Editorial Review: Discount Shopping: Sonically relentless and visually groundbreaking only begin to describe the Tool experience. Formed in Los Angeles, CA in 1990, Tool has cemented themselves in today's hard music community with uncompromising attitude and vision. With just one EP and three album releases over a 15-year span, Tool has created a loyal and even rabid fan base, selling over 10 million albums and half a million videos in the U.S. alone.

Discount Shopping: With a majority of the songs on 10,000 Days clocking in well past the seven-minute mark, you wouldn't be entirely mistaken in thinking that the title of the album refers to how long it actually takes to make it through the whole thing. Two of the tracks--the sitar and tabla enhanced "10,000 Days (Wings Part 2)" and its suitably epic psych-rock sister "Rosetta Stoned"--even linger on for nearly a dozen leisurely minutes each. That's delightful news for the legion of Tool fans that have been waiting five years for the follow-up to 2001's Lateralus, which debuted at number one and sold 2.3 million copies in the United States. Singer Maynard James Keenan is back on mystical form after his hiatus with the politically slanted A Perfect Circle, sounding at once ethereal and eloquent as he calmly charges through the metal tempest of the opening track "Vicarious." The rest of the band, meanwhile, hits a series of high-flying moments with tracks such as "Jambi" and "The Pot." When Tool sounds as good as it does on these songs it's hard to get enough. Which makes it all the more baffling that a surprisingly large chunk of the disc is given over to mood-enhancing soundscapes like "Lost Keys" and "Vigniti Tres." Who has time for filler? --Aidin Vaziri Average Rating:
 Rating:  - Best-ever 3-D artwork!The staged 3-D photographs are nice enough, but the Alex Grey art, in stereo pairs, is transcendental. Is no one paying attention to this breakthrough? Thanks to Tool and to Alex Grey for pointing out the cosmic necessity of 3-D--maybe the only way to 'get it.' Rating: - Great AlbumI actually gave this album 5 stars. if it shows up as none that was an error. I think this album takes longer to get into that their other albums but if you give it the time it will certainly reward you. Some songs are slower and longer but they are cetainly epic, try listening on headphones with no distractions!! IF YOU LIKE TOOL check out SHIRLOW. they have new tracks up from the new album but you cant buy it from here yet www.myspace.com/shirlow Rating: - Further proves that Tool are one of the most talented bands in music.While I would have deemed 10,000 Days the worst Tool album to date a couple of months ago, I have given it enough time to decide that it is slightly better than Undertow. The sheer quality of the album is simply shadowed by how difficult and limit pushing the music is. Every song on the album is in some way a new exciting revelation for Tool, who having been out of the studio for five years really had to prove that they weren't loosing their touch. Some familiar aspects of Tool are still here. The ...

I'll admit--upon hearing it, I was a little critical of it all as well, mainly because of the lack of songs. I thought the album was way too short, not because of the runtime but because there is only really "Vicarious," "Jambi," "Wings for Marie/10,000 Days," "The Pot," "Rosetta Stoned," and "Right In Two" that are actually songs with strong vocals--the rest are ambient fillers. I'm not at all being negative, because ... Read More Rating: - MasterpieceThis album is astounding. The music is complex, experimental, ornate, passionate, and at times very strange. There are no filler tracks here; instead you find 11 thought-provoking, powerful pieces of art. The actual artwork is the same quality as the music, especially when viewed through the stereoscopic glasses. In short, Tool shatters and incinerates the status quo with this tribute to singer Maynard James Keenan's mother. Browse for similar items by category:
