10,000 DAYS

1. Vicarious and the dark entry, unrecognizable rock, latent spaces, 2. Jambi and the syncopated, electric riff of the start; a still very heavy, choppy sound; when I think that some see the psyche, the progressive in there, I remain circumspect; the vocoder used puts a little psyche ok but really an ersatz; the sound with this nervous riff often reminds me of the rantings of the SMASHING PUMPKINS which had progressive reminiscences; and if TOOL had any; good long melodic and nervous suite we said 3. Wings for Marie, Pt. 1 latent doom intro with Tibetan bell, no art-rock wow what is this band? a guitar that sends you to the IRON MAIDEN well, it vibrates, hums, the space fills up, Maynard gives the dark side of the album, by the way, did you put on your glasses? a Riddick-style schizoid cover too and 4. 10,000 Days (Wings, Pt. 2) similar intro but faster, I take off my headphones I hear the storm through... oh no it's really in the title; I take it off it's really stunning oh yes it's not the storm in real life, it's inside; I close my eyes for a few moments to open them again... is Maynard in the room, oh no damn; 3 minutes it rises and the prog blood comes to light, a new blood, Indian, Comanches for a musical trance; TOOL is not told, TOOL is lived; good question hidden title i tried crosswise, right, left, nada; like a strident solo from Adam don't forget he's the strong man of the group, the one who allows himself to go far, to make you dance like a zombie, thirsty for blood, yes the prog is there! A group apart that makes hypnotic metal, not based on the goldsmithery of cascading notes but above all on the frantic rhythm of trance, in short, hilarious and frenetic like these many bedridden days, a beautiful tribute 5. The Pot ...I dare, I've always found Maynard innovative and charming; his Iroquois punk crest that mocks the progs forever traumatized by this brutal end due to them...a real friend; well if not the more we advance and the more the sound becomes good prog metal, finally metal with progressive incursions just in the soli breaks, crazy 6. Lipan Conjuring yes some people are starting to think but what nonsense is he talking about?... and that's not prog, this Indian interlude, and bam!! I conjure fate with dexterity 7. Lost Keys (Blame Hofmann) yes I read... Experimental/Post Metal and be, but why not... unclassifiable this band with this latent post track, an ideal second interlude to settle down, here we come and talk to me ah not yet a sound effect that I take cash or happy, good the steps move away phew it's better, strident pleasant, reasonable 8. Rosetta Stoned and the album's second cornerstone; not stoner, not metal, not psyche though at the end, not rock, just an experience outside the rules to navigate in inter-space... musiczal or mushroom-like; in short, a riff of hell like the grass of the devil, a tribal rhythm and a deluge of notes, the rest being too intimate to talk about it 9. Intension has always reminded me of this psychedelic track from PINK FLOYD, that's how it is, a slow psychic rise to promote a narcissistic trance; what psyche but where are we going to find that? Well there exactly; a title full of sensitivity, delicacy, dark and cold at the same time, slow and gripping 10. Right in Two which connects on 2 acoustic guitars, where is the metal of the departure, gone; where is the annoying, trance, hypnotic, hilarious, gone side; where is TOOT, there here on this alternative track... when you don't know anymore, you say alternative; a good third and it explodes a little, in a controlled post-doom psyche mode; dry drums, the vibration of the guitar, a tribal tune from a remote tribe, a Cheyenne mantra? An air which makes you dubious, which accelerates, the trance becomes violent, it jostles you, it leaves you in your entrenchments, it makes you doubt your tastes; it's brutal, strong, tribal .. not to repeat tribal, it's high, it's TOOL until before this slow and calm return 11. Viginti Tres for the hidden title, the one in 78 rpm you listen to a hidden message? Wind yes... Well the voice we've already heard that, the sound effects too, doesn't prevent it calms the ears a tad and that... it's priceless; it reminds me of the experiences of the musical research foundation, ah remember when you hold us, but I don't know if TOOL does TOOL here?
