Maynard's Dick Artwork Lateralus The Grudge Eon Blue Apocalypse The Patient Mantra Schism Parabol Parabola On this album the songs are largely dominated by crunching bass riffs and hypnotic rhythms.

The guitars and vocals orbit these centres of mass like the accretion disc around a neutron star, providing light and colour however dim among the pulsing gravity at the centre. For me it demands listening to without the distractions of everyday noise and it needs to be played quite loudly to achieve the immersion that the music requires.

This allows the music to unfold in interesting ways, and without being faux oriental in any way it has that trance like eastern mandala like quality. The discordant aspects of previous album Lateralus are largely abandoned and this has more in common with Fear Innoculum , though they never sound like anyone but themselves. As a lifelong prog fan, I don't really have a problem with that.

There are also a couple of songs that perhaps reflect the 70s tastes of the band members. I don't want to listen to it every day, but when the mood takes me this is a place where melancholy gets ground into meditation and there is comfort and pleasure in that. Mike Canoe: It's been a while since I worked this hard to like an album.

Songs that good make me think there must be a way into "getting" Tool, but I haven't found it yet. And so it goes with 10, Days. My main impression is 75 minutes of rumble and mumble, aside from a guitar solo here or percussion clatter there.

With the exception of The Pot , Maynard Keenan's voice is buried deep in the mix. On a few tracks like Rosetta Stoned , Right In Two , or the mostly title track, a lyric will bubble up out of the murk and I'll Google the lyrics and think they are pretty good. I think there are glimpses of humour too.

I sincerely hope that Jambi , a song about wishing it all away, is referencing the genie from the '80's kids' show, Pee-wee's Playhouse. But if someone has a better explanation for Viginti Tres other than filling up every available moment on the CD with something , I'd like to read it.

Otherwise, Tool, for me, is still primarily a singles band. Uli Hassinger : So this was not my first serious contact with Tool. I listened to them long ago at a friend's place. But you know how it is, you're debating, discussing, chatting, cursing and so on.

After that experience I wasn't convinced and never listened to them again. I don't recall which album it was, but it was definitely more then 10 years ago. So this is my second approach, and to make it clear the only way you can understand this album is to listen closely, concentrated and focused, at best on your own.

Furthermore it's necessary to give the record some time. After three spins I have to say that my rating is getting better every time. I was surprised that half of the album is very calm and mellow.

I expect it to be much heavier. But the mix of rough riffs and smooth melodies is what makes the album great. No track, even the ones over 10 minutes, gets boring. In the slow parts I hear a lot of grunge influences like Alice in Chains and Soundgarden. But they manage it to keep the tension up over the album. The musicians are all over the top, but it is the rhythm section which has the most influence and shapes the album.

A very convincing album, and I'm already looking forward to listening to Lateralus. Cameron Gillespie : In the past I'd never managed to get round to listening to much of Tool, so this has been very insightful.

Unfortunately the album hasn't done a whole lot for me, not because it is bad, but I just can't seem to get on board with their style sometimes. I think that has a more powerful effect and makes their sound a little more suspenseful and daunting. I was so into the Pearl Jam record that this one sort of got lost in the shuffle to me.

I just never found a groove with it. Also, the case it came in was goofy and never fit on my shelf right. Relative to all records I would give it a 6. Yes the musicianship is way up there. Yes the songs are intricate. For example, observing and cheering on a war by watching it on TV, but never actually fighting in it.

The evidence suggests that Benson may have been shot by his own son, Nathan, age A Dunlop Heil talkbox, and a guitar pickup mounted inside a copper tube, to be specific. Give me a call. However, it does use the psychotropic drug as a metaphor. In other words, The Pot is more or less a critique on frivolous drug use. Revolver Magazine, 2 May From Wikipedia: A kangaroo court is a court that ignores recognized standards of law or justice, and often carries little or no official standing in the territory within which it resides.

The defendants in such courts are often denied access to legal representation and in some cases, proper defence and the right of appeal. Maybe they were trying to channel their inner Native American…. On 7 April , a post on toolband. In this song, it is generally thought to be the first time anyone used LSD.

This may explain the reason why he is so freaked out and no one knows what is wrong with him. The name of the song is a reference to the Rosetta Stone, which is a granodiorite stele discovered in which is inscribed with three versions of a decree issued at Memphis, Egypt in BC during the Ptolemaic dynasty on behalf of King Ptolemy V Epiphanes. The top and middle texts are in Ancient Egyptian using hieroglyphic and demotic scripts, while the bottom is in Ancient Greek.

The decree has only minor differences among the three versions, so the Rosetta Stone became key to deciphering Egyptian hieroglyphs, thereby opening a window into ancient Egyptian history.

But, it may also be about the fallacies and ignorance and narcissism of certain psychedelic enthusiasts.
