vidmJun 14, 2006I'm fairly happy with most of the album. Lipan Conjuring, Lost Keys, and Viginti Tres should have been axed. They only detract from what is otherwise and excellent album.

MattPJun 9, 2006Beenlistening to it for several weeks now and like most Tool work the album takes repeated listening to fully appreciate. And now my favorite song changes from day to day, the album simply rocks, is not for the 30-second-attention-span crowd, and is being severly underrated by the critics but thats nothing new for Tool. Cant wait to experience it live.

JoshuaWJun 5, 2006REally don't want to get too deep into this one. its an amazing album. and if i had to rate it on the richter it would be a 10.1, whilst the other tool albums [ except undertow] would all be 10.9's.

RaulGJun 5, 2006Tool's new album 10,000 Days is perfect. It captures the mind and sends it to places where it is not always welcomed. Although at first listen, many Tool fans may be put off by some pieces, it is this which shows the prowess of Tool. The band is making music that most can not comprehend. 10,000 Days sounds like what music will sound like in the future, say 27 years from now.

MarcoMMay 27, 2006Is anybody compared songs "H" and "Third Eye" from Aenima with a "Rosetta Stoned"? There are parts from these songs.

JeffBMay 16, 2006I don't know why some of the other people are rating the 'album' low, but I can't stop listening to it. It is definitely an 'experience', and maybe you need to be in the right frame of mind to hear it, but I rate it equal to listening to Pink Foyd's Dark Side of the Moon while watching the Wizard of Oz.

JeffRMay 15, 2006Okay, first off let me start by saying.... Oh my god, this is simple the worst recorded noise that has ever hit the ears of humans. Please someone tell these waste of life noise makers to stop recording those noises. This is not music, this is pathetic garbage. I've made better noise out of my butt. Worst album of all-time, this is an undisputed fact!!!!!!!!!!!
-
-
RafaelMay 15, 2006I think this is an Excellent album. The tracks: Vicarious, Jambi and the Pot are great. There are some fillers, but that is always the case on any tool album (except opiate). The art work is interesting and complements other visual effects found in previous tool albums. The score should be a 9, but I gave it a 10 to rectify the average rating.

josakMay 13, 2006This is a good album, I mean c'mon, it's Tool; but this comes no where near close to the greatness of "Lateralus" -- in fact, it's not even in the same stratosphere. Regardless, it's still worth a listen. My complaints are pretty much the same as everyone elses, no need to get into that.

CHRISBMay 10, 2006the best TOOL song on the cd is vicarious,the rest of the album is slow,lumbering,meaningless self indulgent crap,and this is coming from a TOOL fan who first saw this band in a hole in the wall bar in TIJUANA. Man how i miss the times that this band truly rocked.
-
-
VigintiQMay 9, 2006Disappointing album on the whole. Other than The Pot, Jambi and Vicarious, nothing really moves me.
-
-
TakezoMay 9, 2006Maybe the worst album from Tool yet. Great bands always end up putting out a bad album, I just didnt think it would be this bad. Big step back for tool. Big step foward on 6/6.
-
-
KukudiMMay 9, 2006Definitely one of their best albums. It's their most mature yet. If you thought "Third Eye" off of Aenima was a complex song, you'll find at least 3 or 4 comparable ones on this album. Definitely requires multiple listens for full effect..

mikebMay 9, 2006Stunning new album, basically a mash of all their work extended to include more soundscape type tracks. Ignore the people saying they have made a perfect circle record. this is much more heavy and complex. The only similarity is the the vocals which is too be expected. Awesome.

CollinLMay 8, 2006Nothing out there more unique, powerful, and instramentally/vocally absorbing. Another interesting step for these briliant musicians.

shanetMay 5, 2006Scott s i could have not said it better myself. Honestly if tool were still making music like opiate, and undertow i would not still be a fan.... its the one band that has matured, and the only band that is still in my cd collection, when all the others faded away. I have grown up with tool, and as i have grown so have they. If you like tool, just get it! It's awesome.

BenTMay 5, 2006Tool's standard melodies come together disjointedly to create the first weak album in their catalog (compared to other tool records). Most of the record sounds like perfect circle out-takes.

NickMay 5, 2006Better after every listen. Though the album lacks the anthemic, driving sound found on earlier releases, the complexity and movement of the songs really make this a great record. Some may think it's pretentious, but if you sit down and let yourself completely engage in the musical movements, it stands out as Tool's finest work since Aenima.

frankieMay 5, 2006another chapter in the Book Of Tool...not one to pass up. Filled with hair raising breakdowns emotional lyrics. Better then any crap band could even dream about, these guys are gonna be in history books if you don't listen with an open mind then you don't deserve to listen at all. Tool is the best hands down.

chuckMay 4, 2006Excellent cd. Wings for marie and 10,000 days are as good as anything on any previous cd. I think it is more creative lyrically than Lateralus. Nothing is ever going to reach Aenima, that is something I accept, unfortunately tool is expected to surpass it and it probably isn't possible because Aenima was perfect.
-
-
WilliamJMay 4, 2006Lots of subtle and complex songs which get better with repeated listens, which is what I think we've all come to expect from Tool. Its nice to finally hear Adam show off some of his impressive skill with the guitar. I could do with a few more focused and aggressive tracks and less prog meandering. It's a great album but still doesn't top Aenima.

LucLMay 4, 2006Each album presents us with an evolution of the band. Although there are familiar elements of Lateralus here, the band seems determined to break new ground. I especially enjoyed Maynard James Keenan's vocals. He does not hesitate to show off his incredible versatility.
-
-
ZapBMay 4, 2006This album gets a 5. That's an average.. I give the songs written by TOOL a 10. I give the songs written by Yoko Ono a 0.. (number 9, number 9, number 9)

It's not only a step forward for the band, but a re-embracing of the epic-length rock songs found at the roots of early heavy metal.
-
When Tool sounds as good as it does on ["Jambi" and "The Pot"] 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."
-
Sounds exactly like you would expect a Tool album to sound.
