Can someone hold my spot I've been here waiting for a really long time but man do I have to urinate something wicked.

Only 1 more year to go !! I predict the next album will have 6 songs on it.

Undertow - 10 songs
Aenima - 9 songs
Lateralus - 8 songs
10,000 Days - 7 songs

Next album = 6 songs . And will be out Summer 2012. A grand total of 1 year spent on every song .

The only way anyone can go to a Tool show is by spending a fuck ton of money and getting yelled at by an intoxicatated and/or inebriated asshole.

Fuck, I wish they would release a full length album comprised of 6 songs. Their longer songs are typically their finest. I hope to science that we get a cohesive album with an overall point of focus, rather than the 10kdays style of several different topics. (Not detracting anything from 10kdays, though, amazing album)

How much do tickets for TOOL normally cost? Assuming the seats are reasonable.

Metal · « **Reply #150 on:** September 24, 2011, 09:59:11 AM »

I paid like $150 for mine, but I was 3 rows back, dead center (it was badass). And I didn't get to buy them from ticketmaster, the damn scalpers ruin Tool's ticket prices. The band has spoke about the problem, but can't really do much about it.

Fuck ton = $276 per scalped ticket

Yeah that's a lot of cash, but Tool live is seriously the best show out there right now, IMO.
I've seen many bands live, and no one puts on a spectacle like Tool. Actually, the only other group I can think of that maybe came close was the LiTS era NIN.
That sucks that some of you seem to have had bad experiences at the shows with drunk people. I have never found that to be the case, but maybe I am just lucky and haven't been bothered by it.

lateralus88 · « **Reply #153 on:** September 24, 2011, 10:28:28 AM »

Oh this guy wasn't just drunk. He was HIGH AS SHIT. And was being a general asshole the entire show.

senecadawg2 · « **Reply #154 on:** September 24, 2011, 12:05:30 PM »

Wow, 276... That is quite a bit

Kotowboy · « **Reply #155 on:** September 24, 2011, 01:05:20 PM »

How does everyone say Aenima ?

I've heard from many people that they say "ON IMMA" ..

In that case, I can't wait for their hour-long epic 6 albums from now. That is, if I am still alive in 30 years.

To piss everyone off, and because I like the way it sounds, I just pronounce it as "Ay-en-imma".

Jesus! And I thought $90 for the Red Rocks show was a lot.

To be fair, Cynicalamity's mother paid for the tickets and we just paid her back (and I still am...) by doing a metric shit ton and a half of yard work. Including the day of the show.

It doesn't matter who paid, that's crazy!

lateralus88 · « **Reply #163 on:** September 25, 2011, 02:45:21 AM »

But whatever it was Tool. A borderline once in a life time show depending the circumstance.

TioJorge · « **Reply #164 on:** September 25, 2011, 03:23:07 AM »

It's gotten to the point where I've forgotten about how much I want a new album and I subconsciously am glad about this fact, then I come here and see this thread and I'm immediately sorry I entered the thread at all.

News or GTFO. Not really. ButsrslyAriGold.

Marvellous G · « **Reply #165 on:** September 25, 2011, 06:21:42 AM »

I'm kinda surprised at the feelings towards Aenima here, I'd say it's pretty much a perfect album, it's joint top with Lateralus for me. The actual songs on Aenima are all at least 9/10s for me (most being 10s) and the filler doesn't really drag it down imo.

Zantera · « **Reply #166 on:** September 25, 2011, 07:03:14 AM »

I really like Aenima, but it's all like a big blur for me.
Personally I think the 'style' or whatever that Tool had on that album, I feel like the vocals got pretty drowned in the mix, and that as a whole, it was pretty hard to distinguish certain sounds over each other, it all blended together very good.
Another thing, there aren't really any songs on Aenima that stands out to me.
Yeah, songs like Eulogy and the title-track are great, but all my favorite are placed on Lateralus or 10k Days.

Marvellous G · « **Reply #167 on:** September 25, 2011, 08:27:28 AM »

I guess that's a fair enough complaint, I love the style personally (it really suits the lyrics/artwork perfectly) but I can see it being annoying to some.

As for standout tracks, I would say that literally every non-filler song, except Hooker With a Penis, is standout material to me. Lateralus just edges Aenima as the better album overall, but Aenima has their best song-for-song offering imo. It's got Pushit!

Zantera · « **Reply #168 on:** September 25, 2011, 08:32:08 AM »

I don't quite remember, but doesn't Aenima have a couple more 'filler'-songs then Lateralus has?
I might be wrong, but I just remember thinking that "Die Eier Von Satan" was probably the most lol song I have ever heard.

ACID_FOX · « **Reply #169 on:** September 25, 2011, 08:37:16 AM »

My only complaint regarding Lateralus is that it stops being god tier amazing after the title track, regressing to just amazing.

Kotowboy · « **Reply #170 on:** September 26, 2011, 04:50:41 PM »

Or that they took 5 years to make a hugely inferior album.

ACID_FOX · « **Reply #171 on:** September 26, 2011, 06:13:03 PM »

I disagree, but whatever.

Metal · « **Reply #172 on:** September 26, 2011, 08:39:44 PM »

Wow, I also viewed Disposition/Reflection/Triad on the exact same tier as the rest of the disc. Such an epic way to close the epic album.

Reflection specifically is way up there for me in Tool's canon overall.

1neeto · « **Reply #173 on:** September 27, 2011, 12:53:21 AM »

Ahhh a TOOL thread! I really can't rate the albums because they're so unique in their own way. Especially on their early days of Opiate and Undertow. Not a single TOOL album sounds remotely similar to Opiate, it's a very raw sound but very unique in its very own way. I still enjoy Jerkoff as much now as I did back in the 90's. Undertow was their breakthrough album but the best songs are just about forgotten because of sober and prison sex. Swamp song is definitely my favorite track from that album. Ænima (so easy to find that æ character on my iPhone lol) was downright angry and intricate at the same time, it is to this day my personal favorite. Lateralus and 10k days were definitely their proggiest and well-produced. Lateralus and right in two respectively are my favorite songs from that album.

And now here's a few videos I took when I saw them live back in January (Honolulu, Hawaii). I wish I could if recorded the whole concert, but security was tight expelling people caught recording, and my phone didn't have enough space for the whole thing anyway. Oh yeah don't miss lateralus/Orion with Kirk Hammet on guitar. Enjoy!

Credulous at best, your desire to believe in angels in the hearts of men.
Pull your head on out your hippy haze and give a listen.
Shouldn't have to say it all again.
The universe is hostile. so Impersonal. devour to survive.
So it is. So it's always been.
