Free Music Notes for 10,000 Days
Free Music Review: Can't really tell the difference.
Hit: 4 Stars
I've just been listening to the import cd next to an mp3 10,000 days album that I downloaded and I can't honestly really tell any difference between the two. I'm using a pair of Sennheiser HD595 headphones with a Sound Blaster Audigy 2 Platinum sound card so I'm using a pretty decent setup. If you're buying this album thinking that you were going to get some type of far superior product, then you're going to be a bit disapointed like I was. The cd may be superior, but even with good audio equipment, It's very hard or impossible to notice. I give it 5 stars for the album, 3 stars for the value.Free Music Review: A Good Direction for Tool

The trouble with coming to a new Tool album is that they are not sequels. In the movies, when the producers, directors, etc. create a sequel, they walk a tightrope between trying to recreate the experience of the original while also offering something new. The same thing goes when a band attempts to make a sequel to a successful cd, recreating the experience of the original for the audience. Tool, as I stated, avoids making their successive albums sequels of the preceding outings. We as fans, however, being used to the industry placating us with watered down sequels of successful albums, come to each new Tool cd, as we come to 10,000 days, expecting to have our wonderful experience of the previous albums recreated. On some level, this is probably the explanation for a general observation of mine, that Tool fans generally seem to think that the first Tool album they got hooked on is the best album and that it is the pinnacle of Tool's work. When we go on from that first love, even to already existing works, we come to them with those expectations, as though they were sequels, and if we allow this to bait us into impatience then we only skim the surface of the music. As is generally acknowledged, Tool is too deep for this, and only passing by we miss the true beauty of the music.
With that said, I love 10,000 days. Aenima was my first love, and to me 10,000 days has a tonal feel about it that is resonant of that album. I think you can really feel that on The Pot. The bass and guitar work there really brings me back, but then at the same time the song goes to a totally different place than anything on Aenima. Somehow, Lateralus never caught on for me, but this album I very much enjoy. I feel like it has a stronger character than Lateralus. Obviously, I don't have much particularly intelligent or insightful to add, as I really don't know much about music, but I thought maybe my general insight on Tool's artistic output would be helpful to you. I hope so.

I'm a long time Tool fan. I like tool.. This pabulum is 4 songs tool - the rest junk. Just because I'm a Tool fan doesn't mean I'm going to be all 'artsy' and say Tool has matured. If they have matured they have matured into crap.
The CD opens GREAT.. the first 2 songs are class. Updated and revised kick butt Tool. Then the 3rd "song" comes and it's like "Whale Music." Which is fine if you're a whale looking for a mate. I'm not though, I'm human and I'm already married. Thinking this must be an anomoly I move to the 4th. Which is 11.. yes count them 11 minutes of MORE WHALE MUSIC!
Then we have song 5 "the pot" which everyone should know. Classic tool - revised - kick butt. A golden reprieve from the otherwise useless 17 MINUTES of PURE CRAP I was forced to listen to while searching for the band formerly known as Tool.
Track 6 is a 1 minute long interlude of American Indian head-hunting chant music. A purely random entry by Tool to honor the tough Indian Warrior of yesteryear. Atleast that's my assumption.
7 - Crap.. undefined crap. Don't even know how to describe it waste-of-time junk.
8 - Pretty good song.. Really good. Also the last Tool song on this CD.
9 - Junk, 10 - Junk .. they actually play Bongos in 10. Bongos. I felt like I was in the movie Beach Blanket Bingo or whatever that my Mom used to watch. I was about to yell "Lets put the pig on the fire!.." and then I realized I was in my car listening to crap.
11 - some guy got his hand caught in a blender made of keyboards and produced more crap.
Bottom line.. If you're a whale, or an American Indian Warrior circa 1842, or one of those people that like Bongo music this CD is for you.
If you're a Tool fan you should avoid at all costs or you'll be forced to tell your friends how far they have gone and how much they have matured while quietly shelving this piece of slag between the letters Crap and Junk.

Isn't The best album from Tool but is a great one, i recommend it if you like this band.Free Music Review: Finally, Tool is still Tool!
Hit: 5 Stars
Tool is back doing what they do best. After a painfull long wait due to Maynard's other project Tool is back in the saddle and finds a rythem and words that stamp the music unmistabkly as Tool. Let's just hope that the wait for the next album won't be quite so long.
