Yeah.. what was I thinking, I don't even LIKE Tool.

*ears bleed*

IM about to listen to the single, pretty stoked as i can't wait for the new album to come out!!! i bought the Guitar World issue with an interview with Adam Jones, its a great interview you guys should check it out. Anyways, As far as the single goes remember that they have to stick to a certain format for radio play, so this doesnt mean that its the best song on the album and i think its probably not at all!!!

I cant wait!!! :D:D:D

I like the song but they really could do better with the lyrics. "Don't look at me like I am a monster"...?

****... the single doesnt work.

anyone know where i can get my hands on a working copy? on a website or something??/ thanks

I'll look at you like a monster when you hit 666 posts.

To be honest though, you could say the lyrics were a "Step down" from anything on Lateralus, besides say Tick's and Leeches, but I really do quite like them. They're more down to earth and have more of an apparent point while still having different interpretations.

Well, it's being streamed [URL="http://www.distortiononline.com/Tool_Vicar_Full.mp3"]here[/URL] on quicktime. I don't know where you can get an actual copy...alot of the links seem to be down now..or over exceeded their download limit.

word!! thanks man im listening now its good man wicked bassline!!

The YSI link like 10 pages back still works.

I just got back from a week long trip to Virginia and just downloaded the song. I like it a lot, especially the vocals, since for a lot of the song they're almost like a raspy whisper, which suits the song quite well. The very end reminds me of the end of "War Pigs" by black sabbath, how it speeds up. Seems kinda out of place, but overall the song is awesome.

Are stations playing Vicarious or is it still slated for Monday?

I'm not sure but I think they're still waiting for Monday...at least my local station is.

It'd be stupid to e-mail the program director of my local station about it again, so I'll wait until Monday or scope the stations tonight.

I think the only reason they might be waiting for Monday is to avoid any legal problems..but I'm sure most know that the nearly everyone's heard the song by now.

This may sound stupid, but I don't care. I've said it before, but I'm waiting till' Monday to hear the single, for the express reason that it's the band's wishes.

It's been nearly FIVE years....what's 48 more hours?

2 more days.

^Those were my intentions as well but I wasn't strong enough. Oh well. Actually, my original plan was to wait until May 2nd to listen to anything off the new album..then I decided it'd be okay to listen to just the single on the 17th...then...nothing went according to plan..i couldn't resist.

Well, yeah.

I hear what you're saying.

The album will still be a spectacle.

I think the songs pretty ****in cool. I expected it to sound a lot like Lateralus' songs. I didn't really expect it to be a huge jump from Lateralus. How could any band make something a huge step up from Lateralus? Not cause its their best CD, just because how do you make a huge stepup from lateralus :p.

Sweet avatar!

As my cousin says, there's at least one good Pittsburgh team every year.

Guess that was the Steelers this year.

haha thanks. Yeah it definitely isn't the Penguins. I still have hope for next year though. They just sent 8 players back to their farm team, thats how lousy they are. They're still only ever losing by like 1 or 2 goals though :D

Yeah, I don't see the lyrics as very "emo" at all. The actual genre of emo's lyrics are very, very different from these.

I think the song kicks ***.

What I really hate is how the Penguins are gonna' get the #1 draft pick again this year and they'll probably do poorly next year anyway. If they decide to draft Phil Kessel, that means they will have Fleury, Malkin, Crosby, and Kessel all on the same team, which is just rediculous. I don't like Crosby much, meaning I don't really like his style of play, but I do respect him. He is an amazing talent that comes around maybe once every 10, 20, or maybe even more years. This kid as an 18 year old is already a top center in the league. I believe he has 97 points on the season with 2 games to go. I hope he gets 100 or more. Good for that talented guy. Just never forget, he was almost a Ranger! :p

I don't really follow hockey as much as I follow football, but I suppose you make some good points.

So I've been anticipating the new Tool record for a while now and I can't wait until May 2. I almost want to avoid hearing the single so the whole album is a surprise to me. Think I can do it?

I wish I did :(Try though mang.

No :p

Well, i was unsuccessful...Good luck to you though.

I think it's very possible for me to do. I never listen to radio, none of my friends are big Tool fans, and I generally avoid Limewire and other P2P things. I'm going for it.

See what got me was the fact that there were YSI links all over the place...every forum I went to..there it was..the link just calling out to me, "click me!" :p

Man... Is anyone else dissapointed with the new song?

Yeah. I'm not a huge Tool fan, but the song left me rather indifferent. Not bad, just didn't do anything for me.

I think the song is great, but there were a few spots that seemed like they were just trying to drag on for the sake of being long. Songs like Lateralus, and Reflection, are much longer, but it seems everything NEEDS to be there.

This new song would have been better if it was 5 minutes I think.
