I admit I was slow in hearing about VP but I got the album about 6 weeks ago, so maybe a few months at most. 
Besides, you're late to EVERY party, not just some. |

i keep forgetting. come on send me a copy i'm poor 
Chevelle man, they're a good band. I've never heard a band stick with 6/8 timing for the most part and have it always sound good. I'll tell you what, for a three man band, they have a really heavy, badass sound.
His vocal style is strange though, it's always like: two words, pause, two words, pause, two words pause.
Newest cd is a bit more evolved though, everyone criticizes it but I think it's fantastic. |

Rly? Vena Sera is my least favorite album of theirs. I saw them live and the ones I enjoyed the most were the older ones like SMA, Comfortable Liar, Send the Pain Below, and etc. I wish they would have played more from the first album. There was a point when it came to the last song and he asked, "Should we play a newer song or an older one?" Everyone was like, "OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOLD!!!!!!!!!!!111111111111111" 
Oh and his voice was really weird. It was a lot higher than usual and when he talked he almost had that "gay voice" sound (not to stereotype but you know what I mean). It was weird and not what he sounds like on live videos on Youtube and etc.Lay off the helium before your concerts.  |

when I said evolved, I meant that they've gotten off the broken vocals and 6/8 time a bit. I'm not saying that's good or bad, but evolved nonetheless. and you're right, I definitely like This Type of Thinking and WWN way better, specifically TToT, but unlike everyone else I didn't hate the Senior album.
That's strange about his voice, I never would have expected him to have a..... um, "gay voice" as you so eloquently put it He doesn't sound particularly manly, but he sings like a guy with a normal guy voice haha. Wow, you're right, lay off the HE, bro.
I think when Joe, the third brother/bassist quit, they lost some sort of "togetherness" and their sound changed accordingly. They don't seem to have it together as much as unique, thick, hearty sound is concerned, despite their evolution to a more "popular" sound. I do like the new album nonetheless, but definitely prefer the middle two.
I'm going to amazon the first one right now haha.
we've taken over this thread haha |

P.S.
My buddy's working in my area at work and he brings his iPod in everyday for us to listen to and he downloaded some Tool for me, (legally of course  ) and I laughed because his selection was something that you would pick out, what with the Third Eye and Harry Manbacks of the world.
There was no fan favorites like Aenima or Sober on that mix hahaha. |

Another complaint I have about Vena Sera is, it sounds way too studio produced and made for the radio. That album is just a compilation of songs that didn't make it to the other albums so they just threw them in to fulfill their contract (no, I'm not making that up). It definitely lacks emotion and etc.
Anyway, as for your PS post ----
Third Eye isn't a filler track (last track on Aenema). It's pretty long but it's good, especially the end. PRYING OPEN MY THIRD EYE
Harry Manback is just weird. I don't know why he would want to share the rantings of some immigrant over some real music. Why'd he download Tool for you? I thought you already had it all. Tomorrow I'm gonna run to the store and pick up 1 or 2 albums (and eventually get them all) just because I feel they definitely deserve my money (even the shitty small percent of it that isn't taken from the label  ) with all of the musical enjoyment they've given me. They are definitely my favorite artist for sure and I can't wait for their next album.  |

yeah dude, you know what's fucked up? when I say "evolved" that is ultimately what I meant. =turned into a studio band. Sad, eh? Originality is dead. I still stand by the fact that I liked the songs, but that was just that, I liked the tunes. Period. I didn't know that that was a forced album. You learn something new every day. So thanks.
Yes, I do have all the Tool, but since we only listen to his iPod all day, he downloaded some to his iPod cuz he knows I like it. I wasn't suggesting Third Eye was a filler track, (even if I said that) I really just meant that it is one of those kind of odd tracks/songs that you don't expect to hear on a playlist haha. plus it's 15 minutes long. And maynard has come out and said that it won't be five years between albums this time. You know, at first, I wasn't all that impressed with this new album, having waited five years for it, however, after all of our discussions and finding that weird combo track, I have a total new respect for the amount of time that must have actually gone into that.
They are my favorite artists too and I wish more people that wouldn't think to listen to them would give them a shot and try to understand some of the crazy shit that is actually going on in the music. It's unfortunate if you don't play an instrument or have musical knowledge because you really really miss out on a lot of stuff by them if you don't.
And Twon, thanks for making me laugh, as usual |

Yeah I'm a Tool missionary. I'm trying to get a friend into Tool (different one than the one mentioned earlier) but he's Christian and he doesn't like how Tool is anti-religion and all. I got him to agree to listen to some tracks. Here's what he's getting --
- Disposition
- Parabol
- Parabola
- Reflection
- Stinkfist
- H.
- Right In Two
- No Quarter (cover)
- No Quarter (orginal Led Zeppelin version)
- Pushit
- Intolerance
He doesn't like stuff that's too hard-rocking so I kind had to get make it less "wild."
And... I forever thank tylerc for getting me into Tool. I had a few songs of theirs before like Prison Sex and etc but tylerc sent me a bunch that really got me into them.

It's The Gaping Lotus Experience. It's at the end of Opiate (the song, and technically the EP lol).

It's okay until he pisses on your lighter
Kinda smells kinda cool kinda funny anyway

I had a friend once he took some ecstasy
Tried to marry me and every one in the room
He was sort of loving kinda caring,
kinda tried to fuck my lazy boy
It got a bit messy all over the curtains,
arm chair covers, throw pillows, and carpeting
satan, satan, satan...
I'm getting bored again... |
Very random and strange. I wish it was its own track instead of being at the end of Opiate though because I listen to Opiate a lot and I don't like the annoying silence at the end. I'd rather have it just go to a different song once it's over. |

Dave Matthews and Tim Reynolds are playing a free show at Assembly Hall here at IU in support of Barack Obama, but also to raise awareness about voting. FTW!!!!! |

and the crowd cheered.

Yeah. Tool can't be taken lightly.
If you're going to cover it, you need to know your shit. Opiate, fine, maybe not so much, as this is before they started going all crazy with their timings and instrumental prowess and it's a bit easier to cover, but if you're going to do it, you HAVE to do it right.
Limp Bizkit failed miserably.
Fred Durst is a bum.
Why is he famous? |
