Hope this isn't a repeat thread... I didn't search it. (to all of you repeat nazis..lol)
I am excited as fudge to get my hands on this album. I have been a Tool fan since Opiate was released... on through the sonic soundscapes of Lateralus. There are few bands left from that era of rock and roll that continue to progress and try new things without losing what made them so great to begin with. Tool is one of those bands. It seems like "10,000 Days" since "Lateralus" was released... here's to rolling a big fatty and sitting in a room by yourself and soaking in some (what should be) incredible music.

What does excite me are the rumors my drummer relays to me about Opeth and Tool doing a tour together later this year. I don't know whether there's any truth to it, but it's nice to contemplate

| | growin' a beard | | Join Date: Jan 2006 Location: Lexington, Kentucky | | Is there a stigma with Tool for some people? I understand that a lot of the fans that come to shows and buy their albums are kids and "goth"... which is annoying in its own way (because their music doesn't reflect that culture). I can't stand when people boo the opening acts either... ignorant IMO. The ever-changing release dates are annoying as well, I agree. BUT, all of that aside, this is one of the best bands around right now hands down. I can understand if you don't like them. But to not be somewhat excited when you do like them is clearly unacceptable and I am greatly disappointed! 
Sorry your not stoked.

| | Registered User | | Join Date: Jun 2002 Location: Edinboro, PA | | | The Opeth comment was aimed at the "Fratboy meathead" Tool fans. Not all Tool fans fit that stereotype, but when I saw Tool live, I felt like I was in a frathouse. All backwards hats, all groping women who were crowd surfing. I felt like I was waiting in line to do keg stands. But all I know is, Tool fans BOOed KING CRIMSON. One of the greatest bands of all time. I've seen bands I HATED open for awesome bands, but I didn't boo them. Opeth might be over these peoples heads.
I'll probably check it out, some samples online (Or borrow it from my friends, they'll buy it), I'm just hoping they step outside the "Tool box" and make a completely fresh sounding album.

Sorry your not stoked. | No, it's not that, it's just that their music doesn't really interest me anymore. There a very talented band, no doubt, but I just really don't care anymore.
Who needs 11/8 signatures and 12 bar screams when you have da funk? |

| | Registered User | | Join Date: Nov 2003 Location: Scotland | | I can't wait for this album: it should be great. However, the title and some of the track names sound a bit iffy. I mean, there's a song titled "Pot". To borrow an expression, that's just lame  |

I used to be a Tool slut, but then I just started listening to the stuff that they ripped off, ie King Crimson, and they really aren't that good.
You don't need drugs to make good music.

The only "rock" album that has come out in the past couple years that I can truely say I got my moneys worth was "The Killers" album |

Second: Drugs. Don't tell me you're one of those morons who think in order to be weird/creative you need drugs. One of the strangest rock composers ever: FRANK ZAPPA, would KICK YOU OUT OF HIS BAND if you did drugs. So everyone involved with Zappa and his insanity were running clean.
I loathe the mindset that drugs = creativity. Usually drugs make you do things like write a song called, "Pot."

Are you saying people with certain political views can't make decent music?
