A Vicarious Monday

Well what can I say? Today the world was gifted with the first single from the new Tool CD coming out in two weeks and it is bad ass. Tool hasn't put out a cd since 2001's Lateralus, and then Maynard went on hiatus with A Perfect Circle and went on to release two studio albums with APC. Many fans like myself feel that Maynard has done his best work with

Tool, which in my opinion is vastly superior to APC not only because of the agressiveness of the vocals, but overall the musicians in Tool are more my style. Danny Carey is a incredibly superior drummer who's work stands out more so than any other drummer, he is the drum God (although Gary thinks the guy from Dreamtheatre is.) Adam Jones guitar style is more power, more angry and more direct than Billy Howardell of APC, he is more whispy and plays around with harmonies and focuses less on riffs and more on catchy bits that are less riffs and more...pieces of a song. Justin Chancellor is just a plain bad ass bassist, and to even compare Twiggy to him would be like a slap in the face. Twiggy was good at wearing women's clothing, and a novice on a bass.

The bottom line is you can check out the song here. Thats where I downloaded it. Download, enjoy, be merry.
