Now Vicarious on the other hand... I wish they'd stop playing if he can't/won't nail the end. Kills the entire song for me.

I always thought this was done on purpose, as it is written to be sung by the crowd and then he replies 'much better you than I'

BTW how awesome was Maynard’s voice on part of me?!
Dude killed it. And at 55 no less. The guy is a stud!

This is a little troubling. This, along with other segue type material could potentially mean an album of only 5 (albeit lengthy) actual songs. I get it that there has always been a place for this sort of stuff on Tool albums (since Aenima, at least), but does anyone not just consider the likes of this just filler? Does anyone actually listen to useful idiot, etc etc?? Precious album time lost.

Still holding a candle for a double album despite knowing that its about as likely as world peace.

Yes, it's 15 minutes now with a timer counting down. When we saw them, the guy next to me thought that it would stop at 08/30 because that's when the new album was coming out, but I knew that it would keep going. Strange...silence, nothing, not even Intermission playing..

I can see it being a double album in a similar vein to Metallicas Hardwired album. Say 90 minutes of music altogether with about 6 songs and a bunch of segues

I agree... Although, Lost Keys & Intension etc while are all very listenable... I suspect most would willingly trade them off for more of the more complex, rich tracks that Tool are known and loved for.

I promised myself I'd listen to Hardwired again once I get my legally obtained, free copy (& good on Metallica for doing that too).

Scrap about 4 songs off the 2nd disc and you've got yourself a pretty bloody solid Metallica album. Very much looking forward to hearing songs like Halo on Fire and moth into flame live later in the year.
