But I know I'm wasting my words with most of you childish gaylords. 

lol’d me

Track didn’t really grab me. Lyrics kinda cringe. I also didn’t immediately dig the first single from Lateralus (forget the name) but loved the album. 

Hoping for the same this time around. 

Nothing matters to me except whether or not the music is fresh, ballsy and well produced. No Rogan, chargeable screen, wtfever

i think the only true way into deep, spiraling TOOL fandom is to discover them as a TEENAGE pseudo-intellectual stoner who hasn't had a girlfriend.

checks out

Fuck tool i'm gonna play sime c33phax

It must have taken so long to release this because of the work they put into the graphic design of the cover, lovely text design.

I like the song just fine. It's pretty average Tool though and I hope there are at least a few songs on this that will become classics in their discography. It is worrying when their album title track song is just decent. I hope this isn't going to be as meh as the last APC album Maynard did.

Tool was one of my first 'favorite bands'. When I started listening to music. Though I'd say I liked A Perfect Circle a little more than Tool at the time. Thirteenth Step was my first 'favorite album'.

i like descending and invincible better, so far. i think we will find the new songs to be more distinct, in their own ways. tool always kind of forms these "tool songs" that coalesce around some elemental observation. because they spent 12 years jamming, i think the songs may have even more concentrated personalities. descending seems to be their "save the earth, get our shit together" call. invincible is an introspective meditation that nicely focuses energy on being in the moment. i don't know what the title track is about yet. trying to not over-listen.

Well, this song is pretty boring boys...

has it leaked yet?

Potentially track will sound better in context I think. I actually really like it. Especially the outro with the burning distorted riff. 

I do hope the rest of it is even moree experimental though. Lateralus is an absolute classic in my book.

I don't know how it comes that Lateralus is their only album I never listened. I'll fix that.

Yeah Lateralus is genuinely something quite special I think. I'll shut up now tho. Hope you're all well!

i like that one of the few songs they put up on youtube is useful idiot

tracklist revealed:

keen to hear that closing track, Sevenempest.

Chocolate Chip Trip

Never heard of Tool before but the track sounds good, I have nothing to compare it with anyway. 

Came to watmm for electronic music, stayed for the rock music I guess

Woah tracklisting seems kinda short when not looking at the bonus tracks. Though I think I heard somewhere once that the tracks will all be fairly long and it'll still have an hour runtime (again not counting bonus)

some reviews are out.

If 15 year old me liked deftones, radiohead and mogwai, will 35 year old me like tool? Never heard em so wondering if I should give a shit.

yeah, it's a decent bet.
