My sum:
First of all Tool is famous for its CD covers and case creations. This time the purchaser got a special gimmick, too. Glasses are integrated into the cardboard case, and inside you will find a fixed booklet with pictures you can watch through these glasses to see them in 3-D. It’s like a small theatre where Tool plays once more, like in many of its music video clips and on the screens live on stage, among other things with the visualization of human anatomy.
As we also know Tool, the “L” in the shortcut LP fits more than in the most other CDs. LONG player is really the right expression. With a duration of almost one hour and sixteen minutes but only 11 tracks you will get the full Tool feeling once more (well, almost, if you read below). If you keep in mind that one of the songs is only a bridge part with close to one minute playtime, you won’t be surprised that the others are even longer. I guess the average there is about seven to eight minutes each song. The two longest tracks on this album are over 11 minutes! Just as we know Tool listening to its art is like an opera. But with the difference that often the singing is part of the guitars! Tool is just electrifying. The music is such deep that once you are inside it’s really hard to come out again. Tool is a drug. Tool lets you feel all of your senses and makes you go inside yourself.
However, one thing changed while comparing older masterpieces with this album. While in the past the tension was getting bigger and bigger till the end of the six or more minutes songs, and at the highest point near the end usually there was a kind of explosion of all that tension, this explosion is missing now. Once it was a fact that gave “Sober” and “Aenema” for example the last decisive great touch. In this LP sometimes a bit of that tension is missing yet, and if it is there, there’s no “big bang” in Tool manner, except in the opening song “Vicarious”. That’s what makes this album in my eyes not a top rated one (maybe I just don’t understand the deepness this time and can’t see the whole thing), which the older ones easily made, but all in one it’s still an interesting music experiment which only Tool could do. You won’t find ANY comparable band in that business!
So because I don’t give half points (3.5), and the tendency goes more to 4… |
