I just picked up both the new TOOL album 10,000 Days, and the new self titled Pearl Jam album. I'm currently listening to the last track on Pearl Jam and I must say, this has been one good album. It isn't revolutionary like everyone on my local radio station seemed to think, but not at all dissapointing. To me it just sounds like the band has come into their own and refined their sound- evolved -if you will. I haven't listened to 10,000 Days yet, need the right atmosphere for Tool. But I expect it to be as good as the last album. They have yet to produce something that didn't blow my mind. And speaking of mind blowing, the album art is one of the coolest things I have ever seen. It's a stereoscopic 3D image on every page that you have to look at through these lenses attached to the CD case.
Anyway, these are two of my favorite bands and neither of them has done anything for several years, so I tought I would see what others had to say about it. Anyone else heard these albums?
