[Jarrod]

Yeah, that's what my friend said, get Aenima. I was thinking more accessible since I didn't know if I'd like them this much, plus this way I can work up to the best.

Aenima is not an easy listen. But once you get into it you can't stop listening to it. And it's one of those albums where you have to listen to it straight through. Except the interludes kinda get on my nerves sometimes.

[somnambulist]

Yeah, I like listening to my albums straight through, no matter what artist it is, unless there are crappy songs of course. My friend was skipping back and forth randomly and it was driving me nuts because I get the song order in my mind and it messes it up... I like those 'one continuous flow of music' albums, they're really cool. However if the interludes aren't very good (Mars' Frances) it's not as enjoyable.

 

Anyway, next I'll get Lateralus and then Aenima.

[borntohula]

don't let people fool you into thinking that undertow stinks. i had that opinion for quite some time and realized only recently how wrong i was. you'll really miss out if you overlook or underestimate that album.

[somnambulist]

I'll probably still get it, just the others first.

[saturnine]

tool's coming to hamilton april 29th

[Jarrod]

Really? I didn't realize they were still on tour.. I wonder if they'll be coming to Calgary

[saturnine]

just quebec/montreal/hamilton

[Monochrome Rainbow]

It's probably because of all the cowboys. Sorry Jarrod.

[shade]

WRONG!

 

[Hyphnip]

tool = Winnipeg Haters (well, not Maynard)

[shade]

SCARED AS HELL

 

I'd go if they busted out cold and ugly.

[shade]

Someone inform this topic when tickets are suppose to go on sale...would be cool.

Aenima is definitely the best Tool disc. Undertow is pretty good, that first disc isn't bad. Tool is in that select group of bands, that I can't skip a track on. I have to let it play through.

[Some Random]

i always skip over 'deviled eggs' and the one with the screaming baby on that album. i can listen to undertow the whole way through (though i haven't in years), and definitely lateralus. the new one's got more filler tracks like the stuff on aenima. i hate filler.

[Hyphnip]

I can listen to all of them the whole way through but I tend to get irritated with Die Eier Von Satan.

[shade]

Lateralus is their true masterpiece in my opinion. Its all good shit really.

[Hyphnip]

I don't know that I could pick one album as their best though.

[borntohula]

theres so much time in between each album that they're vastly different from one another, so yeah i definitely agree that its difficult to say one is better than the other. with other artists, its more clear because they release things more regularly.

[saturnine]

Tool will be rescheduling their upcoming North American tour due to an injury in the band. Over the weekend, drummer Danny Carey tore a bicep. Danny underwent surgery TODAY and is recovering well. Rescheduled tour dates will be announced shortly.

[Hyphnip]

I hope they can maybe add a few dates too... like Winnipeg. fuckers!

[saturnine]

well, they were heading west after hamilton, so it's possible.. although i would think they'd have added it before alberta.

[Hyphnip]

I've actually heard one of the members has a beef with Winnipeg. I don't know why though. I know Maynard has no problem with us because APC has played here a few times and Danny Carey was here with Pigmy Love Circus. I hate this city sometimes.

[shade]

I like how nobody mentions the cancelled tour due to Danny's Arm.

 

Ahh well.

[saturnine]

i totally did. where's my medal?

[shade]

WHAT THE FUCK
