TOOL - 10,000 Days

BleakestH

According to Toolshed.down.net, the new album is called '10,000 Days'. Strange.

garthv

Any release date?

BleakestH

Early May apparently, with the new video being premiered mid-April.

porn_star

it's not just according to toolshed.down.net
it was first posted by blair on the official site, except he acted the fool and kept taking in down and putting it back up to confuse people. But yeah, thats the title.
rumoured to be released on may 2nd.
i can hardly wait!

BleakestH

May 2nd...say day as the new PJ album...what a month!

flogen

I spotted that on Toolband; is it for real? He said that the covers had gone to the printers (or something) and so the title was likely to leak, but that site is renound for releasing joke information, especially about upcoming releases.

May 2nd though, PJ and Tool in lovely co-release goodness? Yay! Let's hope for an Irish gig too (Ozzfest gig was superb but I'd prefer a smaller venue... not the SFX though!)

porn_star

well toolshed.down.net posted that they have it on a reliable source that 10,000 days is infact the title and the 'reliable source' is rumoured to be maynard.
I guess we'll find out for sure when its released though.
take everything tool say with a pinch of salt

Arucard

the post Blair put up & took down and put up again was as follows:

The artwork for the upcoming Tool album is going to the separators/printers today, therefore it will eventually be leaked out that the name of the album is (drum roll.......) ' 10,000 days '

... so there it is.


right, first off, there is no signature. Blair signs all of his posts BMB, but not this one. secondly, READ it, "it will eventually be leaked..." - doesnt say straight out that the album will be called 10,00 Days, just that that title will be leaked. personally, i dont buy it. also, if the "reliable source" is indeed MJK, then the chances of that title being the actual title just got slimmer. we'll have to wait and see when it comes out. i'm not saying it WONT be 10,000 Days, but i'm stickin my neck out and saying that i dont think it will be.

Willymuncher

Pretty strange title compared to their previous albums... :-/ not that it matters, roll on May!

Buck Owens

wasnt Lateralus called Poopy the Clown or something at one stage? but 10,000 days is a pretty believable title.

dabhoys

With tool its hard to call. They did all this stuff on the lead up to the lateralus album before. I won't believe the album title till I see it

Can't wait to hear this album. Its going to rock!!!

interesting but i'll take that with a grain of salt. first off it's all in red. second, no BMB signature. third, it's tool. they always do that.

porn_star

yeah
i'm not believing anything til I have that album in my hands!

^ same here

flogen

friend tells me there's a rumoured torrent doing the rounds; I aint heard it myself (dont bother asking me where to get it either),

He says it doesn't sound like them, at least he hopes it isnt!
(he does make a point that it may well have been put up by them as a joke)

they did that last time too.

PiE

I don't get it. I mean, I like Tool myself but I just don't understand the fanatical way the "real" fans analyse everything the band members do or say. What does the album name really matter since you won't be able to hear the songs for a few months?

Either way, good to know it's nearing release.

When you get it, you'll understand.

Tool like to mess with peoples heads. Its what they do. Personally I cant wait for the new album. All the other bands I like have released terrible albums of late, but i think Tools will be something special

To be honest, i stopped thinking about anything that Tool do as strange.....it's just Tool.

Arucard

heh, yeah, just comes hand in hand. if they just released an album, we'd rejoice, listen to it for about a month, and then stop and think ".....they never ****ed with us....thats really REALLY odd."

dabhoys

There seems to be a nice 2 day gap before tool head to Glasgow and if I remember correctly the last time they played here they went to glasgow after so touch wood it will be when they play here

EDIT: Copying and pasting the addresses leads to two nice pictures. Not sure about the logo compared to the Lateralus one. It's good though.

Andy King Review

Thanks to Fourth Part of a Circle and Andy King for this one:
Track 1- “Vicarious” (7min 3sec).
Mesmeric start. Hypnotic beat. Jagged, angular off beats. Familiar trancey passages punctuated by a guitar part reminiscent of an older Tool track. Tribal drum beats roger with a lovely melody and climax with Maynard’s vocals.

Track 2 “Jambi” (7min 12sec)
Melodic intro with almost balladic vocals from Maynard. Lighter feel (almost, dare I say it, APC-tinged) but not for long. Danny gets stronger – Baresi releases our tubthumper and the feel gets much heavier into ‘chugga chugga’ off beats. Then – here’s some unusual guitar work. Man, it’salmost Hendix-like! Then back into a heavy tribal groove

Track 3 “Wings For Marie (Pt 1)” (6min 20sec) / Track 4 “10,000 Days (Wings Pt 2)” (10min 26sec)
Starting with Buddhist temple-flavoured gong tweaking the collective nipples of Kraftwerk, a deep sphincter-rumbling bass and om chanting might recall ‘Parabol’. After 3 minutes of this nerve-wracking niceness, all Hell breaks loose with mega-heavy riffdom before slipping back into spaciness after 30 seconds. Like an epileptic convulsion in a night of deep sleep. Hawkwind does Greensleeves whilst Pink Floyd look on. The Record Company people are starting to look nervous and uncomfortable as if they have seldom HEARD anything so strange and worrying. What the roger is this? Let me outta here! I need to go snuggle the Radio One Playlist! Suddenly it’s a crazed sea shanty for whacked-out space travelers. ‘You’re the only one who can hold your head up high. It’s my time now… my time now… give me my… give me my…’ duets Maynard with himself. Danny fights free of the evil clutches of Dr Baresi and goes off on one. Adam’s guitar recalls something off Lateralus again. It’s Triad, I think, but it’s almost impossible to identify one riff whilst another song goes on. The musical equivalent of rubbing one’s head and tummy simultaneously in different directions. They’re doing this on purpose to roger with our heads. Bastards! Returns to full-on rhythmic Toolishness to end. No it isn’t the end. It doesn’t end like any other song ends.

Track 5 “The Pot” (Probably 6min 11 sec)
Oooooooh. This is THE one. Ya know what, pluggers? Radio might even go for this! Maynard’s vocals at the start are quite extraordinary. Place equal parts of Chris De Burgh, Tiny Tim and Bilal The Muezzin in a blender and run for your life. Easily the most commercial track to date. In fact, easily the most commercial track Tool have EVER done. That guitar is waaay strong again. Did Adam bribe Baresi? This is still twisted. It’s hard but commercial. The end spells a relief as climactic as a boil bursting. I go ‘Yessssss’ and the whole room of cool jouros looks round at me as if I’m a Bateman cartoon ‘The Man Who Ordered A Pork Sandwich In Blooms’. This is a SERIOUSLY awesome track. Just you mark my words.

Track 6 “Lipan Conjuring” (1min)
In which Maynard becomes a Native American for no good reason. Strange, but we like a bit of strangeness.

Track 7 “Lost Keys (Blame Hofmann)”/ “Rosetta Stoned” (14min 45sec)
(Could be two medium length tracks and a terribly short one, too. I’m now losing the will to live with the stopwatch. It’s 14min 45sec of music, whatever) Guitars to the fore again. One long note with almost blues-like, overlaid note progressions. f@!# me, it’s House Of The Rising Sun cut with Ketamine. There are unsettling whispers and talking. Is this a bad trip or a psychiatry session? Come to think of it, is there a difference? ‘How Are You Today?’… ‘Tell Me Everything’ then THWACK! Into such a breathtakingly slappy, powerful riff kick that I’m actually physically winded for a nanosecond. Demonic, growling, rap noise over rhythmic heavy heavy groove. Forget the Were Rabbit jibe. This is a f@!# full-on, nasty, shaven headed WEREWOLF. A lightbulb goes mental in the room. The Record Company almost lose all cool and run for it. I damn nearly join them but now I AM crying. I am gulping back wracking sobs at the sheer Toolishness of this monstrous, magnificent track. This is the real deal. Again snippets from Lateralus. You ARE playing with us. You ARE! This is Tool’s equivalent of ‘spot the Hitchcock in the Hitchcock film’! But I don’t care. It’s like The Best Of Tool in one song. The Bomb. It ends like the violent end of a violent life. And then it ends again. Unless that’s another track, of course….

Track 9 “Intension” (6min 44sec).
Odd noises. Sea shore meets ironworks. Ever see the cartoon meisterwerk ‘Spirited Away’? You MUST! In it there is a character called Kamajii The Boiler Keeper who has 6 arms and an army of small black coals. This sound is similar. Soon joined by elastic bass and drum twangling over multi-layered Maynard whisperings and chanted vox. Shades of Pink Floyd again. Shades of the more ‘moody’ Lateralus tracks again. Reflection. Disposition. Tribal and hypnotic.

Track 10 Right In Two (9min 04sec. I think)
Melodic, slow, hypnotic. Almost balladic. Wall of Sound build-up. Danny does some Bamboo pole-type drumming into big rif***e. Big, big sound. Tool at their weightiest. It’s almost Chinese at the end.

Track 11 “Viginti Tres”
The walk out track (their description not mine). Oddness. The Noodles of Satan.

Töpher

Reading that, I hope to Christ its not a piss take!

Arucard

yeah, looks like they werent ****in with us after all! i dont know what to say!
artwork looks cool, looks possibly like it was Alex Grey again

i refuse to read that review thing, should be a spoiler warning on it

some guys review from foreign radio

BleakestH

Here's how the album looks on Amazon.com:

evad_lhorg

cant wait can wait cantwait cant wait cant wait cant wait

flogen

Yeah, that is an Alex Grey piece...

I'm going to hibernate until may 2nd... then Tool and Pearl Jam in one go!!

http://www.alexgrey.com/
yeah its looks to definatly be the album title and cover

but i remember last time before lateralus, the title of the album was systema encephale, they had a cover and all ready, but they changed it not too far off the date of release

aswell as that, wrong track names were given like "riverchrist" and "pain canal" which never ended up on the album

i wouldnt be sure of anything untill i see and hear the album

- judging from your mans review, it doesnt sound like that much of a progression, then again you have to hear a tool album more than once to get the jist of it.

smackbunnybaby

yeah i agree with what josco said about the review.
it could be bull, i mean its not like it would be difficult to make up......

all i know for sure is i have my ticket to see them in london

Where in London are they playing and where did you get your ticket??
I know they're playing the donnington download fest and glascow, but no where else I thought...
I'd love to see them and as I'm sure you know there has been no Irish dates as of yet.

a good point. and also, the artwork is off the album mini, not the actual album itself, so t'all could be very different!

Doc_Savage

no gif could sum up the Lateraus artwork!

it'll be better in the flesh!! and sound:rolleyes:

projectmayhem

i heard the album will be bubble-ish. all sticking-out and what not (my command of the english language has suddenly gone to hell). i was taking a peek at the pics again and you can see where it would stick out, if what i've been told is actually true

BlackSabbath

just listen to the music. i think the name is alright.

Here's some amazing ****: The new Tool single, "Vicarious" will officially be heard on radio on April 17th. That's all I've got... so to the Fox & Hounds I go.

locking the door...

take from that what you will. i say that because of the date and lack of BMB signature

evad_lhorg

they have a habit of doing april first pranks though. like last years maynard finding jesus incident.

psilocybe

Has anyone heard the MP3 circulating that is supposedly a excerpt from Vicarious. I am aware of the decoy tracks circulating but as far as I've heard thay sound nothing like Tool while this sounds very much like it could be them. It sounds excellent if it is real.

porn_star

Nope, I haven't heard it... not bothered either, I'll just wait til may 2nd....

and then I'll hear it when they play it live in Prague june 25th....teehee...just booked flights and gig tickets...ever so excited!!!

Turns out I can go to the Paris gig after all. My flights are booked. Staying with a friend and gig tickets are free
