Radiohead are pretty boring these days.

Seems like Radiohead fans like Tool as well, enough of them on this thread at the moment.

Their last album was boring yes, so was the last Tool album. Both bands are well over the hill and both bands have some annoying and obnoxious fans. But at their peak both bands released some great material.

Why the hate for 10000 Days? I thought it was a perfectly good album.

Forward To Death · 05-10-2013, 07:08 PM

10,000 Days is very good album. I don't think any less of it than the others really, but Aenima is still my fav.

That article doesn't do anything for me, it's just a whole bunch of ramble.

I just like their multi-dimensional concepts. 10,000 Days had its own just like their other albums. There's nothing wrong with anti-Tool-talk. I know they're not for everybody. They're just really intriguing in my opinion.

Oh and I don't really like Radiohead, so count me out. :P

As I mentioned about analysing Tool, it goes for fans of Tool as well. A lot of them act like they really understand music and try so hard to find the meaning of every song. It's kind of tedious and I don't believe Tool are the kind of band you sit and pick on.

I am so jealous, they are coming to Auckland but its sold out.

Yes I'm a radiohead fan and I'm still warming up to their most recent work.

I definitely enjoyed 10,000 doays and Aenima is my favourite album too! Do you have any particularly favourite tracks?

I'm not particularly into Tool but I'm familiar with the author of that review, Brent DiCrescenzo, and he is hands down the shittiest reviewer of any kind on the planet.

BastardofYoung · 05-12-2013, 04:59 PM

Yeah, he wrote this hilariously awful review.

"H" and "Third Eye" stand out, but there isn't a track that I don't love.
