Quickly becomnig my favorite song on the album

Second time poster, long time Tool fan. Going on seven years now.

I was hesitant to listen to Wings For Marie/10,000 Days for awhile, mainly sticking to tracks like Jambi, The Pot, and Right in Two.
But now that I've listened to the song a few more times, I find there's something really special about it. It's very therapeutic.
The way the track creeps up on you and releases is amazing.

The whole album is brilliant; it's different. It's not predictable. And I must say I'm really impressed with everyone else's feedback concerning themes of individual songs and the album as a whole.

[DON IOTAE]

Yeah, it's a good one. My favourite still, by far, is The Pot. But marie is a great song. It does build up nicely, and the words are really a nice complement to the angry expressions of MJK in Judith...

Wings for Marie and 10,000 Days are my favorite tracks on the cd, hands down.

At the moment i consider the Wings pt1-pt2 combo as my favourite song on the album (it has got a really special atmosphere. Genius work.). But it will probably change, since the album is still quite unknown to me. i only have it for 6 days now. And a Tool-album takes a lot more time to understand and appreciate. So now my favourite is the wings for marie. But right now for example Jambi is cathing up fast...:-)

[Loveboat Captain]

Jambi is probably my favourite now. It was my least favourite on the first few listens, but now its amazing.

I'm listening to wings now. It really is unpredictable.

[Phineas Loudbottom]

It's the first song that caught my attention as having some musical sublimity, something which has since changed to include other parts of the album. I think it should have been 10,000 Days' opening track. It certainly would have set a contemplative mood.

First post. Toolshed's been around for ages and I didn't realize there was a forum...D'oh! :P

"Wings For Marie" seems more and more superfluous the more I hear it. One of the weakest tracks onthe record, I think. Take it, and "The Pot," out and the album's better already. Replace them with something else and it'll be a solid record.

weakest? Wings, though the vocals are soft, is definitely a strong track. Its pt one of a memorial to his mother, & its my belief that its an extremely courageous thing to make such a dedication.
that, and I rather like The Pot.

I wouldn't want a single song on this album replaced.

i couldn't agree with you more Cheesegreater

[Hodge]

although the 6 minutes and 13 seconds taken up by Lipan/Viginti could have been put to better use

[base metal]

Wings for Marie certainly deserves praise. One of my favorites on the album without a doubt.
