Product Description
Amazon.com
With a majority of the songs on 10,000 Days clocking in well past the seven-minute mark, you wouldn't be entirely mistaken in thinking that the title of the album refers to how long it actually takes to make it through the whole thing. Two of the tracks--the sitar and tabla enhanced "10,000 Days (Wings Part 2)" and its suitably epic psych-rock sister "Rosetta Stoned"--even linger on for nearly a dozen leisurely minutes each. That's delightful news for the legion of Tool fans that have been waiting five years for the follow-up to 2001's Lateralus, which debuted at number one and sold 2.3 million copies in the United States. Singer Maynard James Keenan is back on mystical form after his hiatus with the politically slanted A Perfect Circle, sounding at once ethereal and eloquent as he calmly charges through the metal tempest of the opening track "Vicarious." The rest of the band, meanwhile, hits a series of high-flying moments with tracks such as "Jambi" and "The Pot." When Tool sounds as good as it does on these songs it's hard to get enough. Which makes it all the more baffling that a surprisingly large chunk of the disc is given over to mood-enhancing soundscapes like "Lost Keys" and "Vigniti Tres." Who has time for filler? --Aidin Vaziri

Sonically relentless and visually groundbreaking only begin to describe the Tool experience. Formed in Los Angeles, CA in 1990, Tool has cemented themselves in today's hard music community with uncompromising attitude and vision. With just one EP and three album releases over a 15-year span, Tool has created a loyal and even rabid fan base, selling over 10 million albums and half a million videos in the U.S. alone.

10000 days,
By hugues (Canada) - See all my reviews
This review is from: 10,000 Days (Audio CD)
Well, what else can be said about this album?Undertow came out in 93 and sounded like nothing else at that time. Then Tool disappeared. I was surprised when I found that they released a new album, Aenima. A true UFO. Something conceptual, far away from what could be heard from the rest of the crowd, again. At that point it seemed absolutely impossible for Tool to deliver something new, refreshing. But that's exactly what they did with Lateralus. UFO2. Better than aenima. Amazing... So 5 years later where does Tool go? Did they push their concept one step forward? Is this one even better than Lateralus? Well the answer is perhaps yes and no at the same time. First of all, this is a wonderful, amazing album. Not something you can appreciate after one quick listen. Not something you can listen to while cooking or working on your computer. This album can give you a lot, but you need to give it attention and time. Nothing new actually, the same holds true for the 2 previous releases. I'm not sure I want to compare it to Lateralus and tell which one is the best. This wouldn't make any sense. What I should mention is that the recipe is pretty close to the one for Lateralus even though this album may be a bit easier to listen to. I don't mean commercial (even though they will sell hundreds of 1000s of this one as they did for their previous ones), just that it seems more straightforward, even though the structure of the songs is still quite ambitious and tortured... How did they come to deliver songs like 10000days or Roseta stoned? who knows... This is not important. They're back and no doubt you'll enjoy this one. If you don't know Tool yet, this album may be a good starter. But please don't panic, let it grow on you... Pretty well done, definitely. To me there are two parts to this album. From Vicarious to the Pot, Tool reaches perfection. Then I'm less enthusiast. Not that Roseta stoned, Intension and Right in Two are bad songs but they are maybe weaker than the rest. Which means that they are not amazing but only pretty good. Not a drama, hey? 10000 days undoubtedly qualifies for the 2006 top 10. If you don't buy it you might have to wait until 2011-2012. Too bad!!!!

This review is from: 10,000 Days (Audio CD)
i've always liked tool, but this album came together for a bit better than did their other albums. some songs were almost transcendental. some of the songs really make you slow down, or even stop what you're doing or thinking about and just listen. the prime example of this for me on this cd was lost keys. that song isn't just a song... its an experience. it's like, the listener is in the head of someone who is lost, confused, scared and lonely. it was brilliant how they got the doctors to talk over the music to the 'main character', but the music over powers their words with the over bearing emotion so that while you hear the words, you don't care about them, because the voices don't care about you and don't understand what you're going through. they just want to 'deal with you' and get you out of there. ... it gets me every time. but its good. vicarious is another good one. if not buy the cd, make sure you listen to some songs (in my opinion the ones i mentioned hold the highest priority, of course).

Amazing!,
This review is from: 10,000 Days (Audio CD)
Tool has impressed me with all of its releases, and 10,000 days is no exception. From straight forward rock ("the pot") to atmospheric brilliance (Wings for Marie), Tool continues to amaze. It's not a short cd at all, most of the songs surpass five minutes. Easily worth every cent. For a little bonus packaging is really cool.
