It's about 16 MB.
I was expecting something a little heavier but this is still awesome. Lyrics really make up for it. Thoughts?

I'd say it's heavy. But "heavy" for TOOL isn't the way radio DJs would use the word-- i.e: it's not Slipknot or Metallica.
Sounds like a mix of "Schism" and "The Grudge". Really picks up in the middle. When I first heard the advance tracks of "Schism" and "Stinkfist", at first listen I wasn't too thrilled. But after a few more listens, I was hooked on each song. My "thrillment" level is a bit higher after hearing this tune, though.

Yeah, Tool songs really need multiple listens to really appreciate. As strange as it seems to imagine now, I wasn't too high on much of Lateralus at first, but over the years it has become my favorite Tool album.

I half-caught it over the radio yesterday. I thought it sounded pretty good. I couldn't make out much of the lyrics over the chatter in the car, though.

LYRICS
| QUOTE |
[1:07]
Eye on the TV
Cuz' tragedy thrills me
Whatever flavor, it happens to be
Like about a husband
Drowned by the ocean
Shunned by his own son
He used a poison
[1:27]
---
Kiss your goodbye
It's my kind of story
It's no fun 'til someone dies.
[1:50]
Don't look at me like
I am a monster
Frown out your one face
But with the other
Stare like a junkie
Into the TV
Stare like a zombie
Whi-le the mother
[2:10]
Who holds her child
Watches him die
Hands to the sky, crying
Why, oh why
[2:21]
Cuz' I need to watch things die, from a distance
Vicariously I
Live while the whole world dies
You all need it too, don't lie
[2:47]
Why can't we just admit it [x2]
[2:52]
We won't get --- until the blood is flowing
---
---
We won't get --- until the blood is flowing
[3:08]
I need to watch things die
From a good safe distance
Vicariously I
Live while the whole world dies
You all feel the same so
Why can't we just admit it.
[3:58]
Blood like rain come down
Drop and grave and down
[4:09]
Come
Vampire I
---
...
---
To the
Death rattle
[4:29]
La la la la la la la lie [x4]
[5:42]
--- your desire to belive in
Angels in the hearts of men
[5:52]
Pull your head out of --- every reason given, listen
Shouldn't have to say it all again
[6:02]
The universe is hostile, so impersonal
Devour to suffice our soul, it's always been
[6:22]
We all feed
Our tragedy
It's like blood to a vampire
[6:34]
Vicariously I
Live while the whole world dies
Much better you than I |

Wow. Those are awesome lyrics. I find myself liking Maynards lyrics much better than their music.

If it hasn't been done already... it'd be easy to spoof this song as "Bi-curious".
Scrooge could pen the lyrics.

I picked up the new album earlier today. I'm waiting to listen to it, right now I need to focus on studying :(
The Last Free Voice - May 2, 2006 11:26 PM (GMT)
Picked it up today as well. It's uploading onto my iPod now. The album booklet is fucking trippy.
The Last Free Voice - May 3, 2006 12:28 AM (GMT)
Has anyone been able to make out the whispering right before the "angels in the hearts of men" part?
Real F'n Show - May 3, 2006 12:30 AM (GMT)
I'm focusing on the music the first time through, then I usually go back and try to decipher the lyrics the best I can. Rosetta Stoned was fantastic.
The Last Free Voice - May 3, 2006 12:48 AM (GMT)
Ah, I tend to do the oposite. I really like how Tool use different effects in their songs. Stuff you don't quite hear every day. Like the little vocal effect in Jambi.
Real F'n Show - May 3, 2006 02:18 AM (GMT)
The vocals at the beginning of The Pot are weird.
The Last Free Voice - May 3, 2006 04:09 PM (GMT)
I love the ambient effects in 10,000 Days.
eStragand - May 3, 2006 04:47 PM (GMT)
Next thing, you'll be telling us you love the "motive effect". :)
Anyways, the fanatics are out there, posting and reporting on the live shows for US:

I meant the rain-type effects. I didn't quite know what to call them.
And after a couple of listens, 10,000 Days is my faveourite track on the record, and possibly by them. The "Now it's my time" part gives me chills. Great lyrics.
