I am very interested in their new album, but I really don't like leaks but it feels like I'm cheating.

There have been like 5 links in the last few pages.

But to all you who downloaded i just want to say good job finding it and happy to you you finally got your addiction started for new tool and couldn't wait for a highly anticipated album to hit stores, i guess we can't be patient when it comes to stuff we can't wait for....What happened to Being Strong and resisting.....Well hope you all enjoyed the album as i will on the 2nd so peace out

If someone who has the full 11 tracks could send me an IM over aim, playwatsnotthere, so we can talk about the last two tracks... I only have the first 9... I would be SOO grateful

Dirty pirates, I'm waiting till its released.

Argh

I'm not as impressed as I hoped I would be.

...But then again I'm only halfway through the second track.


I'm kinda liking the APC influence, then again kinda hating it :/

Ah damn. I've read all of the 'spoilers' in here and I'm really pumped about the album. I wonder how it finally leaked...

Still waiting until May 2nd for it though.

Argh this is torture!!! I dont want to download it but I keep going to the torrent site and looking at it...I want to wait till I get the cd in my hands and just experience it completely but I just cant help myself.

Its been 5 years...just 12 days more :S

I love this album...
It's different, but I really, really, really, REALLY like it now that I've listened to it twice.

Rosetta Stoned is quite odd though...
But the guitar in Right In Two is pretty much awesome.

I'm on the first listen and I feel disappointed. No track sounds like Vicarious. And it seems they are doing the same old riffs in a not-awesome way.

/is listening to Intension

Thanks for the support man, I think the safest route is to leave this thread alone until release, besides I dont like talking about new releases here that much any more, too many ****ing elitists and cynics who hate everything thats not shredtacular.

must...resist...

nah, i'm not downloading it, i don't want to take away the pleasure to buy the CD, put it in my stereo and listen to it, i haven't waited five years for a leak ;)

Those people who've d/l'd it, for shame ! >:*

I'm waiting.
There's plenty of music I can listen to at the moment, and two more weeks is jack shjt.

CD + Booklet/Artwork + Headphones ftw.

Alright, Jambi is the worst song on the record, followed by the Pot. And what's up with Viginti Tres? Five minutes of static.

The Pot is my favourite so far. It's amazing. Rosetta Stoned kinda sounds like Korn of something. :-/

this is the biggest dillemna in the past 5 years of my life...... i feel so lost right now

Oh GOD PLEASE SOMEONE SEND THE ALBUM TO ME!!!
PLEASE!!!

why dont u just wait two weeks is it that hard?

could someone ysi one song form the new album... just one song... :)

Its only 9 more days if you live in Aussieland. Will be leaving this thread until the album is actually out.
Its a bit of a shame i think that it went so long without a leak, then it all came out.
See you all on the 29th of April

Morning all. Listened to the album in bed last night once all the way through, then I think I listened to a bit more, but was too tired so went to sleep. Listening to it again now.

Very interesting experience.

Vicarious is a great song, I love it now. So catchy, great atmosphere.

[b]Spoiler:[/b]

Jambi, I wasn't getting at first, the vocals were kinda cool in places, but I have to say that the one chord chugga thing wasn't amazing, by far the most amazing part of the song was the talkbox solo, which was one of the most interesting solos I've ever heard, at first I thought it was a heavily effect laden Maynard, I've never heard Talkbox used like that, amazing. Song in general sounded better the second time, it'll be a grower. The Mesuggah influence is apparent. New sound for Tool.

Wings was a cool intro. Builds up nicely. Parabol part 2, yet not at all.

10, 000 Days I enjoyed a lot. Great atmosphere, I loved how they incorporated the storm and rain into the song seemlessly. Very progressive, very interesting sound. Maynards vocals were amazing in places. The music was very interesting.

The Pot just made me grin so much. I loved it on my first listen. can't wait to get to it in the album again. Maynard is an amazing vocalist, after this many years and hearing him recorded so many times, how does he come up with new sounds like this. Awesome.

Lipan Conjuring is like, a much better version of mantra in my mind, a transision track that I could actually listen to. Did I hear a talkbox guitar in there at one point too disguised as a voice? Cool stuff.

Lost Keys is weird. Good weird, I guess. Intermission on LSD.

Rosetta Stoned... Was quite cool. I thought it was quite good though I don't remember much of it.

After this song I just remember it all being very progressive and new sounding.

This sounds nothing like Lateralus. It's a great album, we'll see how it goes over time. Maynard sounds great on it (when you can hear him), and the instruments are very cool too. Anyone who likes the more progressive side of Tool should end up really enjoying this album.

yea I'm downloading it!

60%...almost...almost...

[QUOTE=Dunkelheit509]Christian beliefs have a lot to do with being a good person, and I think Lateralus is all about how to be one. I'm not saying Lateralus is christian, but there could be a connection.[/QUOTE]
all religion in the world tells you how to be a good person. not only the christian.

for me Lateralus is general a spiritual album;


edit: ups... that was a bump... from site 8xx :eek: i followed a wrong link

Nothing can top Lateralus, this doesn't come close. Liking Jambi much better now.

[QUOTE=Kage]I'm not really feeling any temptation to download the leak either. I can hang out in here as long as people aren't discussing the album.[/QUOTE]

I feel the same. Not that I dont want to hear it,but I just have no major urge to download the leak and ruin it for myself.

I salute all you who stand in our corner, and those that have listened and posted reviews, thanks for the clear spoiler heads up (well, those that bothered to anyway). The thread is still readable thanks to that :)


(there isnt any sarcasm in that statement btw, in case it was misinterpreted)

*SPOILER*

I was so dissapointed last night...After waiting an hour and a half for my download i burnt my cd and tucked myself up in bed. So i likten to vicarious and am all :) then jambi come on with tat annoying fckin riff and i'm like 'i can deal with this' well it turned out to be a mediocre song, sounding a little too APC-like for my liking. So then the next track kicks in and im falling asleep WHAT? It's 6 mins of boredom, now i don't know if i wanted it to move too fast or anything, it was nice when the heavy part kicked in but it was somewhat shortlived. 10,000 days was OK i suppose, after the annoying intro but by this time i was feeling tired and frustrated. It wasn't the 77minute eargasm i was expecting i turned off after track 5 and went to sleep.

So this morning i am going again, more awake and with a better, almost pessemistic attitude, we shall see how it goes...

Yah it's pretty much reflex to come to R&M only for this thread, so I can't help but open it everytime I come on Mx.

No one listens to me when I say don't have such high expectations. Setting yourself up for disappointment is so silly. :(

This album is very progressive. I can see fans of Undertow and much of Ænima being alienated by much of this release, even much of Lateralus isn't quite progressive in the same way that this is.

[b][i]This album isn't bad, it just might not be to a lot of peoples tastes.[/i][/b]

My expectation has always been that this will be the best Tool album yet, not the best album ever by any band, I cant even judge what deserves that spot. I cant see anything short of a total musical change of direction would dissapoint me

It doesn't touch aenima.

At the moment every song seems too long. And i was listening with headphones yesterday, the production makes it seem overly pretentious and some of the sh!t going on messed with my head...:-/

The Pot is a great song. Tool goes to funky town.

i trust the band knows what they are doing

I guess you and I feel the same. I'm so angry they didn't continue with the Rosetta Stoned part 1:13 - 1:30. The best part on the album and it's only 17 seconds long :mad: :smash:

*Spoiler?*

I haven't got past track 5 in a listen yet...lol

But i'm talking about stuff like the intro to 10k days...and the pot in general.

This album should not be 77minutes long from what im hearing at the moment. It just seems far too drawn out. But maybe that'll help it's replay value.

Also this album isn't seeming as 'heavy' as i thought it was gonna be. Aftyer vicarious and Jambi i was thinking it was gonna be pretty intense but it's a little softer than i anticipated.

To be fair though. Throwing positive/negative opinions around at this stage beyond passing comments about parts of songs is fairly unfounded. Tool's music has always taken a while to sink in for me. I was NEVER, AMAZINGLY awed by Lateralus from the first listen, I thought parts were cool, just like this time. But when you don't know where songs build and climax and sooth then you don't know how to react. When this album has sunk in we will know how to appreicate it and when to act appropriately. Some parts may be shi[i]t[/i]e (or not), I imagine people will have so many conflicting opinions about this release though, it's Tool's Kid A, in a way.

Impressions after my second listen are that this is, for the majority going to be a grower.
