i think this will take a few listens to get used to.

Not too impressed with the album other than Vicarious. 7 songs left to go, though.

 

[Platypus]

Some delicious riffs intermixed in between some really droned out passages and absolutely 0 maynard 'belted out' lyrics

Seems like a good relax album, def not the heavy record I wanted. There are moments where it's insanely heavy but other than that... :\

The heavy is what I wanted, too.

disappointed...

 

[D1gger]

I just heard the single on the radio. It stinks.

 

[JohnCU]

Vicarious is awesome, the rest of the album is not.

Seeing Tool live for their Lateralus tour was one of the greatest things I've ever done. Assuredly holding a ranking in my top 3 concerts experiences, second only to Phish.

I saw that one too. I really hate ticketmaster though, and I know I have no chance of getting in on this

How was it? I always hear things about it like it was so insane and artistic and stuff...ive seen pictures, and they imply something very unique.

 

[Platypus]

I saw them 4 times on the Lateralus tour and felt like each one was as unique and amazing as the last. A truly must-see live performance. I've seen some pretty big acts and they rival even my favorite concert experiences.

It certainly is growing on me.. still not what I was hoping for but I really love certain passages so far. Rosetta Stoned is my favorite piece so far with Jambi, The Pot, and Right In Two not far behind.

 

[Kev]

so far Rosetta Stoned is my favorite. It took me 3 listens to really get into lateralus, so I expect the same here.

btw - vigniti tres could have been shortened by like 3 minutes....

 

[JohnCU]

too many songs with random sounds.

 

[imported_bum]

Damn. I hope it's really not as disappointing as some have said. I was pumped for release after Vicarious. Downloading now.

Urghhh, why did I have to see this thread before going to bed. Now I'm gonna stay up and listen, who knows how long that will take.

edit: I'm going through my second listen now. Right now, I'm kinda split. I love the sound of the new songs but I still feel like there is something missing. The vocals seemed somewhat... toned down? Not as strong. The songs also don't have as much of the heavy/hard feeling I liked from previous work. Oh well, I'm still getting used to it. My opinion will probably change after a couple listens. Oh, and I might or might not have pm'ed a couple people .

Same here. It's 2am, and I have a final in the morning, but I'm staying up anyway

this thing needs to finish, not...going...fast...enough!

 

[BudAshes]

It doesnt seem to have quite the perfection lateralus did though. Its almost like maynard's singing is stuck in APC style voice.

I noticed that on vicarious, he's singing APC style, but the song is still Tool. Either way I dont care, I like APC as well.

EDIT: found it US $55.76 man i have to sell crack to see them again

 

[davestar]
