Tool 10,000 days review

This is my first Tool CD and my review is a bit of a mixed bag. For my taste which is mainstream 70s and 80's metal, I found this CD lacking the energy normally associated with heavy metal. The execution was clinical but cold. The vocals were lacking and the bass heavily over-mixed on the tracks. Most of the time I felt that there should be another guitar in there somewhere. The music is really tight and there is no doubt that Tool are excellent musicians and have branded their own unique sound, unfortunately it is just too much of a departure into a trip-rock genre which leaves me looking for another CD to flip into the tray. Good rainy day listening but nothing that really gets my feet moving.
Utter brilliance captured on an album!

10000 Days was released 5 years after Lateralus. Was it worth the wait? Hell yes. Tool are on they're usual great form, Maynard's vocals excel and are backed up by tour de force musicianship from the rest of the band. While Lateralus seemed like a complex wall of sound, the tunes here are slightly heavier and broken down a bit. That said, the title track explores a more progressive sound (and clocks in at over 10 minutes) and shows some great sound dynamics. Tool fans tend to be divided between their Undertow sound and their current sound, and while 10000 Days is more in line with Aenima and Lateralus, tunes such as Pot and Vicarious make cool rock anthems.
