10,000 Days is the fourth studio album by the American rock band Tool. The album was released by Tool Dissectional and Volcano Entertainment on April 28, 2006 in parts of Europe, April 29, 2006 in Australia, May 1, 2006 in the United Kingdom, and on May 2, 2006 in North America. It marked the first time since recording 1993's Undertow that the band had worked at Grandmaster and without producer David Bottrill. 10,000 Days spawned three top ten rock singles: "Vicarious," "The Pot," and "Jambi." It debuted at number one on the Billboard 200 chart, with first week sales of 564,000 copies. The album was awarded a double platinum certification by both the RIAA and the RMNZ. It was also certified platinum in both Australia and Canada, and gold in Belgium, Germany, Ireland, Poland, and the United Kingdom. 10,000 Days was Tool's last release for more than a decade; the band would not release their next studio album, Fear Inoculum, until August 30, 2019. Rolling Stone magazine ranked the album as the 38th Best Album of 2006. The album won a 2006 Metal Storm Award for Best Alternative Metal Album.
TOOL is kinda like Jesus. You shouldn't hate them just because their fans are mostly shitheads.
This fourth album of TOOL is not their best, but still great progressive rock music. Some slower songs and the closer are not that interesting.
Like most Tool albums, I like it a lot, but aren't smart enough to understand it without memorizing Wikipedia.
My heart sank. Two Tool albums in three days. Who did I anger?? It’s not for me.
Love this! The atypical rhytms, spiritual sounds, heavyness and calmness in one. Tool takes you on a trip
Tortured guitars for the sad boy set
Okok TOOL might have multiple good albums
Seriously guys, we didn't need to add every Tool album. But that's what Tool fans do, isn't it? I bet the guy who added this checked to see which one was missing (if he didn't already know instinctively) and it was all he ever planned on submitting. It's funny - back in 2002 or so, we used to pick on Dream Theater for being *that* band, but Tool has really overtaken them these days. I guess that's the advantage of scarcity - DT has thrown so much shit at the wall at this point that even their superfans admit there's a bit of stink in there. Tool fans, not so much. Tool is a pretty good band, all things considered - they'll never top the first song on their first album, but everything they put out is decent at a minimum. But they're also, with exception of that first album, never really truly GREAT. This album is good enough - it plods along for its 75min (Tool albums go for 75min) competently, it stays safely in its lane, it has a little bit of that 90s alternative vibe in its sound that's been missing since the 90s. It gets a little too jammy for me in places (the title track being a good example) and you have to be stoned to truly appreciate the hypnotic aspects of it all, but it's all well done. It feels solid. The production is thick. The instruments are all perfectly mixed. You know that tangible bump in quality when you get out of a Mazda and into an Audi? That's how listening to Tool feels after the myriad of b-tier metal bands I otherwise listen to all day. The problem is, with the exception of Vicarious (and maybe The Pot), I'll never remember anything from this album. It's "Tool album good". You know how Amorphis puts out the same album every year, and it's a damn good album, but it doesn't excite you and it's hard to pick out individual songs anymore? Same kinda deal, just with less frequency. Wait, what? You've never heard Amorphis? omg. It's getting a 4/5 and fuck you.
I loved Undertow when it came out. But after that I kind of grew away from the band. When these records came out I just wasn’t interested. Turns out I’ve been missing out.
Not entirely sure I needed a third Tool album on the user suggested list, but this held up to the others. While I haven’t and likely won’t listen to these three albums enough to discern which is “best” or what exactly each uniquely brings to the party, it was a good listen that I don’t regret.
The Pot is good 3
Rating: 6/10 Best songs: The pot
Love some TOOL here and there but man sometimes the albums just feel like they are 10,000 days long
So, I'd have to be in a specific kind of mood to want to hear Tool, and 3 user submitted albums are more than I probably will ever need. But... they do make really good albums. Smart, nuanced, intense stuff. Fave Songs: Vicarious, Jambi, The Pot
Progressive metal, alternative metal. Aburrido. Un 2.
