Yeah I thought most of it was pretty cheese, and the autotune on Maynard's voice was killing me. Great drum sound though, and it started off promising. A bit too Jimmy Eats World meets Andrew Loyd Webber for me. Though I am a big fan of the Phantom of the Opera soundtrack.

Good Lord. This sounds appalling.

I've been warned off APC before by the ultra Tool fan I met in college that dragged me to all their shows just after Lateralus came out. That description sounds exactly as shitty as I imagined they sounded.

butts... dat pocahontas hair thought...

this gotta be one of the worst songs of 2018...

butts

I kinda love how unashamedly cheese that song is! Listened to the album again this morning and personally very much enjoying it.. is pretty soft radio rock but is very well done for what is.. just don't listen to it expecting Tool and you never know you might enjoy it!

Yea it's dripping with sarcasm

LOL that song is absolutely terrible!

lol

lol

New Tool instrumental music is featured in their promo vid for that music clinic thing they're doing.  Sounds like Tool, but Justin's playing the bass more like a guitar.

maybe I'll post in the right thread this time..

that sure is one boring as fuck track :P

You should attend one of their clinics so you can hear about the long laborious process that made it that way.

Yeah, 11 years to make something that sounds like it was based on something from 10000 days.. can't remember which track, don't care enough to look it up :P

A few points:

Pretty sure that's the riff Adam has been playing at live shows for 10 years.

Justin has pretty much always played bass (during some songs) like it was a guitar. That's not new.

It's likely empty and boring in part because there's room for vocals and/or this is just a demo.

Also before you start typing in response to that^ yes, the riff is and all is actually pretty boring for the most part. Just nothing much special going on there from my first listen, except....

The last minute gets pretty damned interesting to my ears. A bit different than I'd have expected, which is of course good.

It's not terrible.. but honestly, I really did expect them to have something a bit more interesting to show for the past 11 years.

That's why I said more like a guitar.... like just flat out strumming fuzzed out power chords at the end.  I'm trying to give them some kind of progress credit.  It's hard.

^haha got ya. You're right though, very true.

And modey, I mean it is just a teaser. Maybe even just a decent quality demo.

it's called descending or a/descending and it's a preview of a much longer track.
