According to everyone's favorite store Walmart they did not Edit the CD and for those who know Walmart that means that there will not be any explicit lyrics on the album. This may change since they hardly have any info about the album up yet but I thought I would throw that out to you guys. I also realize this may be a waste of thread but yea well move it to rumors if necessary.

Explicit lyrics are a pre-requisite for any great album, sorry. =\

Yea, it's a waste of thread =D

Oh, and f*ck Walmart.

[HolyReality]

they really fuckin' are....explicit lyrics are great

[Octopod]

I think they're fine if the moment calls for it, but not necessary.

Why are you apologizing to me? I'm not the one who made the album.

[magnolia]

There is a limit you have to reach before your lyrics are considered "explicit". Saying fuck and shit every here and there doesn't warrant a warning. When has Tool ever gone overboard with explicit lyrics?

Wait, you're not??

Ænema lol, pretty sure he says "fuck or fucking" about 11 times or so

lol, I love it! As long as you don't say f*ck too many times, you're good to go. LOL, gotta love this country.

I mean, what's the guildeline? 20+ f*cks gets you a little sticker?

[Raul78]

I honestly don't care either way.

[lachrymoIogy]

Explicit lyrics are a pre-requisite for any great album, sorry. =\ so i guess any of pink floyds albums without vulgarity aren't great, led zeppelin, eric clapton, jimi hendrix?... i meen.. there's more obviously. but im just sticking with GREAT bands with great albums without vulgarity. i meen.... fuck.

Sorry. My sarcasm is subtle tonight.

[SpiralOutKeepGoing]

Only in my mind.

[Semp]

I'd imagine that Walmart looks over the lyrics to the songs (typically as presented in the liner notes) and that since Tool have this massive hard-on about no leaks, they'll be waiting as long as possible before releasing the lyrics to be examined.

[TenSpeed]

It takes one "fuck" on a major label to get a PA label, and an indie label will never give a CD a PA label.

Are you sure about this? I haven't been to walmart in ages, so I don't know what their in-store setup is like anymore... I know it used to be so bad they wouldn't let me buy the movie Falling Down when I was 16... but I do know that their online music store includes 30 second samples that do contain bad words:

http://www.walmart.com/catalog/product.do?product_id=1597028
If you listen to the 30 second for "Too Drunk to Fuck" you hear the horror of the word Fuck.

I distinctly remember needing my ID to purchase a can of spray paint at Walmart. They won't sell you glue unless you're 18, either. (This isn't a joke --- elmer's white glue discluded)

[ALIvingGrudge]

i actually think that songs without explicit lyrics are better.

its alot harder to get fustrating points through lyrics without cussing all over the place so it shows great writing skills if you can show angst without cursing.

No Explicit Lyrics...
Not "Toolish"
I am So Dissapointed...
With a Record...
I have not
Even heard yet
IF THATS POSSIBLE.



It is not

lol, I love it! As long as you don't say f*ck too many times, you're good to go. LOL, gotta love this country.

It's exactly like this with film too... there is an actual "fuck" limit that seperates PG-13 from R ratings.

[Descencia]

Yeah apparently fuck can only be said once in a PG-13 rated movie. But in Transporter 2 it's said twice.

[lachrymoIogy]

wait a minute. since when (as of late atleast) can you buy a tool album at walmart?

[a788]

you can buy pretty much anything at walmart...

[TenSpeed]

you can buy pretty much anything at walmart...
Yeah, they had Meshuggah and Between the Buried and Me, as well as Lateralus there last time I was there.

[lachrymoIogy]

wow... i guess it has been that long since i sold my soul to walmart (god BTBAM is so fucking badass. just saw them in houston at the end of march with every time I die. fucking siiiiiiick)

[SpiralOutKeepGoing]

Walmart also supposedly has the Undertow edited version too. But I have yet to see it.

[tooldude]

who buys cds at wal mart. wal mart=evil

[etaipo]

I was kind of hoping for more of the angry similiarities to come out on the new album see UNDERTOW for reference, but the selections on lateralus are fairly mean, but the language is kept clean so no matter what as long as maynard is angry he will channel the anger through metaphorical lyrics!

[weak&weary]

Walmart sells a friggin host of unedited cd's. I mean, they carry all of Pearl Jam's records, and they have cussing on all of'em. I guess a lot of records with vulgarity just slip through the cracks... plus, Walmart's not exactly the best source for this info. For example, they carry an edited version of Lateralus, which, if you'll remember, included no vulgarity at all.

[insaner]

Explicit lyrics are a pre-requisite for any great album, sorry. =\


further proof that lateralus sucked.

[weak&weary]

further proof that lateralus sucked.
Yeah. Which must mean eMOTIVE was album of the year.

[LoKi]

oh all you fuckwits who complain about no swear words...

grow the fuck up.

[The/Perfect/Tool]

Walmart does like an all or nothing, if the album isn't PA, becuase the label didn't make it PA, then Walmart won't touch the editing, even if it is full of cuss words, but once the label sticks it with a PA, it will edit the word "ass. It even took the word "Rape" out of a Cold album I bought, and Walmart doesn't mess around they completely erase any hint of what the word was.

I really couldn't care less if it's PA or not, this thread wasn't dumb at all though...It was worth while to read...Thanx whoever started it.

[NateDaTater]

oh all you fuckwits who complain about no swear words...

grow the fuck up.

It's sarcasm. </sarcasm>

[Saltank]

Explicit Lyrics mean nothing.

[Carbonatedgravy]

I have trouble putting any value in anything Wal-Mart ever says, ever. Maybe the cd will have explicit lyrics and maybe it won't. But I won't base a guess on something typed up by an individual directly or indirectly employed by Wal-Mart.

[Idiotica]

only teenagers are impressed by explicit lyrics

[Chris_Brightwell]

Lateralus didn't have the "Explicit Lyrics" tag, either.

Limp Bizkit Lyrics - If I say Fuck two more times, that's 46 Fucks in this Fucked up rhyme


If anyone says that having a record with explicit lyrics makes a good album, let me remind you of that pure abomination that is Fred Durst.

[waffel]

how stupid can you fucks be

they dont have the album lryics, or the album, or have ever heard it

how the fuck does walmart know if its explicit?

[Inner_Eulogy]

(Explicit Post)

Oh, and f*ck Walmart.

I second that notion

[Inner_Eulogy]

*point that fucking finger up your ass* is fine poetry.

Bullsh*t, that's more like the motherf*cking holy grail of poetry right there

[toolloot]

Lateralus shouldn't have been explicit.

[Inner_Eulogy]

You are correct, well at least when it was out. Wal-Mart was the main company that had the edited version and the artwork was the one with the big barcode over the front cover instead of the rib cage artwork.

[ripewithdecay]

Yeah, Wal-Mart is totally fucking backwards when it comes to music editing. To this day, they sell Green Day's Dookie uncensored.

[Chris_Brightwell]

[5th Eye]

Wow; the Walmart version of the CD is an entire inch thick and weighs a whole pound! Fuck, I'm getting my copy there!

[ATARI]

HEY

The band and the record label choose themselves if they feel that the sticker gets put on. There is no guideline. The band and the record label douche it out between themselves. If neither of them feel that it needs to have a sticker, despite having a few uses of profanity, it doesn't get stickered.

[ATARI]

actually I don't know. I just shitted that out of my rear

[Happyfunball]

My last CD buying experience at Wal-Mart was a horrible Filter disc that was edited for content. The fact that it didn't actually indicate anywhere on the disc's packaging that it was edited pissed me off to no end. It wasn't even a good disc to begin with. "Where Do We Go From Here" is basically the only redeeming song on the whole thing.

[The/Perfect/Tool]

Yeah, we can tell.

It's what you get for buying a Filter cd, I bought one once, and then my Mom died when I got home, but I realize that it was only fair.

[ATARI]

Yeah, we can tell.

your brain was pooped out someone's ass

[The/Perfect/Tool]

Thats the one I bought....and it is horrible.

[ATARI]

you think i'm giving him GOOD advice?

[The/Perfect/Tool]

Yeah, it was.

[The/Perfect/Tool]

Oh, well in that case pick up Fear Factory's new album too.

[ATARI]

along with St. Anger

[Happyfunball]

I like 'Title of Record'. Can't listen to it every day, but I can still listen to it and sometimes even enjoy it.

[Happyfunball]

Your mom died because you touch yourself at night.

[Alistair_Carson]

I never got into Fear Factory at all. I remember going to Best Buy and buying two cds by them thinking they were gonna be good (because of the Roadrunner Record label). I was disappointed.




And then I remembered. I didn't even like Roadrunner Records.

[Metalgod666]

Lateralus didn't have explicit lyrics and it was a great album

[caiman]

Question: Why is the word "fuckin'" seemingly censored in the song Ticks and Leeches? It's something I've always wondered. It's the only cuss word on the entire album, and it sounds like a radio edit. The line "Taken all you can, taken all you can fuckin' take" sounds more like "Taken all you can, taken all you can WIERCKIN take."

Any ideas about this?

To me it sounded like that line was "taken all you can, taken all I can, we can take..." So, I don't think it's censored.

Hmm, the lyrics page at this site says differently. According to that, the first time he says "we can take," and the second time he says "fuckin take". That page has always seemed accurate to me, but maybe not this time.

And yeah, listening to it again, both times DO sound like "we can take." Why would the lyrics page say "fuckin"?

toolband.com lyrics page says " Taken all I can taken all I can, we can take. Taken all you can taken you can, we can take."

I always thought he said "fucking suck" as the opening lyrics, and also "fucking take" in the line quoted above. Doesn't matter to me either way, though.

Hmm, someone has found the key!

[ladder_alice_11]

Yeah apparently fuck can only be said once in a PG-13 rated movie. But in Transporter 2 it's said twice.


Yet in Titanic (worst... movie... ever...) and As Good As it Gets it is said 3 times. I've tried to figure out ratings systems and whatnot. Nothing really makes sense and Ive heard many different stories that defend either side. (like anything else)

I had heard a while back from a friend in the record industry that an album will get a sticker from both the band and the label's mutual agreement on the matter. Coheed and Cambria's newest release as well as Story of the Year's Page Avenue say "fuck" once and NOT AT ALL.. respectively.

Yet, if you purchase Heavy as a Really Heavy Thing by Strapping Young Lad, you will hear that word around 35 times in the first song! And that's just the start of that album..

SO... like i said.. who knows really? who really even cares? will it detract from you buying the new Tool album if it has a sticker or not?

[Hannibal]

I'm sure context has a lot to do with it too. derogatory remarks/racial/sexist/etc will hurt a flicks rating.


vulgarity in music is often used for shock value, nothing more. Look at Korn, listen to one of their records and read the lyrics, there are several times a better word could have been used then "fuck." Especially on their latest records.

[praefector]

When has Tool ever gone overboard with explicit lyrics?

aenema
hooker with a penis
prison sex (to a degree)

refer to maynard's quote about a song being like a picture (you dont always look the same in every picture of you but its still you)

it applies here

[Scratch]

how the fuck does walmart know if its explicit?


THE WALMART KNOWS ALL

[praefector]

how stupid can you fucks be

they dont have the album lryics, or the album, or have ever heard it

how the fuck does walmart know if its explicit?

if im not mistaken the record label is responsible for issuing the "parental warning" labels...in serious cases, mandating that it be printed on the album cover

could be wrong though

[Virginity Trey]

I'll devote my first post on here to saying that if you shop at Wallmart you are evil. They suck Satan's cock.

If that's true then why wouldn't they sell PA records? Seems contradictory to me.
