Music Review: Tool - 10,000 Days by The Fat Boy
Fat Boy Music: Review: Tool: 10,000 Days
It seems to me that all recent Tool albums have one or two radio friendly songs, and then is basically a bunch of muddled white noise and bullshit. I'm sure its great stuff if all you do is sit around the house and smoke pot all day. I really feel like, with the exception of the tracks 1, 2 and 5, this is just another "phoned in" attempt at an album by tool. Tool fans will flame away, I am certain. I am sure that they love Maynard and they love the soundtrack to their little cyberpunk world. Radio friendly tool kicks ass. The entire "Undertow" album kicks ass. Unfortunately, by the look of this album, Tool is suffering from Dave Matthews Syndrome (DMS).
For those of you unfamiliar, DMS is a syndrome when a band becomes so popular, they finally reach a point of realization that they can spew forth whatever crap they want to onto a CD and their lemming fans will buy it. My theory actually states that Dave Matthews could release a double live album of himself taking a really long and painful crap and sell a million copies.
Here is my track by track analysis of "10,000 Days"
1. Vicarious: Awesome classic Tool sound. This sounds as good as anything that Tool has ever done. No surprise that it is the first single for the album.
2. Jambi: Begins with a cool old-school speed metal feel, but it tricks you because it never really cuts loose, but this is still a pretty damn good track. Two good songs in the beginning, the rest of the album is pretty depressing with the exception of #5, below.
3. Wings for Marie (Part 1) Muddled nonsense
4. 10,000 Day: Muddled nonsense part 2... 17 minutes to drone this crap... could have taken 1 minute and put it on a repeat for 17 and got the same result.
5. The Pot: Interesting falsetto singing in the beginning, and then right into some radio friendly tool... this one kicks ass.
6. Lipan Conjuring: Strange minute plus track of what sounds like American Indian chanting.
7. Lost Keys: More white noise crap. Maybe they lost the keys to the studio. Or the producer who knew what he was doing lost the keys to his car and couldn't make it this day.
8. Rosetta Stoned: Crap. But the title shows the mentality of the average Tool fan.
9. Intension: Crap, crap, crappity crap crap.
10. Right In Two: A bit whiney and boring for nearly 6 minutes, then it turns itself into a pretty cool song. If you can suffer through the six minutes, do it.
11. Vigniti Tres: No vocals... could be a cool backtrack for another Predator vs. Alien sequel though.
