What do you think that means?

It is my understanding that the lead singers mother died after struggling with complications from a stroke for 27 years (10000 days). She was a catholic and believed she would go to heaven. The song, and that line in particular, says that shes going home, to heaven.

Anyway... Does anyone know how to play The Patient? I know its on the last album, but I love that song. And the riff at the beginning is so sweet the way it rolls out as you play it... then I hum to the other part at the beginning... oh and the drum work...oh oh oh!! so good!

However, the first SINGLE from the album debuted yesterday.

Maybe in your world. For some of us, it came out two days before this thread was posted.

10000/365 = 27.4

I already posted but it deserves another mention. This album is absolutely fscking amazing! I'd even be so bold as to say it's their best, despite their other albums & EP all being masterpieces. I can't wait to have it in flac.

But like all of their albums, they have a lot of fillers. I think Lateralus was better, still, but it's great.

I agree with you: Lateralus was the pinnacle. It was Extremely detailed and artistic. As an overall album, it was as if it was divisions of songs within one overall song. It covered a lot of very different subjects that you dont usually here in mainstream music. It is just such a unique and beautiful album - Perfect balance of full music structure with abstract noise tracks fx.

Songs that seemed to be amazingly constructed: The Grudge, The Patient, Schism, Parabol, Parabola, Ticks & Leeches, Lateralus, Disposition, and Reflection. These songs have such variety among their parts, so multi-faceted, and very fun to explore for new things as you listen. It's an album that you know took years of effort and hard work, and it deserves to be listened to carefully and studied over time.

You could say this about any Tool album. Lateralus though was a break from the hard, driving rhythms that have defined the band while 10,000 Days is a glorious return to them, this is probably why Lateralus is my least favorite of their works. It's still a great CD of course, and far better than most of the crap coming out these days.

I dont know.... but it seems that in this new album, Marnary really brings the Aperfectcircle sound into the mix - he even sings the "haaaaaylooooo" bit!

I personally think that they should keep their sound like in Lateralus.

Uh, Maynard?

As far as sound goes, Tool not changing their sound would scare me more than anything. Every album is distinctly different. Opiate (the track) is one of my top tool songs. Not because its an amazing track, it is, but just listening to it, you can tell that at point they just had to make it big. A little foreshadowing into their future.
