It&#8217;s been 13 long years since they released their last album &#8211; 10000 days, and many fans were starting to wonder if the title was a foreshadowing of when we&#8217;d hear from them again. Our fears have been assuaged however.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This new release is accompanied by a change from the band&#8217;s classic logo, which to be honest I don&#8217;t quite know how I feel about yet, but I think I can get used to it given some time. If it ain&#8217;t broke, why fix it? Then again, perhaps they felt the time had come to change their artistic direction somewhat?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I&#8217;ve taken the liberty of embedding the album&#8217;s release on Tidal, which can be enjoyed in glorious HiFi quality on this streaming platform, but it&#8217;s available on other services too, such as Spotify and Youtube to name a couple.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"position: relative; padding-bottom: 100%; height: 0; overflow: hidden; max-width: 100%;\"><iframe src=\"https:\/\/embed.tidal.com\/albums\/116415070?layout=gridify\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen style=\"position: absolute; top: 0; left: 0; width: 100%; height: 1px; min-height: 100%; margin: 0 auto;\"><\/iframe><\/div>\n\n\n\n<hr \/>\n\n\n\n<p>Hitherto, my favorite tracks off the album are Pneuma and Descending (incidentally, I was privileged enough to hear the latter live at Download Festival earlier this year), but on this album they all are &#8211; perhaps with the exception of Chocolate Chip Trip, which I&#8217;d say lives up to its name.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Musically I&#8217;m pleased with what I&#8217;m hearing. Mind you, I&#8217;ve only listened to the entire album once so far, so take it with a grain of salt. I&#8217;ve been known to let myself get carried away by hype before.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Still, so far so good, and I&#8217;ve been enjoying the music put out by this band for a decade and a half now.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>So, the new TOOL album is finally out.
