Never thought this was going to happen. Can't wait.
Absolutely blown away from the new album. Incredible. Danny (the drummer) is 58, just kills it.
I do miss Maynard's growl, although being 55 it probably isnt as easy to do anymore.

I've never given a full Tool album a listen but I've been aware of them and their main songs. With their new album I got curious and listened to some of it and then some of their old stuff. I like a variety of music but I'm not a huge hard rock guy but there is just something... intriguing? about them. I can't put my finger on how I feel about them, they are weird and hard to describe but it slowly grows on you.
As far as the new album, Pneuma is an amazing track.

Tool is playing at Fiserv Forum on Oct 31 with Killing Joke.
Got tickets and am so incredibly happy to see them. Been wanting to see Tool for so long, but they haven't toured much and i missed out on earlier shows. Thought i'd never get the chance.

Thank you for posting that stellation. What an incredible story. Another reminder of why I love Nada Surf. His 'dichotomies at the heart of rock n' roll' bit made me think of a particular Radiohead head song that I've loved for years, 'Let Down' from OK Computer. One of the reasons, besides the fact that it's an emotional release, is that very idea. The lyrics are utterly hopeless except for one line near the end ('bouncing back and one day, I am gonna grow wings') but the music begs the listener to entertain the idea of change. It crescendos into an explosion of optimism and hope. What I feel from it is the promise of change no matter how dull and depressing life can get. I'll go so far as to say it's the song we need right now. I know Radiohead is a band a lot of people to don't get but I submit the below as beautiful entry point.
Anyone else have any dichotomous songs like that?
