It doesn't do it justice to see the artwork without the lenses they provide. I mean its cool artwork either way, but way cool to see everything pop out 3D

I felt it was kind of generic. I've only heard it once, but nothing really stuck out the way the tracks on Aenima did.

it's going to take time to absorb the whole album. Was disappointed that Adam Jones still does not solo or has very weak solos.

solos aren't in his nature, and I've come to terms that drop D is just... their sound. I was hoping for some new keys on this album, but oh well.
ALTHOUGH there's a kickass talkbox solo in Jambi.

That's what I was tryin to say,man. The rhythm is awesome, but then Adam will play a generic ass,simple lead that would sound like crap if it was played clean without the timbre of the tone he uses.
I think Maynard and Danny need to leave (or kick Adam and other guy out) and get a kickass guitar/bass combo. That would be the sweetest band of all time.

I love their new album. It keeps gettin' better and better with each listen.
"I think Maynard and Danny need to leave (or kick Adam and other guy out) and get a kickass guitar/bass combo. That would be the sweetest band of all time. "
Hell no! Maynard is one of the best singers alive imo. And why should Danny leave? The guy is just too good (I'm a drummer so I should know). And there's no one who could play like Adam does with Tool. Just my 2 cents.

He means that he thinks Maynard and Danny are the only good ones in the band. They are obviously happy with what they have and the sound they are producing. IT IS TOOL. Change it and it wouldn't be.

I think Tool should bring another guitarist to handle the lead. Billy Howerdel from APC would be a good fit. Make a new band and call it A Perfect Tool. lol!

Technical proficiency related to speed and precision (i.e. soloing or sometimes considered "showing-off") is on its way out. The future is tone, rhythm, and creativity.

I saw TOOL last week on Syrian Rue and Shrooms, and it BLEW MY MIND AWAY!
To be honest, the set scared the SHIT out of me... I thought my Soul was going to be annihilated by the vibrations.
I forgot how sensitive the Rue+Shroom combo is to sound... Level 4 at 150dB, at least.
I had to take a wiz super bad so I ran to the bathroom and Les Claypool was standing in the lobby. I was obviously tripping balls and he just smiled at me, it was an awesome moment.
After they played "Wings" I got a little over-excited and yelled "You guys ROCK!!!!" right when everyone became silent. I don't know why I screamed it, I was tripping SO hard, some people laughed and I felt like an idiot. TOOL didn't need me to tell them they rock...
After the next song, Maynard looked at me and said "No, Seriously, Thank you. Thank YOU."
I'm not even going to try to describe the experience, I'm still trying to put it back together. but it shocked me to my core, and transformed my persona, a little more...
10,000 days is the approximate cycle of Saturn.
Study the Saturn astro-archetype to better understand the album, and the live set.
Saturn is FIERCE, hard-core, wicked-smart, mad-talented, and shows no mercy in getting the dirty job done.
Life's short, dose heroic.

No dude. I was saying Maynard and Danny kick ass but the other two guys are pretty mediocre. I'm a guitar solo whore, so that might be something to do with it. Adam's licks just seem like backround to the percussion and don't really go anywhere to me. They have the rhythm and timber (tone) down, but they need more melody or something.

I was really just thinking out loud. I agree with you essentially...why screw with a good thing? Sometimes I just think a really good band could have been like the best band ever or something though in Tool's case.
I dunno. I'm not really big on metal or "classical" guitar style. I'm a blues man with improv and soloing in his bones,and it just doesn't sound right to me. Maybe I shouldn't be comparing Tool to the shit I listen to though...
