Album Review: Tool - 10,000 Days (2006) B

Sounds Like: Tool

I like Tool. I really do. But they've never been one of my favorite bands. They have a lot of great songs. They also put out a lot of filler, too.

10,000 Days really isn't that much different from their last record, 2001's Lateralus. Well, okay, 10,000 Days is a bit more focused, there's a little less filler here. But musically, you could make a mixtape of Lateralus and this and not notice what songs go with which album.

That's not necessarily a bad thing. Tool for me, with some notable exceptions from Undertow and Aenima, is mostly background music type-stuff, and this record really doesn't change that.

Still a good listen and recommended.
