10000 Days [Digipak] - Tool

It's going to be heavier. It's going to sound just like Meshuggah. They're dabbling in numerology. Danny Carey's taken his drumming to a new level entirely. It's going to be like nothing you've ever heard before from Tool. So much talk. So many questions. So perhaps it's inevitable that 10,000 Days showcases a band in stasis. This is still the exact same band who made Lateralus, and to an extent, Aenima. Tool haven't changed at all in the four years ...
...Who bought into all the talk, anyway? Surely we've all learnt by now that the majority of the talk surrounding Tool is guff. If we hadn't, then all the cries that the leak was a fake surely proved it. Seemingly, some Tool fans will do anything to prove that they know the band better than every other Tool fan does.

Review of 10000 Days [Digipak] - Tool

As always a Tool release is a seismic occurance! They have a very big expectation and they never fail to live up to it! This time round is no different, this cd is fantastic! Tool are fantastic!

The next track Jambi is in 5/4 time signature, which is a common feature in this album. It is a very powerful intro, and the rest of the song transgresses through lots of proggy sections, building to an amazing outro section. The next track Wings for Marie ...

Review of 10000 Days [Digipak] - Tool

...Having said that, so does 10000 Days. The opener Vicarious is a blistering rocker and probably the most technical track on the album, this is followed by Jambi another really good heavy rocker. Other stand out tracks for me are The Pot and Right In Two, but unfortunately its all broken up by seemingly pointless meandering tracks. Knowing Tool I'm sure they have some sort of deep meaning, but when the album runs to over an hour and a quarter why ...
