is it? this is a thread discussing GENRE. Â by saying that 10k days is a blues album is factually incorrect.Â
Actually, the thread title was created by HB when he moved it out of the other thread. I made the comment that Maynard had described 10kD as their "blues record" and children and I started talking about how, if MJK described it as such, how might we describe the other albums?
And of course that got taken far too literally and trashed without a second thought as to what we were actually trying to discuss (which I have since clarified, but seems to be willingly ignored.)

God damn it. Why must every thread turn into an argument. Can't we all just get along?
Fuck.
I can sum it all up into this: Someone has an opinion. Others do not understand or agree with that opinion. Fucking mint.
Maynard said it was their blues album. As with any of their statements, no one seems to understand this. Therefore, we argue about he meanings of that statement. Nothing is gained.
I assume most people who see he title of the thread might think it's about the old discussion about exactly what genre Tool fits under. To that, I've come to a conclusion: Who cares? I don't. I like their music. Moving on.
Have a fantastic day.

Let's stick to the topic at hand please, there's a perfectly good bickering thread for those that need it.
Personally I'm not sure what the problem is, I don't think children is trying to suggest it's a blues album, more that it has themes and elements from that style. Â You guys should focus more on the discussion, and less on the trolling children circle jerk.

Well yeah, I'm in the same basket. I don't really care about what their music is actually labelled. I just thought it was fun to spitball that if MJK thought 10kD was blues, how might he describe the other albums.
But it seems to have gone over most people heads. Awesome how an interesting topic finally emerged from the mess that was the Tonedeaf thread, only for it to be shat upon almost immediately. Great discussion forum guys.

There's several sentences where children claims 10,000 is a blues album, as if he knows it's fact. So I offered help in finding out why that was incorrect, and then he basically showed he didn't care. I gave up. I'm not trying to troll him.
I don't have a problem with people discussing the themes and elements in a song, but I do have a problem when people claim "facts" that aren't true.

That's not how I read it at all. Â Not sure why people presume anything someone posts on a forum is fact rather than opinion.

John Lee Hooker is turning over in his grave right now. Â Wow some of you fucks are gullible. Â As for "chilling" out, I couldn't be calmer. Â Eating a wonderful dinner reading some highly entertaining and utterly ridiculous shit. Â This is better than christmas.
THIS is the BLUES. Â Silly kids.

No one is saying that Tool is anything but Art Rock/Art Metal. We're talking about the evolution from album to album and the musical structures that each one contains. 10,000 Days isn't blues, but it has elements of blues in it.
see, that's me, CHILDREN, saying exactly the opposite of what i'm being accused of

Anyways, heres my take.
Opiate - Has an indy punkish sort of vibe to it
Undertow - Rock. Maybe I'd call it grunge, but only because of the year it came out =)
Ænima - Metal
Lateralus - Some kind of barefoot hippy drum circle music.
10,000 days - Blues/Emo.
Before you have a chance to argue with your holier than thou, self righteous opinions, make sure you go fuck yourself. I'm just playing a game. I know this is going to be hard for most of you to understand, but your thoughts and opinions on what I just posted don't mean shit and never will. Grow the fuck up... eat shit... kill yourself... whatever, pick one..... no skin of my nuts either way.
