It would be hilarious if that picture was taken during the recording of 10,000 Days.

You know, looking at the pic, that could definitely be a possibility.

Relax people, no news.

I'm listening to Aenima for the first time in years and years. This album is nowhere near as good as I remember. Stinkfist, Pushit, Aenema, and Third Eye are great, and I'll give 46 & 2 a pass. The rest is somewhere between average and crap.

Actually, Eulogy was the biggest surprise to me. It starts really strong, but gets lost and falls to bits after "don't you fucking lie", like they didn't know how to finish it well.

H is pretty ho-hum.

Euology is pretty boring. Easily my least favorite of the actual songs on Aenima. It's still my favorite Tool album though. Almost every song is great and it has Tool's best material by far I think. Only flaw are all the interlude things. They don't really add anything to the album for me.

I think Aenima may have surpassed Lateralus as my favorite Tool album. I don't listen to the band much these days, but when I feel like I'm in the mood for them, I usually listen to Aenima. It's probably the darker atmosphere that makes me enjoy it a bit more.

I made a playlist with just the 9 "songs" and the album flows way better way better without all that bullshit.

same (except i threw in the NQ cover because it's amazing and was recorded then – funny how it adds up to the exact length of all the segues put together...). then again, the final tracklist certainly leaves an impression, and some charm is lost.

also, if you want "H." without "Useful Idiot" fading in, it's on the radio ready promo sampler (with the censored "Eulogy" and other songs).

I probably wouldn't believe a new Tool album was possible even if I held it in my own hands. Not even if I listened to it. I would still go: "This must be a really good copy-cat band" rather than "Oh crap, this actually is a new Tool album".

I predicted a long time ago that a new Tool album would be like a new My Bloody Valentine album. One of those myths that was talked about for 15-20 years, with comments like "yes its coming" and no action. The MBV album actually dropped after 22 years, so who knows.. maybe Tool will surpass that.

This album has basically become The Chinese Democracy Pt 2. I totally wouldn't be surprised if we don't hear anything for years still.

I also think the fact that they blame the slow process on the law suits is ridiculous. There are a lot of bands who have fought many problems and still put out albums. If you want to put out an album, you put out an album. It feels like the members of Tool are just way too comfortable with their legacy and current status. There are some artists like Steven Wilson, who puts out music frequently, not just through his main projects (PT, solo) but also a number of side projects (Blackfield, No-Man, Bass Communion, IEM, Storm Corrosion), and even though quality of music is always subjective, you can just tell that he has a lot of great ideas, and he puts them into motion. He never struggles with material, and an amazing album like Fear of a Blank Planet resulted in an equally amazing EP like Nil Recurring, with leftover material from that album.

Tool to me are kinda like the polar opposite. I've always felt like Tool are just barely scraping by to get enough good material together, and I think it really showed on 10 000 Days. That album was a mixed bag of the amazing quality we expect from Tool, with some material that just wasn't up to the standard we want. I think they did a good job of masking it earlier. Albums like Aenima and Lateralus are pretty much perfect, and as long as we get near flawless albums after 5 year breaks, it's easy to ignore that. On 10k Days it kinda showed that they were struggling more IMO, and apart from the long time spans between albums, the band hasn't really put out EPs or other leftover material. To me it basically feels like Tool have to work so much harder than most bands to come up with good material. What they squeeze out in 6 years is equal to what SW squeezes out in 6 months. But as long as their next album is really good, it won't matter.

No band dealt with more legal stuff in recent years than Queensryche, and both versions of Queensryche had managed to release albums during the lawsuits.  The decade-long gap between Tool albums is just odd to me.  Five years should be more than enough!

Apparently the lawsuits had dated back to 2007 and they'd only been solved This January.

And they hindered the band so much they only got 3 songs written in 8 years ?

Yeah whatever.

I think it could have more to do with a quote I read from Danny or Justin about writing with Adam.

He said Adam likes to explore every single possible arrangement an idea could possibly have.

They said this method of working was painfully slow and frustrating and nobody likes writing with Adam.

 :laugh: I can't prove this though and *of course* he could have been half joking. but I did read it a few years ago.

Quote
TOOL NEWSLETTER  FEBRUARY 2015 E.V.
This month we learned that the members of Tool crossed paths with the members of Motorhead in a recording studio in L.A., and that Danny (along with Brent Hinds) is part of a new band called "Legend of the Seagullmen." With splash headlines like "Members Of Tool And Mastodon Join Forces To Create "Supergroup"... and "Motorhead's Mikkey Dee Confirms Tool Are In The Studio" appearing on many of the on-line metal magazine sites, it's perhaps understandable as to why many anxious fans jumped to certain conclusions. In the event that I failed to clear things up in a recent news post, for those who might still be excited or confused (or angry), let me try again to set things straight (without the multiple choices)...

As for the nautical-themed "Seagullmen", this Danny SIDE project has been in the works for quite some time (well over a year), and takes approximately ZERO time and energy from his focus on the next Tool record. With regards to the chance meeting between members of Tool and their friends in Motorhead in the same recording facility - this had absolutely nothing to do with the preparation, recording, mixing or mastering! of a new Tool album. Instead, it concerned another Tool project that has been in the works for a while. In fact, when I first heard about this project (way back when), I mentioned it in a news post as being a "curve ball" - meaning that it would be something unexpected by most Tool fans (as it was to me). Since then, some fans have guessed what this is, while others remain clueless, with many others believing that there really never was any such idiom to begin with. Well, with the chance meeting of Tool and Motorhead in the studio, along with Adam's reply to Mikkey Dee's question as to what Tool was doing there, we now have confirmation of this (figuratively speaking) "curve ball." (In keeping with the baseball vernacular, as I suggested before, "Change of Pace" might also work).

Which takes us to the big question: What's going on with the new Tool record? As I have said repeatedly, the band is currently in the writing/arranging process. Based on things that I've heard, I would hazard a guess that SEVERAL songs are now developed enough to have vocals added. At least one of these songs is quite lengthy, and took a very long time to finish. In theory, the others should go faster, but who knows what obstacles might await? Obviously there is still a lot of work to be done. Accordingly, you will be updated on any major progress and NOT hear about the band tracking the next record by some chance meeting in a recording studio.

Now that these other things have (hopefully) been put to rest, let's see about any current news. The first item would be that the members of the band will be taking a break from their writing/arranging sessions next week WHILE Aaron Harris ("ISIS", PALMS") sets up an area in the Loft for Maynard to be able to work on vocal melodies as the others play (loudly) their completed tunes. In that there is a lot of equipment to be moved and reorganized, it will take at least a few days to set up Maynard's 'station' in the adjoining room. Admittedly, this is exciting news, but let's not jump to any hasty conclusions...

Finally, before leaving the "City of Angeles" for a few days, Danny will be getting together (again) with Neil Peart, Stewart Copeland and others TONIGHT - so be on the lookout for another youtube clip of these friends jamming and having a downright good time! Hopefully, Danny saved some energy after last night's Kings/Redwings hockey game, not to mention the recent Lakers/Celtics match up at Staples...

Oh, I almost forgot. For those non-Thelemites out there who asked why the recent limited edition TOOL BLANKET (SOLD OUT) was priced at $156.00, the answer is that 156 = BABALON, the Sacred Whore and companion of the Great Beast 666 (To Mega Therion). So, there you go...
HAPPY TRAILS
