3 stars out of 5 -- "There's enough innovation of a musical nature to ensure they need not rely solely on vintage phantasmagoria to capture the imagination.", 3.5 stars out of 5 -- "Singer Maynard Keenan's operatic vocals, alternately simmering and shrill, are more personal and less pretentious than ever before.", Ranked #38 in Rolling Stone's "The Top 50 Albums Of 2006" -- "'Vicarious' and 'The Pot' are packed with clever twists on instant-hit-single kicks...", 3 stars out of 5 -- "They've moved past metal to become their own genre....Keenan hisses a mysterious, gnomic gospel...", Ranked #6 in Kerrang's "20 Greatest Albums of 2006in- "Self-Indulgence Never Sounded So Thrilling.", "10,000 DAYS packs enough beauty, heartache and triumph that it will be dissected, studied and envied by younger bands for years to come.", "Epic, gradiose, mysterious and engaging....An album as substantial and challenging as only the great works of art can aspire to be..."
great team of musicians, with a powerfull sound that will reflect on their concerts
if one´s like rock music, it´s a original sound re-invented by their unique style ,either musical or lyrics wise with very interesting style of video presentation ,not mainstream but with many followers since their debut album. For those who said that there was nothing left to do with the simple rock band set up, it´s a fresh sound where guitars, drums and voice are nothing but a explosion of creativity that caught the most demanding ears, also makes you wait for their next work with some expectation.
Awesome quality and a bargain of a price. Glad to have the real thing. Tool may take ages to make albums but they are always worth it. Love the artwork, very imaginative and the music fits it perfectly.
