I'm withholding full judgment, I've only listened to it once, but it's musically brilliant, and VERY diverse.
The Pot is the funniest shit I've ever heard and heavy and awesome at the same time.
I did the smart thing and smoked up before going into the album.

I want to savour this feeling, I love the anticipation. It feels like christmas back when you were a kid.
I'm downloading it now, I didn't see your post Heretic, though I would have got it from there hadn't I just strolled across like 7 torrents of the album on the mininova homepage hehe. As for killing the anticipation... I've waited 4 years already, enough anticipation. I'm going to buy it on release day too anyway, I just want the mp3s to toss onto my ipod.
It's been 4 years, 11 months and 5 days IFHTT.Lateralus was enough to satisfy me until they announced 10k days. So that's when the real anticipation set in.
EDIT: Fixed the duration.

Holy shit Wings for Marie(both parts, part two is 10,000 days) is so incredible. I am still listening to it so I'll edit this post with further opinions.
And here's the tally thus far
Jambi kicks major ass.
The Pot is hilarious as Heretic stated and sounds wicked. Including Maynard's rather high pitched intro verse.
Lost Keys & Rosetta Stoned is also brilliant. Does anyone know who is saying the distorted lines in Rosetta Stoned?
Edit to comment on el_boss' edit above:nice!

The title track is absolutely beautiful. Just wow, I can't explain it.

On the subject of Tool, how many people downloaded the fake albums (one with nothing but silence, and one with some other band singing weird songs)? Hahaha...
Anyways... the new Tool sounds awesome. I have to admit that Vicarious seems like a revamped Schism... it just has that feel that I got when I first heard Schism. The rest of the album is great as expected... but, as with all other Tool songs, it has to grow on you. I've listened through it twice now, and on the second go through, I appreciated it more than the first time.
May 2nd isn't that far away now...
In my experienced, it takes about three full runs of a Tool album to get you stuck for life. This usually doesn't differ if you are a Tool junkie or just started listening to them. The difference lies in that the junkie will let the album run enough times, whilst the newbies head will explode from the sheer awesomeness. It's true, I've seen it happen.
My favoritte metal bands atm... HmmMz!
1) Linkin Park (Is this metal acctually... wheren't sure.)
2) Korn mayB (I know one who knows the singer there
.... 3,4,5 i cant decide...
But I have been at a korn konsert in Oslo spektrum that was way too fun
I have to admit, my favourite "metal" or "hxc" or "rock" bands in general are mostly local bands around where I live. That's most of the stuff I listen to. I mean, sure I listen to Tool (which is my all-time favourite band), and Evergreen Terrace, and Bullet for My Valentine, And Hopesfall (the older), and Bleeding Through, and Atreyu, and bands like that.... but most of what I listen to are local bands: MSD, Incursion, Antikythera, (intheclear), Five Bolt Main (which contains members of Flaw), 7DaySun, Zombies Ate My Neighbors, A Present Day Nightmare, Straight Line Stitch, Arcane Saint, PUC.... and I can name a lot more.
Anyways... while much "mainstream" metal is definitely worth listening to, I find local music fresher... 'cause there's really no boundaries. And band members treat their fans as equal; you can chat away with any of the band members at a show or online or even at their place of employment (yes, they have other jobs). So, while the rewards aren't as plentiful as "making it big", the lifestyle is much more appreciable.
I'm completely lost on what I'm saying now, so I'm just gonna shut up... haha...
I hate local bands. I'm going to be honest and tell you why. I AM FUCKING JEALOUS. Every time I see some "regular guy" standing on the stage, I get pissed off. So until I actually have my own breakthrough, I will never be able to appreciate local music acts. They are too close. I can't take it. Fuck them.
Ehrm, anyway, did I mention that the new Eternal Tears of Sorrow album is out?
I've waited sooooo long for it... it's called Before the Bleeding Sun and I recommend it to all fans of melodic death metal with lots of keyboards.
I just wanted to say IRON MAIDEN IS KICKASS!!! So far I didn't like them as much but when I listened to Dance of Death I was like man they are good. Then I listened to Blood Brothers, and then I was like man they are really good. Then I listened to Trooper and Aces High and so far im listening to Seventh Son of A Seventh Son which is cool because they used to that title that was from Orson Scott Cards Book called Seventh Son of a Seventh Son. or probably another source. But any good song recommendations?
No one but the enemy will ever teach you how to destroy and conquer. Only the enemy shows you where you are weak. Only the enemy tells you when he is strong.

OMFG! just bought the new album. Can't say much about it yet, just put it in the stereo. But I can say that it has the most awesome cover in the history of the universe. If I survive listening to the whole album I'll be back with an update.
EDIT: Jambi is my favourite. But it's all good.

Does anyone know where I can download his songs, or at least that song because I saw it on a video.
Any Iron Maiden fans out there need to get Death on the Road live DvD

How much do i suck with photoshop?

God, I'm so pissed.
I was supposed to hit the 6/6/06 Slayer show in San Diego, but it got cancelled and they're not playing in San Diego until July 20th.
>_<;;;
Oh shit I can't believe I waited this long to start listening to Slayer. That's some good shit man. Been listening to Reign in Blood almost non stop for a while now.
Only three days 'til TOOL! Always worth mentioning
Does anyone know where I can download Dir en Grey and what songs to get?
My play list at the moment is dominated by
Sevendust - Next
Sevendust - Seasons
Entwine - Dieversity
Entwine - Gone
Children of Bodom - Hatebreeder (Children of Bodom own)
Children of Bodom - Something Wild
Symphony X - The Odyssey
Firewind - Allegiance
Also plenty of Bob Marley (nothing beats a sunnyday in the garden with a BBQ a beer and Bob Marley playing in the background) <--not metal but wtf Bob was the dogs bollocks
We need to keep this thread alive as long as possible

I enjoy Ghost's playlist, out of which I like all the bands except Sevendust, simply because I haven't heard them.
Entwine is wonderful music. I've cried to "Closer (My Love)" & "Safe in a Dream" many times.
Oh and I've given Tool MANY chances now, and I... just don't get it. The music fucking blows and is so incredibly boring that I want to kill myself. It doesn't matter that Danny is one of the best drummers I've ever heard, nor does it matter how complex it is, I just don't get it. It SUCKS.
I will never understand what people see in To-motherfucking-ol.
I could by the way hear their gig all the way to my house.
(they played in gothenburg the other day, the concert that el_boss attended)
