Re: Tool USA Tour 2016
From watching the various clips on Youtube - there's definitely some really good ones out there, both video and audio quality-wise - I think this is the best Maynard has sounded in a long, long time. He seems to have figured something out. Maybe not necessarily for power and screaming (who needs to ...

Re: Tool @ Monster Mash Music Fest, 10/31/15
[Descending youtube vid] Damn, now that I've heard a more complete version with Maynard's vocals, I gotta say that is dope stuff. It's trippy too. If it's a sign of what's to come then I'm hyped. I like the vibe of this but isn't it, the guitar at least, more or less an exact mash-up of the Lateral...

Re: Puscifer - Money $hot discussion thread
Smoke and Mirrors is the most skippable track for me. I like it, but it's almost more of a monologue than Simultaneous. Agreed. 'Smoke and Mirrors' reminds me of 'A Stranger' from Thirteenth Step . Oddly sparse, almost like an interlude. Maybe 'Flippant' will flesh the album out even more? Seems as...

Re: The Grudge (WARNING: Ten Years, Shmen Years)
I feel like they should have adopted an EP release strategy, as sacrilegious as that sounds for an 'album' band. We know they were working on that 'long thing' a few years ago now, they could have released that as a discrete release, then a batch of another couple songs, etc., essentially as 'moveme...

Re: Puscifer - Money $hot discussion thread
Money Shot is a very strong album. Really all 3 full length LPs are strong compared to a lot of what's out there. The diversity of sounds and tones, moods and textures is great. I don't want to sell any of these 3 records short but I feel like at some point he could seriously nail it and release a ...

I agree. Just the way it was presented was odd, kind of a 'have your cake and eat it too' contradictory argument he was making there.hellboy wrote:I'm over 40 now and agree with what Maynard is saying. Too many people say dumb shit on the internet these days. We need some more social censorship.

Re: Random Tool Social Media thread
I'm puzzled. In that interview first he says "there's so much censorship, it's a free country, we should be able to say what we want and people shouldn't get on our backs about it, there's bigger fish to fry" and then follows that up with a tidy contradiction in a later question about 'The...

Re: Rate all the Tool and Tool-related albums in one big lis
I can see in theory why Lateralus rates higher for most but for me personally I know why Aenima takes the top spot. I remember going to the mall the day it came out, thinking the lenticular case was pretty cool and then promptly dropping (and cracking) it as I waited for my bus home. I didn't even k...

Re: Puscifer New Album discussion thread
I hate "Simultaneous." It's such a vibe killer. You know, I thought I'd find myself skipping the monologue but I'm not and that's weird. Only problem is that eventually you will; spoken word/monologue stuff can only be heard so much I think. However, it's always worked with Mogwai's 'Punk...

Re: Puscifer New Album discussion thread
Liking this on a cursory first listen. Gives me Eno vibes - Warm Jets, Another Green World, Before and After Science.
MJK as this generation's Eno would be a good thing.

Re: Rate all the Tool and Tool-related albums in one big lis
man a year ago or so i got ripped by members of this forum for saying that COMP was better in my mind than Undertow. And to be honestly they are about the same for me. But if i counted right, so far 4 people have put COMP ahead of Undertow. I'm one of those people. I think Undertow is just a produc...

Re: Puscifer New Album discussion thread
I like how the grapes just had to be raked out of those giant vats at the same time they were filming a promo vid for a music release. Evidently not a single moment to spare these days, those are for lazy people after all. Behold, we're witnessing an amazing multi-tasker at work!

Why the same old soundbites? Why not tell us a little about the books and movies that inspired the writing of this album so we can go along on the same ride? Give readers a little meat instead of instructing them to visit and be humbled by the Grand Canyon. The Grand Canyon, seriously?!? That's pret...

Maybe it's just me and I guess I was a bit guilty of it when I was younger (in the 90s), but now that the heyday of metal is largely over (thus, gone are the associated ghoulish graphics that go with it) who really wants to regularly wear a tshirt depicting a gruesome looking creature with its flesh...

Re: Puscifer New Album discussion thread
Lyrics really only ever get criticised when rest the song isn't that good. There are plenty of great songs out their with lyrics that are awful, cringeworthy tripe. I agree with this. Trent Reznor is the first to admit that lyrics are hard for him and a lot of NIN stuff word-wise is a bit off, even...

A pimpin' summer tune but I fully expect this album to define the Fall season once it drops.

Witnessing the majesty of (please insert sophomoric spirituality reference here)? To be fair, I do like Puscifer. Perhaps more than Tool, well certainly more than Tool if they don't head for Disposition/Intension territory on this next one. Otherwise they're just old guys doing their version of meta...
