It's not even worth aggrevating myself over because you are so obviously trying to stir shit up and there is no way you can honestly believe what you just typed. Linkin Park is OK, Slipnot is good, but Tool is far and away one of the greatest bands in the best few decades if not ever. And to you people who are trying to label them with the Heavy Metal genre, besides "Opiate" nothing they have put out is close to heavy metal. Get a clue, assclowns

Tool is one of the greatest bands of the last few decades if not ever?!? You seriously believe that? You can look in the mirror at yourself and say that without laughing?

Give me some better examples and explain to me how they are not... This thread reeks of the same person posting under multiple names...

"One of the greatest bands ever" leaves room to include hundreds of other bands. If we are talking about hundreds of bands over the past few decades, then HELL YES, Tool is one of the best. If we are limiting the list to 50 or even a 100, then maybe not. They certainly are one of my top 25 for sure, but I might not claim them to be one of the greatest ever. Although I don't think that's out of the question either. Tool is quite good. People might think they are incredibly pretentious and constantly agrandize themselves, but that's part of the joke that makes them so good. You have to be good to get away with that year after year. And if you've never seen them live you are missing an important piece that makes Tool so incredible. Their recordings are good, but do not compare to their live performances.

I don't think any other band's music has had quite as powerful influence on me.

Since Maynard was on the XC team at Westpoint, does anyone know his PRs?

It's offical, new Tool album will be titled: 10,000 Days

Does this have anything to do with Disturbed's 10,000 fists?

No way in hell they would model the name of their album after Disturbed... Interesting choice of a name... Also, toolshed says that a possible release date for their first single will be on April 17th.

Just heard it on the radio, first single comes out on Monday, April 17

I would be disappointed if Tool had any sort of connection to Disturbed. If their first single comes out Monday, I might just sit by the radio all day long. Interesting that their first single is coming out on Easter Monday. I wonder if they planned that?

Why not?!? Disturbed ROXXXXXX.

Ooh-ah-ah-ah-ah!!!

Vicarious is their first single, it is out on April 17th. The album will be out on May 2nd. I have my doubts whether the tracklisting and album title are correct, but as of now the tracklisting is as follows:

"Vicarious" (7:06)

"Jambi" (7:28)

"Wings For Marie (Pt 1)" (6:11)

"10,000 Days (Wings Pt 2)" (11:14)

"The Pot" (6:22)

"Lipan Conjuring" (1:11)

"Lost Keys (Blame Hofmann)" (3:44)

"Rosetta Stoned" (11:14)

"Intension" (7:21)

"Right In Two" (8:56)

"Viginti Tres" (5:01)

Finally!! Thoughts??

After the first listen I am so-so on it. We'll see how I feel in a week. That said, Wings for Marie (Pt.1) is beautiful!

It's obvious Disturbed has been influenced by Tool, you can hear just as plain as you can hear the Beatle's sound in Oasis's music. They may or may not admit it but it's there. And as far as ALL those other bands that supposedly all sound alike, I got news for ya. Tool hit way before any of those bands. When Tool hit I never once thought to myself, they sound like ANYONE I have ever heard before. You can't say that about those other bands. Tool is and was completely original. So no, you cannot say they sound like anyone else. You can do better than that troll.

Blah Disturbed? I meant Slipknot wtf

Vicarious rocks, plain and simple... I can't stop listening to it!

Good to have you back Tool!

BUMP. sheeeit...

"The Pot" is one of the greatest Tool has ever put out, i my opinion. "Jambi" and "Rosetta Stoned" are great also. The album is a little slow at times for me, but it is continuing to grow on me. I'd call it a success, nonetheless

hah, he sounds like the dude from maroon 5 in the beginning of "the pot." I think "right in two" is very catchy.
