I think they stated last year year that they will aim to have a new album ready about 3 years after they finish touring the last one. Who knows if covid has changed those plans.
You just woke up one day in March 2019 after listening to aphex twin for 25 years and decided today is the day I’m going to finally post about one of the coolest bands of our times. Not yesterday, three months earlier or 15 years ago.
but today is that day.
how odd.
Attracts a different audience to typical metalheads so thought it could use its own thread.
within temptation had a great album last year and now loving the new nightwish album released this week.
simply epic.
anyone else like this stuff.
Apcs latest was much better. I had that on high rotation for a good two months. This tool album didnt even last a week for me and I have had some of their other albums on high rotation for 15 years.
It is softer then other tool albums. It doesnt have great vocals which is usually the highlight...
No there are objective things (from the point of view of humanity) about music and art that make them good. If it was completely subjective then on average everything would be equally as popular.
Vocals are rare and when they are there they are mostly boring. Musically its not all that interesting either.
The people who like this album are no different to the people who like the irishman. They have convinced themselves it must be good because of the previous body of work, long wait and...
Their last concert here 6 years ago was still pretty awesome although the decline had started. Will have to look into how their recent concerts are going?
Easily their worst album. 10 thousand days is even a level above this.
This is a bigger disapointment than the final season of game of thrones.
The musical writing on this album is attrocious. Too repetative and plain boring.
I started out disapointed with this album and the more I listen to it (at least eight times now) the more I think this album is a joke album to highlight how humans are herding idiots and will think something they want to be great is actually great despite it being absolute rubbish. The rumour 6...
Music is very nice but there simply isnt anywhere near enough of Maynard ripping out the awesome vocals and that's what has always elevated tool above the rest.
Sigur Ros album after agaetis was a bit weak and thus dont make this list. They are in the top 5 bands of all time though. Along with Tool who are arguably number 1. Tool are a level above all the other metal bands you mention including Metallica.
Good choice on Isis though. Great underrated band.
