5 years between albums usually is quite a long wait. If you're Tool, however, it comes with the territory. Released to great success in the mainstream (it debuted on the Billboard Charts at #1), the album - and the band - take the term "progressive rock" and use it to twist and turn their songs into parts unknown. Although this album was praised by critics for their musicianship, little did those critics now how impressive this album truly was. Written about a host of topics (not the least of which being about Maynard' mother dying), the album takes you on a roller coaster ride. You've got your "typical" Tool songs, sure, but quite a few more of the tracks on this album are slowed down, almost in a "Doors" sorta way..to allow you to enjoy the ride with the band itself. Here's hoping it takes less than 5 years for the boys to make another disc. Please join us on Tuesday (May 6, 2008), as we spotlight the 2001 release by Tool, entitled 10,000 Days.
