateralus for me though. Im a little disappointed in the lack of bass lines, I think Justin is trying to serve the songs more rather than stand out so much, which still works but as a bass guy I cant help but feel wanting more. Adam really stepped it up on this record though, damn.

10,000 Days really was Justin's shining album

I really feel like this is Adam's album, which is wierd to say for me. I never really was the biggest Adam fan, always felt like he was the weakest member of the band. Dany is a god tier drummer, maynard is an amazing vocalist, and justin has had truly unique bass line hooks, but I've always felt like Adam was more of a supporting roll to everyone else. But god damn, he really brought some amazing things to this album. It feels bizarre to me that Tools possibly best album is thanks to Adam Jones. Theres something about those riffs in this one that just really stands out and takes me places.
