Editorial Reviews (supplied by Amazon.com):

1) Amazon.com
With a majority of the songs on 10,000 Days clocking in well past the seven-minute mark, you wouldn't be entirely mistaken in thinking that the title of the album refers to how long it actually takes to make it through the whole thing. Two of the tracks--the sitar and tabla enhanced "10,000 Days (Wings Part 2)" and its suitably epic psych-rock sister "Rosetta Stoned"--even linger on for nearly a dozen leisurely minutes each. That's delightful news for the legion of Tool fans that have been waiting five years for the follow-up to 2001's Lateralus, which debuted at number one and sold 2.3 million copies in the United States. Singer Maynard James Keenan is back on mystical form after his hiatus with the politically slanted A Perfect Circle, sounding at once ethereal and eloquent as he calmly charges through the metal tempest of the opening track "Vicarious." The rest of the band, meanwhile, hits a series of high-flying moments with tracks such as "Jambi" and "The Pot." When Tool sounds as good as it does on these songs it's hard to get enough. Which makes it all the more baffling that a surprisingly large chunk of the disc is given over to mood-enhancing soundscapes like "Lost Keys" and "Vigniti Tres." Who has time for filler? --Aidin Vaziri

Sonically relentless and visually groundbreaking only begin to describe the Tool experience. Formed in Los Angeles, CA in 1990, Tool has cemented themselves in today's hard music community with uncompromising attitude and vision. With just one EP and three album releases over a 15-year span, Tool has created a loyal and even rabid fan base, selling over 10 million albums and half a million videos in the U.S. alone.More from ToolAenimaLateralusUndertowOpiateParabola (DVD)Schism (DVD)

Average Customer Rating: 4.0 out of 5

1) 10,000 Days - Tool   [Rating: 4 out of 5]
Excellent album and innovative packaging. I strongly reccomend this album. Tool fans may find this one a bit lighter than their earlier albums but I like that they are continuing to evolve as a band.

2) Great!!!   [Rating: 5 out of 5]
As usual, an absolutely great Tool album. I don't even know which of their albums is the best. Hypnotic, different, label-free sound. Not indicated for hip hop, pop and idiotic "music" fans.

3) STILL listening to this album!   [Rating: 5 out of 5]
The last reviewer stole my thunder somewhat.The previous two Tool records had songs on them that I really didn't discover until a year or so later. '10,000 Days' is a little different asI got into the songs immediately and haven't got sick of them yet.What makes this my favorite Tool record is that there more songswhich I like as compared to the three of four on 'Aenima' & 'Lateralus'.Standouts tracks are 'Vicarious' and 'Rosetta Stoned'

4) Perfection   [Rating: 5 out of 5]
I have been listening to this recrord for 2 years now and i'm still blown away. It is a timeless classic. Best production by far for a Tool Record and the songs are killer. Dont hesitate to buy this if you havnt allready. BTW the album packaging is worth the $ alone. It makes it worth it that this album is not available on itunes. YOu will see why when you purchase it. I am on my third copy of this album because i keep giving it to my friends. i will keep buying it untill i am broke.

5) Sound like an image   [Rating: 5 out of 5]
Just a few words about this TOOL album...Extraordinary...sublime (although I might be subjective about it), because I really like this band.This album comes with a nice 3D booklet and glasses that might enhance your audio experience with awesome 3D images.The audio experience is very TOOL specific and this album has a good sound production. I highly recommend it for every TOOL fan ...and not only !
