oh, i feel more of a pink floyd influence on 10,000days  than on any other of there albums.


if u listen closely u can hear a british man talking in the background of one of the songs, i forget which one ( not the doctor in lost keys )


but the british man speaking sounds like the exact same dude who speaks in the background of darkside of the moon

paul mcaurtney is one of those guys.  they brought in several 'big' or just interesting men and asked them questions like...    "have you ever hit a person?" , "what state of mind were you in when you hit the person?" "would you do it again?"  and so on.   and yes 10000 days reminds me alot of the floyd in many parts , some samples and keyboard parts remind me of echoes or shine on you crazy diamond

Well Zaz I've got to give props for the Mastodon, Oceansize and Thrice aspect of your list!

Anyway guess if you dont like Maynards voice then that's kinda it, although for years my mate hated Deftones mainly because of Chino's voice, now he loves them! Of course with both, the voice is the main driving point of the machine, if you know what I mean!

Yeah I get you, perhaps Tool will click for me one day, but I honestly don't see it happening.

assassin likes it HARD!

Hahaha, oh the connotations.

[fightclubche]

Wow, sucks for whoever bought tickets.  11 songs for an entire show.  HAHAHAHAHA you all got ripped off that got tickets.

[ToneDef]

Well, pay a lot to see a great band. Pay a little to see Umphrey's Mcgee.

[fightclubche]

The greatest band ever never charged this much and they would play at least 2 sets and over 3 hours of music.  Jerry>adam  the dead>tool

[ToneDef]

Ha!

So what's the deal anyway? Am I assuming they're only playing 11 songs in their current set? Don't forget their songs are pretty fucking long.

[Chrisbo]

As long as when I see them they play for longer than an hour and a half (which I'm sure they will), then I'm happy! As for the setlist, there's no way I'm going to be disappointed, there isnt one "proper" Tool song that I dislike! Of course there's the favourites such as H and The Patient and that, but I'm not going to be like "Man, so fucking disappointed" if they dont play them!

And yeah, apparently the Glasgow tickets have been printed now but they cant distribute them because on the back they have NME printed on them (which is the same as the Anthrax and Deftones tickets, and they have nothing to do with NME).

[Fireal1222]

if i were going to a tool show. id want them to play 10,000 days, from beginning to end




anyway. im calling you out firefly, and anybody else who isnt amazed by this album


its everything i could have possibly hoped for, and i dont understand how it didnt blow me away on first listen



the 1st two tracks are getting you into the album because it has a lateralus like feel. especially the guitar solos


then tool take a totally different direction from song 3 to the end



my favorites are:

jambi
10,000 days
the pot ( i hated this song when i first heard it )
lost keys (blame hofmann)
right in two


the album is very complete, and flows together well. the artwork is absolutely mind boggling, and i really love the basslines on the album

the guitar solo at the end of jambi scrambles my brain everytime

firefly was right when he says that this albums has many predictable parts. but it still sounds great




theres a part in the song, the pot, about midway through, when the bassline kicks in even stronger, and you begin to feel the song paint a picture


everytime i close my eyes and hear this album with headphones, i picture the native american from the photos inside the album, and on the cover

[Paint Your Lips]

I hear ya, Jarad. And i too hated The Pot the first listen.

The album is kickass, no doubt. And the whole atmosphere and soundscape of 10.000 Days and Wings for Marie is amazing. I love to dive into it.

And of course when you hear Lipan Conjuring you can't help thinking of native indians. And Lost Keys is just killer when you're stoned.

I'll give it a 9/10 for sure.

Fave tracks.
Vicarious
Jambi
10.000 Days
Rosetta Stoned
Right in Two

But, in its entirety, all tracks are equally great.

[Lapsang Souchong]

its dead its dead the sound gone red behead whats said when we're fed to the head...

[Necrocetaceanbeastiality]

What's said? I'll tell you what's said. "Oh god! I'm dead!"

[Lapsang Souchong]

it sped through your head and now its dead. dot dot dot.... cant you see whats come to me in terms of three what can it be? rhetorical rhetorical rhetorical.... a submarine of flavor is torpedo'd. millions come to the shore to collect bubbles of death. what comes to some as non sequitur may have more meaning than one might think...

[Necrocetaceanbeastiality]

I got nothin'.
