10,000 Days was more of a let down than Deftones S/T.  The correct ranking for Tool albums is:

Aenima (5/5)
Lateralus (4.5/5)
Opiate (4.5/5)
Undertow (4/5)
10,000 Days (3.5/5)

I really, really disagree with that, 10,000 Days wasn't a let down at all.

[Oldnewtype]

10,000 days is entirely different from their other albums. thats why everyone hates it.

Just like Lateralus is entirely diffeent from the others, everyone loves it.

Yeah, I think a lot of people were expecting Lateralus Part 2

10,000 Days still gets a lot of plays from me

I wasn't expecting Lateralus Part 2.  But that's in fact what we got.  Almost every song on 10,000 Days sounds like a different take on a song they already wrote, just not as good (Schism>Vicarious, Third Eye>Right In Two, etc.).  I actually read an interview where they said that a lot of the stuff on the album was stuff they had left over from Lateralus (b-sides anyone?).  Tool is a great band and one of my favorites but 10,000 Days was a huge stumble.  I think I only listened to it for like a week as a matter of fact.

You know, it's really strange.  Everyone I know in real life that listens to Deftones and Tool will always say that S/T and 10,000 Days were huge let downs.  But for some reason on this board these albums are always vehemently defended.

Going to see Tool for the second time in November.

i respect your opinion,  but thirdeye and right in two??? explain how they are alike, i can play both , and not many similarities. right in two is much more simply structured .

10 000 days wasn't a letdown at all.. I actually like most of the songs, but just have to be in the right mood for it...

werd....  i think rosetta stoned is one of their best creations ever, especially the climatic "overwhelmed as one would be .. "   its so amazing how well it all makes sense.

[neurotic]

I adore Right in two and Wings for Marie(both parts)... Just have to be in mood.. like for the most bands and most songs...

[Moz La Punk]

10,000 days is not my favourite Tool record by a long mile but I like it.

Totally!

[Alvar]

in my opinion 10000 days is not as good as lateralus, but its still a great creation.

i love every single song on this album... jambi and 10000days are two of my favourite songs ever.

the only problem is that no song on this album- for me- didnt get me to the point where lateralus (the song) got me. it really makes you high.. like a berakout.

but its still a great album and for me was absolutely no letdown

it's the typical "last album" thing. everyone expected them to make a new lateralus, but they chose to make sth. different, and that was a let down for many who don't know that great bands create a different album(for tool, that is every 5 years!!)

[Moz La Punk]

Yeah this happens with so many bands. Deftones, Tool, Rancid, the Clash, Nine Inch Nails, I could go on.

go on then  man, that guy that gets hit by the bus... fuck, that's so funny! 

[siL.]

Aenima/Undertow
10,000 days
Opiate

[Chrisbo]

^ not a fan of Lateralus, or you havent heard it?

[333tone]

Lateralus probably is their most genious album to date. i love Aenima to death, probably more than La te ra lus but i think  that's the truth
