I enjoyed the new Burns documentary

I enjoyed Civil War, Vietnam War, Central Park Five, & Mark Twain. Country Music could be interesting. Burns is working on one about Hemingway.

That's awesome. I'm personally stuck on his work from the early 90s. Pump up the Volume, The Future, Natural Born Killers soundtrack, etc. Nobody has ever matched his version of Hallelujah!

One of my favorite LC songs is "Closing Time."

Yeah we're drinking and we're dancing
But there's nothing really happening
And the place is dead as heaven on a Saturday night
And my very close companion
Gets me fumbling gets me laughing
She's a hundred but she's wearing
Something tight
And I lift my glass to the awful truth
Which you can't reveal to the ears of youth
Except to say it isn't worth a dime
And the whole **** place goes crazy twice
And it's once for the devil and once for Christ
But the boss don't like these dizzy heights
We're busted in the blinding lights
Of closing time

Here's a nice banjo-infused version: https://soundcloud.com/old-man-luedecke/closing-time

How about this one, Light as the Breeze
Tonight, it's my favorite. IDK what I'd choose tomorrow.

And you're weak and you're harmless
And you're sleeping in your harness
And the wind going wild
In the trees,
And it ain't exactly prison
But you'll never be forgiven
For whatever you've done
With the keys.

Ok. New TOOL....
Thoughts? Might be still too early to have digested the album, it sure is for me. Pnuema is leaning towards my fav track (finally the Son of Schizm), 7empest a close second. Stupidly listening to it fragmented instead of track 1 to finish, so there is that to consider.
Here is the album via youtube (YERTUB!):

Note: the yertub album playlist is not track 1 - end. See the wiki for the tracklist for order.

Please do not give this a one off listen/response. One does not simply listen to TOOL. It's like Floyd that way ;)

I like some TOOL songs but I'm not as IN to them as some people. Maybe it's just me but I sense a "holier than thou" vibe from them, like we should bow down in front of them because they finally decided to grace us peons with some new music after 10 years. Then they go out on tour for 6 weeks?

6 weeks? Weak. I could have my facts wrong about the tour, like I said, I'm not really into them.

They aren't giving me what I load up TOOL for! I'm missing that visceral rage reaction that I get from tracks like Jerk-Off, Schism, or Aenima. It's recognizably TOOL, it's technically extremely proficient, it's artistic, it sounds like they need a Viagra! Did they all quit drugs again? It's like asking for Beethoven and getting Bach. :(

EDIT: May have been overly harsh / needed to vent. Had some tradesmen offer me their services on credit. Been hearing their same five Bon Jovi tracks all day / every day for two weeks now. Not a Bon Jovi fanboy. I can give Fear Inoculum a third listen tomorrow.

RE-EDIT: James got fed. You can't fake the hunger/pain in the older stuff. It's the same sound without the empty belly.
