The earlier versions are MUCH more vivid and powerful than the studio version. It's really not even close to be honest.

I completely agree. And Im just gonna say it: We love Danny, but we don’t always need a percussive nonagon to prove how complex and “envelope pushing” the drums in a song CAN be. I feel like he ruined Adam’s haunting riff at the climax if the finished version with that ridiculous (albeit awesome) drum sequence. It goes back to the old adage “just because you can doesn’t mean you should.”

Agreed. I loved this instrumental version + Maynard's 'chanting'.

​@@wingtipoutdoors6381i agree but i would like add. Tool only does what is needed. They never do extra nor less. Only what is needed. And as listeners we have to respect that they went with a different choice than this version.

YESSSS I seek this version out to remind myself what I witnessed in 2016. It's magic

@Tom Smith UNACCEPTABLE!!!!

@Syndrome of a Down yeah because tool never experiments with weird sounds

@Syndrome of a Down it sucks and doesn't fit because it's so common? with that logic they should stop using drums and distorted guitars, those are even more common, therefore they must suck!! brilliant logic, your username fits you

Leo Weo only friend left sadly.

I'll wait as long as it takes!!

"patiently"

Leo Weo absolutely!!!!!

"If there were no rewards to reap No loving embrace to see me through This tedious path I've chosen here I certainly would've walked away by now" I'M GONNA WAIT IT OUT I'M GONNA WAIT IT OUT

Full fucking blast.

Same here!!!!They are not ready!

As will mine.

LMAO! I was just blasting this in my car at the intersection on my way to get coffee this morning and I never blast music at an intersection. I'm excited! Not much longer....

Haha Yes!

exactly!

Amen

Your man is lucky

Hell yeah

Me too

Because it actually gets to the point. I was just thinking about this version today

Absolutely agree. I know it's unpopular opinion, but the album version of Descending, imo, is a complete bore. It goes absolutely nowhere and takes very long to do so. This 4 minute clip has so much more power than the actual song. Also, Fear Inoculum, Pneuma, Invincible, and 7empest all blow Descending out of the water.

@@DazedInTheDesert Agreed. Such a shame Descending demo was such a brilliant, poignant, cutting edge composition Descending official track is a demo made into an overextended, glorified 13 minute time investment The entire fear inoculum album suffers from this, just a little bit

I still listen to the album to get my fix but I totally agree i wonder if they could DEwork the songs somehow

tool is not a just a band, but a tool

Robert Zimmerman LOL

Robert Zimmerman a tool to bridge us into am experience we would otherwise be unable to connect to due to our earthly perspective

Maynard hates pretentious fans like you.

Yet I'm sure he doesn't favour those who point that out, either.

Whatever dude

Learn to write

@@alexcsont4285 Thanks man, I'll do that.

@Great White sure thing Great White, btw clever name.

@Great White truer words never spoken

This is the same artwork that's been uploaded to the tool website yesterday.

Oh yea I'm ready!!

gotta love how APC dropped last album(somebody pick it up) on 4/20. Be nice if TOOL did the same.

I have tears in my eyes thinking it’s true!

Dont get your hopes up they have been lying to us for years

Wills420913 lol get a grip

good for you but i feel like you need anger management more than anything lol

Yeah bud I hear ya

Soundcloud is free

I don’t punch people but that is also the only reason I have KZfaq premium!!!

Adam B I hope so. Something different for a change

It is why Maynard had done his job so quick!

Check out the lustmord schism and parabol remixes. Dark ambient soundscapes

Totally agree .. been to see tool a lot and I like maynard but really pay to see the other 3 tbh

lmao dude thats hilarious i personally find my self needing a dose every year or so

I know exactly where you're coming from mate. And you're not the only one. Amazing music. Not only have they grown musically, but as i have aged, i have always fallen back to their music, and grow with it. Amazing.

True that bro

Agree, I do, master.

Announced to be in April

Agreed.

@@PurpleGrizzlii by june

Yeah I've been listening to Tool Since 1997. LOVE IT ALL

Need...More!!

hahah omfg that would be a kick in the balls

That would be the biggest stitch up ever but I'd honestly laugh so fucking hard.

:v

well you are not far from truth lol

Hahahahah

2nd best

best live band ever confirmed multiple times

Wait they use to play this live before they released it?

Bruno Ferreira my face is ready

My soul is ready

Bruno Ferreira let go and it will come

My mind is ready

Can never be ready

Aaron Dawes like wise. Will it come though?

Picaso never told anybody, for 7 or 8 years, that he was making a new painting

@@rilesmcgapp5256 beside the point mate.

@@rilesmcgapp5256 he never told anybody he was painting another because (again).. nobody pressured him for one... so stop trying to justify your self absorbed sence of entitlement.

I think your missing the point... the more you tell people about it, the more questions that will be raised by other that didnt ask or even here the original question. But are still wanting to know about the album (that tool themselves spoke of) back in 2011. Long before it turned into an "event". So if they have mentioned it, prior to the intense public mocking and harrasment. Based on its sequencse in the series of events, couldnt you assume that the behaviour to follow, would be somewhat influenced by initial event? Then theres the issue of you trying to compare vastly different creative outlets like visually stimulating outlets such as painting and verbal or audible stimuli. To assume that an early century higher class citizen with genius artistic painting ability, would draw similar audience to a 21st century grudge/progesive rock/metal tidal wave. Then you compare 100+ year old society to our society. Assuming that the admirers of picaso are of same social evolution of our own. The only arguement that could be made it ATLEAST to an artist of our time. And show me this would famous '21st century' painter that doesn't have someone asking to see the painter lateast work, or questions of future endeavors. Your point does not hold solid foundation. Therefore you are in no position to critisis anyone else point. If picaso were alive today guarantee he would be getting hit up on instagram about when his next works gonna be out. And if he hinted and straight out said something was in the works this year for 7 or 8 years. You bet your ass people would be doing the same shit, in the 'artistics painters' kind of way. Good day sir!

@@rilesmcgapp5256 ...Hahaha a novelist, whilst you try to appear intelligent within your scattered ramblings...remember one thing, to be a true novelist you must sustain your audience. I was only three lines in and realized what a complete dumbass you were... then you lost me. Btw I said 'beside' the point. Not that you missed it. But hey thanks for proving that too. You know the long haired douche bag in 'good will hunting' that Matt Damon has words with? Your that guy aren't you LOL

Friday*?...possibly

@@lilzak1121 hopefully, the wait is deadly

ElDorito WE GUNNA EAT SOON

Lmao

I agree IMHO

Move your audio cable, it's in the R channel

Ha Ha Ha, funny!

Quinby Whitehawk New album (probably mid - end) 2018 announced and officially confirmed.

And don't forget the acid.

Quinby Whitehawk they use reel to reel cuz they are old AF and only know how to use reel to reel

actually they did 10 000 days on protools they recording and mastering program. it's actually pretty good and compatible with old equipments. with my band we will use it too, our guitar player is a studioworker and he has pro tool and all the cool vintage valve stuff

I love Maynards other projects. Especially Puscifer's newest album money shot. It was pure delicious gold!!! All the stuff APC has been putting out too!!! I just feel like everything is leading up to some kind of peak of perfection!!! So excited, but definitely willing to be patient!!

I read somewhere that the shortest song on the album is 11 minutes long.

It might be long (allot)

Lucas Teles 😂👍

I miss the time they were a metal band. Less artsy more fartsy!

Not me. They've learned how to make you think, and their songs are like spiritual exercises.

cheagan , I see your point. My favorite album and tour was Aenima and least favorite was lateralus. Aenima concert rocked but Lateralus they stood in front of screens with the iTunes visualizer on it.

I love it. Can't wait to hear the whole album. It will be in my car, volume at 11.

Can't stay angry forever, you should run with them.

Tool’s unique and brilliant sound takes you on a dynamic musical journey. One long incredible ride that never needs to end. Patience, friends, patience....

MDMA and Shrooms combined for me, but yep! WAITING PATIENTLY!!!

Shrooms for me boys

Lmao

Magic Mushrooms

Interdimensional Steve took two points of MDMA and 2 grams of cubensis and saw them at the Gorge Ampitheatre, best night of my life and best mix of drugs one could possibly imagine

Um, actually it's people in general that feel they're entitled... What about people that try to get autographs from movie stars, only to complain when they get rejected or unnoticed. Or all the men that will try to sexually exploit women? So if you want to talk shit about people... lump everyone in there together. We are all basically the same... "special snowflakes"... Like Tool fans are somehow worse? Besides Maynard sold his soul to make a record, and their deal is for 1 more... so YES HE DOES OWE US SOMETHING!

Nick Johnson- Ironically, your comment speaks for itself. I never lumped ALL fans of Tool into any categories but this feeling of entitlement you have, like the band owes you something is a commonly felt problem with their fan base. Just read the comments for proof. Tool are in there 50's, they're not the same kids they were when I seen them back in 1993. MJK has stated several times he's humbled by the cult like fan base they have but is finds this entitlement perverted. Tool/MJK owe you nothing, actually you should be the one that's thankful for what you have.

as true fans we owe them. We wont learn if we don't listen :|

Jeff Haas- Unsurprisingly you missed my point completely. 1. Child actors get swarmed by grown adults that demand something out of them 2. I never said you lumped ALL TOOL fans into your comment, however, I suggested that you lump ALL crazy fans into it, because Tool is NOT the only famous group that has crazy fans... 3. Cult following... Other bands and groups actually have terms for their cult followers, Tool fans are simply Tool fans. Juggalos and Trekkies are two examples that come to mind. 4. Tool has a contract with a record label for 1 more album. So again yes they owe us 1 more since it's in their agreement. As awesome as Maynard is, he's kind of dumb for expecting that his fame would somehow be different than everyone else? And you're all dumb for thinking "Tool fans" are somehow worse than your typical enthusiast. I'll add: Go read comments for Dewalt, Ridgid, Milwaukee, Snap-on, and whatever other kind of tool you want... you'll find the same self entitled comments all over which are directed towards a product. PEOPLE are selfish period. Being a Tool fan has nothing to do with it.

Nick Johnson- Good speach, I want more now!

They are touring there. Hope you got a ticket! cheers from Canada!!

No, but you can prioritize it over shitty dance music.

Hahaha, nice Toy Story 2 reference! That made my day.

F**k that! I'm rushing art. Hurry the F**k up. I'm an old geezer!!

He also said the album would DEFINITELY be out in 2018 a while back. Don't get your hopes too high. Might be later.

Just saw that...

Damn... thank you for saying that

Thank you so much for sharing your beautiful, unique and absolutely brilliant mentality... the epiphanies that you just helped me reach are life changing.

chessa we'll said. I believe u are right.

There’s always more to listen to in the stuff that’s already out there. I revisited undertow and it blew me away again but much much differently because of where I was each time I dove into it in the past. Your now is ever changing and if you wait long enough and then go back and listen to old stuff, it speaks to a new self. Hopefully a more enlightened self so you can appreciate it “from a different angle, under a different light, so that hopeful you can see it almost for the first time....”it’ll need your help though, it’ll need your permission, so find a comfortable space that is not only comfortable, but vulnerable and if you shut your eyes and go there that old music will meet you yonyeeotherside, yonyeeotherside, yonyeeotherside....” and you’ll learn even more about yourself. It’s a tool that was created as a finite and unchanging product that is also ever lasting and ever changing depending on which you is the one listening to it at this moment .

i would love to have friends with this mentality, cheers!

Mason Thomas im saying mid june

Don't you fucking lie!

Flippant As far as as far as Puscifer and A Perfect Circle go I would agree that all roads lead to Maynard. However with tool it's the four of them Adam Danny Justin and Maynard. When they changed the bass player lineup in put Justin in that was the true tool lineup. The band rights and composes the music for these tool songs long before Maynard ever gets to begin writing his lyrics so they all have a completely equal footing and it completely equal inspiration and a completely equal influence on how the album is going to turn out. So yes when Maynard touches something it turns to gold. Whether it be his contribution on the Tool album the things that he does with Puscifer and a perfect circle and when he makes wine everything he does turns to gold but with tool those four guys are equal there's no replacing any of those members at all and still have a true tool influence. And at the end of the day that's just my opinion have a good night.

Societies Byproduct just like eulogy its like a 2 minute build up then...Boom

Joshua Cragg ya they are good at building that anticipation up for sure amazing actually but I was referring to like waiting for ever for a pink Floyd album and then see why it took so long they don't put out crap. if you look at a video called "sober" 1987 you can see the rough draft of that song and why it took ten years too release.....he never stopped building it until it was a masterpiece

Societies Byproduct I'm glad you said that Tool are very progressive in there music i hope for another world tour dates for the UK would be wicked 🤘

Ricky Wilson I hope it's something that you get to see again in your lifetime for sure

Societies Byproduct ... except all the good members of Floyd were gone at that point, so you knew in your heart it would only be alright at best.
