hexadecimal 0 #3 April 17, 2006 I've heard it... sounds pretty good, though Maynard definitely sounds different. I prefer his old style, but maybe the rest of the album will be different, who knows. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

arlo 0 #8 April 17, 2006 i'm gonna have to agree with hex that maynard is sounding a bit different. not as much "mmmmm" like i love in aenima it's sounding a bit more angry in a not so calm and calculated sorta way. listening to vicarious now. there is definitely a mix of EVERYTHING tool in this - including huge sections that sound like the perfect circle side of maynard. the beginning sounds a crazy bit like pearl jam so it threw me off for a sec. i'm looking forward to hearing the album/cd/whatever-you-wanna-call-it in its entirety. bring it ON. edited to add some concert dates (from their website): Here are the dates for some smaller venue shows in the US and Canada before the band leaves for Europe: SUN-APR-30 INDIO, CA/ COACHELLA FESTIVAL TUE-MAY-02 SEATTLE/ PARAMOUNT THEATRE THU-MAY-04 OAKLAND/ PARAMOUNT THEATRE FRI-MAY-05 LAS VEGAS/ THE JOINT SAT-MAY-06 PHOENIX/ GAMMAGE HALL MON-MAY-08 DALLAS/ McFARLIN AUDITORIUM WED-MAY-10 DENVER/ TEMPLE BUELL THEATRE THU-MAY-11 KANSAS CITY/ MEMORIAL HALL FRI-MAY-12 MINNEAPOLIS/ ORPHEUM THEATRE SAT-MAY-13 CHICAGO/ AUDITORIUM THEATRE MON-MAY-15 DETROIT/ FOX THEATRE TUE-MAY-16 TORONTO/ HUMMINGBIRD THEATRE THU-MAY-17 PHILADELPHIA/ TOWER THEATRE FRI-MAY-19 NEW YORK/ CITY CENTER SAT-MAY-20 NEW YORK/ CITY CENTER SUN-MAY-21 BOSTON/ WANG CENTRE Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

rapter 0 #13 April 18, 2006 It's playing on the edge right now, A bit different then other tool albums, not bad, need to hear it late at night with a good buzz,.............. Only the good die young, so I have found immortality, Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lindercles 0 #14 April 21, 2006 I'll be the first to admit that when I first heard Vicarious I thought it sounded basically like a Lateralus B side. Unlike other comments in this thread, I thought Maynard's different style was the best thing about the new track, as it was the only thing that seemed new or innovative. However, I just got a leaked copy of the full album, and it is absolutely amazing. It combines elements from as far back as Opiate and Undertow with elements from more recent albums along with some entirely new, innovative sounds to create a sound all it's own. Most prominently are Maynard's continued exploration of vocals and some awesome riffs from Adam Jones. You can really hear the Meshuggah influence in Adam (that's not my opinion, he's admitted it). As usual, Maynard's haunting and introspective lyrics are powerful. A lot of this album centers around his mother's life after her stroke and paralysis (her name was Marie). She was paralyzed for about 27 years, approximately 10,000 days. Unfortunately, I've heard a lot of negative comments about the album, some people even speculating that the leaked version is a joke album designed to fuck with people. These people must be idiots. The album is spectacular. It's gripping, it's powerful, and it's got a groove to it unlike past Tool albums. If you're interested, pm me and I'll see if I can't ysi it to you in a rar'ed format. For the record, the leaked version is not a substitute for the actual album. I will be buying it on May 2. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Lindercles 0 #17 May 8, 2006 Agreed. However, the closest show to Austin/Houston is in Dallas and tickets are going for $200-$900. What's up with that?? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ntacfreefly 0 #19 May 8, 2006 Well I'm on my 3rd consecutive listen. Each time the album gets more gripping, deeper and immersive. My opinion, at this point, is that it's their best work to date. I haven't wanted to skip 1 track (that's rare for me to say the least) although I do feel that the album is meant to be listened to in it's entirety - there aren't many tracks I'd just 'skip to' to listen but the experience as a collective is stunning. When they come to ATL we'll be seeing them (again - Lateralus was a great tour too!!) edit: And while I was initally annoyed I couldn't get the CD from ITunes I am now glad because the artwork and packaging is awesome.

MrHixxx 0 #21 May 8, 2006 You had me hooked until you said "it's got a groove to it unlike past Tool albums". I think Lateralus and Aenima are definately "mood" albums, a little more heady than primal. However, Undertow has definately got a primal groove through its entirety. If yer not picken up on that son, ya done got no mojo at all It packs a nice dark emotive vibe I dig it. This album is refreshing in that it takes you somewhere. It has a very emersive effect if you are allowing yourself to listen. I am so tired of 3 min aural hand jobs to meet the radio format. These guys definately have taken time and sincerity to produce a mature work with this one. I was happy to shell out a paultry ten bucks for this cd which is artistically worth more than the last 10 I've bought. I would like to see it in a celebrity death match with the last Dave Mathews album...

Lindercles 0 #22 May 9, 2006 What I meant by that was "It's got a groove to it which is unlike the groove of any past album" not "it's got a groove to it and past albums don't." But I see how it may have come off that way. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
riddler 0 #23 May 9, 2006 Tool is, IMO, the best rock band of the last 10 years, maybe more. They're playing tomorrow night about one mile from me, and I'm not going. Big-name concerts just aren't worth the hassle, starting with the body-cavity searches, and ending with the traffic jam. There's plenty of good local music without the degradation of civilization. I'll probably download the album on the 'net, just to spite the RIAA. At some point, I'll want better sound quality and buy a second-hand CD, again, just to spite the RIAA. I hate being so cynical of things, but when it comes to name-brand music, damn it's easy Trapped on the surface of a sphere. XKCD Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ntacfreefly 0 #24 May 9, 2006 If you think they're the best rock band of the last 10 years, why wouldn't you support them? You're spiting the artist too. Blues, Ian ps: I'm all for D/L a CD to see if it's worth buying, but if you determine it is - at least support the artist.
