Thought I'd see what the rest of the forum thought of the album. Yes, there is another poll regarding this album, but it's more about how you thought the album would turn out. I personally see it as a triumph equal to Lateralus. |

I've given it a couple of listens by now and cannot rank it among Lateralus...maybe because I've put Lateralus in a throne...The album is good but I can't say it's as good as the spiritual Lateralus....gees....can you guys believe that maybe these guys will make us wait 5 more years for their next release? Will I go crazy? ------------- ...Histoires Sans Paroles... |

Right now I think it is equal to Lateralus,but not better.It is very different from Lateralus though. I have to listen to it some more,my opinion might change over time. -------------  |

Different, but equally good as Lateralus.
BTW: I don't think it's a "comeback" ... they just took their time. Comeback would imply that they released some mediocre albums in between Lateralus and this one, which they did not. ------------- https://awesomeprog.com/release-polls/pa" rel="nofollow - Release Polls Listened to:

I like it worse than Lateralus so far... but a solid effort nonetheless.

Above I said "different" ... more specifically, I think it's a bit less progressive than Lateralus. I'm sure that many people expected another concept album, instead they made a mixed album with a very loose concept and really different moods and sounds. IMO that was a very good decision. ------------- https://awesomeprog.com/release-polls/pa" rel="nofollow - Release Polls Listened to:

I loved it!!!
Wether I like it more than Lateralus,well I dont know.Each album has such qualities as to make you love them all on their own respected level.

Point taken, I just thought "comeback" sounded more dramatic than "return"  .So was there anyone who liked Lateralus but disliked 10,000 Days? |

| Although all TOOL albums are exceptional, I think 10,000 Days is definately their most mature and emotional album to date. I love it more and more each time I listen to it! |

Not as good. Lateralus is a Jewel; 10.000 days is a bit inferior. Plus, I heard somewhere that the next TOOL album was supposede to be a colaboration between Maynard and Reznor. I don't see it... that would be interesting. ------------- ¡Beware of the Bee! |

A sub par guitarist , a singer with 2 octaves max , songs that all make one want to commit suicide without a hint of positivety , a blind fan base largely run by teenagers without direction in their lives, "Yes we know its nothing new its just a waist of time who cares about that silly tool who seem to decide prog rocks plan".  I listened but once again I didn`t enjoy |

Ænima, Lateralus and 10,000 Days are all worth four stars. But, I believe Ænima > Lateralus > 10,000 Days. ------------- http://www.last.fm/user/omgwtfdagrush/">

You're probably referring to the now defunct Tapeworm project. One of such planned tracks can be heard on A Perfect Circle's last album Emotive as the track 'Passive'. Next up for Tool I believe is a concept album a la The Wall. Danny Carey has stated such in interviews before 10K's release. And I say to the band: forget The Wall, make sometime a la The Lamb. Also I've heard that the Lateralus DVD has also been scrapped.
Bands that 'make one want to kill oneself' can only be blamed on the listener's psyche. If that's the case, you should have a field day with NIN's and VDGG's output. I love your generalizations, to refute: every band has a teenage fan; many people are 'directionless'; every band have a positive outlook depending on who you are. Good day. |

10,000 Days, to me, is a slower more boring version of the previous Tool albums. I did not think Lateralus was as good as Undertow or Aenima, but I pretty much think that Tool left nothing to be desired after those albums. There was little they could with the style except to polish it...which they did on Lateralus, and it lacked the grit of the previous two albums. It had a couple of great tracks, but largely just more of the same. 10,000 Days is more of more of the same. The only desire I had after 10,000 Days was to listen to 4 Degrees on Undertow. ------------- ARTEMIA - http://www.reverbnation.com/artemiamusic" rel="nofollow - http://www.reverbnation.com/artemiamusic L.i.E. - http://www.reverbnati |

Easily their best album and easily the best metal album I have ever heard. the 2-part epic "wings" has to be the best song they ever did. It moves me and it is brilliant! I also love the grooves and catchiness missing in lateralus like the intro of "The Pot" (killer bass riff) and the chorus of Right in two. I don't think it's more of the same at all! They added so many new elements in this album!
However, I still cannot digest fully Jambi and Lost Keys/Rossetta Stone.

I was looking for that button too!
 Judging an album by its predecessors is very blinding in my opinion...Although the poll is sorta asking if you like it better or worse than the others.

Well that is quite a statement however I happen to fall into the category of peopleyou have dexcribed and it may be easy for you with hindsight to prey upon teenagers who have not figured every last detail of life such as all the older geniouses like yourself, who must be perfect. why else would you have the right to criticise an extrordinarily talented group of people and their fans as well. And obviously you havent paid a bit of attention to the message of the entire Lateralus album which is very positive and optimistic. And oh my god can any one belive the fact that Im sixteen years old and havent found my exact direction in life. How dare I not be born with an agenda in my mind of what I am supposed to do and what other humans I will tear down from now until the end of time. Maybe I should stop listening to tool and start trying to be more like you sir. Ive always wanted to end up being a bitter old man. I dont know if you are an old man but you seem to be. I personally dont beleive in god but if I did I would take the time to pray that I never end up like you.

I love it and a rate it equal to Lateralus. I actually have really hard
time to put Tool (full) albums in order, they are all different and I
love each one. |

Tool just get better and better each time, although it took me a while to like Lateralus just a tiny bit more than Aenima.But after the first spin 10000 Days beats them both.At last (unlike some reviewers have said) Maynards vox have been mixed up front of the instruments.That man has to be one of the most versatile prog singers on earth.Accapella(The Pot) or death scream he can do it all with emotion.It is nice to hear Adam and Justin experimenting with their sound more.And Danny....... ------------- "There is a lot in this world to be tense and intense about" MJK |

In order to fully appreciate 10,000 Days you need to listen to the album at least four or five times all the way through. Each time I listen to it all the way through I love it more each time! |

Okay ppl, I find 10k days a bbbbbbit inferior to Lateralus, but I voted 'Great, equal to Lateralus.' since the difference in my opinion is really small. This is an amazing album, the only problem I have with it are some of Maynard parts (eg, The Pot intro). Anywho, this is a MUST HAVE people!!! 5/5  ------------- http://www.last.fm/user/m0rtem/ - My Last.fm |

My first impression of the album was that I was glad it was different from lateralus. At the moment I would say that it is a fabulous album, but lateralus still strikes me as the better work. However, I'm liking it more and more each time i listen to it, so my opinion will probably change over time.

10,000 days is definately a lot different than Lateralus. The focus
seems to be more on creating moods and textures (Wings 1 and 2,
Intension, Rosetta Stoned) than on metal riffery (like Lateralus' Ticks
and Leeches, The Grudge, Schism, etc.) Guess it all depends on what I'm
in the mood for, but as of right now I prefer 10,000 Days.

Since it's quite clear to everyone at this point that you have no _desire_ to like Tool in the slightest, how about you stop bashing them with your redundant posts on the topic? Oh, and it's spelled waste. So far, IMO, 10,000 Days is a great album - but it's slightly inferior to Lateralus. My opinion might change with repeated listens, however. ------------- Pure Brilliance:
