MORG Posted April 17, 2006 Well, the worldwide hoards of rabid and obsessive TOOL fans coupled with the communicative power of modern technology wasn't enough to hold all leaks of the new album "10,000 Days" at bay. I heard the first single "Vicarious" yesterday. Apparently a radio station has leaked a promo copy of the single and it found its way onto the web. My brother was put onto the link through the Big Day Out forums but the link's down now. It's brilliant. Turned it up LOUD in the car and it's sonic bliss. Goosebumps on the last chorus are inescapable. Anyway, we're going to need a thread to discuss this album at the end of April/start of May. I'm busting with zeal.

apothecary Posted April 17, 2006 http://isohunt.com/download.php?mode=bt&id=10762561 New single, leaked. Fucking excellent. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ajna Posted April 17, 2006 yeah i recieved that single yesterday also. it is a great song, the drumming through the second half is just brilliant. i did expect something a little less like lateralus but you can't judge a tool album by a single anyway. looking forward to this release and hopefully a tour (preferably with melvins support ;)) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

faslimy Posted April 18, 2006 TOOL - VICARIOUS Eye on the T.V. 'cause tragedy thrills me. Whatever flavor it happens to be like.. "Killed by the husband", "Drowned by the ocean", "Shot by his own son", "She used the poison in his tea and kissed him goodbye". That's my kinda story. It's no fun until someone dies. Don't look at me like I am a monster. Thrown out your one face, But with the other. Stare like a junkie into the T.V.. Stare like a zombie, While the mother holds her child. Watches him die. Pleads to the sky crying: "Why, oh why?" Cause I need to watch things die... from a distance. Vicariously I live while the whole world dies. You all need it too - don't lie. Why can't we just admit it? Why can't we just admit? We won't give pause until the blood is flowing. Neither the brave nor bold, or writers of stories told. We won't give pause until the blood is flowing. I need to watch things die.. from a good safe distance. Vicariously I live while the whole world dies. You all feel the same so.. Why can't we just admit it? Blood like rain come down. Drown on grave and ground. Part vampire. Part warrior. Carnivore and voyeur. Stare at the transmitter. Sing to the death rattle. Lie (4x) (Background news headline) Credulous, divest your desire to believe in Angels in the hearts of men. Pull your head on out. Your head believes it give a listen. Shouldn't have to say it all again. The universe is hostile, So impersonal. Devour to survive, so it is, So it's always been. We all feed on tragedy. It's like bood to a vampire. Vicariously, I live while the whole world dies. Much better you than I. i thought it was ok, reminded me of pushit Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Legba Posted April 18, 2006 excellent! thanx faslimy. yeah. i like it more now. such angry young fellows, arent they? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dodie Posted April 18, 2006 Ah i heard it today, on a shitty radio and it still kicked so much arse! It sort of reminds me of grungy stuff of Undertow with the intricacies of Lateralus.. Their not that young bac Downloading it from my mate now...i wanna hear it on a good stezza! but the rest can wait Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Machine Elf Posted April 19, 2006 Their not that young bac No, they are early to mid-40s now. At the usual rate, by the next album they should be all around 50. ;) The whole album has now been leaked and is doing the rounds of the Internet. But screw that, I'm waiting so I can enjoy the moment properly when I buy the album and sit down with it. Belf Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hagakure Posted April 19, 2006 word belf for tool i like to do the ritual of sitting down, few beers, some cheeba, incense, mood lighting and virgin sacrifices to a full moon before i listen for the first time. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MORG Posted April 19, 2006 (edited) Indeedy. I'm up to three organised listening parties now. I gotta get me some virgins post haste! There's a review from Kabir on toolshed.down.net It makes exciting reading for impatient people and doesn't spoil anything.

Alice Posted April 19, 2006 Starting to tour overseas soon, so hopefully they'll choose to come here again too. I missed the salival tour (i know, no excuse!) but saw them in newcastle for lateralus. needless to say, it was an increadible night. i'll never miss another one thats for sure!

MORG Posted April 19, 2006 Starting to tour overseas soon, so hopefully they'll choose to come here again too. The rumour is August at the Superdome. It seems pretty likely as there are firm dates for an early August Japanese tour. But I'm NOT camping at Mingara Ticketek again and I would strongly advise others against it.

apothecary Posted April 19, 2006 Listening to the album (caved in and downloaded it) again, for the third time in a row lol. It's rediculously good. The song Lost Keys (Blame Hoffman) and the one leading from it Rosetta Stoned is one of the best descriptions of high dose LSD I've ever heard. There are throwbacks to heaps of old Tool songs, it's like each one of these is picking up where all the most important ones (Reflection, Third Eye, Triad, The Grudge, H, 46&2, and so on) all left off. This album is gonna take a long time to process...it's huge...amazing...I'm only leaving Tool on the mp3 player for a month or so. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

prier Posted April 21, 2006 The rumour is August at the Superdome. It seems pretty likely as there are firm dates for an early August Japanese tour. I saw them when they last played in Melbourne, one of the most amazing concerts of my life. Can't wait for the new album, I'm going to hold out till I can get a real copy.

faustus Posted April 24, 2006 album has leaked! listening now... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
indigo264nm Posted April 24, 2006 Album has been leaked for a while, put it on download and still didn't have the heart to do it so I deleted the torrent and await the release of the album... first time I have ever done this (i.e. BOC's last release) when an anticipated album has been leaked.
