With a majority of the songs on 10,000 Days clocking in well past the seven-minute mark, you wouldn't be entirely mistaken in thinking that the title of the album refers to how long it actually takes to make it through the whole thing. Two of the tracks--the sitar and tabla enhanced "10,000 Days (Wings Part 2)" and its suitably epic psych-rock sister "Rosetta Stoned"--even linger on for nearly a dozen leisurely minutes each. That's delightful news for the legion of Tool fans that have been waiting five years for the follow-up to 2001's Lateralus, which debuted at number one and sold 2.3 million copies in the United States. Singer Maynard James Keenan is back on mystical form after his hiatus with the politically slanted A Perfect Circle, sounding at once ethereal and eloquent as he calmly charges through the metal tempest of the opening track "Vicarious." The rest of the band, meanwhile, hits a series of high-flying moments with tracks such as "Jambi" and "The Pot." When Tool sounds as good as it does on these songs it's hard to get enough. Which makes it all the more baffling that a surprisingly large chunk of the disc is given over to mood-enhancing soundscapes like "Lost Keys" and "Vigniti Tres." Who has time for filler? --Aidin Vaziri

 Further proves that Tool are one of the most talented bands in music. November 10, 2008
Alex TB
While I would have deemed 10,000 Days the worst Tool album to date a couple of months ago, I have given it enough time to decide that it is slightly better than Undertow. The sheer quality of the album is simply shadowed by how difficult and limit pushing the music is. Every song on the album is in some way a new exciting revelation for Tool, who having been out of the studio for five years really had to prove that they weren't loosing their touch. Some familiar aspects of Tool are still here. The touches of filler, the difficult rhythms, and progressive style are still here. These details remind us that Tool is still very much one with their fans. During the filler song Lipan Conjuring, Adam Jones "sings" along lightly with a creepy Native American chant. This detail caught my ear for some reason. It is just a subtle reminder that the band does not let up, even when they are crafting a small, seemingly insignificant nuance. Once again, every corner of the album shows Tool doing what they do best in new ways. Maynard's voice sounds much different at times, which is alright, because his voice actually sounds more smooth and his lyrics are only getting better and more insightful. The radio hit Vicarious is hypnotically dark, as the lyrics describe our painful world to be like. The song segues almost seamlessly into Jambi, which starts with extremely low toned guitar and drum blasts, and ends up being one of the more engaging tracks on the album. In this way, the album is extremely progressive and some songs move into one another extremely well. The most difficult part of the album is the long, pained Wings for Marie series, dedicated to Maynard's recently departed mother. Tool have never made a piece this long and progressive, and it's fun if not a little difficult to get through. The album contains less memorable riffs than other Tool albums, but on the other hand The Pot is easily among the absolute best songs the band has ever creates. It has rock solid riffs, a frenetic pace, and downright unbelievable guitar and bass work. In fact, the entire album features perhaps the most impressive instrumentation the band has shown yet. The latter parts of the album tend towards more hypnotic psychedelia. It's a difficult album, and not always fun, but it has some great, classic Tool songs and it expands the band repertoire even further, proving that Tool really ARE amazing and don't lose momentum.
Although a crumb speck of disappointment, 10,000 Days is a beautiful delivery by Tool. October 21, 2008
Brok Spiker (Somewhere, IL USA)
I'm surprised to see alot of negativity towards Tool's fifth release. I'll admit--upon hearing it, I was a little critical of it all as well, mainly because of the lack of songs. I thought the album was way too short, not because of the runtime but because there is only really "Vicarious," "Jambi," "Wings for Marie/10,000 Days," "The Pot," "Rosetta Stoned," and "Right In Two" that are actually songs with strong vocals--the rest are ambient fillers.
I'm not at all being negative, because the songs that are there are amazing--especially Wings for Marie/10,000 Days.. that in MY opinion, equals the genius of Parabol/Parabola, and could possibly be my favorite song on the entire album. None-the-less, Vicarious comes second, because when I put the album in for the first time, this is what I expected Tool to sound like after 5 years--don't get me wrong, but alot of people thought this was a complete disappointment due to the 5 year wait.. I disagree.
Tool has always amazed me and has always braught good music to my ears, and 10,000 Days did not fail me.. so if you're an avid fan that for reason of bad reviews, didn't pick this album up--just go ahead.. after all, it's still Tool. If you're someone who has heard a few things on the radio stations and are looking for your first Tool album, start where it all began, buy Opiate--listen to it for a few weeks, then get Undertow and again listen for a few weeks--repeat this until you have all of their albums and have experienced Tool like most should have had the priviledge of.

R. Hellmann (Knoxville,TN)
This album is astounding. The music is complex, experimental, ornate, passionate, and at times very strange. There are no filler tracks here; instead you find 11 thought-provoking, powerful pieces of art. The actual artwork is the same quality as the music, especially when viewed through the stereoscopic glasses. In short, Tool shatters and incinerates the status quo with this tribute to singer Maynard James Keenan's mother.

I was very surprised that the overall opinion on this album was so negative. Because this is, not only the best Tool album (Lateralus is very close, I admit), it is also one of the best albums I've ever heard, hands down - and one of the albums I've heard the most times in my life. So many times I know every passage, every awesome bass chop, every drum fill down to the last detail (well, almost) - and yet I still haven't tired of it! If anything, it keeps getting better.
I suppose I, on an objective level, can see why some of you might feel disappointed - it is a slow-moving, long, dragged-out affair as opposed to especially Undertow and Aenima, but it's also incredibly fresh and instantly intruguing in many cases. At least I was instantly awe-inspired by the guitar intro to "Jambi", the new-found highly political aspect to the lyrics on "Vicarious" (and later I discovered, to most of the album), the godlike basslines of "The Pot" as well as the unusual, awesome, high-pitched vocal perfomance.
These all rank among the very best Tool pieces, along with the melancholic, existential album closer "Right in Two".
The more indigestible, and not as instantly compelling parts would include "Rosetta Stoned" - which can be a little hard to take in at first. And it is the piece on the album that seems most out of place. It sounds like 3 or 4 songs rolled (smashed) into one, alternating between frantic ranting and soft vocals. Sometimes it actually sounds like Tool's style around the first album, sometimes it sounds more like nothing else they've ever recorded. But as with everything here it really grows on you, becoming a neatly-woven mesh of awesome riffs and evil, really evil drumming and bass-playing - ending up utterly enjoyable.
The "Wings for Marie"/"10,000 Days"-"saga" as well, can probably also be justified as being a little "inaccessible". And it certainly is long, and certainly takes some twenty more or less focused listens to fully appreciate, but certainly also is the most rewarding song here. It is so sad and spiritual it really moves me in a way Tool has never done before. It concerns Maynard's mother who was in a wheelchair for 10,000 days and eventually died, which in itself is heart-breaking, but the beauty lies in the way it's mediated. So epic, so beautiful, slowly building up and evolving from rain to thunderstorm; echoing guitars, eerie cymbal/percussion work, but with the bass serving as the main rhythmic factor until it escalates into something with a more regular chorus-like feeling. Then it sort of breaks apart into a more jammy passage, eventually being gathered in tranquility. Truly the most epic Tool song ever, I'd say - and a worthy goodbye from Maynard to his Mother.
As demonstrated in the previously mentioned two-parter, this is very much bassist Justin Chancellor's album. He seems to have really grown to be a more prominent figure in the band, demonstrating his amazing skill and creativity throughout the album (and he is just as awesome live!), but especially on "Wings"/"10,000 Days" and "The Pot", both of which rank among the best metal-bass performances ever for me.
The only negative statement I can remotely relate to, is the amount of "filler" this album has. "Lipan Conjuring", "Lost Keys", "Intension" (more or less) and "Viginity Tres" all don't sound quite as memorable or "complete" as everything else here.
But the way I have come to look at it, the album consists of the 7 "real" songs, which would actually be adequate to make up the best Tool album on their own because of the sheer quality they possess in terms of songwriting as well as musical craftmanship and thoroughness - with these shorter pieces serving merely as interludes between them. '10,000 Days' seems like it is very much an album that is intended for listening to from beginning to end - as one coherent experience; and for those who have the time, there is something truly extraordinary in store. An incredibly spiritual, moving, impressive and complex album.
Tool continues to get better with each passing release - at least in my opinion.

I wasn't a fan of Tool until I heard Vicariuos, Jambi, The Pot, and 10,000 days. But once I heard those, the other songs followed, as well as the other cds.
