GENERAL NEW RELEASE SPECULATION TOPIC

[Jonse]

How about "To each, his/her own?" Fruitless.

That's my exact point. Not sure why people have to have a problem.

[Waterbagel]

GSY!BE is pretty cool and all

Tool =

it's just pompous, pseudo-intelligent music that tricks people into thinking that long songs with lots of vocalizations, odd time signatures and general 'style over substance' thing is just superb.

Hey, the letter U looks like a horseshoe.

[Kinski]

tool is releasing their another pretentious album on may 22, 2012. yep.

Tool is pretentious?


Coming from a member of a forum created in support of a band that doesn't tell anyone if/what they're working on for 5 years and then has a black square put up, toying at people for three months, and Tool, which has performed recently and kept people somewhat up to date is pretentious??

you're quoting me but i'm not sure if you're answering me. i said PRETENTIOUS ALBUM, not PRETENTIOUS PROMOTIONAL TRICKS. i see no connection whatsoever.

I think you missed the point. I'd like to ask you WHY you think Tool makes pretentious albums.

it's just pompous, pseudo-intlelligent music that tricks people into thinking that long songs with lots of vocalizations, odd time signatures and general 'style over substance' thing is just superb. it's muse for people who gratuated high school. it screams the exaltation of middle-class kids that like tot think about themselves as 'musically educated' but in fact know nothing about anything and are as casual to music as twilight series fans are to literature.

let me guess- you're now going to disagree with all of this.

win? no?

I'm not going to disagree with all of what you say, and I have no idea where "win" came from. I agree that there's a lot of "HEY MAN, I'M STILL MOSTLY A BRATTY TEENAGER BUT I LISTEN TO TOOL SO THAT MAKES ME SMART AND SHIT" and understand most of what you're saying, although I do disagree with the music being shit or "pseudo-intlelligent" and happen to really enjoy Tool. I am not some pompous teenage brat who makes spice all day, so that breaks that stereotype. You are generalizing Tool listeners very heavily, and your ending comments, especially pertaining to the "Twilight and literature" thing make you look extremely pretentious, in a very hypocritical fashion regarding your original post. Other than all those things being opinions, and what dictates something vague like art or fine literature is totally a point of view, your pompous and cocky attitude greatly hinders any potential meaning, underlying message or style you're possibly trying to perpetuate.



1.9 out of 10 for Kinski, says Pitchfork Media.
one and a half stars out of five for Kinski, says The Guardian
three out of six tacos, says the daily Rodheh



"win? no?"

a) it's a message board. don't expect me to go into extreme details on why i consider tool pretentious. that would involve me going back to their albums and the lateralus boom of the early 00s is still enough of a trauma for me.

b) are you still a teenager? if you are, i'm sorry i yanked your chain.

c) as you said, it's all opinions.

d) incunabula!

∞) anyone knows what sustain pedal would work with yamaha dx7? is there a specific model?

z) i suck at english, sorry.
