I think 10,000 Days is my favorite Tool album. The Pot, Right in Two, and Jambi are all incredible tracks, but it's Vicarious that outs it all over the edge for me. Fantastic album.

10,000 days is great. Better than Aenima for me. The entire album has a nice flow, especially after Lost Keys. The weird volume swells in Intention at the beginning and end envoke an eerie feeling of uneasiness, that's what I enjoy about Tool.

I also believe people enjoy Lateralus a lot because it deals with communication and connection.

Aenima ( minus all the segues ) = 10,000 Days

Fourth - but Aenima has far too many stupid segues and 10,000 Days only really has Lost Keys and Viginti Tres.

If Aenima was just the 9 actual songs - it'd be much better imo.

Switch Aenima and 10,000 days and thats mine.

Buddyhunter1 · « **Reply #395 on:** October 16, 2012, 04:56:11 PM »

The segues in Aenima do get a bit annoying towards the end, but I wouldn't say they really hurt the album as a whole.
And Die Eier Von Satan is pretty much the best thing ever.

I actually really like Lost Keys.

Lateralus
Aenima
!O OOO Days
Salival
Opiate

Undertow

Aenima and 10 000 Days are kinda interchangeable, but i'll give the edge to Aenima or being more raw, more ground breaking, and for its higher highs. 10 000 Days still seems to me like a less perfect Lateralus. still damn good, though.
i liked Undertow when i was first getting into the band circa 1999, but i quickly started to 'hate' on it...kinda sounds like progressive grunge, and not in the deadly way like Amplifier's debut, for example...maybe it would win me over if i gave it another full spin (it's been forever), but i actually dont even keep it on my ipod.

Tool: The new Boston

Boston recorded five albums from 1976 to 2002. That's 26 years. Tool has recorded an EP and four studio albums since 1992 with the last coming out in 2006. That's five releases in fourteen years. So Tool has six more years to reach the five studio albums in 26 years mark.

Admittedly, five releases in 20 years isn't exactly what one would call productive, but it's still better than poor old Boston.

ALSO :

In case you missed Adam's recent twitter post, here's a production still from a new TOOL PROJECT that should be out in the Fall.

This turned out to be nothing. As Usual.

Going through my entire discography this year I just came across my Tool collection that I haven't listened to in a while. Brought back some great memories going through the music but if another Tool album were to never be released I don't think it'd bother me too much.

Rattlehead · « **Reply #406 on:** December 12, 2012, 08:39:48 AM »

Oddly enough, I've known about Tool for over 10 years and just last summer I decided to buy my first ever Tool album and actually give them more of a chance. Ended up buying both Lateralus and Aenima, and I was not disappointed to say the least. I must say I do enjoy Lateralus a lot more, not only because of quality but also because the segues on Aenema are kind of annoying. My favorite songs are Reflection and Lateralus, two songs that I had never heard until recently. I haven't heard any of their other stuff though, what would you guys recommend?

ReaperKK · « **Reply #407 on:** December 12, 2012, 08:43:50 AM »

I agree with you about the segues for Aenima, they seem to be forced.

If i were you I'd go with Undertow; 10,000 days comes off as Lateralus v1.5 There are some great tacks on there but there are some really forgettable tracks.

Undertow has a whole different vibe to Tool, to me it's a little more rough around the edges IMO but it's great.

seasonsinthesky · « **Reply #408 on:** December 12, 2012, 08:46:16 AM »

i'd recommend both 10,000 Days and Salival before you get into Undertow and Opiate. if you hadn't liked Lateralus so much (but who doesn't?), i would've said the opposite.

Rob · « **Reply #409 on:** December 12, 2012, 08:53:00 AM »

Absolutely love this band. I still can't believe that they're known for their big gaps between albums and this one is the biggest yet. Sometimes I get the feeling that they don't care very much for this band at all.

Zantera · « **Reply #410 on:** December 12, 2012, 08:54:57 AM »

10 000 Days is pretty sweet. It has some "meh"-songs, but the good songs on the album are really fuckin' good.

Ben_Jamin · « **Reply #411 on:** December 12, 2012, 11:04:12 AM »

10,000 Days is a great successor to Lateralus. Its like coming back to reality after a big self discovery. My least Favorite is Jambi and my most favorite is Intention, was so happy to hear it live.

Zantera · « **Reply #412 on:** December 12, 2012, 11:09:25 AM »

I really love Jambi. It has some of the grooviest riffs the band has done IMO, and I really like the experimentation with some sound effects. Some great vocal parts as well.

Lost Keys is a cool thing as well. All bass feedback.

Phoenix87x · « **Reply #416 on:** December 12, 2012, 12:46:15 PM »

I think Tool may be the only band where I like all their albums equally. Which one I listen to all comes down to mood.

Totally agree. When I first heard the segues for Aenima as a kid, I thought they were cool and different, but as time went by I realized that they were getting the way of me listening to the album. Since I removed them, I find myself listening to it way more often.

Jambi is probably a top 5 Tool song for me.

The riffs, the weird guitar bits in the middle and the vocal delivery is all just so perfect.
