"It meanders and meanders and meanders."



Yeah it never quite manages to GO, it's always just getting there.

Just realized this album already has been out for 5 years and I still refer to it as the "new tool album". Man

12 years from now you're still going to be referring to this as the new Tool album

Every song on this has a climax that is satisfying. This criticism that nothing goes anywhere is just dumb. I can give you specific time-stamps for each track

Same, the only track I find underwhelming is Culling

people shit on Culling but it's probably the only Maynard performance that I like here besides Descending

Invincible's easily my favorite song here tbh



Culling does mostly suck though. The first half is such a fucking slog

I have no desire to learn those chord progressions on the intro but yeah, every track here is fun to play. Adam really went all out with some of these songs

Pneuma and Invincible are a blast to play, the rest is a nightmare if you don't want to fiddle with effects every 5 seconds

“Culling does mostly suck though”



It’s executed beautifully live. I enjoy it, but it definitely translates better in a live setting.

The buildup is meh but I adore the verses on that song. Maynard kills it

Culling voices sucked live too. The first half is great and the second half is pathetic.



Also that new live version of descending absolutely kicked ass when I saw it live. YTF isn't the album version like that?!

"Every song on this has a climax that is satisfying"



The climaxes here are nowhere close to the stuff they did before. Culling Voices builds up to a generic riff and t/t to a meh solo



CV is their worst song imo

i hope one day tool makes a concept album with lyrics strictly about pointing and waving fingers in various different ways, in various different directions, into various different things

you could do a lot with that
