Nu har jag alla Tools studioalbum. Köpte Undertow idag och hade tänkt lyssna igenom den imorgon.

Tool=Loot baklänges.

OH WOW

Satan vad bra Undertow är. Lättsam, välproducerad och fullständigt underbar. Synd bara att sista spåret (Disgustipated) känns lite onödig. Tio minuter syrsor som låter i natten, yeah liksom..

Detta kanske redan har postats, men här kommer det i alla fall!
Läste en artikel på cracked.com om dolda easter eggs, och där fanns 10 000 Days med.
Tydligen är det så att om man spelar upp först Viginti Tres, sedan Wings for Marie (Part 1), för att till sist lägga 10 000 Days (Wings part 2) över det hela så synkas det till en ny låt. Alla de konstiga ljuden i Viginti Tres passar in rätt bra i 10 000 Days första halva, och det blir en häftig effekt på outrona i Wings 1 och 2.
Här är låten.

Här är låten.

Ganska wicked fan!


Tools videor är nog de coolaste videorna, mest för dess randomness och att man verkligen inte fattar ett skit. Har Ænema, Parabola, Ticks & Leeches samt The Pot som favoriter. Underbara låtar.

Är ju bättre att bara lyssna på låtarna i ett nedsläckt rum med antingen bra högtalare eller (helst) otroligt bra hörlurar.

Lite kul att några sekunder från Wings for Marie (Part 1) spelades i bakgrunden under en fråga i kvällens På Spåret (15:30).

"All right, moving forward. No matter how many new TOOL tunes are currently complete, I will personally guarantee that the new CD will be released on MAY 22, 2012 (or MAY 15, 2012)"

Härligt, ett år går snabbare än vad man tror

"TOOL fans will be used to the long wait between albums, but there is one peice of bad news here to disappoint the legion; and that's the band have decided to cut down on touring periods, Keenan is essentially getting too old for the Rock ‘n' roll lifestyle:

-"Physically, I can't do it, so that's not gonna happen,"

But don't despair just yet! stop pointing that gun in your face, take the magazine out and place it in a draw for now, ‘cos this doesn't mean that they're going to stop touring, just that future tours will be less extensive

"-We will tour, but it won't be the old-school dog-and-pony show of eight months of beating yourself to death."
Some consolation, but now that there will fewer gigs in a tour, the race for tickets will become some sort of violent blood sport, just pray that decide to gig in your country!

So there you have it, come back in a minimum of two years for the album review!"

Vad säger ni?
Riktigt synd att dom skär ner på turnerandet, känns som att chansen att få se dom i Sverige är ganska liten numera.

Jag ber för att de ska komma till Metaltown i sommar.

Från Tools hemsida för någon vecka sedan:

At a time when the headlines are dominated by frenzied Amish beard clippers, whooping cough and Occupy Wall Street (Forget that - how about Occupy the Playboy Mansion, all you 69 per centers!), rather than discuss the thawing permafrost, Sandusky, or baffling Gamma ray bursts, how about some exciting TOOL-RELATED NEWS... That's right - while most of you were still digesting your Thanksgiving bird, highly acclaimed recording engineer and producer (not to mention vintage candy aficionado!) 'Evil' Joe Barresi was seated at the mixing console in the band's home studio - the only evidence of the holiday being a bowl of pumpkin-pie cheesecake Kit Kats that was placed there by one of the girls from Tool's business management. Believe it! Hours after your cranberry sauce was still jiggling, members of the band had gathered at the loft to begin tracking. For these VOLTO! sessions, the place looked like a gear-junkie's wet-dream, and with the 'evil' one deftly punching in bars on the remote control, as the night wore on, song after song -in all their musical complexity - were being captured on tape (Yes, tape! For this record, a Studer A827 "Gold Edition" analog tape recorder had been trucked in.) By the time of my much-anticipated arrival on Tuesday, almost all of the tracks were finished, as were the holiday confections. With the loft now littered with empty Tommy's burger wrappers and spent cans of Red Bull, as guitar riffs processed through an antique Echoplex wailed over the KRKs, stories were being told about Danny recently making a daring escape in his orange Lambo from Mastros steakhouse in Beverly Hills (where a side of lobster mashed potatoes goes for $30.00) - the entire thing caught by TMZ's cameras... although the crowd cheers are probably still lying on the proverbial cutting room floor. And now, with you being down to your last leftover turkey sandwich, with but a few overdubs to add, you can bet that the boys will be back at it tonight...

But what about TOOL's new album, you ask? Are they still making progress with the writing and arranging sessions? Will they be working during the holidays as a Gamma ray-mutated pterosaur tramples on foreclosed gingerbread houses? Absolutely! (for the quintillionth time), only with a festive pear-cinnamon cider replacing the Volto! Red Bulls. Actually, I've even seen part of a video from the band's next record - albeit this occurred during a strange time-slip that I recently experienced while pushing a shopping cart down one of the aisles at my local Ralphs (a place where cracks in paratime somehow seem to happen regularly). While looking for *********, I saw some guy wearing a programmable display (UV) TOOL 'video' tee-shirt. Glancing at it, I could hear the haunting sonic structure of one of the new songs accompanied by the bizarre, vibrant, Adam Jones imagery (yes, on the soft, flexible 'screen' material - which, of course, was made from the best quality cloth-plants). Wait a quark-flipping minute! Had I pushed the screeching cart many years into the future? Entranced by the dude's shirt, I watched as purplish amoeba-like things with a tangle of feelers morphed into intensely-colorful creatures. These were frightening, writhing chimeras and other mind-boggling bio-oddities of a demented (er... creative) mind. Were these some kind of "Saucer Wisdom" inspired piezoplastic receivers transmitted from Adam's thought-forms, or had he simply recorded one of his favorite nightmares?

(Had one of the band members themselves appeared in the video, I would have checked to see if any hair was blowing in the wind - just one of several tell-tale signs of a recorded dream.) Either way, how amazing were the images! (Cooler than watching a night janitor at McDonalds on fully charged quantum dot batteries in the flicker of strobe lights).

As I continued to observe the bedizening mental cartoons - snippets of some intricately detailed hyper-animation - I noticed that the guy wearing the Tool shirt was NOW accompanied by band-member semblances (decoy band-member semblances, I wondered?) Recognizing me, the Danny 'semblance' raised a half-full polyglass of some glittering black eagletail. As I was about to acknowledge this wonderful example of encrypted electromagnetic vibrations, I quickly found myself back at the Ralphs of November, 2011 e.v. And guess what happened next? You guessed it. I've heard of MIB types attempting to eat their green Jell-o with a straw, or even sticking a fork into a glass of Dr. Pepper. Hell, I've even seen one of the black hat boojums pay for a Whopper at Burger King with a handful of gleaming silver dollars - not to mention the dude who ordered a "Coke and Olives" at my neighborhood pub. But what this MIB-type did was really a dead giveaway. How so? Well, while at the checkout counter, along with his groceries, 'he' PURCHASED (there on the spot) Ralphs gift cards for $20.00 each (PLUS activation fees), which he wanted to use to pay for everything. Noticing the puzzled look on the cashier's face, I quickly left my stuff on the counter and hurried out of the place... wanting desperately to get back to my enchanted green ball... I mean, to my apartment...

Finally, to address all those Tool tour rumors. A few days ago, I met with the band's management in order to discuss this very thing. Although I wasn't sure if there was any validity to the rumors, I nevertheless told their manager that a small winter tour might not be such a bad thing. However, given my age, I didn't think that I'd be able to attend too many shows as a guest (at least, I wouldn't be able to attend them with the same vigor that I used to). I certainly didn't want to travel on the tour bus, as the bunks hurt my back. Also, my excessive snoring might keep some of the early riser band members awake at night (particularly Danny and Justin). And then there's the issue of the bad weather - both here and in Europe. Some dates in Australia would be okay, but with the recent discovery of an albino trapdoor spider in the land DownUnder, I'd have to rule that out, too. Perhaps some shows in the southern states might be best. Maybe even Texas? How about just a show or two right here in Los Angeles? That would certainly make things easier for me. I might even be able to party like I used to in the good old touring days. Better yet, still, what about an electromagnetic radiation transmitted (as theorized by Rudy Rucker, among others) - reconstituted/manifested Tool concert (including personality wave guests with all-access laminates) anywhere on the entire planet? Now, that would be great!.. Especially with those programmable display tee-shirts available at the Merch booth...

Följt av en bild på ett mixer-bord. Vilket betyder (som texten säger) att de har släpat sig in i studion. Tagga nytt album!

Fyfan vad grymma Tool är! Hoppas de drar på Europa-turné snart

Lyssnar igenom 10.000 Days nu. Vicarious, den låten är en bra starter, en av Tools bästa låtar.

Jag saknar bara Undertow med Tool.

Jag älskar soundet på skivan Undertow kommer lite på högre platys än 10,000 Days. Intolerance och Prison Sex är heta titlar, speciellt Prison Sex! XD.

Lista hur albumen rankas? Vilket är bäst och vilket är mindre "bäst"? ^^

1. AEnima
2. Undertow
3. 10.000 Days
4. Lateralus

Alla är en grym skiva!

Kan inte bestämma mig ang Lateralus och Ænima. Hur som helst följer 10.000 Days och till sist Undertow.

Ænima
Lateralus
10.000 Days/Undertow

Undertow älskar jag bara mera och mera. Prison Sex har ju en av dom bästa riffen jag har hört. Lyssna bara på introt.
Jag skulle gå så långt att det får en 5/5 av mig, Ungustipated är bara så unik egentligen, det finns inget liknande. Vilken annat band skulle kunna veta att ljud av syrsor skulle låta så bra med hörlurar inproppade när man ska sova?

Detta är Tool! Ingen annan kan komma på sådant här typ. Väldigt unikt.

Många bra riff igenom hela skivan, varje låt har någonting att komma med och blir aldrig enformigt.


En sak fattar jag inte, Lateralus lever inte upp till de andra Tool Albumen. ;( Vad är det för fel? Jag kan inte lyssna på The Grudge så bra, jag vill verkligen tycka om låten starkt, men jag vill veta vad folket ser i den låten som gör att ni gillar den låten?

Lateralus har självklart låtar jag verkligen gillar bl.a. Schism (en av Tools bästa låtar) och Parabola (Ett av Tools bästa låtar riffmässigt.) Personligen den enda skivan med Tool som inte riktigt får 5/5 utan 4,5/5 någonting där, vilket fortfarande är awesome!

Stinkfist var låten jag först hörde med Tool och det är min favoritlåt med Tool. AEnima (PW hur hör man AE?) är guld värd.
När jag tänker på Tool är Stinkfist jag tänker på direkt det är den bästa Toollåten!

Nu får vi bara invänta Tools nästa album som ska komma nästa år sent 2013.

men jag vill veta vad folket ser i den låten som gör att ni gillar den låten?

Älskar soundet, hur låten är uppbyggd och utvecklas och så, texten. Kan annars inte riktigt sätta ord på varför jag gillar specifika låtar. De inger en känsla liksom. Musikalisk njutning. Vette fan hur jag ska säga det.

(PW hur hör man AE?)

Hur Æ uttalas? Som Ä.

Just nu är jag.. förväntansfull. Tools turnéschema är direkt avgörande för hur jag lägger upp festivalsommaren. Snälla, kom till en Europeisk festival så är jag där - längst fram....

^ Jag skulle hellre se Tool när de headlinar själva.
