different strokes... so that's your rationalization for the next album sounding like 10,000 days?

and your point about them not making music is ridiculous. they've been making music in other projects constantly. you're teenage angst and sense of entitlement is a little misguided.

Tool is a lazy band that at some point bought into their own delusional bullshit. Their best days are long behind them and I suspect after what will be 8 (maybe?) years between albums the end result will be little more than a 10,000 Days part two level album. Far from the MASTERPIECE our resident i...

Damn, you're so cool. Cool has nothing to do with it. If anything it's a commentary on the diverse nature of Tool fans. They seem to be able to draw in fans from all sorts of genres If you look specifically at the members of Tool and learn about the music that has influenced them....you'll find it'...

It is fruitless to allow the ignorant to drag you down to their level and beat you with experience. It's hilarious you're so infatuated with a band you clearly hate. Obsessing over what they don't do for you... spending hours on their forum... hating them. Your life must really suck. To not allow yo...

You're age doesn't mean you aren't still spewing petrified garbage every time you post and you get butt hurt when somebody calls you on your fucking lame-ass negativity. I don't care what fucking thread it is. You're the one who needs to grow the fuck up. Posting every day about the album not being ...

is it fucking opposites day and no one told me or is this gay bashing newb proving as useful as a vocalist during a 10 year writing process... @MOG: eat a bag of maynard's dead cat dicks Oh and fuck Tool. Go buy the new Jesu album it is fucking FANTASTIC Jesu - Everyday I Get Closer to the Light fr...

awww did I forget to put on my crown of negativity? if you queers didn't bitch and moan on every thread I wouldn't be forced to pee on your shitty parade.

Maynard does have a gift for poetry. It's easy to see how some of his work would pique curiosity... especially in the younger generation that are just being introduced to the music. Their first taste for a spirituality outside of their upbringing may have been found through the band (mine was). This...

well by my count that's one complaint for me. 1157 for MOG.

Well Toolios it is almost October and your favorite band isn't close to hitting the studio. Album ain't getting recorded this year. Enjoy a third quarter 2014 release. #pathetic #laziestbandontheplanet #completelackofprofessionalism #nolongerrelevant obsess every day about something and it will be ...

Aside from the spectacular drum fill that puts the cherry on top, my favorite part of The Grudge is that brief little bit of silence they give you before "Defining! Confining! Controlling!... and we're sinking deeper!" They explode back in, switching the rhythms for the first time in the s...

Look 10,000 Days is NOT as good an album as Lateralus or Aenima ... and in fairness to 10,000 days, I think a lot of us can agree that those two albums are two of the better albums ever made, by any band. I think expectations should be tempered for the next album; people are only going to disappoin...

yeah they're retarded... they sold 500,000 albums in the age of pirating and they're the retards. makes sense. maybe... huh... maybe you... nahhh...

right... the band gives joe barressi the recording and they say "do with this what you will, hope it sounds great!" and then they just listen to the cd when it's on the shelves like the rest of us.

I see this is a complicated concept for you to wrap your head around. the mastering... is done... with the producer... and the band... to achieve... a sound... that makes everyone happy. except you.

to assume the band doesn't work with the producer of the album to achieve a certain sound is ignorant...

I personally recall saying to myself, upon my first few listens to 10,000 days, that the band seemed fucking huge on that album. they had an incredibly broad range of tone and timbre. moreso than on past albums. whatever they did, I thought it stood alone and it worked.

it's a metal band... distortion and feedback are a common part of the show and the albums. it's not a ridiculous notion to assume the band that is anal about every little thing would purposely include static and clipping. im sure there are other examples but NIN does it too.

I personally enjoy the mix of 10,000 days and appreciate that it is different than Lateralus/Aenima. I admit that part of that is my love for the band and I've kind of let them lead me by the hand with every record. When it came out I was stoked and thought it was brilliant just like I did with the ...

so... what I don't get to post Hellboy?

10. Intolerance 9. Stinkfist 8. Flood 7. No Quarter 6. Jambi 5. Parabol/Parabola 4. Aenima 3. Forty-Six and 2 2. Lateralus 1. Pushit (salival) Intolerance jumped into my top ten after seeing that live in St. Paul in 2010; what an amazing live song. Stinkfist was the first Tool song I ever heard live...
