They put out a new album just last year.

It sucked. Sorry to say it but it sucked.They released a new album in 2018.
I've never done thatHe’s one of those “gotta let these guys know” people.
“I’ve never seen a single episode of ______”
I liked a few tracks. Nothing is as good as the first APC album though.It sucked. Sorry to say it but it sucked.
The last good thing Maynard was involved in musically was the second album of APC.
The only one from that era putting out good albums these days is Trent Reznor.
I just listened to those two songs posted in the thread. Fucking shite, both of them. They sound like the less memorable, less catchy, dragged-out-too-long songs from their older albums. The ones that nobody really likes or remembers. And those are apparently the two standout tunes? Yep, I'll skip this please. Not for me anymore.
it's not just that... the music has not aged well. Tool's music has not aged well at all. It's embarrassing now.Agreed. They lost their hunger. It happens to many artists. And it was apparent on the 10,000 days album, though that one was still ok.
I think part of the problem is that Adam Jones has somewhat of a limited skill set on the guitar. I don’t think he knows much music theory. And that’s not always an issue. But knowing music theory can give you a deep well to pull ideas from when you have none and when everything you write is becoming derivative of everything else you have written.
You can say “Hey, I’ll try this weird conceptual thing here”, and while it may not always yield a good sounding idea, there are many times it can. It can lead to a new cool lick or riff. Or just a new way of seeing the guitar which can spawn more ideas when the old ones are stale.
And that’s what their shit is sounding like. Like it’s stale.
And I got the whole album on iTunes for 11.99 so not sure what price everyone is tripping on.

yeah, maybe if you can't dance for shit. Danny Carry has the most undanceable drumming style ever. His jazzband was awfull.I still like their old stuff. It’s better than everything else you hear played on the radio today. I still listen to Aenema and Lateralus. And even Undertow, though it is not my favorite.
unfortunately, it sucksMan, I thought the first reply was referring to a new Tool album, I had no idea APC released a new one. I'm looking forward to checking that out tonight! Thanks guys!
Okay I think I get it now.
Maynard is trolling Motley Crue style to see how long he can go without showering while still getting laid by his devoted legion of groupies.
This obsessed Tool fan phenomenon finally makes sense.
The Grudge is a good song.
