I've had to remove this non-English review meanwhile, any takers for the translation? It look like it is well written. (Review 79479)
 
TOOL — 10,000 Days
Review by Mario Lizano Q. (Mario Lizano Quesada)

4 stars Tool: 10000 Days Tool Disectional – Volcano Entertainment Mario Lizano Quesada. Revisión y Comentario Personal. San José, Costa Rica.

Muy pocas veces nos encontramos con trabajos musicales cuya presentación gráfica y contenido musical sean totalmente proporcionales o equivalentes. Esto no es de extrañar en Tool, agrupación que siempre se ha lucido con las portadas.

La primera vez que escuché a los “Tool” (como en un principio les llamaba), fue mediante los clásicos videos de “Sober” y “Prison Sex” que se transmitían en el finado “MTV Headbangers”. Me parecía algo muy original y entretenido de “ver”, sin embargo poca atención les prestaba a su música.

Cuando vi por primera vez el trabajo “Aenima”, en 1997, quedé tan impactado por la presentación gráfica, que en mis adentros me dije: Pueden ser dos cosas, un disco mediocre con una gran portada, o una portada relacionada verdaderamente con el contenido. Me jugué los dos chances. Solo les quiero decir que pasé escuchando ese disco todos los días a lo largo de la segunda mitad de ese año (al día siguiente de comprarlo ya tenia “Opiate” y “Undertow”).

El impresionante “Salival” y el neo-progresivo “Lateralus” obviamente terminaron de reafirmar mi gusto por esta banda.

Hoy, en “10000 Days”, nuevamente Tool sigue complaciendo al oído progresivo más exigente. Su típico caleidoscopio musical, siempre lleno de colores y matices audio-hipnóticos y girando con la mayor de las simetrías, genera toda una gama de “sonido visual” que ciega nuestro entorno físico y mental con solo colocarse unos auriculares y cerrar los ojos (cuidado: un exceso de volumen podría ser peligroso). Todo un trabajo lleno de madurez, ingenio e imaginación, reflejados totalmente en la composición musical.

Se conservan algunas vibraciones melódicas étnicas, probablemente procedentes del aprendizaje de Maynard en su alternativo A Perfect Circle, las cuales también ya se hacían notar en el formidable “Lateralus”. Sin embargo son más profundas en el presente trabajo, cuya mezcla y calidad del sonido siguen siendo superiores (a pesar de la ausencia de David Bottril en esta producción). En este trabajo genial se siguen conservando las increíbles percusiones vibrantes llenas variaciones métricas de Danny Carey, con un mayor espíritu y fuerza melódica en Maynard James Keenan, el clásico contratiempado fondo técnico palpitante y saturador de Justin Chancellor y el sentimiento más colorido y ardiente del virtuoso Adam Jones, cargados de increíbles secuencias sonoras y espaciales (como solo Tool lo sabe hacer), conservadas a lo largo de los más de 75 minutos de duración de quizá la más grande y esperada reaparición del rock pesado y progresivo norteamericano del presente año.

Un álbum totalmente impactante, lleno de novedades, digno de estar en toda colección musical. 100% recomendado.

Por un momento se creyó que esta banda iba a desaparecer... Se equivocaron. Tenemos a los “Tool” para rato (10000 días son 27 años). Que lo disfruten. Salud.

It is well written indeed - like most native speakers of Italian, I understand Spanish reasonably well. Anyway, I think people like Ivan or othe native speakers of Spanish would do the job better than I could. Should you ever get reviews written in Italian, I'm your (wo)man!Wink

On a short walk through the Fripp reviews,I've discovered something that I think should go.

ROBERT FRIPP — Radiophonics 1995: Soundscapes Volume 1 - Live In Argentina

Review by drosgerl

4 stars Mr Fripp is able to weave layers of sounds onto each other creating soundscapes and visions. An impressive live set. I'm wondering if Fripp was under the influence of the traditional argentine "mate" during the concert. mate kudasai?



Marc Cartlon's review on this album is way better.

Review by richardh (Richard Haydon)

4 stars Most Yes beyond 1980 is crap so it was quite refreshing to discover this very underated gem from the early nineties.This is still the Rabin era but it has a freshness and quality of sound that is far better than 90125 and The Big Generator.Alan White plays the drums as well as I've heard him while the songs are strong.Certainly not one to be avoided.You might be pleasantly surprised in fact!

this is a very experienced reviewer so i'm surprised at this one.


I just noticed this one on the front page. Its ok I think, but I object to the use of the word "crap".

I was also surprised at this one from Richard. To be honest, it doesn't sound like the person I met at the Prog Curry night.

THINKING PLAGUE — A History of Madness
Review by Cometa Rossa

5 stars I think, Thinking Plague (what a great name!) is a merger of the concepts of Relayer-Yes, Western-Culture- Henry Cow, Interview-Gentle Giant, probably a litte Gravity-/Speechless-Fred Frith and of ... only mastermind and master guitar player Mike Johnson could explain. And what develops from this ground is pure sonic adventure. Your ears as well as this mind-emotion- vision-machine in between could be fed for years and years with this extraorinary music. No doubt, 5 stars! (Yes I know, I allmost wrote the same words for "In Extremis")

Should you give someone who is clearly not one of the brightest people that much attention?
Just a ban, and let it rest I guess... Disgusting it is, that's one thing for sure.

Well, maybe "love" is a bit strong Tony, but seriously - this person should be prosecuted.
