It's all good. I was just joking.

The passtime of kings.

we appreciate it and will gladly take whatever info you have to share

unless its "the album is very nice. -the end"

is there an ETA on that un-reviewy, review, Kabir? : ) I'm sleepy

why's that?

eta - maybe another 15 or so mins.

i'm making it un-review-y because we've read lotsa reviews already. i'm hoping to get to the point that will resonate with you people.

i really woulda posted this back at 11 but my plans went ... longer than expected.

lol I feel a bit bad for Kabir. He must feel so pressured to make this review the best thing ever.

Kabir, you son of a bitch, how dare you blow us off and spend some time with the tool fam.

yeah foamy, i kinda do. i'm trying.

i think it's going to be sorta like my 1996 pre-review of aenima ( http://toolshed.down.net/news/tales/prereview.html ) ... i hope people are into a viewpoint from "one of us"

here's a leak....

"the meaning of "10,000 Days" was immediately clear to me."

christ. 38,000+ views on this thread in ELEVEN HOURS !??! fuck. sorry guys. i hope i didn't way overhype something.

No no... WE overhyped it. You're fine.

You didn't do anything except say you might have some info to share.....it's the retards in the new album bin that went apeshit.

Edit: thanks for the entertainment, it was fuckin' hilarious to watch.

Kabir, take your time dude... it's only 8:30pm Friday night here in Australia and the footy is about to start on tv (Good Friday game between Brisbane and Sydney) so I don't mind waiting at all...


I can't help feel that everyone is hyping this to extremes...

I hope your review is positive and uplifting

Cheers!

I loved his Aenima review so I'm looking forward to this

is it better than st. anger kabir?

yes its better than st anger.

i'm at track 8. almost done.

another tease: "To this point, I had noticed many little sprinkles from previous albums..."

kabir, please throw some lyrics in, like one-liners or such. that would be badass.

Im on Kauai. Its 12:40 am and I just closed my restaurant. I'm gonna kick back and enhance my jamaican half, while teasing my irish other half until you are ready Kabir. As they say here on Kauai, "No need rush."

Woh, it MUST be good! :P

Sprinkles from previous albums? I really like the sound of that.

The thing about quoting riffs from previous albums makes me think this will be there last. Its like a nostalgic look back at what theyve done.

Kabir,

Do you like wine?

I hope Ten Thousand Days comes with a free capsule of cyanide so that Tool fans can do the right thing for the world's gene pool.

A sprinkle of the following?

The Gaping Lotus Experience + Disgustipated + (-) ions + LAMC + Faaip de Oiad?

Sounds good.

why even say shit like this, dude? it is a completely unfounded claim that shouldn't even come up. The only people who think this might even remotely be true are journalists who honestly don't even come close to understanding what tool(say they) are about. there hasn't been one single piece of information, not even the tiniest little speck of anything, from the band saying that they are going to break up any time soon. and from where i'm sitting there is an excellent relationship between all the band members

So do we honestly give a fuck at this point what kabir thinks? I want to hear the damn thing for myself. I've had enough review snippets to last me four Tool releases. And if kabir truly thinks he wasn't going to build hype with that bs line he's laughing his ass off.

i'm real keen to hear about justins playing and sound.

Because APPARENTLY Justin's Kickin'

First of all I didnt make a claim I made an observation based on the knowledge Ive been given. Second of all a band break up wouldnt necesserily mean they have fallen out over something, they could just retire.

Is anyone else picturing Maynard standing over Kabir's shoulder, tapping his foot and saying "Review it and give it back, I have grapes to babysit"?

hahaha! "bite the kabir that feeds you". great NIN references all around.

man i can't tell you how stoked i am to have figured out the 10,000 days meaning. i am pretty sure you will all get it on listen #1. i will not ruin it for you.

and yes i do like wine.

It is interesting to note that a lot of it is quiet. That was one person's impression but I find it odd seeing as how most of what we've been told is that it's predominately heavy. But I'm all for more experimentation and emphasis on the "soundscape" side to it.

Do you really want another TOOL album recorded after 10,000 Days?

Can you tell me anyway?

come on already kabir! =)

Is it really super awesome?

i'd much rather have any number of slightly shitty tool albums than countless numbers of shitty nickelback albums

So what's the deal? Any word on the single being released prior to the 17th? I was hoping for streaming tonight but then again I've built myself up to a grouchy over-optimist after first reading your initial post.

I thank you in advance, Kabir.

I can't beleive how impatient and rude people can be. You've waited 5 ye.....Nevermind. You've already been reminded of this.
Put some chill out into ya

By what I can see, it's all just a bit of fun. Take your own advice.
