^100% agree. I've been waiting, like all Tool fans, 13 years for this album and it has blown me away. I'm really glad the mix puts Danny front and center because his drumming is unreal on this album. I'm on listen #5 right now.

My setup for the first listen last night.

To be fair, really giving it the respect it deserves means intently listening and getting absolutely no work done…. Maybe not a bad thing for a Friday.

Showing my age but I remember seeing Tool when they were relatively new. Saw them for the Undertow tour back in the early 90's

And all of us younger fans are super jealous you can say that.

Back then ticket prices were at least affordable. It was the same when I saw the Foo Fighters when they were touring the first album. Nowadays tickets are obscenely expensive and for that kinda dough I’d rather spend it on IH [emoji16]

Sadly, I didn’t see them during the Undertow era because nobody I was hanging around with at the time was interested in them. I did see them for each of the next three album tours (3 times for 10000 Days Era) and highly recommend seeing them live at least once.
The only band I have enjoyed seeing live more was Pink Floyd. That was an unbelievable experience.
The crazy thing is that I’m not into the drug experience and can only imagine what they would be like under the influence.

I’ve seen them multiple times on each tour since the Undertow era. It’s cool to be able to say I saw them in the early days, but seeing them these days is a whole different experience, better in every way.

Unfortunately never saw them way back in the day but I've seen them three times in the past 10 years. The last time I saw them was a few summers ago at the Gorge, which is a massive outdoor amphitheater on the Columbia River in Eastern Washington. It was something special.

I believe I also saw Tool for the Opiate ep. they might’ve been the opening band. My memory is fuzzy from that point in time

@BloodnThunder The Gorge would be a fantastic venue. My two bucket list concert venue’s would be Red Rocks and the Gorge with the right band for each.
There have been some great live albums recorded at each of those locations.

Would love to see Tool at Red Rocks. I saw Slipknot and Lamb of God at Red Rocks a few years ago. Great show, but I know Tool would be better.

@BloodnThunder This is too coincidental,as I too was at Red Rocks a few years ago when Slipknot was at Red Rocks. Only thing was I was in the gift shop and this guy comes in and he looks like he's in a band,so I ask him and he tells me he's the singer for Slipknot,to which I say you must look forward to the drum solo at this altitude,and he says no way the drummer can do a solo. Got to hear them soundcheck. The sound was amazing even from outside the venue. They did Back in Black at the soundcheck.

@Jett129 Crazy! Yeah Corey Taylor is a pretty unassuming looking person outside of all the tattoos. He's not the tallest guy that's for sure. Crazy that he was just wandering around outside the venue.
