Release Notes:

With a majority of the songs on 10,000 Days clocking in well past the seven-minute
mark, you wouldn't be entirely mistaken in thinking that the title of the album
refers to how long it actually takes to make it through the whole thing. Two of
the tracks--the sitar and tabla enhanced "10,000 Days (Wings Part 2)" and its
suitably epic psych-rock sister "Rosetta Stoned"--even linger on for nearly a
dozen leisurely minutes each. That's delightful news for the legion of Tool fans
that have been waiting five years for the follow-up to 2001's Lateralus, which
debuted at number one and sold 2.3 million copies in the United States. Singer
Maynard James Keenan is back on mystical form after his hiatus with the
politically slanted A Perfect Circle, sounding at once ethereal and eloquent as he
calmly charges through the metal tempest of the opening track "Vicarious." The
rest of the band, meanwhile, hits a series of high-flying moments with tracks such
as "Jambi" and "The Pot." When Tool sounds as good as it does on these songs it's
hard to get enough. Which makes it all the more baffling that a surprisingly large
chunk of the disc is given over to mood-enhancing soundscapes like "Lost Keys" and
"Vigniti Tres." Who has time for filler?
