Parabol/Parabola...

Oh good God!

Fucking...Ahhhh!

Yes! Yes! Yes!

Crushing...

Pain is an illusion!



And end the punishing song with a spaghetti western cowboy chord!

 

[dudeman]

they were there two years ago

apparently it's depeche mode with tool

a right good lineup nontheless.

i'm gonna go listen to 'intolerance' really loud now. sweet

 

[MacPhistoPT]

They're coming to Portugal, 26th May

 

[Se7en]

cannot wait...

Just thought all you other Tool fans ought to know the new single, "Vicarious," is released to radio Monday.

Furthermore, I'm listening to it right now. A shade over seven minutes long, and I'm about two minutes into it. It's tasty

[bollox]

good, though sounds pretty much like anything else off the last two albums. the "political" lyrics are kinda lame, but no worse than tool's usual pseudo-intellectual wank i suppose.

 

[U2DMfan]

This is supposed to be Adam's album, pushed out front.
With Maynard taking more of a back seat.
A damn fine start. That time signature is crazy, the music superb.
Very reminscent (probably intentionally) of The Patient, seeing how this is the third and final installment of the trilogy, according to some of the fan boards there are hints of the last two albums throughout this one, musically tying then together.

I can't wait to hear Wings For Marie pts.1 and 2, it's supposed to be some incredible stuff.

 

[MacPhistoPT]

Good song, let's wait for the album.

Anyway, I'm seeing them with Alice in Chains, 26th May. What an awesone day it will be

 

[MrBrau1]

It's a wonderful thing when your expectations are met

 

[dudeman]

tool:
proudly putting the 'evil' in 'evil metal' since 1992!

 

[MacPhistoPT]

On the Coldplay board someone said something like this:

"with all those punk/emo/screamo/metal bands out there, Tool are one of the few bands who make me believe in rock and that there's still a reason to make music nowadays"

I couldn't agree more

 

[impy13]

In other Tool news, a very happy birthday to Maynard.

And on Radiohead boards it's getting slammed for not being "progressive" enough.

[MrBrau1]

It's leaked!

Downloading now!

Check the usual torrent sites.

It's a real fast download.

 

[MrBrau1]

Jambi!

 

[MrBrau1]

"10,000 Days (Wings Part 2)" is beautiful.

 

[MrBrau1]

"The Pot" will be a single.

 

[MrBrau1]

"Rosetta Stoned" is strange as fuck. And very, very heavy.

 

[impy13]

Thanks for the heads up, Brau. Downloading it right now.

I love you.

 

[impy13]

So I'm two tracks into it and how much ass does Jambi kick?





Lots.

 

[lmjhitman]

Lots.

and lots and lots.

 

[impy13]

Brau was not kidding at all. The tandem of "Wings" and "10,000 Days" is absolutely stunning. So beautiful.

 

[lmjhitman]

the thunder in 'wings part 2' is cool.

and 'rosetta stoned' is all over the place.

i'm on 'intension' right now.

 

[impy13]

I just finished Wings Part 2, on to The Pot.

I'm looking forward to Rosetta Stoned. Yall are making it sound pretty interesting.

tell us what you think!

i'm on 'right in two' - i like it.

*edited to add:

'viginti tres' is

 

[impy13]

I wasn't crazy about Rosetta Stoned. It's going to take a few listens for me to get a grasp of.

That's not true for the rest of the album. Rarely does a record completely astonish me after just one listen. This is one of those records. I think I'm in love, and I also think Wings/10,000 Days is going to make my last.fm explode over the next month or so.

 

[lmjhitman]

yeah, i'll have to see if 'rosetta stoned' grows on me.

i'm giving jambi and 10 000 days another listen before i turn in.

good times!

We are going to do whatever we can to make the Detroit show. Listening to "Vicariously" was a religious event at our house tonight.

I dragged my wife cross country for U2, and part of my leverage was that I promised we'd do the same for TOOL.

Praying for tickets.

Lovely that my first U2 show ever was 22 years ago at the same venue!
