Re: Then new TOOL song
i don't really like tool so i'm not the right person to comment but i will anyway.
well...it sounds like tool. i don't like the talk/whisper singing part but musically it is kinda interesting.
i'm sure tool fans love it?

Re: Then new TOOL song
I’m holding off listening to any of it until the album is released. 10,000 Days was 50% filler so I’m pessimistic, but hopeful regardless.
They will never reach the dizzying heights that was Ænima.

Yeah, 10,000 Days mostly sucked. Totally disappointing.nausearockpig wrote: ↑Wed Aug 07, 2019 7:37 pmI’m holding off listening to any of it until the album is released. 10,000 Days was 50% filler so I’m pessimistic, but hopeful regardless.

Fear Inoculum sounds like a Lateralus outtake with extremely weak vocals. I understand Maynard can't scream like 20 years ago, but it's really obvious that this music was made without him and he's just phoning in the vocals to finish the album. It barely fits the song.
Re: Then new TOOL song
Yeah, sounds like cut and paste various Tool songs in to one. Yawn.
I saw them probably 5 or so times between Aenima and Lateralus. Then I caught one 10,000 Days show and then nothing since. Like all the greats, they went from being this incredible force of nature to paint by numbers.
Same with APC. I saw them twice before they even released an album while opening for NIN. Blew me away. This last album was God awful.
Puscifer has a few good tracks. Grand Canyon is incredible.

Kind of agree with this.Hokahey wrote: ↑Wed Aug 07, 2019 9:21 pmYeah, sounds like cut and paste various Tool songs in to one. Yawn.

The verse of the new song reminds me of Reflection. Chorus sounds like something Tool would do ... So very much agree with the copy/paste thing. They haven't reinvented themselves. Not necessarily bad ... but nothing new (on first listen).
I saw em on the Lateralus tour which was one of the best concerts I'v ever attended. Wasn't the biggest Tool fan, but got completely blown away. Saw em again during the 10.000 days tour and was bored.
I saw em last month as well, and was blown away again (could've been the acid though). Really good show, very tight ... and they played Part of Me.
But indeed - Aenima and Lateralus were great. They could only go downhill from there ...

Re: Then new TOOL song
Soooo... is anyone here an actual TOOL fan? As opposed to liking Sober and Stinkfist and thinking the rest of the catalogue is meh or all samey-samey ( kinda like I am with Metallica )..
Re: Then new TOOL song
I like Aenima and Lateralus a lot, opiate is also ok ... the rest not so much, seen em live a few times, have a few live bootlegs, most of their cd's, all of the official vinyl but am not a member of the Tool army ....
Does that make me a fan?

Re: Then new TOOL song
Not up to me to decide, I call myself a pretty big fan, though I don’t like about half of Undertow...

I'd call myself a regular fan. I like em well enough.
Listened to the song a few times. I like it better after a few listens, but sounds too much as something I heard before. Beginning reminds me of Reflection, the ending reminds me of the Grudge. Don 't like the Chorus too much

Re: Then new TOOL song
Fair enough. I’m keen as but am gonna wait til the whole album is released. So I can hear it in context from an album perspective.
Re: Then new TOOL song
No. I saw them 6 times all.over the Midwest because I hate them.nausearockpig wrote: ↑Thu Aug 08, 2019 1:20 amSoooo... is anyone here an actual TOOL fan? As opposed to liking Sober and Stinkfist and thinking the rest of the catalogue is meh or all samey-samey ( kinda like I am with Metallica )..

Re: Then new TOOL song
Maybe I missed that.
You might be interested in The TOOL Drive Project.

Re: Then new TOOL song
It's really fucking boring.
I hope it was released simply because it's the title track. Because, as a way to open an album, it's fine.
But as a single? That is trash.

Re: Then new TOOL song
Puscifer's Conditions of my Parole album is pretty incredible from start to finish, as long as you're cool with the songs varying in musical style.
Money Shot just kind of sounded like Puscifer trying to make a Puscifer record though. It was... less good.
Re: Then new TOOL song
I liked it!!!
And Grand Canyon is not that great of a song...

Re: Then new TOOL song
The album has been leaked ...
Re: Then new TOOL song
In today's day and age of everything streaming it seems completely ridiculous to seek out the leak and download it less than a week before you can listen to it without paying a dime.
Re: Then new TOOL song
I'm going to listen to one song and see if it makes me feel as "meh" as the first track did.
And if it does, I won't bother with the rest of it.

Re: Then new TOOL song
Pneuma sounds like every song on 10,000 Days and Maynard's singing is sparse at best.
I can't believe this took them a decade and a half.
I'm not even going to bother with the rest of this. I know it's just all going to sound 99% similar to something they already did on the last 2 records. Zero growth. Adam Jones is clearly out of ideas.

Re: Then new TOOL song
I kinda had the seem feeling.
Not particularly bad, just, nothing new. And if you listen to Fear Inoculum, and then put on Aenima ... yeah well ....
The fan's reactions are pretty good though. Everybody seems to like it. Only at anr people don't like it
