How can you go through 3 copies!?! :amaze:

[QUOTE=The JoZ]The same thing has kind of happened to me too. IE, I don't listen to Tool as much when I drive, cause of stuff like Dream Theater, Unearth, Soilwork, etc.

But Tool is ultimately my #1 band, and nothing will change that, unless their new album blows.[/QUOTE]


one word........IMPOSSIBLE

Even if their new album blows, their past will still keep them in favour with me.

Unless Mogwai release an album better than CODY. Or I hear the rest of Opeth's discography and find it just as good/better than what I have.

But no way would I change complete opinion on Tool if their new album fails to hit the mark.

listen to the sh*t outta it (nice english) my bro is a big fan, and I got all my friends into it.

Very carefully my friend

I mean, I would still listen to their older stuff...but they'd better do a good job, what with Octavarium coming out in June...

When I bought Train of Thought, it literally didn't leave my car for like two months.

I'm hoping Octavarium is that good, if not better. Same goes for Tool's new album, when it comes out.

Lending it out to careless friends
Using a knackered CD reader of some sort
Poor storage
Mistaking it for eMOTIVE


Though i listen to Tool from MP3 format now, so my CD's sit away in my pride and joy CD area of my room

Being in England, Dream theatre really doesnt get sold to me (if you know what i mean) as much as Tool. can you recommend an album that would instantly give me the idea of whether I love or hate them?

Yeah at the moment I am listening to Dream Theater more than Tool. But I still listen to tool quite alot.

One thing I don't like about Dream Theater is that they're 'style over substance'. A lot of the solos are NOT well-placed.

Awake.

Their best mix of heavier and lighter songs, I think.

Ill know what im looking for next time i go CD hunting then.

tha sad thing is, i never know what bands you guys are talking about. I dont listen to the radio, and i know zero people who listen to that stuff. Dam i need to pirate some music

Read more threads on mx in general, that';s where i get at least half my music recommendations from. The rest comes from sputnik and MTV2 (which is better in England, trust me)

Personally I think it's hard to say, but Awake is somewhere in the middle between light and heavy, so it works best. The other albums are either centered on being lighter, or heavier.

I really like Dream Theater probably as much as I like Tool, even though I listen to Tool more often. What album is The Glass Prison on? That's the song that really got me into them. That might catch your ear "Adam Jones Is God".

i have every album (dad gave me them all) but i dont think i listened to a single one the whole way through. I love that song, forget which album, found the tab for it (like 20 pages) and cried like a little bitch cause you need a 7 string to play it. I hate fukking petrucci and his dam 7 string guitar i dont have !!!!

YTSE jam made me love dream theater. I had every CD and only listened to that track for like 3 months before i started to listen to others. Now i listen to glass prison, that track, and some of the budokahn CD

its on 6 degrees of inner turbulance. I love that song.

I will upload TGP for AJIG real quick...

Even though it's not on Awake, it is arguably one of their best songs.

Tgp? Ajig?

:cool:

Get images and words AJIG, I have awake, scenes from a memory and images and word. I did have 6 degrees but that bored me. Images and words should give you a look at their sound.

EDIT the glass prison is decieving, none of their other stuff matches it.

Dont confuse me :confused: I respect all of your musical recommendations, but dont contradict each other

Joz can you play TGP the whole way through yet? that was your goal at some point i think.

Meh it is just that i'm not a big fan of awake, and i was reccomended I+W and haven't looked back.

Images and Words isn't really heavy at all, AJIG. I don't suggest getting that first, because then you might not like their heavier stuff, which I find to be VERY good.

The Glass Prison isn't totally decieving, most of their later stuff kind of sounds like this.

And no, I cannot play it the whole way through yet, I haven't sat and actually learned the last half of it :(

Im loving what im hearing. His voice sounds a bit like Yourcodenameis:milo at points (which is good, and im probably the only one who thinks so). And the mixture of solos keeps it fresh for me

Cheers again JoZ. :thumb:

I just cant get the bit with the keyboard and guitar solos, it is just to fast for my fingers.
