There is a new Tool song - Page 4

Shadaloo · 08-26-2019, 09:18 AM

It's allright. Nothing to obsess over. Sounds like your typical Tool record, and very, very much like Lateralus in terms of atmosphere. Decent.

FoolofaTook · 08-26-2019, 09:37 AM

yes there's been really no growth since lateralus. like you said, it's solid, but nothing new. that's why i got bored with them.

ninsp · 08-26-2019, 12:05 PM

I really like the new album, and it’s going to be raved about like a masterpiece, whether or not that’s deserved is debatable, but it’s pretty great, IMO.

ninsp · 08-26-2019, 12:38 PM

The story of how it leaked is fucking hilarious btw

toase · 08-27-2019, 07:35 PM

sounds so much like an outtakes album, it makes no sense after all this time

Eulogy · 08-29-2019, 06:53 PM

Guess I’m just listening to it in the morning lol. It’s gonna have to be broken up which is kind of a bummer.

Eulogy · 08-30-2019, 09:15 AM

First two tracks: lame intros (if you don’t have one as good as eulogy or flood just don’t do it), don’t earn the length, but the second halves are good.

Invincible is great. Halfway through descending and liking it.

ninsp · 08-30-2019, 10:51 AM

7empest is the fucking GOAT on the album

smashingjj · 08-30-2019, 12:23 PM

greatest of all time of the album?

I was nervous after the second track but pleasantly surprised by the rest

ninsp · 08-30-2019, 12:54 PM

Got the fancy version of the album just now.

Mals Marola · 08-30-2019, 01:48 PM

well i got a 2-3 hr trip to New Orleans today & my gf's a huge fan so something tells me this'll be occupying a good chunk of that drive

FoolofaTook · 08-30-2019, 02:08 PM

You could just listen to Feedbacker instead, for the love of Michael Campbell, PhD.

Mals Marola · 08-30-2019, 02:25 PM

you know what

i just might!

Mals Marola · 08-30-2019, 02:26 PM

may even open the proceedings with a special, yet utterly empty & meaningless prayer dedicated to the Campbell King himself

Eulogy · 08-30-2019, 02:41 PM

All the reviews are saying pneuma is a highlight. Maybe driving in traffic is a bad environment for it lol

Overall I like it and I’m glad I have it and will listen to it. It’s being very well received critically so far.

Still think we can cut some of these intros though.

FoolofaTook · 08-30-2019, 02:44 PM

Eulogy pls calm down.

Mals has decided to dedicate his drive to Boris' seminal album, Feedbacker, in honor of the esteemed Professor Michael W. Campbell (BA Southern Adventist University, MA Andrews University, and PhD Andrews University [2008]).

Mals Marola · 08-30-2019, 03:23 PM

do the intros ******* the interludes? i've heard tell of many interludes, of which i'm sure we could find a few to cut while we're still in the cutting mood

Mals Marola · 08-30-2019, 03:23 PM

pardon my language

FoolofaTook · 08-30-2019, 03:24 PM

whatever you do, don't cut the feedbacker intro.

No. I enjoyed the interludes.

Eulogy · 08-30-2019, 03:36 PM

Cut out 90 seconds from each of the first two tracks and they’d be better.

Eulogy · 08-30-2019, 03:36 PM

Like Danny dude just play the drums thx

lol Pneuma is pretty lackluster imo. Not as boring as Descending or Fear Inoculum, but Pneuma doesn't sound new or creative. Besides the verses reminding me a lot of Schism, there's a reoccouring chorus-like riff (without any vocals though), which is very similair to a riff from The Patient. (For comparison, https://youtu.be/5ClCaPmAA7s?t=335, and https://youtu.be/rDrhI1GUnNg?t=140).
I do like the slow buildup that starts at around 6:30, I think that is the best part of the song.

Eulogy · 08-30-2019, 04:37 PM

Oh there are things that remind me of the patient, pushit, and Jambi

But I like those all so shrug

Eulogy · 08-30-2019, 04:38 PM

To be clear I am not spending $47 on a cd. I have Apple Music

panda show · 08-30-2019, 04:51 PM

Most of the album is just basically a hodge podge of sounds and riffs done on previous records. Like I said earlier in the thread, the only songs that stand out for me are Culling Voices and 7empest, the first one because it sounds original and interesting, unlike anything they've done before, and the second one because it's a powerhouse on all fronts, and I think it's the only song on the album which redeems its long length. So many breakdowns, switch ups and instrumental parts which aren't boring as fuck.
