Pre-drama drama discussion: After 13 years, will the new TOOL album set to drop today be the most mind-bending prog-rock album ever, or a pretentious pile of trash?

TOOL fans are known human garbage so I expect plenty of retardation in the music subs.

Nothing can ever live up to expectations after that long

It's funny, I said the same thing to your mom just the other day

You're early.

It's dropping on the 30th, they just released their back catalog on streaming sites today.

thank the lord, that shit has been way over due

You're right, I noticed a little after I posted. Still, it's coming, and I can already smell the blood in the water

You're lucky it's coming out at all. Nobody knows when the new Fear Factory album will be released, not even the band members themselves. The thing is finished, but half of the band is suing the other half so they're bankrupt and helpless. Idiots.

That makes me really sad, I love FF.

They should have done a 20th anniversary of Obsolete like they did Demanufacture. And "Zero Signal" during the Scorpion/Cage fight in the first MK movie was absolutely perfect.

I predict it will sound exactly like all their other stuff. I went to a tool concert once and was right up in the front, which meant basically that it was so loud it was just sound. It was basically the same song over and over when you can't actually make out the words.

Name three bands you like.

This place is literally nothing but a left-wing circle jerk at this point. Of course everyone not a left-winger is getting downvoted.

You've all made it very obvious. There is indeed space between TD (Which I don't think I've ever even posted on) and SRD, which this place has become. Sort by controversial. Any post picking on women or the left, is controversial. Most posts picking on men and the right, are not.

It's not like you guys are even trying to hide it. You've been posting BRDs for days. Sharia Blue has a heavy presence here, including among the mods, and BRD posts are the mods signalling that this sub is now fallen to the fempire. Hence why any post mocking a woman is suddenly downvoted, and a ton of weird SRD leftist shit is getting upvoted.

Bird=BRD=Bring Reddit Down; a SRS meme. Try to deny it by calling it out in plain sight, but it is what it is.

It's time for anyone else just plain leave this sub, block its regulars and go hang out in bigger, better subs, because if every place is a partisan circlejerk (and this place definitely has been for the last few months), we're better off in our own circlejerk subs, like CringeAnarchy, which is a lot bigger than place, and no more or less full of retards. /r/drama is just SRS/CB2 circlejerking at this point. Literally nothing they say makes sense, but they all frantically upvote each other and downvote anyone else.

What, like just 3 random bands? I like The Sebadoh, Soul Coughing and Firewater pretty well. Right now I'm on a bit of a country roots kick with Hank Williams though. My musical taste are all over the map.

I fuckin love Lou Barlow

He's such a sweetie, too. I went with a friend of mine to a concert and he actually came out and chatted with us. The man is a treasure.

Damn, that's awesome. The first three Dinosaur jr albums were perfection for me, J is a great songwriter but the original three were something else entirely

If you can go see him at a small venue, I recommend it. Very few artists are that sociable in my experience. I think the other one that I think was really great was Mike Doughty. He was super chatty and not full of himself at all. Down to earth musicians are great!

On the end of the spectrum, a friend of mine dragged me to an MC Chris concert way back when and that dude was a fucking asshole to his fans. I don't know why he did a meet and great after when it was very clear he did not want people near him. That's fine, but then like just stay backstage, you know? It was pretty entertaining to watch his face though.

Ha MC Chris, I remember the whole 2 months I got into him and then completely forgot about his existence. Dude was always weird as fuck lol. But yeah, lotta musicians are notoriously prickly so you gotta love the few that go out of their way for the fans.

He really was a little weirdo. And such a tiny guy for such a big ego. Sometimes I like to imagine people's ego vs. their body size and he had the ego of a 6'5" tall man inside like a 5'6" body or maybe he just looked tiny because he was literally cowering from his fans.

I just realized this was on the TOOL thread. At the time of the concert I was super into TOOL, NIN, A Perfect Circle and again, Firewater. Love The Golden Hour. This was about a decade ago.

Apparently according to one leaked review the album is damn good, which isn't surprising.

Yeah Maynard definitely leaked that review lol

has there ever been a bigger tryhard in the history of music than maynard james keen? off the top of my head, the only ones I can think of are John Lennon and I guess Madonna

that dude doesn't just sniff his own farts, he probably lightly wafts them to his face before saying some, *"ah yes, aromatic. hints of lavender" shit

And the die-hard fans are just as bad. How they became second-hand pretentious I'll never know, 10,000 days came out while I was in high school and I straight up hated Tool for a couple years because of their cult.

How can a band that made a single out of a song about fisting have such humorless fans? Blows my mind

To be fair, the faggots I went to school with were the fake hippy stoner cliche that made me hate Pink Floyd, the Grateful Dead, and Bob Marley as well. But I thank them for pushing me into Metal and all the glory it entails, so it wasnt all bad.

They spent the 2000's flirting with proggy music which attracted that genre's legions of traditionally humorless elitist fanboys.

Muse fans come to mind

Muse fans are like the nu-metal fans of prog nerds.

MJK and Tool are the perfect Venn diagram of autism, pretention, over-inflated ego, and confirmation bias.

Name three bands you like.

Okay, so you just have a general aversion to non-shit. Thanks for the confirm. 👍

Tame Impala. Mac Demarco. Joy Division.

Nice 👍

Tame Impala. Mac Demarco. Joy Division.

Lmao seething that everyone thinks knows tool is pretentious garbage

What's funny is that he's been in all these non-Tool bands and making his wine and whatnot because the rest of the band were such tryhard perfectionists it took them 12+ years to get the instrumentals to a point where he could come in and write lyrics, meaning that Maynard is only the 3rd biggest tryhard within Tool*

*the 4th, naturally being the drummer.

Lmao that's a good point

woody, yet crisp, it has a citrusy bite but a very mellow finish

I have to drop Carter and Daphne off at Jamal's for their free-range playdate, then I can kick back, smoke this leader joint, and rock out to the new Tool 😎🎸

Steve Huffman: Compensation, well... A few steps down the road what I would like to do is when I say empower communities, I think there’s an extreme version of that, which is where we bring economics into this. Allowing communities to have business models. And hopefully you can use your imagination there, but I think there’s a lot they can do and that would open the door to communities having money and potentially moderators having a share of that. So I think we’re pretty far off, but that’s one of my, kind of, fantasies, that we can elevate communities to such a degree that people can actually run a business or earn a living on Reddit.

Unironically this

APC>Tool by a laaaaaaaarge margin

Really? I love APC but Aenima is my fuckin jams man.

If it's proggish metal, there are a dozen bands more interesting imho. APC is something else.

Tool's OK, but I can't fucking stand APC.

fight fight fight

APC is Tool but less heavy and with Keenan more transparently whining about his mommy issues, pass.

Hey don't disagree with me because I'm right and you're wrong and disagreeing with me makes it seem like I'm wrong but I'm not.

Its just bands, not your social security number numbnuts, it's not that important. Also:

implying everyone on drama doesn't hate themselves

Get out, and never come back

Mastodon

emperor of sand is about drama mods, cmv

The Comet is Coming, Hobosexual, Om

My brother in law is probably smearing the walls of his house in shit right now in anticipation.

I can 100% believe this.

Tool always been and always will be trash. They had one song that was tolerable back when I was still enjoying the ignorant bliss of being a 90s child

Meh, they're a good band just way overhyped. Always by posers too, some stoner talking about how metal he is because he listens to Tool in between Pink Floyd and Jimi Hendrix tracks.

Tool haters are way more annoying than Tool fans since they haven't been relevant since 2003, change my view

Why cant I hate both? I like the music I just wish nobody ever talked about them lmao

I enjoy them too but I see way more bitching about their weird neckbeard fanbase that I never see in person

Consider yourself lucky then

why would you hate the fans? They're good drama and it's been fun to laugh at the diehard's descent into madness over the last decade as they begin to dig for hidden tracks/math theories in every audio recording that's ever been released by the band.

It's like looking at the really whacky conspiracy theories /r/asoiaf gets into from time to time since they haven't had a new book to read in 10 years, and yet adamantly refuse to read another book.

Listen 👏 to 👏 another 👏 band 👏

Its not releasing today, retard. The old stuff is going digital and the album comes out on the 30th when it will 100% suck

Yeah I realized it was just the backlog right after I posted lol

The new A Perfect Circle album was trash, I really hope this one's better.

Yeah I was a little let down by it too. Like, it was ok, but where did all the talent from the previous records go?

Did you really think APC had any creative potential after blowing their entire artistic load on Thirteenth Step? That band literally went from "okay" (Mer De Noms) to masterpiece (Thirteenth Step) to cover album (eMOTIVe). 4th album had no chance.

Love the music, absolutely despise the fanbase; similar to rick and morty. I pity people who build their personality and identity around things that entertain them.

Exactly.

Tool would be a lot better without Maynard

Spicy take, I like it
