When did you upload I still can't download it for some reason. This is quite annoying (for both of us I would imagine).

[QUOTE=magicaltroll834]123
Sorry, but it is WAY overhyped if this is what it's supposed to sound like. I actually like listening to the regular way more :/

But thanks for the effort, that probably took a loong time.[/QUOTE]

I agree. Dont apologise to me, im merely a sort of messenger.

And it took longer to upload than make, so no worry about the time.

im listening to the holy gift thing right now,,, but what is it exactly? just putting the lateralus songs together to show how good they fit?

this holy gift you speak of, whats the significance of it?

Come on Kurrpt, flick back some pages... it's basically a multitrack edit of lateralus...

i heard them talking about it friday, like they cut and paste parts together with parts. what the hell is the point?

Well they have no other tool stuff to be investigating, because the band are lazy an yeah :(

[QUOTE=kurrptsenate]i heard them talking about it friday, like they cut and paste parts together with parts. what the hell is the point?[/QUOTE]
I'm not sure if you knew this, but there's this whole theory that there's an alternate tracklist for Lateralus, based on some kind of pattern found with the track numbers and having to do with the lyrics title track. Something along those lines. Anyway, I'm pretty sure he was just cutting up the album to fit in the alternate track sequence.

what is the significance (i repost my question)


:lol:

No, there is a link posted a few pages back...which uses a multitracking program to mis different songs of lateralus over each other...it is supposedly 'the way' to listen to the album. There is an alternate track listing using the fibonacci sequence that you cna search in the thread for :)

umm.... not to sound like a repetive bitch...


but WHY would i care about some alternate track listing or whatever?

[QUOTE=kurrptsenate]..

YOU probably dont care, but there are some people here who DO care, and were interested in it.

So there was no need to ask the question. If you dont care, you know the answer already

i found the holy gift interesting. I personally have to much to do to worry about splicing all the songs together, but it's cool. Unfortunatly, i've lost my lateralus and may have to burn that to listen to something other than undertow and aenima until i have a decent tip night. (not to say the mix sucks, i would just rather hear the regular album version.)

well, thats why i asked the significance of it. I mean, if its like just another order, i fail to see how that changes anything. If its an entirely different feel, or something crazy happens, then i would be interested...


so ill ask the same question for a 4th time

I loved a lot of the holy gift but when faaip de ooaid came on I was really hoping after that the SUUUUUCCCCKK MMEEEE DRRRYYY bit was gonna happen and I got excited over it but I was let down by it but brilliant otherwise the second half of the holy gift wasnt as interesting as the first half but still you but a lot of work into it man thanks a lot.

Hmm i haven't yet had time to downlaod + listen, what with exam pressure and making time for sleep etc..

but Kurrpt, the point is, it gives a different feel, opens up new harmonies etc, i think. And the alternate track listing was utterly pointless, but very interesting...

Revolved aorund the fibonnaci sequence and the words 'spiral out' makes a good read.

please do not ask the question a 5th time :rolleyes:

hahaha alright then. I was hoping its not like the fibonacci thing, cause they doesnt change anything really.

I just want to know something more about Tool...do they have a theory abotu aliens or any theory??? and what are they?

^hmm except for faip de oiad (sp? too lazy to look it up)...if you search back there was a recording of the actual phone message that the song was taken from. The story has something to do with an ex-Area 51 employee phoning a radio station and he was scared of some aliens, tool must have thoguht something of this to include it in lateralus...Thats all i know about theories on aliens.

I remember reading an article related to tool, might have been written by blair (author of [url]http://toolband.com[/url] ) Explaining how he had a wierd dream about aliens and how it related to something that happened in real life, it had mentions of members of tool in the article and is kinda related to tool....Don't know where you might find it on the site, and am too tired to look.

Danny has strong beliefs on the sauniere/rennes le chateau mystery and some enochian magic/language see [url]http://www.dannycarey.org[/url] for deetails.

He also arranges his drum kit in some bizarre fashion which is kinda related to his enochian magic thing...

I can't think of any more...

Oh... I thought that the noises in faip de oiad were supposed to be the voice of god because the title means voice of god. But yeah, that'd be pretty cool if they were aliens.

Oh, is that what AJIG was doing? I thought he was doing a random one.

Oh yeah I posted that story on this forum in my noob years :cool:


(as stumpetioto)

I just finally decided to buy Lateralus yesterday. It should be here in the next few days. I have never listened to a single Tool song, but I have heard so many great things about them. I hope it is as good as all you fanboys out there say it is.

I admire your curiosity. Are you sure you don't want a few listens before the CD arrives?

[QUOTE=In Chains 36]I admire your curiosity. Are you sure you don't want a few listens before the CD arrives?[/QUOTE]
Since it was ranked 2nd best R&M album of all time in here, I figured it would be OK to just go ahead and buy it.

Hope you like it, be sure to post your reflections in here.

Is it true that you don't listen to the album, you "surrender yourself to it"?

[QUOTE=Metal_Head_617]Is it true that you don't listen to the album, you "surrender yourself to it"?[/QUOTE]

Well, I suppose it would depend on the listener. It definitly demands your attention though, so doing something else while listening to it won't give as much as a gratifying experience the first time around...

[QUOTE=Metal_Head_617]Is it true that you don't listen to the album, you "surrender yourself to it"?[/QUOTE]
That would depend on who it is, of course, but you could say that. Definately give it a full listen at high volume, without interruption the first time. Part of the novelty of all their albums is the feeling of the entire product, not a combination of thirteen great songs.

I'll probably listen to it right before I am going to go to bed. I really can concentrate on my music then.
