I agree with the Jimmy part.

No real weak points on Aenima, but it's also just not as interesting to me as Lateralus.

Yup yup.

[QUOTE=JamJar]Stinkfist and Jimmy are my two least favourites on the album, they just don't stand out as much as the more proggy longer pieces.[/QUOTE]

Jimmy is one of my favorites. For some reason that song just hits the spot for me.

I agree with Lateralus being more interesting, though. It's the best album I've ever heard. :D

You don't see the excessive amount of filler tracks as a weak point? Aenima has some great songs on it, but too much crap imo.

Hey everyone, new here, but whatever :wave:
Anyways i love the new album, but i guess im just lucky becasue this is basicly what i sift threw tool to find in most albums, and yesterday i was thinking about rosetta stoned. Thinking maybe the parts from old songs( Reflection, Third eye are what i heard) came up for a reason? relfection and third eye both have ( or seems) a connection to alternate consciences, and so does rosettas stoned (if you look at it like i do :p ) and i was thinking maybe maynard had a great idea, but forgot it afterwards. or does that make no sence at all? :lol:

I enjoy some of the fillers, especially Die Eier Von Satan and Intermission. Not to mention that they're easily skippable if you really hate them that much.

Lateralus was incredible on DXM.

Why bother skipping them? They take like a minute. And Die Eier Von Satan isn't really filler, you know.

I like Stinkfist quite a lot on that album. Second only to AEnima, I think.

[QUOTE=Lunch]I just picked up Ænima, I have very high expectations.[/QUOTE]

Great album. My second favourite.

Go look up his Wikipedia article then.

I don't know, I wasn't the one complaining about them :|

Yeah, I was just replying to you because your post was closer to my cursor. :p

What am I meant to be looking for exactly?

Everyone read all this. It's REALLY interesting.

Can you post whats interesting? I'm not registered.

I'd say the opposite, personally.

Though I love both albums.

Also, jimmy is the worst song on Ænima for me.

It's really bloody long (15 or so pages on a Word document), he made it into 10+ posts. It's really indepth.

Also, I noticed that in some songs (10,000 Days, The Pot) hugely significant changes happen at the exact half way point. Wonder what it all means. I've checked Rosetta, and nothing significant happens at the half way point, and i've not checked the others.

I seriously recommend all to read that text document.

I honestly hate the term "filler". Whose to say they are filler songs but the artists themselves.

Useful idiot, Intermission and Message are clearly filler on Ænima. Satan is debatable.

I can say this because they're not songs.

As for the article.. started reading the first few pages, and got a bit bored because he's not saying anything we don't already know or I havn't thought before reading it.

You should read further. The thing about duality really interests me with this album.

Explain to me how they are not songs.

:lol:

I'm sure he doens't mean in the literal sense. He means songs like The Patient, and The Grudge are songs, where as Mantra, and Eon Blue Apocalypse are 'fillers' of a sort.

What a load of crap. This guy has way too much time on his hands. Its just music ffs.

I view them as interludes of the Album. Which contributes to the Album as whole. That why I hate when people use that term for songs that are not necessarily the main songs.

Yeah, I dislike the word aswell, but it's the best way to describe it to, and for some people.

Incubliss, thanks for posting that link here. That was really an amazing interpretation. It was incredibly interesting, he made some very valid points that I agree with wholeheartedly. I had always thought that there might have been a reason for some recurring riffs in songs but simply thrown it out as overanalyzing...but paraflux really ties it in very well.

[QUOTE=deadohiosky9]Lateralus was incredible on DXM.[/QUOTE]

Wahah, dancing is great on DXM too, man.

syrup or pills?

Anyways, I let my dad hear some of Lateralus right after he heard some of my stuff in GP4, he says I take lots of influence from them.

Go figure. :rolleyes:

I don't think I've ever listened to Tool on DXM, but I've listened to Lateralus on shrooms on two different occasions, it blew my mind both times. If you haven't done shrooms then you won't understand but the amount of dynamics on Lateralus really affects you if your tripping hard.

On a seperate note, you should try listening to stuff like Infected Mushrooms, Astral Projection, and Shpongle on DXM, in my opinion trance is the best music for DXM. Its good for E too.

E=x?

[QUOTE=Dr. Jake Destructo]E=x?[/QUOTE]

E= Ecstacy

That's what I thought. It's one of the drugs on my to do list.

1) Shrooms + Tool
2) X + night clubbing
