10,000 Days

Emotionally powerful. What is there to say except that like all their other works this is exquisite and crafted to make one think. Tool on iTunes FINALLY!!!!

One of the GREATEST albums of all time!. Must listen to the entire album.... It's a experience...

5 STARS. Because it’s TOOL, duh

Tool is the best name for this band. They are all tools

Modern masterpiece. 10,000 days and Rosetta stones are life changing pieces of music.

TOOL TOOL EFFING TOOL. Japanese submarine slammed two torpedoes into our side, Chief. We was comin' back from the island of Tinian to Leyte, just delivered the bomb. Hiroshima bomb. Eleven hundred men went into the water. Vessel went down in twelve minutes. Didn't see the first shark for about a half an hour. Tiger. Thirteen-footer. You know how you know that when you're in the water, Chief? You tell by lookin' from the dorsal to the tail. What we didn't know... was our bomb mission had been so secret, no distress signal had been sent. Heh. They didn't even list us overdue for a week. Very first light, Chief, sharks come cruisin'. So we formed ourselves into tight groups. Y'know, it's... kinda like ol' squares in a battle like, uh, you see in a calendar, like the Battle of Waterloo, and the idea was, shark comes to the nearest man and that man, he'd start poundin' and hollerin' and screamin', and sometimes the shark'd go away... sometimes he wouldn't go away. Sometimes that shark, he looks right into ya. Right into your eyes. Y'know the thing about a shark, he's got... lifeless eyes, black eyes, like a doll's eyes. When he comes at ya, doesn't seem to be livin'... until he bites ya. And those black eyes roll over white, and then... oh, then you hear that terrible high-pitch screamin', the ocean turns red, in spite of all the poundin' and the hollerin', they all come in and they rip you to pieces. Y'know, by the end of that first dawn... lost a hundred men. I dunno how many sharks. Maybe a thousand. I dunno how many men, they averaged six an hour. On Thursday mornin', Chief, I bumped into a friend of mine, Herbie Robinson from Cleveland- baseball player, boatswain's mate. I thought he was asleep, reached over to wake him up... bobbed up and down in the water just like a kinda top. Upended. Well... he'd been bitten in half below the waist. Noon the fifth day, Mr. Hooper, a Lockheed Ventura saw us, he swung in low and he saw us. Young pilot, a lot younger than Mr. Hooper. Anyway, he saw us and come in low and three hours later, a big fat PBY comes down and start to pick us up. Y'know, that was the time I was most frightened, waitin' for my turn. I'll never put on a life jacket again. So, eleven hundred men went into the water, three hundred sixteen men come out, and the sharks took the rest. Anyway... we delivered the bomb.

Finally. Tool is back!

Well...... It’s a step down from previous albums but the opening 2 songs, Vicarious and The Pot made it worth the purchase way back in the Jurassic period when it was released. The rest of the disc is like the just released single, Fear Inoculum. Dull and plodding, with some good moments here and there.

TOOL. Thank you...

Not the Tool album I wanted in 2006. But still really good.. Rosetta Stoned is great. I’ll never look at William Manspeaker the same again. I think the low point is Right in Two. Meh... Yet, the Pot is a great song to sing in the car..
