and i like octahedron. i think it's their most consistent album since deloused, and a welcome follow-up to bedlam, half of which i never listen to.

I feel like he's coming out of his shell more and more as time progresses... building momentum, if you will. Personal opinion, of course

I guess that'd be like saying, this guitarist sounds like that guitarist because they both use LPs with marshall amp/cabs and play with a lot of unison bends. They might both have a similar playing style, yet their composition could be wholly different.
Just to clarify my previous point...what I meant to say was not that Tool sounds like Aphex Twin during the synth on Intension, simply that the synth made me think of them...and in my preference I would hope Tool doesn't steer in that direction with their music. Perhaps something more ambient, jungle like maybe.

and I gotta be honest, i think justin has turned tool into more of a prog rock sound than they were before. while thats OK, its not great. As I've said before Evil fucking shit needs to come back. They used to have dark music and since justin has been in the band its taken a rather stale turn. boot justin and get a crazy hot chick that drives the rest of the band insane so we can get at least one more good album before they retire.

Agreed, Jakesstuff - Recently I realized, how influential Justin is on the others he plays with. He joined the band "Intronaut" on the title track from their album "Valley of Smoke", and see what happened: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KFYGL5qOt70
It's kinda lengthy piece, but you can jump straight to 3:20 and.. seems familiar :)
Great dual bass performance isn't it?

I think that's completely insane, and yet... a compelling argument.

In my opinion, yes. I could really hear the guitar layering better. The pitch shifter that Adam uses jumped out a bit more.

The drums sound (the cymbals speciffically) sound more alive.

I dunno. I am probably being too picky. I heard details that I have never heard before though and that is my favorite album of all time...

So yeah. I thought it sounded better.

I also have Undertow on vinyl and it sounds way better in my opinion as well.

My step-dad's got a very nice vinyl setup. I wonder how much it would cost to get Lateralus nowadays. I'm dying to find Panopticon but I think it's out of print.

Which is utterly ridiculous, especially for a 10-year-old album (yeah I know the vinyl edition is newer).

For comparison: I got Liars' new album the day it came out. Not only was it less than half as much, but it has equally-cool packaging AND two CDs to go along with the two LPs. $40 for two LPs is a complete ripoff.

Re: New Tool Album

Which is utterly ridiculous, especially for a 10-year-old album (yeah I know the vinyl edition is newer).

For comparison: I got Liars' new album the day it came out. Not only was it less than half as much, but it has equally-cool packaging AND two CDs to go along with the two LPs. $40 for two LPs is a complete ripoff.

Liars isn't exactly a Grade A name in the music industry though.

I joke about it, but I still get this feeling Tool will throw down a new album without much hype at all. That's probably not going to happen, but I guess it's wishful thinking that one day I'll find a brand spankin' new Tool album floating down the street heading for the gutter, and I'll save it from disappearing forever and Tool will respond with some sort of terrible Britney Spears euphemism.

I dont think bands need to promote albums months before release nowadays. I really don't know if promotion is determined by the band or record label, but I would think in today's information age, the album would still sell well with 1 or 2 weeks notice. I think that would be pretty epic on their part.

I don't think Maynard and APC are stalling Tool's new album. It's pretty much understood that the other 3 band members write the music and then Maynard strolls in towards the end and writes the lyrics, right? I'm pretty sure the band is still very much so in the process of writing the music. Also, I know I heard/read an interview with Maynard once where he talked about being on tour with APC and how he was sent the music of what the Tool boys were working on for him to ponder over.

Fuck, is there a lesser productive band then Tool? It's a wonder that I keep up with them at all. I don't get the general arguments from Tool fans along the lines of "Let them take their time, it's gonna be totally worth it!!!" and "if they need to take as long as they take to write the next masterpiece, im cool with that". Nah....part of being a great band requires putting out music on a regular basis. Look at Devin Townsend...with the 2 albums due in June he will have had put out 6 albums since Tool released 10,000 days. Even Radiohead has released 3 albums post-2001, Tool has 1. And 10K days wasnt THAT great either...

part, not all of it.

Obviously putting shit out consistently doesn't make one great.

Meh you're probably right, I'm just frustrated, want a new Tool album and it's been too long.

for example, the band bark psychosis more or less (depending on whose account you listen to) pioneered the genre of post-rock.. or at least, they were among the first bands to be given the label by the music press.. they were and are hugely influential in the post-rock sound.. their first album came out in 1994, their second in 2004.

it takes as long as it takes. and lol @ using devin townsend as an example of a "good" prolific artist.
