Vicarious!!!

I downloaded the new Tool song "Vicarious" about an hour back. I've listened to it 7 times back to back until now. Here I am writing about it! The track totally kicked my ass. The good news is that it sounds like a track off Ænima! Amazing vocals (of course!) and riffs. A brilliant breakdown with trademark Danny Carey drumming. Shit, shit! I can't wait for the entire album. Will post a complete review then.

An excerpt from http://www.fmqb.com/Article.asp?id=193086 :


In a recent interview with Britain's Kerrang! magazine, the band said politics had a big influence on the music and lyrics for the new effort. "We have the most retarded President we've ever had and we're frustrated, and that's the reason it's a little heavier this time," drummer Danny Carey told Kerrang! "That level of frustration, like when we first got the band together, we were products of that f***ing Reagan thing, we were pissed off and bummed out, we had that angst, and now it's coming forth again. Like it or not, we're products of our environment. We're pissed off again."

I'm not sure i like the new lyrical direction, too direct. But the song totally kicks ass. the last 30 seconds are absoulute awesomeness... and Danny Carey's a monster...

I know what you are saying. I was a little disappointed when APC went all political with Emotive. Anyway, lets hope for the best..! Btw, an other dumb question. APC or Tool?!

Tool kicks APC's ass anyday. what say?
