(the great cold distance was not diverse enough and the songs were quite predictable in song structure)

I thought Torture Killer's album was pretty good.

10 000 days was pretty damn bad, and i actually like tool a bit

 

[Sadguru]

10 000 days was pretty damn bad

Prove it.

10 000 days was pretty damn bad, and i actually like tool a bit

In what way? I actually like it more than Lateralus, its more varied, especially songs like Rosetta Stoned and 10000 days

Same here. Definitely enjoying it more than Lateralus.

 

[all_sins_undone]

Prove it.

dumb lyrics.
boring, repetitive riffs.
prestigious, horrible filler songs.
absoloutely no flow in the album.

tool wanted to make "lateralus 2". they just couldnt achieve it.

 

[Rocky Raccoon]

I think some people here just dislike Tool because its trendy to (Illdruit), which imo is just as bad as liking something because its trendy to...

 

[all_sins_undone]

i just said i like tool a bit, dumbass.
