Who has heard TooL's "10,000 Days"? - Page 5

marleypumpkin · 04.29.2006, 12:16 AM

You'll be amazed krastian.

krastian · 04.29.2006, 12:32 AM

I'm pumped. There are so many albums I want coming out in the next month or so!

marleypumpkin · 04.29.2006, 12:44 AM

I know this is off topic, but I have been really impressed by
"A Thousand Leaves". I got it for my birthday, & I hadn't heard all of it until this week. But, I have been amazed at that album.
Oh, & "10,000 Days" as well.

krastian · 04.29.2006, 12:56 AM

Damn straight. A Thousand Leaves is some serious milk. A lot of people seem not to really like Kim's songs on there, but I love them. I hope I see Sunday on this tour.....I still haven't seen it live.

marleypumpkin · 04.29.2006, 01:08 AM

Yeah, I'm hoping to see some tracks off this album live. I can't think of one bad song on that album. "The Ineffable Me" I fucking love, "French Tickler", "Heather Angel", etc. & "Karen Koltrane" is absolutely magnificant. & so is "Snare, Girl". I just love this entire album. Oh, & I've heard "10,000 Days" about 10,000 times now, & I still love it.

krastian · 04.29.2006, 03:44 AM

I finally heard Vicarious. The end of that song is fucking awesome. YES!

luckynumber9 · 04.29.2006, 03:58 AM

Hey Marley, just wondering if you have the vinyl version of A Thousand Leaves. I recently bought a new copy and it has that hissing static-y sound whenever an 's' sound is pronounced in the lyrics. Does your copy do that too, or do you think maybe it's just that my phonograph needle needs cleaning? I haven't really had this problem with any other records recently.

marleypumpkin · 04.29.2006, 04:41 AM

-krastian-
Wait 'til you hear "Right In Two". that song makes "Vicarious" look like "A Pussies Song", as Kim might say.

-luckynumber9-
No, don't have the vinyl copy. My friend gave me a cd copy of the album.
But, I do know what you are describing about the hissing. I have a bunch of old Stevie Wonder LP's that do the same thing. So, it's most likely something other than the needle.

ozZuB-ginK · 05.02.2006, 11:58 AM

i just picked up the album today. The packaging is great! it comes with these little lens you look through and it makes all the artwork 3-D. Going through my 1st listen to the record right now, sounding good. Anyone else BUY it today?

Everyneurotic · 05.02.2006, 12:05 PM

i already burnt the money on the sy ep reissue, i need to pay my new mono album this week also. and if by any chances i have money, i already spotted a couple of albums on the clearance bin of a record store.

so i guess the new tool will have to wait

I bought it today. Their best packaging to date. Great username by the way.

Mine is in the mail as we speak.

terminal pharmacy · 05.02.2006, 04:47 PM

wings part 1 and 2 are awesome, and vicarious rocks

trainyard bliss · 05.02.2006, 11:53 PM

i bought it today. i've only heard it once, so i'm intentionally not forming any specific opinions . . . but i definitely liked it.

i realized lately that tool probably has the most consistent reputation as far as how i judge bands that i've listened to. i started getting into music heavily in the 9th grade, and i bought lateralus and aenima sometime in the last third of the year. i've always liked them, and they steadily grew on me. they became my favorite band after 10th grade. since then, i like them basically as much as before, but i've found bands i like more. now, they're near the edge of the ring of favorites below sonic youth and the flaming lips.

i don't think i'll ever really think less of them though. when a band is truly distinctive, and truly excellent at being distinctive, they tend to have lasting impact.

Patrique · 05.03.2006, 02:49 PM

I've had this for about a week and I'm buying the retail today- first few impressions are that I like it better than Lateralus, at least musically (a lot of Lateralus's lyrics are untouchable to me) and it's just a shade below Aenima. Wings to Marie (part 2) and Right in Two have to be my favorite tracks; Right in Two is definitely one of the band's best ever. The riffs on "Rosetta Stoned" are unbelievable and I love the long intro with the two interludes. For everyone who was underwhelmed by the leak, I suggest another listen; it's an album that grows on you.

And as far as A Thousand Leaves goes, funny you should mention that as I've been listening to it a lot lately. I like most of Kim's tracks, at least musically; some of the lyrics are...ummm..."He's just a kitten!". Sure. The only one I really actively dislike is "The Ineffable Me", although "Heather Angel" would be much better without the pointless break they throw in. I don't think it's really a case of Kim's tracks being bad as they are just not as good- and very stylistically different- from the rest of the album.

marleypumpkin · 05.11.2006, 03:33 AM

Give props to Adam Jones & Alex Grey for another fantastic world of art to explore while listening to an album. They have definetly set the standard for artwork & packaging for a record. I've already given my personal rating of this album, so I'll just reitterate that my favorite track has to be "Right In Two".
That, & "The Pot"

krastian · 05.14.2006, 06:23 PM

I can't stop listening to this album.

marleypumpkin · 05.14.2006, 08:27 PM

You can't eat just 1!

GeneticKiss · 05.21.2006, 11:22 PM

Okay, I got the album for my birthday and spun it tonight...

And of course, I was not disappointed. My current nominee for Album Of The Year...of course, Rather Ripped hasn't come out yet.

Eyeball Growth, you must have no sense of what's heavy and what ain't if you think it's all straight metal..."Wings For Marie" isn't, neither is "Lipan Conjuring" or "Viginti Tres" (although it is kinda pointless for the most part)...

I wonder what they're gonna pick as the next single? Probably "The Pot", since it's the only song besides "Vicarious" that's relatively compact and straightforward.

I loved the dialogue-style vocals on "Lost Keys (Blame Hoffman)", and "Right In Two" is definitely Tool's best song since "Aenema", with it's cool percussion and electronics, and that little guitar hook that pops up...

youthoftomorrow · 05.22.2006, 12:07 AM

a friend of mine gave me a burnt copy of 10,000 Days (and Undertow). i love "Vicarious" and "Jambi".

i've never really been a big Tool fan, and i wasn't expecting to like this much, but i fucking love it.

my painting teacher bought it just for the artwork.
