i've a theory that the popularity of aenima is largely down to the fact that most of us listened to it in our formative years, it has that emotional attachment that also decides our musical preferences for a while, on a base level. Bring on the hole poking...in the theory...and, ok, my anus

10,000 days is great. i had something to say about what you had to say in the thread. i used my past experience trying to talk to you as a frame of reference. based on that, you definitely do not understand the difference.

a troll is someone who posts controversial, inflammatory, irrelevant, or off-topic messages in an online community, such as an online discussion forum or chat room, with the primary intent of provoking other users into an emotional response or to generally disrupt normal on-topic discussion.

I you're a trained musician, then you already know what I'm about to say. 10,000 Days is an absolutely astounding piece of work. The musicianship is way, way ahead of the curve. The album is actually more technically complex than Lateralus as a whole, and I believe it's just as emotional. The band wanted to challenge themselves and the listeners (us) by writing more intricate compositions, and they have done that with 10,000 Days. As Maynard said about their music in an interview, there is a lot of light at the end of the tunnel, but you have to fight your way through the muck to get there. That is especially true with the 10,000 Days album. The songs require much more patience and much more of a musician's ear to appreciate than any of the previous albums. It is much more difficult to get through these songs and find that light at the end of the tunnel, but I believe it makes the reward that much greater. Unfortunately, most people are impatient and are incapable of appreciating real musical depth- that's the bottom line when it comes to all the criticism. After 3 years now of literally studying these songs and all of their musical elements, I believe 10,000 Days is the greatest Tool album to date. I believe it blows Opiate and Undertow out of the water, it destroys Aenima, and it just barely tops Lateralus.

I like Aenima obviously more than albums from any other band, but it never struck as much of a chord with me. Lateralus and 10,000 Days, to me, are the 2 greatest musical works of art in the modern era. I think the writing on Lateralus and 10,000 Days is much more sophisticated than that of Aenima.

Wow, yet another person saying the same thing about 10,000 days. One thing that interests me is the fact that practically everyone saying this album is far superior musically to the other albums is a "trained musician" lol mmm hmmm. It just must be the greatest masterpiece of all time. It requires a "musicians ear". I could say something like... You would give someone a piece of shit & say "it doesn't smell bad, just requires a supperior sense of smell". I don't hate the album, i just don't think it's a great album, "trained musician" or not.

Unlike a "piece of shit," music is a very multifaceted art form, and complex music takes sincere studying to understand. Also unlike a "piece of shit," music has intelligent design behind it, and the more intelligent that design is, the harder it is to identify with for the average person. People like yourself don't realize that 10,000 Days was written for musicians. The rhythmic structures, the chord structures, the melody progression and integration...they're all very meticulously patterned by Tool. They are a challenge for the band, and they are very clearly a challenge for the listeners- a challenge to educate themselves on the musical elements, to study them, and to begin to incorporate that intelligence into their own music and art. Some people are up to that challenge, and some are not. My point is that the music on this album is so highly developed that it's difficult to truly appreciate and understand unless you have actually studied music. It's the direction that Tool is evolving. They aren't angry, anti-establishment radicals anymore, and they haven't been since around 1994. Forget about Undertow and Opiate. That Tool is long long gone. It is very obvious to me that they are interested in expressing musical sophistication, complexity, and deeper emotional exploration now...not anger and rebellion. If you can't accept that, then I suggest you find another band.

You're kidding, right? How can you believe Tool is good, and then say that? Do you have any idea what Tool's music really entails, or do you just like them because they're heavy? I'm guessing it's the latter.
EDIT: Or are you saying that because you know he composed incredible music, but you think our MTV-minded society would spit in his face? If this is the case, then I agree with you completely, and I'm sorry for being harsh.

I believe they were exploring "deeper emotional exploration" on Lateralus than they do on 10'000 days & i happen to love Lateralus. To basically say someone doesn't understand the album because you don't believe they understand music is obnoxious and wholly untrue. I don't think 10,000 days is as "challenging" as you make it out to be. I'm not going to say i'm a master composer like you all seem to be, but i do play electric guitar & have a fair idea how unchallenging this music actually is. ANyway i'll quit bashing the album now.

"musicians" and "average people".
Good one.
Oh and last time i read Keenan said something about going for the more earlier and straightforward touch. I remember it was in Revolver but i cant quite remember. Though one should not trust these interviews.
