You know what it is: Lateralus is slow. It has slow, dragging parts (the Patient, Reflection and more parts). 10,000 Days has a much faster pace.
10,000 Days pwns Lateralus.
I agree with the slow feeling... it just doesn't have a whole lot to interest you on repeated listens. But definitely do not lump reflection in with the slow songs because that one truly is a masterpiece. It's my favorite Tool song by far and it surpasses the lifespan of all their music imo.

What the fuck is wrong with the lot of you? Usually when someone comes in spouting dumb bullshit like this you point out their stupidity pretty quick. Are you all half-retarded as well, and don't even realize how stupid it is to say "FIRE IS ALIVE HURR HURR"?
I didn't know stating an opinion related to the thread was whining, but whatever. The noise, interludes, what the fuck ever you want to call them are lazy on the bands part and a waste of time and space IMO.
Needless to say, i've been trolling these pages for a while now and know that kids like you, inner eulogy, tool_is_sick, etc. are the resident "experts" on all things tool, but your drivel hardly impresses me. I'm here because i love tool's music, and their fans are widely the coolest bunch i know.
But even a hot chick needs an asshole.
While I agree 10k Days did/does seem somewhat lackluster compared to Undertow-Lateralus, I still am quite fond of some of the tracks by themselves but when considering the album as a whole I felt a little jipped.
As far as kids, I'm 30yrs old....my nutsac dropped over a decade ago buddy.

And don't get me wrong, i enjoy you and inner's posts quite a bit, its fun when you team up on pretentious assholes who wax philosophical on every fucking line of every fucking song. Shut the fuck up and enjoy the fucking music, mirite? But really, i don't come in here with any real deep thoughts or analyses of tool's catalog, so no debate on that.
Rolo seems like an odd little douche, tho.
There's gotta be a fine line between understanding the philosophical and mystical side to their music and taking it for the face value enjoyment. Some people take their new age bullshit WAYYYY too seriously. I find it all interesting how Tool does throw that shit in their but you gotta keep your mystical and philosophical beliefs and theories grounded in "reality".
Enjoy the music for what it is.
Not EVERYthing in Tool's world consists of the chakra system, wizards and unicorns.

Um, of course you are. You think fire is a living thing.
I never "avoided" your question. I answered like a page ago:
I answered your dumb "what is alive" statement, and you tried to change the question when you realized that your attempt to present me with an unanswerable question had failed entirely.
Then you started talking about fire being alive, which is about the point when you solidified your position as the reigning king of idiots.
How about you open a textbook, or actually pay attention in science class.

Ah...**starts to get up, lifts butt up about 2 inches, then sits back down, motions hand with "fuck it" undertone**

Inner, you should have read this other thread. Arachia or whatever is the new IAMTHEMOM, plus he's got someone following him around offering to suck his cock at any given opportunity.

Hmm, I could've sworn Arachia or whatever the name is has been around for a long time

YOU HAVE TO BE A TROLL. NOBODY IS THIS FUCKING STUPID.
Fire is a byproduct of a CHEMICAL REACTION. The reaction SPREAD, it DID NOT REPRODUCE because a reaction is neither LIVING nor NONLIVING. Nor does a chemical reaction metabolize, BECAUSE METABOLISM IS A FUNCTION OF LIVING THINGS.
YOU ARE A FUCKING MORON AND I HOPE SOMEONE CASTRATES YOU SO THAT YOU DON'T CONTAMINATE THE GENE POOL WITH YOUR SEED.
Welcome to my ignore list, fuck the rest of your post because it's beyond the scope of the discussion. And besides, I'd really rather talk to RiseToYourHalo about such topics, because he actually has a clue what he's talking about.

i was hoping someone picked up on that... thanks man...
Rolo knows what I'm talking about. Besides I wasn't even trying to incinuate in the slightest that I had written it. It just made sense to add with all the verbal bitchslaps going around.

me too... but when i hear a new song by them on the radio it makes me cringe... they were so good and now they blow...
Although on one of their last ones...the same one that has Twisted Transister on it, the song Throw Me Away os pretty good. Actually, it's much better in an accoustic version I saw on Tv once.

i'm listening to it now... i'll keep you posted...
Actually, now that I've just listened to it again (the unplugged version) I think I might like the album version a bit better. *shrug* Although it is cool unplugged in it's own right
__________________ "WITHOUT A LITTLE EVIL, GOOD WOULD NEVER EXIST"
it was okay... freak on a leash with amy lee was bad ass though...
That might've been the one I was thinking I liked on Unplugged. I remember seeing one that was really good, it was a long time ago though. I'm listening to them right now myself...gives me something to listen to while I'm working

Not bad for an odd little douche, right Poolboy? :P
