1. i like it compared to the rest of their stuff.

and ill probably buy their next release. but its still not something i can listen to too much... but its aight...

[Droopy]

2. I've just heard one song off of it

I like it, but I don't know about the entire album.

3. I'd say "decent"

It's better than Toxicity, and infinately better than Steal This Album, and it's still better than a lot of mainstream crap.

4. I found Toxicity profoundly good - the jury's still out for me

Like any album - I must soak in it

[Initech]

7. Toxicity is good, but...

I did kind of get tired of SOAD for a while.

5. That's a great album.

They are the best hard band around now.

6. Absolutely love it.

More often than not, I usually have to soak in an album, too, but not with this one. I loved it immediately. I started it on track 1, and was never once tempted to skip any tracks. I'm pumped for Hypnotize now.

My one complaint is the sharp increase in lead vocals for Daron Malakian. He's alright, and I like their harmonies, but leave the lead for Serj - his voice is one of a kind, and Daron's sounds a bit whiny and can get annoying, IMO.

Oh, and I never understood why "Steal This Album" is so hated. I felt there were tracks on there that could've easily replaced a few on Toxicity. "Streamline" anyone? That songs blows my ass out every time.

P.S. Take note of my sig line - funny you asked about this album since I just put that in about an hour ago!

8. I will say that I prefer Serj to Daron or pretty much most anybody these

days - cept Maynard James Keenan

[Tafiti]

9. Mmmm, MJK.

Can't wait for that new Tool album - they better not fucking drag us along for months, but I'm sure they will...fuckin' assholes.

MJK's scream is unparalleled in the whole music scene - it's so pure it almost sounds like he's singing sometimes. He's the shit.

10. Yeah!

Though Danny Carey is my favorite Tool!
