Probably from one of the 1,000,000,000 Tool websites.

I don't know who I am sick of more, Tool or The Arctic Monkeys.

Nah, they use a protactor on a graphed version of 10,000 Days.

[QUOTE=ArrestThisMan]YDload you love your exclamation points :-D[/QUOTE]

am i the only person who uses exclamation points on this site? or just the only one who uses exactly one per sentence, and not dozens of them along with that "!!!111oneoneeleven" crap that people still think is clever?

I can just picture an ultra-mega Tool geek sitting at a computer in his underwear in a darkened room listening to [I]10,000 Days[/I] over and over and doing shi[size=2]t[/size] like that.

Yea, I couldn't be more tired of that either.

That's awesome man. It doesn't surprise me that Tool would do something stellar such as this. They never cease to blow me away with each release. Incredible musicians!

hey we just made forum history...if you read all the posts backwards while listening to "Trapped in the Closet part 2" by R. Kelly...you'll be twenty-five percent dumber then when you started. CAUSE IT ALL SYNCS UP!

im trying really hard to be impressed...

but nothing's working.

i see it more as a coincidence, and really couldnt stand the "synched" track...



as far as people detesting the band, based on their fans, thats really one of the stupidest arguements i've ever heard. Thats like saying you don't like Wal-Mart due to the minorities present when you walk through the door :lol:

So if this is true, then like, a quarter of the album is really just meant as a backing track? Great. That explains it, I guess.

But yeah, cool. Sure, anybody who listens to the album casually won't get the intended experience and could possibly think that the album is just inconsistent and full of filler. But those guys are philistines! You've gotta work to enjoy art, right?

I'm gonna assume that this is just Tool fans looking too hard, as they tend to do. But if it's true, it's pretty douchey.

Yeah .......... I got it synced up last night (by lining up the 2 heavy parts) and listened to it again. I will say that it was earth-shatteringly .......... disappointing. I prefer the tracks seperately to be honest, and am going to just assume its a coincidence until such time as the band makes an announcement or something.

People sure did blow this way out of porportion, it wasn't that good.

When you listen to it, you'll see it's not a coincidence.

Wow thats amazing.... they echo... woooopdediddly doo. Dont reccomend waiting the like 8 minutes just to hear the exact same thing twice. That or i was a tad bit off in the sync but even if so it's nothing special like RoN says, certainly not twenty '!'s worth.
And i was watchin each time and they were nearly perfectly synched on the times, the echos were at least a few seconds off.. sooo its just echos YAY!

Oh my god man i thnk my head is going to explode!!! That is totally mind blowing.

No.

Nothing is coincidental with Tool.

Everything happens for a reason.

[QUOTE=Spat Out Plath]Tool is reason itself. Without Tool, there is no logic.[/QUOTE]

Without logic, there is madness. Lawl*essness. Anarchy in the U.K., so to speak.

*hahaha

Did you know that if you start playing a copy of Kid A and then start another exactly 17 seconds later, it synchs up?!?

*hits head against wall*

This may have already been said, but the Flaming Lips' [I]Zaareika[/I](sp?) was more innovative than that. It's good that people are experimenting with traditional musical formats though. I'm sure you all have heard about rearranging the tracks on Lateralus to make a continuous piece of music and whatnot. It's cool, but it's nothing new or fantastic, and nothing groundbreaking. That doesn't mean that it's worth dismissing though.

[QUOTE=Spat Out Plath]Tool is reason itself. Without Tool, there is no logic.[/QUOTE]

And don't let a 4 minute track of wind and flowing electricity tell you different.

What is this "Lateralus" thing you speak of? Can someone explain that one for me? Maybe in the topic I started about syncing things up?

[QUOTE=Iai]I have enough fun in my life without indulging the masturbatory habits of a band who sound perfectly fine without their ludicrously obsessive fanbase ****ing about with their music, thank you very much.[/QUOTE]

I just joined these forums and here is my first post: That is hilarious.

I am a fairly huge Tool fan and still think AEnima is one of the better heavy albums I've ever heard, but c'mon, the new disc sort of sucks. And this is ridiculous that people are freaking out so much about something that takes so much time. I mean, the Dark Side of the Moon-Wizard of Oz thing is one thing, this is just kind of stupid.

I like you just because of your user title.

You know how the lyrics in the song allude to spirals? "Spiral of love, keep going..." Well, apparently, if you take the tracks and rearrange them, they flow continuously. I'm not sure about this, but it sounds cooler. It goes 6,7,5,8,4,9,13,1,12,2,11,3,10. Basically add the tracks up and they make 13, go out until you hit "Lateralus," and then continue back in from the ends. If you were to graph the ordered pairs, they would make a spiral. If you focus long enough, Maynard himself will tell you the secret of life. Unless he's busy making wine.

Also, the drumbeats and lyrics in parts of "Lateralus" form a Fibonacci sequence: 1,1,2,3,5,8,13, etc. If you listen to Lateralus in this order, it sounds cooler:

Parabol
Parabola
Schism
Ticks & Leeches
Mantra
Lateralus
Faaip de Oaid
The Grudge
Triad
Eon Blue Apocalypse
Reflection
The Patient
Disposition


Yeah...

The hilarious thing is, if the album was actually released like that, it'd have been dismissed for being totally top-heavy. Wait, that'd make it 10,000 Days!

[QUOTE=ArrestThisMan]I like you just because of your user title.[/QUOTE]

Are you a fan of St. Louis or the name Miguel?

Either way, uh, thanks!

Has anybody heard about the newest thing with 10,000 Days? If you listen to tracks 1, 2, 5, 8 and then stop listening, it actually sounds like the band didn't completely lose its balls.

Oh ...

Yeah, Doom is a beast.

This is crazy, think about all the other stuff like this that no one knows about, I have heard scarcely any Tool but find their wittiness in doing that quite impressive. Word!

Does anyone know if the heavy part should be alined of if the vocals after than should be?
