Default It just occurred...10,000 Days

Um, so I've been thinking about this record quite a bit the last few minutes. And it occurred to me, it couldn't possibly have taken Tool any more than 2 months or less to write this entire record. The only real cohesive songs on the whole thing were Vicarious, Jambi and The Pot. The rest is either pure trickery (makeshift unorganized jams like Wings/10,000 Days and Rosetta Stoned), mere ideas (Intension/Right in Two), or filler (Lipan Conjuring and the lame soundscape of Viginti Tres). Yes, there are really no more than 3 cohesive songs on this whole record, and there's no way they took years to write, not even half a year.

Tool do not take a long time to release an album because of the great care that goes into their thoughts and their songwriting. They take a long time because they don't actually have any ideas.

Discuss.
