Tool

Lol I never did doubt that they were finally releasing something.

 

[Collin]

You doubted in your heart.

 

[Diesel 11]

I doubted for the laughs.

‘Invincible’ is the title of the second song played. I’m diggin’ it!

 

[Lego]

best versions I've found of "Descending" and "Invincible":

this album needs to come out NOW.

 

[Lego]

I love how atmospheric and linear the new songs are - getting some fantastic classic prog vibes. I know some people prefer the older, more aggressive Tool stuff, but this new material is just fantastic and much more nuanced IMO.

 

[Collin]

Thanks those are much better!

You’re welcome! And invincible isn’t cut off in this one, so you’ll get to hear the head-slammingly heavy breakdown. Danny Carey does his best Phil Rudd AC/DC groove.

Yeah I didn’t think it was that long lol. 12 minutes?!! This is heaven!

I’ve heard rumors that apparently none of the tracks on the new record are under 10min!

And it’s looking to be true!

We cannot see your heart here. Only your words.

Haven't really listened to 'Descending' too much yet.. But holy shit! 'Invincible' fucking kills. Absolutely brutal!!!!

Someone on Reddit managed to put out all the lyrics and it seems as though it's about Tool fighting to stay relevant because it's been so long without a new album.

Tool is playing new music so let's talk through the entire song. This is why I no longer go to concerts.

Yeah that annoyed me. I just watched Tool Archive's video of Descending. Amazing sound to it! But people need to shut the fuck up sometimes.

That's why I like to be right up front at a concert, I don't have to listen to people talk. I can just focus on the band playing and myself having a good time.

Aaron Lewis from Stained got really angry recently at people talking during one of his acoustic shows.

It's definitely annoying. But I don't tend to notice a lot of the time.

The guy that sparked up that joint next to me at Ghost? I certainly noticed that!

They’re one of the last few major holdouts. The only other I can think of is King Crimson (ironically probably Tool’s greatest influence).

King Crimson is now on Apple Music. I honestly thought Tool would make it on the streaming services long before them. I’m sure it won’t be long before Tool is there too. Maybe they’ll put all their music up when the album is out. I think Taylor Swift did something similar once.

I think we'd gone a week-and-a-half without any Taylor Swift references on Maidenfans and I was living it.

Either all the music goes up when the album comes out or when the album gets announced.
