New Tool Album Leaked
Brian Majestic:
First, bloody hell that's a huge avatar.
Second, James LaBrie oversings so horribly on occasion it makes my head spin much like the little girl from the Excorcist. In fact all the traits of supposed Tool fans mentioned in this here thread went double for all the Dream Theater fans back in my own high school.
I quite enjoyed Mike Patton's work with Lovage, though most of that is probably due to Dan the Automator and Jennifer Charles working with him.

I am going to openly admit that I got the new albumn today and squealed with glee as i ripped off the plastic packaging and flipped through the AWESOME visuals that accompany the albumn ... you get special glasses that make everything look hella trippy and the sound is crisp and fresha nd lush and toolishly good
Hat:
Yeah, the CD case is the weirdest fucking thing I've ever seen a CD come in. And I can't figure out why in the pairs of pictures, they have these incredibly subtle, almost unnoticable differences between each picture. I love the album, but I'm starting to think that Tool have gone over the deep end.
Borondir:
For me the biggest problem with Tool is not that they are particularly bad, but that their fans think they are the most amazing prog band ever, and absolutely worship Maynard. In reality they are a unique but still fairly average musically prog alternative rock band.
This is basically what everyone has been saying. Same goes for a lot of Dream Theater fans.
PS Since when has Mastodon been metalcore?
PPS Everytime someone writes DT in reference to Dream Theater, I think Dark Tranquillity. I like them more. They aren't incredibly virtuosic, but they write good songs.
BeoPuppy:
...and the ability to write a song, you know, head and a tail and all, is overlooked in prog-circles, I find.
