The main riff of the debut song from 10K days started in a very similar key and a very similar tempo to the debut song from Lateralus. Surprised you guys didn't get the same vibes hearing it for the first time.
I know there were plenty who got the same vibes, but I find it absurd. They clearly sound nothing alike, except for the fact they are both distinctly Tool songs. It's such a low effort criticism that I can't help but discount it immediately.

Who said anything about being critical? Why ya gots to be so negative all the time Hellboy? Pointing out a song has a similar vibe is not a criticism

To say they clearly sound nothing alike is to me absurd. Theres only 12 keys on a guitar, of course some songs will end up having similarities. The opening note of vicarious is in the key of D. Guess what schisms main riff sits in?

It was a sweeping statement not meant to be taken personally. When someone says that Schism sounds the same as Vicarious, it's hard to take them seriously.

Criticising a Tool song for sounding like a Tool song is barely even criticism at all.

Just fucking around mate, didn't take it personally at all. Like I say I'm pretty sure it's the opening note is what caused the comparison so see no problem with it all. If i had to pick two songs in their catalogue that remind me of each other based off that intro alone, it would be them.

Schism - Point the finger, blame the other

Vicarious - Frown out your one face, but with the other

Just one small example of many, they are basically the same bloody song mate.

So despite the fact that to my ears I noticed some similarities the very first time I heard it without any influence from others. And according to you , there's plenty of others out there that share this opinion. You call it absurd if anyone has a difference of opinion to you on this? Kinda comes across as pretty damn stubborn to me .... Just saying

what's actually going on with the quality of the new facebook header. looks like it was created with MS Paint. one would think a band who won the grammy for best artwork would at least use a power point preset and screenshot it...

ya, i dont get why its such a big deal if someone thinks that. i know when 10k came out i didnt like it that much and that was weird cause i never felt that way about a tool album before! i thought Vicarious sounded similiar to Schism too and so did my cousin! other songs as well didnt feel right entirely but i just edited that out to not go on and on. ha!

anyway, tech this or that. if something reminds you of something else, it just does. Vicarious is just kinda mah and i could do without it. the end part is the only real awesome thing about it to me that i liked right from the start..i hear ya man!
