I'm far from pissed about it. I just don't think it's actually the name, and if it is then it's just kind of a lame name.

i dont think its the greatest name either....and after reading your post about past names and flowing into this name, i must say i agree.

10000 days lacks meaning when u think of it in simple terms, but Tool always seems to make the listener hear a very direct simple meaning, and that usually hides the true deeper meaning.....which is very intense

who knows if this is the real name, you cant believe any rumors about this band because they definatly like to mess with our minds :)

In 10,000 days we will all be laughing about this.

I can hear the laughter now. Laugh little children! Laugh little unicorn! Laugh!!

Those who have listened are saying to just wait and it will all make sense. I myself am starting to believe that the title is "10,000 Days", but it will take a lot more for me to believe "Rosetta Stoned".

Its not wrong to have your own opinion, but how can you judge an album title before you hear the album, and how can you judge tool for going a slightly differant path with thier next album title.

does it really matter what the album title is, so long as the music contained in the work itself is great. i mean, if pink floyd called "wish you were here" or "dark side" by any other name would it have made those albums any less significant. the same can be said with AEnima. do you feel like it's a waste of time pissing about titles. especially when all accounts that are in the numerous threads say nothing except what a agressive in your face fantastic album this is.

I find it hilarious that a few months ago on here. Most of the members were just talking about speculation and saying things like "lets wait until we get official news" and "I'll believe that title when it shows up on Toolband". Now, when we get news on a title some don't particularly like, they just seize this opportunity to rip it down. They beg for info then whine when it comes.

If the album is capable of getting a goofy, eccentric british journalist to masterbate and cry during the playback, i dont care what its called. Kudos to Tool.

Don't get me wrong, the title of the album won't influence what I think of the album itself. Right now it's all I have to really base anything on and it just doesn't flow the way previous album names did, so I'm not thrilled by it.

I mean Aenima was a word they made up, Lateralus is a muscle but both seemed to have amazing underlying meanings so even if the title is 10,000 days i have faith in the band to have meaning behind it.

The only reason I signed up to be a member of this forum is because I thought this needed to be said.

When I read all the comments about the new album it sounds like a bunch of ignorant jurior high schoolers ripping on each other and anything another person posts. I am not the most open-minded person on the planet (far from it). But almost everyone who posts on here seems to be just here to flame on anything they can.

First off: Just because I like Tool does NOT mean that all other bands suck. Way too many posters seem to think Tool is the God of all bands. Sorry. They are just people. I happen to like their music.

Second: Just becuase you dont like a band does NOT mean they suck. I Hate tons of bands, but that doesn't mean everyone should hate them. They all have their place. If you dont like a band, dont listen to them. Diversity rocks! If every band sounded like Tool, music would suck.

I have faith in Tool that the new album they release will be something I will enjoy listening to. It will not be for everybody, but does that make it suck?

The new supposed album name is not what I would have guessed Tool would call their new album. Does that mean it sucks?

Please think about what you are posting before you go bashing on somthing. People can get so much more accomplished when they work together or at least respect one another. Thanks for your time.

PS: Now is your chance to flame me for posting this.

I will do no such thing because i just joined today to say the same thing. I have been a tool fan since '95 and every tool fan *almost* i have met has been a really cool and open minded person but when i came on here a while back and started reading the posts for the past few months i have been appauled. Its truly sad people can be this cynical and immature. Be patient. Be kind to your fellow man. Tool's new album will rule and if you look at their history to think otherwise would to be totally ignorant to the fact that they never let us down and always rise to the next level.

While both posts are chocked full of great points...you must ask yourself this "does me complaining about people complaining on a message board....mean I suck?"

to that which you would answer "yes."

i agree. people on here seem like they are just sitting and waiting for the new album, like it is the only good thing to listen to. there were a handful of great albums that came out in the last year.


and people who are judging the album already based on the title, that just doesn't make sense. you have no idea the context of the title, or the way this will have anything to do with the theme. don't judge so quickly.

"Led Zeppelin's album is IV? That sounds like a terrible name, too similar to III. I bet it sucks.

Pink Floyd's Animals? Metallica's Master of Puppets?"


don't judge an album on its title until you hear it and put it into context.

"Led Zeppelin's album is IV? That sounds like a terrible name, too similar to III. I bet it sucks.

Pink Floyd's Animals? Metallica's Master of Puppets?"


don't judge an album on its title until you hear it and put it into context.

yes it is complaining about complainging but atleast were not bickering, being crude, being mean, calling names, and being immature. We are simply expressing our disgust with the way people are turning on the band due to dumb reasons. I would figure tool fans would support the band even if they decided to name the album the 9th moon i would wait to see what the true meaning was behind and to hear the material behind it not just judge a book by its cover.

Well, I'm not one of the people you are referring to so I'm not gonna go on "flaming" you. There are plenty of albums I have that have titles I wouldn't expect, but are good albums. Look at Nine Inch Nails and The Fragile. I love the album, but when I heard it was gonna be called The Fragile, I didn't know what to think. Same with With Teeth. Hah, look at GY!BE's Lift Your Skinny Fists.....that title sounds like something that would come from a scene band, but the album is one of the best I've ever heard. I have faith in the band and I know I won't be disappointed.

I think even the idea of letting the album be self titled would seem to be a cop out to many of you but most bands do that simply to let the music speak for itself.

I think it's pretty funny that this guys always responds to bitching by saying "OMG guyz, remember hoooker wiht a p3nis? that song totally is you right now! LOL!!1"

people have a right to their opinions about any material. get used to the fact that not everyone's just like you.

This thread starter explained pretty well that he has not heard the music yet, so is not making a condemning statement, but rather that as of right now, with all the information he has available, something doesn't feel right to him.

Oh, and I love how people are so seriously upset about how "tool fans act on this forum"

it's the internet, and it takes a while to get accustomed to the humor here. I'd say (no, I guarantee) that at least 95% of posts that you see here that "rip on someone" or "sound like high school juniors" are just sarcasm.

get the lead pipes out of your asses, please.

That's very, very interesting to me for some reason. He said "DO THE MATH."

So I counted the characters in the title of Blairs post. It comes out to 27 characters because of the mistake in the spelling of the word "youre."

Coincidence? Most likely, but I wanted to see what everyone else thought about that. Typo? Yes? No?

First of all you can't guarantee shit. Why do you even spend time writing that when you have no clue what so ever like the rest of us. Even tho I honestly don't doubt it will meet YOUR expectations, as it seems your standars are so low you can't even tell a good title like aenima from a shitty nu-metal influenced 10.000 days.

have a good day.

.....What makes AEnima such a good title and how the fuck do you get that 10,000 days is nu-metal influenced? How many of us know what AEnima means and how many of us know what 10,000 days means? To me, they are similar in their mystery.

Can you please explain in depth what makes a title shitty? I'd love to know.
