Anyone else get the actual CD yet (not the copy off the net)? Very original cover art with the 3D viewing (glasses) apparantly has some kind of hidden meaning. There's 4 pics of each of the band members along with closeup pics of items from each of their pics. On the official website the word is that its all a part of a "puzzle" to figure out.
Alrighty, who is the brightest person here that can figure out what in the world the message is? Apparantly some of the items are relics or copies from Aleistar Crowley as well as some skulls, ravens, wine, books, embryos, etc...

I wasn't aware that the album itself had a message.aside from the directions to use the glasses to go through the album insert.I guess I'll look for the message when I get back home tonite

Maybe I'm getting old, but I don't even look at the cds anymore, I just go straight to the music. The new album is great. My favorites so far are tracks 3,4, and 10.
I can't wait to see Tool again. I've seen them every time they come through Houston, the last time in the first row. The only other band that I get as excited to see is the Deftones.

Yes, I had heard a few weeks ago. Thanks. The Deftones sent out an email today offering pre-sale tix. I can't wait. They put on a great show. The crowd really gets into it, kind of like Slayer in the 80s.

The pre-sale started this morning at 10am for the first 8 shows of the tour. Regular ticket sales start Saturday. If you go the family values site, the pre-sale password is Deftones.

Ok back to the original question of the "message" that's in the new tool insert,I think I found it,if not I fount somthing really cool,but I'm not gonna fully give it away.look through the glasses wile going through the insert,and go to the page that has a bunch of words on it,and try to look or read down,and watch what happends and what the message is

This is not strictly in topic,but I'd like to ask your opinions on the music itself too.
I found 10,000 Days interesting.It has quite enough space to let your mind dive into its depths. And by the atmosphere I felt like this is a sequel to Lateralus,did you get the same feeling while listening to it?
Despite it's a good album I must also say that it does not reach the peek of Tool's most emotional work,which is still Ænima IMO.

That's exactly how I feel about the album. It could easily be a sequel to Lateralus. While it's good, it doesn't pack the emotional punch of their first two albums. But then again, for how many bands can we say that? I just saw Nine Inch Nails for the third time on this tour and while the music was good, it was a bit boring.
Only the Deftones are still as exciting live, but the last couple of albums don't pack the same emtional punch either.
