@cosmopragma I guess you've been to the concert in Düsseldorf in the Philipshalle? That's funny, I've been there, too. Unfortunately I came late and therefore missed Rosetta Stoned. About the sound: I agree, it was very loud. Yet I could stand the volume without any problems (I didn't use...

It has been released in Germany today. Needless to say I've received my copy! The artwork is a true masterpiece. Staring through those lenses makes my eyes hurt a bit but it's just fascinating to look at the pictures!

Well, the first pictures of the actual CD have arrived on a German Tool forum. One member was really lucky and was able to buy the album already. This is what the CD looks like: Furthermore there will be a sticker of the TOOL and the 10,000 Days logo (also in the picture).

This is what the album could look like: If it was a fake, it would be pretty well done.

http://www.distortiononline.com/cont...ayslyrics.html This is the only website with lyrics for the album that I could find so far. Several lines are still fragmentary or unavailable but it's a start.

That's strange, I've never liked a Tool album right after listening to it for the first time. I think there are many catchy melodies but at the same time the beast seems very complex to me, which is why I will give a lot of time to grow. I think it's too early to write down any further...

I hope this hasn't been posted yet. Found these pics of the Vicarious promo edition on a German forum:

I've been listening to the song like 30 times today and I think it's amazing while still growing on me. The guitar just sounds so powerful, the drums are as accurate as ever, the bass guitar was a nice surprise since it's way more stressed and in the front than on former Tool recordings IMO...

Yay, finally! Thanks for the link. I just finished downloading. However having just taken a shower I'm not going to listen to it until my hair is dry. The song deserves to be played on my Senns first! Damn, I've been waiting for 5 years!

Hmm, I'm a little skeptical about the artwork as well. This is just an old piece of art made by Alex Grey. See: The same applies to the writing: The same font was used for a fake cover before:

that's right, this has already been discussed: http://www6.head-fi.org/forums/showthread.php?t=168274 yet I can understand the excitement looking forward to Germany concert in June.

Found this on a German forum. btw I've already bought a ticket for a Tool concert in Düsseldorf, Germany in June

Yepp, just when I read the thread title I was thinking of Beethoven's symphony No.9. I was in the same situation as you about a month ago and decided to concentrate on classical a bit more. The 9th symphony is easy to listen to and great to start with.

These are indeed some impressive shots, thanks for posting them. Still the looks of the K 701 are the main reason for me not to pick them up and wait for the next Senn instead.

How about making a list of the equipment? Every member of the forum attending the meeting copies the list and adds his (her?) stuff. I'll start: Headphones: ------------ 1x Sennheiser HD 650 1x Sennheiser HD 590-v1 Amplifiers: --------- 1x Meier Corda Aria Sources: --------...

Tool all the way. The new record is quite close actually. Radiohead. I didn't really enjoy Hail To The Thief, still my expectations are quite high. Mogwai. The new record is going to be nice. Isis. A new album would be awesome, don't know if it's going to happen though. And heck, I'm still...
