Tool - 10000 Days
 The most recent Tool album (from 2006) and definitely my favorite. It can easily be regarded as a concept album since many tracks relate to each other (Wings for Marie Pt1. and Pt2. or Lost Keys + Roseta Stoned + Intention etc.) This album delivers all typical odd time, dropped D rhythms that are trademarks of Tool and the very cool harmonization of the vocals over the instrumental background. The 1st track, Vicarious, kicks in with an unmistakable Tool-feeling, and you could imagine yourself to have just started a long and heavy journey. The TalkBox effect over the solo of the second track Jambi is an awesome feature (it's basically the only solo on the album except for repetitive motifs from the lead guitar on later tracks). Sometimes a track consists of one or two motifs, but the tension is professionally built up - these tracks are pure awesomeness. One of my favorite tracks is Roseta Stoned. The rhythm guitar here is awesome and very effective - the saturated timbre of the Dropped D riffings is very cool (Gibson LP Silverburst from the 80s I guess...). In general the sound of the album is really well mixed - the low frequencies don't interfere with each other, the drums are very well tuned. The drums and the bass have a great, juicy voicing and it's physical pleasure to listen to it... you just don't want it to end. Joe Kataldo has an awesome lesson featuring Tool 10000 Days riffs (the first part of the lesson is based on the riffs of Jambi, the second on the riffs of Roseta Stoned - very cleverly selected material I must say  ) You can find the lesson here: https://www.guitarmasterclass.net/rhythm-gu...l-style-lesson/Tool has recently announced the recording of a new album and the kick off of a new tour. Hope the album's gonna be out this year.

Right now I'm listening to The Empyrean by John Frusciante.
 It doesn't sound like his work with RHCP and personally I like this alot better. This album has alot of cool rock songs on it of which "Central" is my favourite. The album opens with a long track that seems to be a reference to "Maggot Brain", which in my opinion is one of the greatest songs ever. Another thing that must be noted is that John can really sing, his voice is perfect for this album. The only track I don't like has vocals from someone else. This album get's 4.5/5 from me. --------------------  Roland Cube 30; Toneport GX; Cort kx1; Ibanez RG1570; Ibanez EW35ABE-NT http://www.last.fm/user/Mr_T83 |
