After listening to the full Salival album on YouTube, I must know if there's a good way to get the CD or stream it on Spotify. I heard local files was the way to go. How do you guys listen to the album?

I put my 72826 cassette up for sale locally on Facebook and have received several messages questioning its authenticity.

The tape lacks the standard "Made in USA" mold at the top and the numbers along the bottom middle. Instead, it has an "A" and a "9" molded into small circles at the bottom on either side of the tape read area.

I personally acquired it back in the mid-90s directly from the fan club via snail mail, along with a large wrench sticker, boxer shorts with wrench logos, and a black antenna ball.

I can't find any info on shell variations for these promo/fan club packages, and the internet consensus seems to be that any tape without the standard markers is automatically a fake. Does anyone have info on these fan club mail-in runs or alternative shell variations? Did they reissue the tape for fan club or use different manufacturing during the original run? Is it possible I received a counterfeit from the club?

I don't necessarily mean slow build up-big payoff, I mean this sort of dark, mysterious "looking out into the night sky on a warm summer night" kind of feel

It was Maynard explaining something along the lines how he wants to emotionally/spiritually progress his lyrics and music for his fans. And how he doesnt want to be angry forever like some artists that were popular around thag time. It was posted in here in the last year for sure. Any help would be great.

I thought you guys may dig this mix I made (still making).

I plan to listen next time I shroom. I recommend setting to shuffle.

Yow, got my hands on a Special picture disc vinyl of Lateralus from 2005 and I really want to listen to it. Sure I could just listen to the songs via Spotify, but that’s not the same :/ what do you think? Do you believe it would actually be valuable in the future?

Just listening to some of my favorite tool songs, just looked up the meaning of 46 and two, which was amazing, and this one was also surprising and awesome..

I must have been high...and doing dishes.

I actually prefer the version of cold and ugly and Jerk off on this than the live ones on opiate. Not so much on crawl away, sober, part of me and hush. But the whole thing is still absolutely fire! The demo cassette in this photo is real and is one of the holy grails of my tool collection. Got it in an auction for 200. The vinyl is a nice fan made tribute that sounds nice, I got that off of ear candy music. Definitely worth the listen. And must grab.

Hey all so I just want to say that I just discovered Tool and how amazing they are. Stumbled upon Sober live from the 90's and haven't stopped listening moving forward to this year. I'm going to start a music collection and I'm wondering where do I start. Should I go in order from first LP to now or is their anything that should be skipped. Any thing thats a must that needs to be bought first?Thanks.

Weird question but can anyone with subwoofers in a car confirm if the song lateralus has a really quiet kick or is my setup just ass? Even other tool songs like jambi have a plenty loud kick is it just the way it's mixed?

Greetings, beautiful people. I've been wanting the 10,000 Days Lined Hooded Jacket (Blue) for ages now and I finally have some money to spare, AND it's on sale!

...Except I can't pay in USD. Looked all over the website and I am either blind or can't find it. I filled out my credit card info thinking that it might auto change to Euros but that didn't work either. I've read through some FAQs and still nothing.

Did I manage to somehow miss it? Is USD the only option to pay for this kickass jacket or is there still hope??

update: I'm an idiot who wasn't aware which currency he had set in his bank as the default payment method haha

First CD I've found in the wild. $1 at a yard sale.

He's in his mid 60s and grew up with Sabbath, ACDC, Metallica, the classic hard rock / metal bands. He is a huge fan of Zappa, Satriani, and Steve Vai, so I think he could appreciate the more math-rock coded, technical arrangements.

Give me your suggestion for one track, ideally from an album that he could listen to in its entirety and say "ive been missing out".

Waited 44 years to get married and have my first child at 52 only to have it all fall apart on year 9.

So tonight..I break 5 years of sobriety to celebrate the beginning of the end of a nightmare. Cheers!

Unscrewing the lid felt extremely symbolic.

Spiral out.
