The new album is in no way what I expected, but I love it. It's like what Kabir said when he listened to it- not what you expect, but exactly what you need.

Im betting anyone that has followed Tool since the early 90's and who has attended well over 15 shows isnt impressed with this album..they find it enjoyable yet mediocre.
Has it ever occured to you that they are human? I love this album, not only because it's amazing music, but because they stayed true to themselves... maybe "evolving" is the wrong word here, I think they've just grown up, that's all. People change, and if you find a way to make your music change with you, without having to mass-produce reproductions of what made you famous, all the better. Staying true to yourself is what makes you an artist.

Rosetta Stoned is much more than a stoner song/funny story. Its the key to this album really. If you've been paying attention to what Maynard's been saying in recent interviews, it wont take long to figure it out.

Been a Tool fan since '92.

And, well, considering the way I feel right now about 10,000 Days, I think that while not a perfect album (they still haven't made one) it's exactly what they should have released and is a wonderful album.

Yes, as others have said, I'm glad this album is not a concept piece. And I'm glad it's not as serious as Lateralus. That is the closest they've come to a concept album, and while it was excellent, if we would have gotten another record like that I think it would have seemed a bit dull of the boys.

All I can say is that while I absolutely love those songs, I'm fucking glad they are not writing songs like Hush, Sober or even Stinkfist anymore. They made them already. Why do they need to make them again?

In what way is it unpredictable?
I would like someone to explain this.
When I first heard it, and today, it's pretty much exactly the album I would have expected them to make...

Because I still don't have an answer.
I love Tool, and I love 10000 Days and have no problem with it at all. But it's the first time they've done something which hasn't thrown me for a loop or surprised me. The Pot is a bit of a surprise, I'll concede.
Oh, and STFU.

I don't feel that the fire is gone.
Brings to mind the "considerately killing me" line from H, there's no way that exposure to all of this hasn't changed who they are as artists but I'm impressed at the way they've dealt with it and continue to release great art.
They've said themselves, there's only so much that they can throw out there to teach people, show them a different way to look at things.
You ever just get tired of talking to someone because they don't seem to be listening or understanding so you just kind of say "fuck it" and do your thing?
This album has some weaker parts, some good parts and some incredible parts.
I feel the same about all of their albums, really, and love them all.
Obviously we haven't all transcended our physical vessels to join a massive energy web because here we are, still experiencing all of this...
the same bullshit, the same pain, the same ignorance and separation and lack of any kind of understanding or evolution.
Frustration. That's the theme, I think.

So many people could not stand Lateralus when it first came out. Once the album was out long enough, it sunk in with most people (that i have talked to) and it was then accepted. It's gonna be hilarious to come back here in a year or two and see how many people have changed their minds about this album....once it hits 'em.

I question the first statement only because of some of your posts.
I don't even know how to reply to the second statement because it is so fucking ignorant.
Did you put that in their job descriptions when you hired them?
Jesus, man.
What is an artist's job? Do you have any artistic lean whatsoever?
Did I really just read that?

Well...haven't seen 15 shows as of yet, but definitely qualify as an early 90's listener.

But I love the album...my only reservation with it is...it seems incomplete...even though its 80 minutes long, it has the feel of an EP.

I kind of have to agree, too.
Strange to have an 80 minute album seem like an EP but, I have to admit, it does. One more epic song at the end or something?
Maybe they'll sell a patch online to fix this.

Oh come on man. you don't really believe that Adam, Danny, and Justin are sitting in their boxers watching the discovery channel in those breaks do you? They are constantly finding new things to stimulate them artisticly. Sure it doesn't always get thrown into a tool album but there is still growth, meaning the artistic nerve could not be dead.
