Super excited about the album. Haven't heard anything aside from that song yet. Sounds like a Tool song. May wait to listen to the full album upon release, may not be able to...

My expectations were pretty low because I wasn't too fond of 10,000 Days to start with and I wasn't expecting them to come up with anything super exciting after a 13 year hiatus, but I have to say that I'm impressed! The album is an 80-minute monster with all tracks except for a crappy instrumental clocking in at over 10 minutes (plus some interludes that are missing from the leaked version), so I still have to listen to it a few more times for more things to stick, but I can definitely say I'm hooked. Well worth the wait!

Their sound is unmistakable. Yeah that new track is pretty cool. Glad to see Keenan is off his wine tangent. (kidding)

I revisited Aenema a few months back. That's a really terrific album. I've always felt a connection with the title track, its range of emotions, and lyrics, which at one point are laugh out loud funny. If I remember correctly, the song is a full hate-fest on Los Angeles and references an urban legend where the tides rise and swallow all of South California, creating 'Arizona Bay':

"One great big festering neon distraction,
I've a suggestion to keep you all occupied
(whispering-->) Learn to swim, learn to swim, learn to swim"

So good! I do miss Angry Maynard in this new album though

(Danny Carey is almost 60! WTF! HOW!)

You've got to embed these, mate. This old tune was great, but honestly I kind of lost the plot at 'the bull that gored my dad'. wtf

Otherwise the relaxing vibe reminds me of Lawrence Welk, and that midcentury American big band sound:

Suppose it doesn't matter if I do.

Good ol' Rammstein paid a visit to my city not long ago, and sparked some fresh interest in the band. We also had a retro LAN party with chiptune music, demoscene stuff etc.
Thus...

AUSLANDER!

Inca II menu theme music is terrific! Wish it were a longer track.

"Norman Fucking Rockwell!" is out today!

Unfortunately, not a single one of the other tracks I've listened to so far is as good as this one or "Venice Bitch", both of which are absolutely unfuckwithable, but overall it's a good album nonetheless. Maybe even my second favourite of hers, after Ultraviolence? Time will tell!
