Jake, when did you start doing drugs? I bet it was during that long absence.

[QUOTE=Dr. Jake Destructo]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:[/QUOTE]

Vicks 44. It was an amazing experience.

Jake, drugs? Pah!

:p

I just picked up 10,000 Days today. I've already listened to the leaked album, but I like it. I still like Lateralus more, just because it has a "concept album" feel to it, and I like when all the songs seem to be related like that.

I really like this one too though. The album art is awesome as well.

[QUOTE=Moses]Jake, when did you start doing drugs? I bet it was during that long absence.[/QUOTE]

I smoked weed for the first time a year ago, and then I didn't do anything for like 6 months. Now I just expiriment with things. I don't do any drugs any closer than like 1 week intervals, so it's not like drugs took over my life and I defected away from mx or anything...

[QUOTE=deadinholywood]Ive cried over Tool, when i saw them live in Melbourne i was at the front near Adam and Maynard and the combination of the music (the [i]i embrace my desire to[/i] section of Lateralus) the visuals and the event itself which was too much for me emotionally.

Yeah im a bitch :upset:[/QUOTE]

Adam Jones admitted in an interview to crying while playing some of their songs.

I've cried during Wings twice, and Right in Two gave me an orgasm once.

Literally.

I like Tool better with headphones.

Now that I think about Tool would have been cool to listen to on my Acid trip.

Where'd you hear the word "hecka"?

[QUOTE=Kage]Where'd you hear the word "hecka"?[/QUOTE]
In a rap song.

"Hecka Checka Checka Hecka!"

Hm. Damn, I thought I invented that word.

I hope for the sake of humanity, that you're joking.....

That is how addictions start

I've cried during songs. I don't see what the problem is. Good music should tug at your emotions, be it sadness, anger, resolve, happiness.

The only song that I've cried while listening to is Vocari Dei by Pain Of Salvation

/listened to piano dude

You're really fast, but there is almost no melodic feel. Are you just trying to play fast for fun?

And All That Could Have Been by NIN has been known to make me cry too, im a wuss :upset:

[QUOTE=Diabolus in Musica]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.[/QUOTE]

The filler tracks on Ænima arguably don't contribute to the album as a whole. You have these proggy hard rock songs, and you're suddenly hearing some cheesy little keyboard thing, or a piano piece behind some guy talking, and how 30 seconds of static can be considered to be a song by [i]anyone[/i] is beyond my scope of reasoning.

I like the filler tracks on Ænima, but they don't contribute to the album musically, other than making it quirky, which is cool in itself, but dosn't make the tracks segues of any kind.

The intrumental parts on Lateralus could be more considered segues, because they carry the feel of the album.

I don't mind people using the term filler at all, so long as they can back up their reasononing. Some people consider bad/short songs filler tracks, and that sparks up a lot of debate with some bands. Random little tracks that take up time, and the album could arguably do without could quite easily be called filler.

that piano thing is actually the same notes as the intro to Jimmy...



those tracks are meant as segways. Normally they use that to "change the air" which works especially well if you are just letting the album play through, and even more interesting the first time through the album

Certainly is, but the filler tracks lose any sense of unity the album might have had. They make it lose flow.

Ænima is my favourite Tool album, regardless.

if anything, i feel they do quite the opposite. I only really listen to the new album from beginning to end now. Any old album, i pick and choose

[QUOTE=Che Guevara]if anything, i feel they do quite the opposite. I only really listen to the new album from beginning to end now. Any old album, i pick and choose[/QUOTE]

Wait... I was only talking about Ænima. The tracks on the new album are more segues than most Tool filler tracks, especially considering they do more to make themselves stand out as songs for the mostpart. I mean, Lost Keys is possibly the best segue they've done.

I think it's the other way round. The new album lacks the flow that Aenima and Lateralus have.

Eon blue apocolypse provides a great gateway between the heavy grudge, and the not so heavy patient...

Die eier von satan provides the perfect link between the very angry jimmy and the mellow push!t riff. Useful idiot breaks up the hard rock songs at the beginning of the album to stop it sounding monotonous and lets the listener reflect on the first few tracks while it builds into the 46&2 riff.

And ions, the best filler track imo. It's just soo tasteful. Bringing in the static, just building the tension into third eye which is just quirky really...

I think the tracks on Aenima were essential, if you listen to undertow it's all pretty non-stop. But that's ok, it's not as long as any of the latter albums. The latter albums have longer songs and it all gets pretty intense and the segues help the album flow.

That being said the new album the segues aren't as well done. Lost keys =>Rosetta stoned is nice. But lipan conjouring is really not. They should have probably added a segue in between Wings and the pot, then gone straight into lost keys after. And well vigniti tres is pretty boring apart from the one noticable part, which i now seem to forget. :-/

i would HARDLY consider Jimmy an angry song tbh...


as far as the new album lacking "flow", thats your opinion

I'm not going to lie...I was brought to tears [I](or at least watery eyes)[/I] whenever I have listened to the new album..

It has the same effect on me as Lateralus, yet this only happens whenever I'm reading something that really moves me [I](such as a spiritual revelation, psychological epiphany, or emotional understanding)[/I], or if I'm learning something that really hits to the core of me [I](e.i. spiritual knowledge, personal/world/universal knowledge)[/I]..

So, I'm connected to my emotional side when needed...so, sue me..

[QUOTE=Che Guevara]i would HARDLY consider Jimmy an angry song tbh...

It feels angry, not in the way that intolerance does. But the subject matter and the way the music moves around maynards quite quiet delivery just seems like built up anger. It gets released at the end 'i'm heading back hooome' then after the riff is repeated a few more times it drifts into die eier von satan.

Yeah most of the stuff i type is my opinion. I'm not trying to say what i say is gospel or anything. If you don't agree (which you obviously don't on the flow thing) that's fine :confused:

[QUOTE=infinate_ammo]That is how addictions start[/QUOTE]

Yep. Jake, did you know that 100% of teenagers who try drugs will die? I bet that makes you want to re-think your life right now, huh?
