The Official Tool Thread

I'm hoping 2011, that would fit the 5 year pattern they've been going with since Aenima. I won't be surprised if it takes longer though.

Me either.... but it would be great to hear them again, with some nice fresh new ass kicking material...

Im not really an expert on Tool but I've never heard a Tool song I didnt like.

If its from youtube, copy the embed link and add [Y.OUTUBE][/YOUTUBE] around it. Without the period there, obviously.

As for me, I kinda hope they don't make any more music. 10000 Days was great and all, but they lost their edge. Opiate to Undertow to Aenima to Lateralus....all totally different from each other yet completely awesome. 10000 Days just sounded like Lateralus part 2 to me...unless they completely shift, I think they are done. I think Maynard knows it, too.

I don't know that they are done, but I think they better do something great on the next one. 10,000 Days was a bit too mellow in a sense, except for a few tracks. Good stuff but way toned down IMO. I know people age and mellow out, it happens with most bands. I just hope that if they do, the songwriting will still be great...or that they'll know when to stop.

Yeah, that's what I meant. I want the next one to be epic. The thing is...I think Maynard does know when to stop, so if it has to be done then it will be done. He cut APC short at just the right time to me. We were left with 2 amazing albums (and a decent covers album), and everyone wanted more. I think that is how a band should end.

Right now everyone still wants more Tool...which is a good thing. Either it is the perfect time to stop, or the next album will be THE album.

I have to disagree here...I don't see 10,000 Days as a continuation of Lateralus at all. To me it's yet another progression of both their sound and their lyrics. Lateralus to me is cold, unfeeling, the references to planets and mathematical curves and sequences almost numbing. I get this feeling sonically too, especially with tracks like Reflection and The Patient. 10,000 Days is personal. It's warmer. Maynard lets us into the emotional ride he was on after his mother's death, and instead of abstract, vaguely stated references to human nature, Maynard is now far more direct. I see the differences between Lateralus and 10,000 Days like the differences between night and day, and which album I prefer really depends on how I'm feeling on any particular day.
