Niaboc,
that is a very good way to look at this release, and I'm glad you shared it. =)
I hope they include a live recording so you can just listen to it if you choose instead of having to watch the darned thing 0_o.
You see, I have a very pessimistic outlook on just about everything that happens in the music business these days.
Besides I know that "hooker with a penis" is all about tool and selling out. As a matter of fact, I believe that song is trying to tell us that they really ALREADY sold out. BUT, not to the degree that some bands have coughkorncough, coughlimpbizkitcough, coughcreedcough, coughrageagainstthemachinecough.
I have my own philosophy on TOOL's actions. I believe that TOOL is trying to better their visual look more so than anything else. From what I've experienced over the past 3 shows that I've seen them preform, they have very dramaticaly improved the visual experience while staying true to what they do best.
I was a little rash in my last post, but I do have my own opinion as everybody should.
Thanks,
Bryan
