I was listening to it the other day with my wife and was like "this is good, it's mellow Tool". She was like this is mellow 
Much better IMO then the most recent A Perfect Circle album. Tickets go on sale in an hour for a bunch of shows. I'm gonna grab 4 for their gig in Brooklyn.
What's up with the "extra" tracks on the limited edition version of the album? I heard there is 10 extra min of material |
Yeah, I kinda dig the new condense, concentrated, mellowed down version. I used to attend raves on a regular basis when I was younger. Still dig some the music, but I get more into the more minimal stuff now versus the loud, up-tempo banging stuff I was into back then. Perhaps it's just age, but I can appreciate more contemplation in a condensed version these days versus just loud and fast.
Good luck on the tickets, I'm skipping this round of shows and not even keeping up with what's going on with tickets to save my sanity. From the fans I follow on instagram, they are all pretty damn well upset with pricing and availability. It's crazy at how much their tickets are in demand, and for good reason. I've been to, I wouldn't say a ton of shows, but an eclectic mix of artists and I've yet to anyone lay it down live, like they do. Their timing is unreal.
As for the APC album, it filled the void until the Tool album dropped I suppose. Not their best work, but I did enjoy it. Also enjoyed and agreed with much of message presented in the lyrics. I have this love/hate relationship with my interpretation of who Maynard is as a person, but I definitely admire his views on society as a whole.
The missing tracks on the album are just fillers between songs. Nothing major, but it does help the album flow between tracks. The girlfriend and I will be making a small road trip this weekend, so I'm hoping to be able to listen to it in it's entirety while driving.
Good luck on the tickets and let me know how it goes.
BTW, in the event that you didn't buy the limited edition album, I read somewhere they were printing more due to high demand but only a few will be printed and sold, but then there will be no more.
