Danny Carey said he wants to do two more Tool albums, im hoping they come up with another angry one like Undertow. but c'mon guys... this album is art.

I'l be going on September 29th just so I can see Isis play. For all you Tool fans who aren't familiar with Isis, and I'm sure it's a lot since I've seen no mention of them in this thread, do yourselves a favor and check them out. One of the best live bands out there. They have a somewhat similar style to Tool, but they're definitely on the heavier side, particularly with the vocals. Tool's Justin Chancellor actually plays bass on a track off their newest album Panopticon. Before you go to the show, just try to check out their Oceanic and Panopticon (my av) albums. Amazing stuff.

And here's a video of their track "In Fiction" off of Panopticon. This version is a little abbreviated compared to the album version, but it's still great.

what i can't figure out is why their tour isn't coming anywhere near the southeastern united states....no atl, no nc, no sc, no tn, no fla, no nothing

i'd have to drive to pennsylvania or ohio to see them. they've been here 5 times before. but not this year. i dont get it.

[Munchyman]

I've seen them 2 times, first time in the Roskilde festival 2001, and second time at roskilde this year. They ROCKED both times. The Roskilde festival is a huge annual festival in Denmark by the way, usually stacked with big bands.

Don't get me wrong. Compared to the rest of mainstream rock, Tool still kills. On pure talent alone, the band surpasses most bands combined. I've been saying that for over ten years now. It's just this album was full of the stuff that I don't personally care for in Tool, it's very enjoyable to listen to, but not to the degree of their previous efforts. You can obviously tell what I like in Tool that they've brought in the past.

What really put me off was toning down Maynard, equalizing the vocals with the rest of the instruments. He needs to blow shit out of the water. These guys still rock out with the cock out though, and it's going to be another long five year wait for the next album. But my guess it will be some more musical kick-assery.
