So you didn't hear Intension and Right In Two? Two of the best songs on the record. 10 000 days (song) currently is a big disappointment. Not saying it's bad just I was expecting something completely different.

Shadius I'm saying what I think at this stage. I thought Lateralus sucked when I first listened to it so this all may change. I already changed my opinion about Jambi. I'm still not liking The Pot though, sounds to me like an Undertow B-side.

ive got it...

I've put it on my iPod and I'll be back in a while.

The 10,000 Days song with all the sound effects and such, that song totally took me to some cave with north American indians and shi[i]t[/i] in a forest. Some people really don't like sound effects in music though, so I can see a lot of people not liking it very much. I can see myself enjoying it a lot over time though.

Alot of talk on the 10k days forums about this being a decoy. I can't believe they would do it. But then i don't know how suprised i would be if it was true.

It is better on second listen, but i haven't popped a boner over it or anything.

Shadius, listen to it with good headphones..it messes with your head...

I think the people on those forums are morons for the mostpart, and they give Tool too much and equally not enough credit.

Decoy album? Well... This album has some quality stuff on it even at this stage, so why would they go to all the trouble?

Nothing about Tool would suprise me, making a decoy album is possible, but in my honest opinion it's highly, highly unlikely.

The people over on Tool Navy or whereever have heard it, not been blown away in a single listen, or not got the sound, or expected something totally different and been disappointed, and they're searching for hope that they'll get a heavier Lateralus part II.

And yeah man, my headphones are half decent, it was crazy stuff. Some of the riffs on the album totally buzz around all over the place. Am I detecting a LUSTMORD influence here? Particulary the last track. It's like a Faaip de Oaid type deal, but with a Lustmord sound.

:)

I dunno what you're detecting but i feel better with it coming through speakers lol.

I just realised, Tool's lyrics do seem to have gone in the direction I thought they would. After the spiritual/positive tones of Lateralus, they went more down to earth. This is their disappointed album, in the flaws of human nature. Their [i]blues[/i] album.

After all that bigging us all up, and spiraling out, we're going down to the nitty gritty.

I don't know why, but the whole album minus vicarious gives me a swampy, marsh like vibe

They said that's what they thought it would be...

Right in two is sounding nice...

has the album art leaked?

I think there's a lack of "catchy drumparts" on this album.. You know, like the intro to Ticks & Leeches, the one in Schism, and several parts of the song Lateralus... I could easily remember all of those drum parts after listening to those songs once

I think some things you're hearing that are fairly integral to songs might actually be percussion. I also think the melodic percussion in Vicarious is the most catchy thing Danny has done, lol.

thanks for the links fellas! :thumb:


as far as the whiny bitches are concerned....... :p :p :p

***SPOILER***

omgzzzzzzz

omg, ruinzed it for me ><

On a side not, I did give my town its first public airing of Vicarious today, courtesy of my friend's car, and 15 minutes in traffic

hehe cool. I'm gonna go for a walk and listen to the full album outside, it's actually nice weather today.

I blasted Vicarious with windows open as soon as I got the cd quality leak... Sharing the awesome Tool with the world

I can't wait for my dl to finish, I hope it finishes before i have to go to college. And for all of those complainers, it isn't that bad to get it early. Personally, im still buying it the day it comes out, and im also seeing them in concert May 20th, so.... i deserve some special treatment. :smoke:


Edit: I cancelled my link, I felt bad.... stupid conscious. :upset:

Felt bad about what? lol

My one and only concern is whether or not this is the fully mastered version, though I'm fairly sure it is at this stage.

[QUOTE=Shadius]haha, what did you think?[/QUOTE]

This post includes spoilers. you have been warned.

I'm on Rosetta Stoned now.

It's amazing imo.
Very Progressive and interesting. Vocals on Rosetta Stoned are funny. Very American:p

Jambi reminds me of Pink Floyd for some reason. It could be the fact that MJK says "Shine On..." or it could be that strange guitar bit just before that...dunno.

The Pot rocked my socks and intestines. It's amazing.
10 000 days was holy magistrate good. Impressive.

I'm on Intension now.

EDIT:enjoying Right in Two...
I'm getting a sense of Disposition/Reflection/Traid with Rosetta Stoned/Intension. It's not the same, but 3 songs that sort of lead into eachother.

I can't wait to blast some of this stuff going into college on monday in my new shiny automobile.

My system is the worst ever though :(.

haha


for SOME reason, i didnt bring my headphones into work :upset:


Im going to the mall on my break to pick up a cheap pair actually.

So who's going to do the review on Sputnik?

i would, but i dont go to that site

About 20 different people, 18 of which will be poor reviews all 5/5, 1 person who will do a good review, and someone from Alt/Indie who will rate it less than 3

Of course, I cant assume without hearing it. But due to sputnik's rules, you will have to wait till May 1st till reviews get posted.

yea, that doesnt surprise me (about the terrible reviews)

I will do a fair review if im bored in the next few days.

I am enjoying it more. But it's no masterpiece.

3.5/4 atm...

how could you POSSIBLY give the album a rating after a day :angry:

Yeah I reckon it'll be Nacho who does the below 3 review of the album. It's almost 100% certain he'll do it.

10 000 days(song) reminds me of that one Madonna song on Ray of Light...can't pen the name...

EDIT: FROZEN!

[QUOTE=Che Guevara]how could you POSSIBLY give the album a rating after a day :angry:[/QUOTE]

I've listened 3 times now...It's just my rating atm. Obviously im in no position to write a detailed review but i can give you a general gist of my opinions about what is good, and not so good and so can tally up a rating...

eh, it takes me a few months to get a full idea of what i think. The songs that stick out to me NOW will be the songs i listen to the least later

Can you guys believe what's happening?
We have the new Tool.
5 years...and now we have it. Think about that.

im thinking about me in 2 hours, getting a pair of headphones so i can REALLY give it my attension.


The boss is out TOOOOooo. I feel like an idiot, but i cant say i forsaw TODAY as being that day :D

Just before I went to bed last night, while having a huge fever, I checked that it was leaked on OiNK. But I'm not a member there, so I just left it.

So when I woke up the thread was going crazy. So then I knew what was going down. omg.

The Pot omg

EDIT: If anyone still wants the mp3 version, just post your email and I'll send it.

Just use dbpoweramp to convert, easy as ****.

Uh, I skimmed the album then went back to Lateralus. :smash: I shall wait until I have a good 77 minutes to fully absorb the thing...

ill take it
