Im going to see Tool in about an hour. I actually never heard an Isis song. Can someone descibe their sound to me?

Atmospheric & melodic.


Looks like I'm too late again... he's probably finding out now.

I know, I just thought what he said was funny.

Wasn't there a couple of you guys who wanted to do a vicarious cover a long time ago? and then a little less time ago, a The Pot cover?.. . .

Good luck with that Right In Two cover though :p

[QUOTE=omgwtfboogie;13398393]I think he made the lyrics fit the vocal inflections perfectly, personally.

Plus, "shades of cozened indigo" isn't a phrase you can pull out of your butt.

:P[/QUOTE]

Just to clarify a bit on this, I think that the tone and moreso the imagery I get with this line is completely ill fit for the rest of the song. Sure, it is a well written line, very poetic, (although I don't necesarilly get the metaphor..) it seems extremely out of place with the rest of the lyric's tone and imagery.

I never realized what it said, but I really like this last verse:

It's as if to say "Ganja? Please. This song isn't about drugs you morons." Nice touch Maynard.

does justin use a pick?

Yep.

ok good

Warum ist das gut!?!

I love Tool so much!! I was a little disappointed in 10,000 Days, though. I mean if they had 4 years to make an album, I was expecting it to be up there with Ænima, but I guess not...

Come on! It's not [I]that [/I]bad. Granted it's not as consistently good as Aenima, but it's pretty awesome.

Because if he didn't, he'd have to have some scary as hell finger nails to get that tone

:lol: True, true.

I like Justin's style, but sometimes it gets just a little bit too clangy.

I love his tone, naturally, especially on The Pot.

And I think 10kd has moved up to my 2nd favorite album behind Lateralus. Surprising.

I love 10,000 Days, because, while it is formulaic to Tool's style, they cop their own sound really really well on that album.

Jambi is probably the most boring Tool song to play on guitar, but it's one of my favorite songs on the album. How weird is that?

I love that song. Really intense, and the guitars sound awesome regardless of the content. Nice and thick.

Favorite Justin tracks:

Intension
The Patient
Disposition
Reflection (especially the first droning notes of this one)
The Pot
Jambi (This one's so good)

Basically when the bass first hits on all those songs, it's awesome.

Yeah, the 6/4 breakdown before the solo is soooo jarring. Love it.

I love the polyrhythmic drum part of Jambi (lol all)

Carey still blows me away.

The one near the beginning of the song that's something like a 9 to 6?

/knows nothing about drumming or poly's

I'm a tool-convert now! I love them and have bought 3 albums in 2 weeks. Obsession be thy name :lol:

I wasn't trying to say that it was bad. It just wasn't up to par with Lateralus and Aenima. I still like it, but after the general post-album hype, I was a bit disappointed, that's all

The album actually grew on me more when I got over the whole 'zomg new album' period. At first, I was comparing to their past works, nitpicking at all of the flaws and similarities with previous songs- Once I got over that, I realized how good it really was.

PS: Nice avatar. :p
