up to my neck soon to drown. But you changed that all for me. Lifted me up, turned me around. So I... I... I.... I...

I WOULD. I WOULD. I WOULD WISH THIS ALL AWAY

Pray like martyr dusk til dawn
Beg like a hooker all night long
Tempted the devil with my song
AND GOT WHAT I WANTED ALL ALONG

Post by: Phoenix Dark on February 06, 2007, 06:11:43 PM: Game Theory is a good album. Not amazing imo. There are some real mellow songs on the album that feel out of place.

The first few tracks are great tho :)
Title: Re: The Roots - Game Theory cleared up my horrible horrible headache
Post by: BlueTsunami on February 06, 2007, 06:13:08 PM: I like the mellow dropoffs and the ups. Theres probably 1 or 2 tracks that I skip.

Clock With No Hands sucks so much

Gah, they didn't play Wings last year, thank Christ.

I can't stand that song. I think it's the first Tool song that I truly despise. The lyrics aren't bad, but Jesus, they're not omfg fantastic either and the music is boooooring.

Title: Re: The Roots - Game Theory cleared up my horrible horrible headache
Post by: Phoenix Dark on February 06, 2007, 06:20:43 PM: Wings is amazing imo. There are a couple parts of the song that really blow me away, mainly...

High is the way, but our eyes are upon the ground
You were the light and the way that they'll only read about.
I only pray Heaven knows when to lift you out.
Ten thousand days in the fire is long enough.
You're going home.

You're the only one who can hold your head up high.

Shake your fist at the gates saying:
I have come home now.
Fetch me the spirit.
The son, and the father.
Tell them their pillar of faith has ascended.
It's time now, my time now.
Give me my, give me my, wings.

I love that part
Title: Re: The Roots - Game Theory cleared up my horrible horrible headache
Post by: Mupepe on February 06, 2007, 06:23:34 PM: They're good, but I don't think it's nearly the best thing MJK has ever written. The tempo of the song nulls any lyrical quality IMO.

Post by: Van Cruncheon on February 06, 2007, 06:30:44 PM: it's pretentious as fuck and unlistenable to me :punch

Post by: Phoenix Dark on February 06, 2007, 06:36:51 PM: It's amazing. If you want to talk about something pretentious on 10,000 Days than talk about Rostetta Stoned, which is absolutely horrible

Rosetta Stoned grew on me musically. Lyrically it's trash. But Tool has never been the "master of lyrics" as so many gaffers like to think. Most of their music, outside a few pieces (Jimmy for example) have been VERY straightforward. Exampe: Hush from Opiate. Very simple. But Rosetta Stoned is crap lyrically but musically, I love it. The ranting at the beginning of the song is OBNOXIOUS. Sorry. I can't stand it. They should have left it out and it was even worse live.

The ranting is horrible. It pisses me off even more because the short "song" that comes before Rosetta Stoned is a nice intro and sounds cool. Then you get to Rosetta Stoned and it's like WTF is this shit. But I would up saying "WTF is this shit" a couple times while listening to 10,000 Days...

Vicarious 9.5/10
Jambi 9.5/10
Wings For Marie (Pt 1) 8/10 (pretty good for an intro)
10,000 Days (Wings Pt 2) 9/10
The Pot 10/10 OMG
Lipan Conjuring WTF/10
Lost Keys (Blame Hofmann) 6.5/10
Rosetta Stoned WTF/10
Intension 7/10
Right In Two 8.5/10
Viginti Tres WTF/10

I like the strange riff, as well as the doctor/nurse/patient conversation. Plus it sounded like a killer intro. I remember being hyped to hear Rosetta Stoned based on GAF jizzing all over it as the greatest Tool song of all time. Then I heard it and thought I might have downloaded the wrong version of the CD :lol

Greatest Tool song of all time is Pushit, boys and girls.
