this year has been ridiculously good for music. [2]
It's also the year of the comeback thanks to this, 24-7 Spyz, The Wildhearts and the upcoming King's X album.

@sitarhero
well, that's certainly one of the biggest parts on why it's been so good for me, because all of the comeback albums i've listened to so far have been fantastic.
i dunno, it might be a little ignorant, but I think comeback albums have had a bit of a stigma in the past, but this year just keeps thwarting that by surprising me with high quality returns.

it came out with the limited edition it looks amazing but haven't put it in because its only 7 tracks (which they did on purpose because of time and the 7 connotation on the entire album)

it'll probably be a digipak that reuses a small bit artwork from the limited CD

Some interesting stuff going on with the instrumentals. Technical, but very lowfi and subtle at the same time. I love how the song length and pacing is similar to old school prog like "In the Court of the Crimson King", or "Wish You Were Hear". Only disappointment is how Maynard takes a major backseat. His presence on the album just feels weak.

Yeah there's definitely been a stigma about comeback albums in the past, but maybe that's why we learned to keep our expectations low and enjoy the albums for what they are rather than what we wanted them to be.
Either that or the bands have learned to just make solid records that focus on their strengths on their return instead of swinging for the fences and fucking things up.

it just blows my mind a band like tool or rammstein can go away for so long, have fans create an impossible exception to live up to and actually deliver on it lol definitely shows the calibre of these bands

Anyone who thinks this is a masterpiece is delusional. Tool still wrongly think they're some proggy post-rock/post-metal type of band, padding out songs to unearned 10+-min run times with boring pointless passages, zero build, and zero payoff.
I wish they had stuck to being a great alt-metal (or whatever you want to call them) band rocking out on the likes of Parabola/The Grudge/Stinkfist/Aenima and left the post-rocking and metalling to the bands who know how to write interesting, involving, and evolving lengthy tracks.
That said, it's still a good album, and I'm excited to give it its 20th spin today. But it's really underwhelming, regardless.
