  1. Sooooo...let me understand this. Dude walks in here and gives his honest & lengthy opinion & review of the song as a fan of the band, and people are giving him shit & calling him pretentious?!?! Get the fuck out of here with that shitty attitude. He’s a fan who loves the band & expressed his appreciation. If you don’t like it, take your toxic bashing somewhere else. Promote what you love instead of bashing what you hate.

  3. imagine the kind of douche you have to be to come onto this forum and claim people "don't know the whole story" and how hard it is "to bite your tongue" about the facts of the case, and then give absolutely no new information. you want so badly to involve yourself in this, and it is truly pathetic. shoulda kept your mouth shut unless you had something valid to say, as opposed to your sad attempt at relevance in this situation.

  9. To be fair music is subjective but people are still really bad at consuming it. There are a ton of meme bands discussed on VC and it’s just the nature of the beast. You have every right to get hyped on an Early November record when you’re in your 40s but you gotta’ know that has its ramifications.

    Wow - this is some of the blandest, least interesting drivel I could have ever imagined coming from someone as good as Vernon. I've just finished my first playthrough and I can't imagine ever having the desire to listen to this again except for the inevitable feeling after listening to one of his other albums or projects and thinking "ah, c'mon, it couldn't have been as bad as you thought..." Looking forward to the combination of renewed disappointment and unfortunate reassurance when I discover that it is in fact that bad.

  12. I find it really weird. I have not listened to "Fear Inoculum" yet. I've heard "Invincible" and "Descending" live in person and on some super high quality live bootlegs on YouTube. I think compositionally in terms of song structure, those two songs feels Lateralus-styled but progressed from that point of composition. It did not really feel like a continuation of 10,000 Days. Obviously each player has their own signature style but I think its doing oneself a great disservice to not attempt to look past the surface of the sound the band has and find the subtle uniqueness that each song builds using those same ingredients. If you half-listen to any of their songs waiting for a special guest to come in and do a hook and flip the whole dynamic of the core band on its head, you're listening to the wrong band. If you're looking for traditional tropes of a growing and changing artist or band that is led by a single songwriter who decides now we have a fiddle and an accordion on this track and then we have a piano leading these two tracks and we're ex-Beatles who are writing 3 minute pop songs, you're listening to the wrong band. These guys paint with the same brushes and explore how to make new textures using the same types of voices and the same exact instrumentation for the most part on every album. They go in a room and follow eachother's lead for a hours on end and construct "songs" using the parts they liked best from the improvised communications they share using essentially the same 3 to 4 instruments, the electric of which are generally dialed into to produce the same types of sounds as they've made for all the albums they've done together. They may progress in some ways on their own instruments but they have their established voices. If you're not coming to Tool with this realization and you don't find yourself interested in how they will paint the soundscape under these particular circumstantial/instrumental constants then I don't know why you would keep expecting to be wowed only to be let down. We all know how Tool writes. We know the process. We know the instruments. You have to be looking at their output from the standpoint of knowing the limitations of what's included. Not mad. Just sayin'.

  14. Ranking a Russian Circles album last is like ranking pizza. Even your least favorite pizza is still fucking pizza & is incredible haha. It’s more the ending of Enter which is full of songs I never go out of my way to listen to.

  19. no "The Ballad of Sal Villanueva" My Victory copy sounds decent enough.....this isn't exactly a sonically excellent recording.....Definitely sticking with my Victory copy for the bonus track (my fav song they've written) alone just one grumpy old asshole's opinion though ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

    Haven’t quite gotten around to the album just yet but the aesthetic for the visuals that the band is posting for each track is 100% art hoe.

    I certainly don't get it. Whole thing was utterly devoid of anything I would even call "relatively interesting". Soulless.

  26. I don't believe I've ever spoken on this, because its obviously a very shitty and sensitive subject, but I know more details than were ever reported and that's not exactly how it happened. Regardless, he was guilty and deserved his punishment. It's just difficult to sit back and see comments and bite my tongue when most of the general public doesn't know the full details of the situation.

  28. Fuckin thank you jhulud. So tired of a certain few individuals on here that like to lord their musical tastes over everyone else's. Always showing up in threads for bands they apparently can't stand. Spewing their sarcasm and circle jerk jokes. It's fucking annoying and one of the main reason I don't visit VC much anymore. Funny thing is they all know who they are too. Fuck you dudes.

  30. I suspect there is some detail they are leaving out like there are 3000 world wide and 1500 are exclusive to UO as it would be asinine for Germany , Australia and UO to all press different presses that are the same color .

  34. Popped in hoping for a vinyl update or at least thoughtful discussion of the new track, I should have known better 😣 Hoping the rest of the album is more dynamic than FI is. The well rounded folks over at r/toolband all love it of course.

  36. He 100% deserved to go to jail. Just saying it isn’t as cut and dry as “he tried to hire a hit man to kill his wife”. It looks like there are some articles out there about it but there’s definitely some entrapment involved. At the end of the day he agreed to it and that is absolutely awful.

  37. This is the last all add to this convo. The most hilarious part of this whole conversation is that Shelby and I have extremely similar tastes in music but I only take part in meme band threads. And fuck you Derek! Ive always disliked the early november and I'm only 30.

  41. I guess I should at least check out Film In Color. And the Outlander EP while I’m at it. Well said though. And these guys would be a great fit with Elusive, no doubt. I think Valium and the new Blankenberge are probably my favorite “nugaze” releases of this year, so far.
