Its really good!

After an initial listen I think 7empest is my favourite and then Pneuma is probably the weakest track for me. Those will probably be reversed in a few days if old Tool albums are anything to go by though.

I seriously can't rank them at this point, but Pneuma, 7empest, and Descending are probably my top three.

I think this might be their finest album though...and Lateralus is my favorite album of all time.

Man 7empest is superb

And that's coming from only a mild Tool/APC fan who happens to think Schism is the best heavy metal song ever recorded

This is a reasonable take, I definitely have it above undertow (or Opiate) and right now I'd say it's above 10,000 days. Not sure I could ever say better than lateralus or aenima but I'd need as much history with it as I have with them to be able to compare them fairly since they're so personal to me

Yeah thats true. Its hard to compete with albums you dive into when youre coming of age and all that. Im hesitant to even rank the album at all because it feels wrong. Its a great album from an all time great band.

I guess what goes through my head is that track 1 is their weakest track 1 so far. It feels annoying to even type that but whatever Im OGT so I can say that~

So a lot of the intro-to-a-song stuff is dumb. They always do it, and.... yeah.

This album is fucking incredible though, especially if you live in a state where medicinal weed is legal. Got a prescription filled just in time for this album, thankfully.

One of the few things NJ has right.

all good albums. I just don't have history with 10,000 Days and Opiate is an EP. Fear has wined and dined me enough already to secure its spot but there's no chance for top 3, I think.

haven't seen'em live in 20 years so November will be a trip.

I'm fine with Tool basically refining and perfecting the same sound since Lateralus. And I greatly enjoy "spiritual Tool" over "angry Tool," so Aenima being like half and half puts it in the middle for me and I've never really cared much for Undertow.

Oh maybe this was obvious to bigger fans of the band, but I realized that 7empest is probably meant to be a sister song to "Flood" from Undertow. Listen to 0:00-1:30 of 7empest and then listen to 6:45-7:00 of Flood. Basically the main riff of both songs, and they're super similar, with a slight flourish added in 7empest to create a weirder time signature. And of course, tempests and floods are both storms.

Wouldn't be surprised if in concert they plan to sometimes play Flood and then lead straight into 7empest somehow.

As a newer Tool fan that only knows a handful of their songs, I agree that 7empest is def the best track of the new album.
