I loved Tool's new album 10,000 Days. The first single, Vicarious, was released by accident around 4/20/06. In this song Maynard James Keenan perfectly symbolizes most people's desire for drama, or tragedy. He especially focuses on the news media. You can't help but notice how the media can be compared to a pack of hungry wolves, when it comes to getting a good story. The title 10,000 Days is taken from the time his mother spent paralyzed, until the year that she died. 10,000 days is around 27 years, and in the songs Wings For Marie/10,000 Days, the main topic is Maynard's mother. To be honest I'm not completely sure what this next song is about.....maybe they were high...haha...but The Pot, is one of the best songs on the new album. The band hasn't had this kind of intensity in quite a long time. The only way I can compare it, is to some work off the Aenima album. Maynard's vocals sound like it was, "..back in '93, on the first EP". Jambi is the second song on the album, and Adam Jones has a sick solo with his guitar + talkbox. The song, Right In Two, is so good you're going to have to just buy the album and listen to it. Overall this is probably the second best album, in my opinion. The 2001 album, Lateralus, is one of the best Metal albums period. 10,000 Days is fantastic, but doesn't quite top Lateralus. Listening to both albums however, you have to sit back and play them a few times, just to digest what the band's singing about. If you haven't got a copy of 10,000 Days, get off the couch and go buy one.
