Are there any DL tool fans ? I suspect @Wiseblood might be. Thoughts on new album?

i had 8 listens today. Like.

You suspect correctly!

Really like it at the moment.  It sounds Tool enough without being too similar to previous records.  You can hear the influence on past albums throughout, though.

Very happy with it!

It sounds like 1994.

I like it, will I reach for it over other albums... prob not.

Also prob didn’t help that it dropped pretty much the same day as the new Imperium Dekadenz album, them being one of my all time fav bands means the Tool album isn’t getting as much love.

Like it but it's not what I was expecting.  Sounds a bit like Carey, Jones and Chandler invited 'the APC singer' over to their long weekend jam session.

They lost me at Lateralus.

Yeah the new Kampfar I have on limited vinyl, it’s amazing. Heard the new MGLA and i5s great as well, just saw both of them at Brutal Assault last month. Kampfar were the band of the whole festival. All their equipment got lost in transit and they came out with a raw set that blew me away.

Do you listen to Imperium Dekadenz? If not check out their albums Procella Vadens and Meadows of Nostalgia, both amazing, the new record is damn good as well.

Will check them out though for sure.

Love old school death Metal too. But I love Black metal prob more. Grew up on Death, Morbid Angel, Morgoth, Vader, Grave, Carcass etc but once I heard Emperor, Dark Funeral, Immortal, Satyricon etc I was hooked.

All good !

 

I’m just waiting for Rage to get their act together - a band for the times.

Yeah I really liked it and listened to it probably 10 times the first day. Over the weekend a friend cranked Invincible in his car with his fairly sweet sound system. Classic Tool. Do I put it ahead of Aenema or Lateralus? No. Still very good though.
