Comment by DetoxScission 2 years ago Tool - 10,000 Days 2006DetoxScission has listened to this a couple of times. It has some great moments, but it has a tendency to get a little dry when going all the way through the disc. Tool - 10,000 Days 2006Kestrel has listened to this a couple of times. I admit... I'm not a Tool fan. However, I figured I would give
this album a shot and some of the songs did impress me.
Vicarious, Jambi, 10,000 Days, The Pot and Right in Two are
pretty good songs. Some of the songs are just plain boring and
aren't worth listening to: Wings for Marie and Intension. They
make me like this album a lot less. The rest of the tracks
(Lipan Conjuring, Lost Keys and Viginti Tres) aren't really
spectacular but serve their purpose and also aren't significant
enough to really affect the rating I'm ending up giving the
album. So all in all, a decent effort but nothing spectacular.
If you're a fan of lyrics though, check this album out. I'm
going to give their other albums a shot as well, perhaps I'll
like them... Tool - 10,000 Days 2006Mike has listened to this several times. Excellent Atmospheric Prog AS Metal! Artistic, Concept, Creative, Emotional, Experimental, Heavy, Modern, Post, Quirky, Spacey, Technical, Aggressive, Dark, Guitar, Vocals I love it! To me it seems like a good successor of Lateralus -
some tracks are as ambitioned and abstract, others are less
tense and and even a bit mellow, reminding of Aenima. I really
like the epic of the album - tracks #3 and #4. They're really
gloomy and sort of depressing - Maynard never explains the
lyrics, but I'm sure they are mostly about his mother, but
might also include other topics.
I think that I'll prefer this to Lateralus in the long run -
somehow 10,000 Days feels more balanced to me,
but it's really too early for a final verdict. Tool - Lateralus 2001Mike has listened to this a couple of times. Magnificent Avant-Garde Prog AS Metal! Alternative, Artistic, Creative, Dynamic, Experimental, Heavy, Minimalistic, Modern, Post, Virtuosic, Aggressive, Dark, Bass, Guitar, Male-Atonal-Screaming, Male-Clean-Vocals magnificent Musicianship and Production This is a real masterpiece of prog metal ... a genre defining
album. I won't go into too much detail in this review, maybe
I'll expand it later on. The foremost quality of this album is
its unbelievably focused and determined approach - Tool are a
quite popular band, but they make absolutely no compromises
here. Every little bit is carefully arranged, and the subtle
mathematic implications of the rhythmic changes are stunning
and never seem uncalled for or out of place. The result is a
complex work of art, which is up there with albums like
Larks Tongues or A Pleasant Shade of Gray.
This is an absolutely essential album in every prog
collection ... even if you don't like prog metal, you should at
least have heard this album. |
