this is a major letdown, like if I had an isolation chamber this would be a jam but driving down the road this could cause accidents due to sleeping at the wheel

Album Rating: 4.5

It’s close, but I prefer this slightly. Both are great fucking albums though, I’m really splitting hairs.

Album Rating: 4.0

My initial 5 was definitely premature as this sunk down to a mid to low 4 after awhile. Returning after awhile though tells me that this probably is up there in Tool's discography for me. It just gives me the meat without having to work too hard with their atmospheric feel still on display. I still have issues sometimes with the semi-lack of Maynard, but not a glaring omission at all - stellar album.

when is this gonna drop

It's a bit like looking at ants walking in circles

ants walk in lines, no?
saw a huge trail of them coming out of a gutter the other day and had to blink twice bc i could have sworn there were no metal bands in my town!

Album Rating: 3.5

This album is flawless... until the end of descending.



Culling voices first half is great and then it just... does nothing. I get that it's Maynard being clever. We expected a scream, and culling voices literally means 'no speaking' and you can interpret that as no screaming, but that concept ruins the song. CC trip is a waste of time when the whole album is a drum solo (and this is coming from someone who has drummed for 20 years and DC is my favourite drummer) and Tempest should be half as long. I love long songs but tempest is just long for the sake of it. I still think this album is excellent but man the second half is too bloated.

Johnny, looking from afar the do a very big circle...

most of the ants i've met recently (in my apartment) have been on a one-way path to certain death :'[

It's all one big circle, you don't get it, no wonder you low rate tool XD have you never watched the Lion King?

Album Rating: 4.0

Isn't the circle of life a deliberate lie by Mufasa to justify his terror regime? Like, Lions aren't the only animals to die and become grass. Antelope do the same thing. As do all animals. That's the deeper meaning of the movie. Scar did the right thing by ending the segregation of hyenas

The villains always have the most righteous purposes.

"have you never watched the Lion King?"
disney's version of hamlet? thought that narrative was one big downward spiral :O

lol you re too smart for me



Mufasa also forgot the part where the shit comes in, kalk...

i kid haha, but if birth/death/absorption is the cycle we're dealing with, does that mean it should be mandatory to raise kids on tool?
