I've changed my viewpoint on the album a bit. I now like it A LOT. I bought it yesterday so now I have the original of this great album. What I've realised:

1. The filler tracks are really nice this time. Previously they were unlistenable, but these ones, like Lost Keys and Lipan Conjuring are nice.

2. Rosetta Stoned, Intension and Right in Two are good songs. At first(a month and a half ago) I thought that the bottom half of the album was utter sh!te compared to the likes of 10 000days(wings pt2) and Jambi, but I was wrong. They are amazing. Although Rosetta Stoned has some reused riffs from Aenima, it's ok. It's a nice story and fun to listen to.

3. If you haven't bought the album yet or you aren't planning to, FUKING BUY IT NOW. The album packaging is just so cool. The stereoscopc lenses are really a wonderful thing with the artwork. even my mom likes it. It really is the best cd casing to date and for a good price considering the price for a normal cd case. So buy it.

There it is. This album is amazing.

I dislike both Viginti Tres, and Lipan Conjuring.

This is how I put it as well.

As per my argument above.

That's how I stand with Tool albums.

Chris Pennie, nice.

I still don't know where I rank the Tool albums... I know 10,000 Days easily beats Undertow and Opiate, but it gets hazy after that... but I think Lateralus is still number one.

New, off-topic revelation:

'My Name is Earl' is the best show on TV, second only to 'LOST.'

AC?
Sorry, this isn't exactly my business, but it had the same initials as my band, so I was really curious when I saw that :p

And to anyone in here that wanted a demo for Animal Cruelty, I couldn't send them out, because I'm a dick and I bought Mars Volta CDs instead, and kinda forgot about those demos.

:/

But here's a link to download the whole CD that we were gonna send out, and I'll definitely get the real CD to you eventually.

If you want, spread this link around, it can't hurt.

I was almost wondering about that. :p

Anyways, Here's how rank the songs of 10kd and how I rank Tool's albums

Rosetta Stoned
The Pot
Intension
Right in Two
Vicarious
Jambi
10,000 Days

F[SIZE="2"]u[/SIZE]ck you filler.

Here's my album ranking:

Lateralus
Ænima
10,000 Days
Undertow
Opiate

In my own opinion, before 10kd came out, there was a large gap in quality between Ænima and Undertow. Now, 10kd has seemingly bridged what was once a huge jump in quality with a bit of mediocrity by Tool's standards.

Everyone says 10k days is Lateralus part 2. I consider it to be Neo-Undertow.

My last post before I set off for Download, and lose my Toolginity

(and now Dredg and SYL dont clash anymore, I can see all the bands I wanted to :))

While I see none. I blow my nose at you. Brit.

And regarding 10kd being Lateralus pt. 2 or Neo-Undertow, I think that they're are flashes of all of their previous albums, which in turn creates a new sound. A sound that is overall less calculated and less refined than what I was hoping for their new sound to carry.

Damn me for having high expectations.

Now how surprised do you think I was when I a big package is on my doorstep when I get home from school today?

Couldn't believe my eyes when I saw tool on the blockmounted poster. Totaly fkn awesome. I shall post pics when I get access to a digital camera.

*Goes off still in an adrenalin high.*

EDIT:
oh and btw: I am Rustle Murton, the 5th one. :D

hey dudes & dudets who here is[b]nt[/b] a major fan of Vicarious, this song is plain awesome, the drum fills in it are fan'FRICKING'tastic! Danny kicks some real ***, so anyone else like it?

[QUOTE=Syncratic]Lateralus>Aenima>10,000 Days>Undertow>Opiate

Correcto :thumb: .

My order for 10K Days;

Wings pt1 and pt2
The Pot
Vicarious
Lost Keys and Roseta Stoned
Jambi
Right In Two
Intension
Lipan Conjuring
Virginti Trees

[QUOTE=Daven]What was the setlist?[/QUOTE]

If i remember correctly:
Lost Keys
Rosetta Stoned
Stinkfist
Forty Six & 2
Jambi
Schism
Right In Two
Sober
Lateralus
Vicarious
Ænema

They also played a variety of Intros and Interludes which really added to the atmosphere; one was an awesome drum interlude by Danny Carey which showed why he is one of the best drummers around.

I dont think i like that setlist very much.

[QUOTE=PeEpHoLe_10]I dont think i like that setlist very much.[/QUOTE]

There's nothing wrong with it, silly.

Aenima is so much better than 10kd and Lateralus...it's not even funny. Aenima was a brilliant cd and the other 2 were just very good. The only song that I absolutely love from 10kd is The Pot. Rosetta Stoned, Jambi, 10kd, and Vicarious are decent though.

IMO, I can't really choose between 10k Days and Ænima. Lateralus is definetly my favorite of them all, but for the 2 spot, I can't choose between those two.
