Like all of us the members of Tool have holes in there arses,
and its my subjective opinion this 10,000days album
or 'leak' fell right out of them.

I am sorry but I cant force myself to like just whatever
Tool decides to artistically produce, no disrespect to
them. I know some of you feel the same, and some
don't of course.

If you love this new material, great, move on, these
words have no bearing on your emotional state.

I love Tool because in the past what they produced
and what they stood for was the exceptional, artistically
and philosophically.

In my view this new material, if it is the legit album,
is mediocre from my perspective. To lift it to the level
of exceptional for the sake of the members of Tool, and
to save face amongst other fans, undermines my own
personal connection with past material, degrades
the value of these connections and the music I've come
to love.

Lets hypothetically say Tool did serve us unquestionably
shit on a stick. How would we all be behaving? I tend to
think exactly how we are all right now in these forums.
Like a bunch of 'talking monkeys' throwing fist to ground.
Bananas good! Bananas bad! Bananas good! Bananas bad!

Perhaps this is the true indicator of meritocracy, the war
cry of supremacy.

This to me, is what 10,000 days will become about. Tragedy,
because many of us will be torn between instinct and higher
thought. Tool in the past captured both facilities in me, I didn't
have to think about loving them, I instinctualy did, and when I
thought deeply about it, I did as well. I shouldnt have to train
myself out of dissonance thru reiteration.

My point, before raising our fist to chant just how much we
Love or Hate, think and question the absoluteness of it.

My mediocre thoughts, flame on wingnuts.
