New Tool Album: They really mean it this time. Maybe.

[NorthLoop 14203]

Well I know what I'll be listening to all day today at work

[housious 468]

7empest is fantastic

[Al_4_ISU 12463]

Fear Inoculum and Pneuma ate my entire commute this morning, but I dug both.  At this rate, it would take 2 days of commuting to hear the whole thing.

7empest... good lord.

I think it’s my favorite through my initial listen.

Adam Jones got to have fun for 15 minutes

[hornfan785 556]

This album is so good, and Danny Carey is pretty decent at playing the drums.

[Greg Davis Apologist 213]

 

I've been listening since 5am and think Pnuema and Culling Voices are great.

*7empest didn't originally download but I changed some settings on my phone and yeah, that song is nails...

[Al_4_ISU 12463]

The last 2 minutes of Pneuma are the high point of the album to me so far.

Skipped ahead to 7empest.  Bad ass.

[ConferenceRoom 6141]

It's a lot to unpack. Pneuma and 7empest definitely stood out. I'm going back in.

[Goofyboy 3293]

I’ll be missing the first Houston show, but knowing Tool, they will tour this for 5 years.

[ConferenceRoom 6141]

Probably going to gamble on another tour as well. Either they hit up Austin/Cedar Park again or I'll have an excuse to see family in the Pacific Northwest. 

[ConferenceRoom 6141]

I'm so happy that I avoided Invincible and Descending until now. Descending is monstrous. 

[Radical Larry 28609]

I love the last 4-5 minutes of Descending. I mean, the whole song is great, but I really fucking love the last 4-5 minutes.

[NorthLoop 14203]

[Jshep34 2308]

Will be at Houston show. Third time listening to album. Pneuma and 7empest are great. Tons of respect for Danny on how he can play drums . Love the beats, composition changes.

Half way through it, love it...

Definitely be at the Houston show.

[Lurch 5930]

Trying to avoid reading this thread, but just looping Pneuma so far and it’s fucking fantastic. Pure Tool. God damn

[Dr Fear 1268]

So it is official, 4,868 days between albums.  

[Bobby Light 76]

Album is amazing, and with most of Tool's work, just gets better the more you listen to it. I love there's no cookie cutter song for the radio.

 

Adam Jones is a legend

Edited August 30, 2019 by Bobby Light

[CooterBrown 18012]

Killing Joke is the tour opener.

Gonna be gud.

 

[Bobby Light 76]

I was for sure they would play the new Dickies Arena in Fort Worth, maybe next round I guess 😢

[housious 468]

Gotta say, I was really nervous about the album after they released the single earlier this month. But I'm a dumbass, it's awesome. 

[Pescado_Rojo 19416]

Hmmm...San Antonio is the day after my birthday.

On my second time through the album now. Invincible and 7empest are the two that jump out at me off the bat. We'll see how the others grow the more I listen.

[hornfan785 556]

Pneuma might be my favorite, but they're all great.

[Buzzrock 14920]

Pneuma is instantly evocative of Right In Two.

[CooterBrown 18012]

Listened beginning to end at least 4 times a today. Pneuma is my fav but all 6 songs are awesome.

[Buzzrock 14920]

[Radical Larry 28609]

[NorthLoop 14203]

After listening all day, I think Invincible is my favorite. I liked it when I heard the live one come out earlier this summer but I love the studio version. However, as with every other Tool album, my favorite will likely change a few times over the next few years before it settles on something. 

[CooterBrown 18012]

Introduced my 12 year old daughter to Tool this evening. She’s a big music fan and has pretty mature music taste for her age.

Her comment “It’s really good. I like that it’s not repetitive and they let the music go where it takes them.”

Made me proud. There’s hope for the future.

[ConferenceRoom 6141]

I was 12 when 46&2 changed my perspective on music. Spiral out. 

Edited August 31, 2019 by ConferenceRoom

[Radical Larry 28609]

Text from my son: Pneuma and 7empest are ridiculous. I've listened to the entire album twice tonight.

 

[ConferenceRoom 6141]

Call me a nerd but it’s fun to imagine some of these songs alluding to stories from Arrakis given the obvious Dune influence. I love this album.

[Lurch 5930]

It seriously exceeds all expectations. It will take months to fully digest. Just brilliant all around

[Radical Larry 28609]

Descending is coming on strong as my favorite right now. Jones and Carey are just fucking killing it on this album.

[Buzzrock 14920]

I’m actually looking forward to my 90 minute commute next week.

   Yeah Carey has always had some really cool percussion but I feel like on this one he was just like "hey guys I'm just gonna fuckin drum on this shit" 

[Lurch 5930]

1. Yeah Carey has always had some really cool percussion but I feel like on this one he was just like "hey guys I'm just gonna fuckin drum on this shit" 
   

There are a number of spots where I’m thinking “I’m going to need to see him play that live”

[hornfan785 556]

Listening to this album all the way through makes me feel like I'm at a live show. With how long the songs are and the interludes and even a drum solo, it just feels like an entire concert. Really looking forward to seeing them at that San Antonio date.

[NorthLoop 14203]

Caligula would grin 

[NorthLoop 14203]

I envy those of you with children old enough to enjoy Tool. I am currently taking joy in taunting my 9yo stepdaughter about the billboard rankings because she is a huge TSwift fan. I also blast Tool in the car on the way to cheer practice. She yells but nobody can hear her.
