Tool

just finished listening. very good album but holy schmoly does every song on this album have to have a section/part/riff that's far too reminiscent of a section/part/riff from an older TOOL song?

after the one listen I think 7empest is my current favorite track

Yes....to everything. It's good. It's also derivative....and the tracks are waaaayyyyyy to long.

I get that long songs are a staple in Prog, but it's a bit much when all but 1 track is over 10 minutes. (not counting those digital only tracks)


All that being said, I've listened to it about 10 times this week and I'm gonna get a Spotify stream going while I wait for UPS to deliver the CD.

Who would have thought Tool and The Dead had so much in common.

I’m anxiously awaiting a Tool/Phish collaboration. 5 tracks, 2.5 hours long. Deluxe package comes with a bottle of Caduceus and a limited edition pint of Phish Food infused with CBD.

Seriously though, this album is great if only a tad bit familiar sounding. Loving it on listen 1.
 
The long tracks have me a little worried about vinyl sequencing (because that's the most important thing to consider when listening to a new album 😂).

I guess if using the CD tracklist, the best you could do is probably:
  • Side 1: tracks 1-2 22:13
  • Side 2: track 3 12:44
  • Side 3: tracks 4-5 23:42
  • Side 4: tracks 6-7 20:31
Wonder if they just skip vinyl again though - anyone hear anything promising?

Pretty sure an official announcement said later in the year - I don't care how they decide to split the tracks...as long as it isn't a Black Friday RSD release.

I'm not sure if these are regional differences tho.


EDIT - there's also some differences of the art on the side where the charging port is.

So how is the CD for anyone that got it? I was holding off for the vinyl, but now feeling the FOMO. I think it’s selling out though so I may be outta luck anyway.

me too. shit, I don't have a CD player outside of the one in my car but still I was checking out a few stores this afternoon to see if I could find it, unfortunately to no luck.
 
Still waiting for UPS....they usually come late afternoon, but a couple days ago surprised me with a morning delivery. Thought maybe they'd do that again today...but nope.
