lol @ disappointing year for album art, wtf

silence of anothor kind is pretty cool with the cutout

saut · August 24th, 2006, 04:43 PM

and the best was probably 10,000 days now that i think about it

illidurit · August 24th, 2006, 04:46 PM

10k days = highest album art quality to music quality ratio in history

saut · August 24th, 2006, 04:47 PM

lol so true

yeah I kinda wish they'd spent as much time developing the music as they did on the art direction

how much longer did you want to give them (how many years since lateralus?????????)

Jon Snow · August 24th, 2006, 06:37 PM

Yea but they didn't spend all 5 years working on this record, dummy

the_drip · August 24th, 2006, 06:39 PM

sounds like they spent about 5 days on the music...4 years on the stupid fag gimmick artwork/layout. Tool fails.

intimidatingcrustaceans · August 24th, 2006, 06:40 PM

instead of 5, i would have given them 5 years and 4 days, then the album would have been mindblowing...

...what i meant was i'd rather have an album of very good music (especially after such a long wait as you pointed out) than look at a 3D picture of justin chancellor posing with an eagle

the_drip · August 24th, 2006, 06:42 PM

anywho...best artwork of year = Fartriden tbqh aamof..
