What do you think about Schism, the first single from Lateralus (coming out May 15th)? If you dont have it, or did not hear it on the radio check out:

Listening to it right now, i like the sound, but the lyrics are a little weak for TOOL...Im sure after listening to it more and more im sure i will like it more and more. Though Undertow is still and will always be my favorite TOOL album...

Lyrics are OK. For me the song starts a little slow. I dont think Schism will be my fav song on the CD. I have heard that the other songs are VERY drum heavy (Danny is the man!). Schism seems a little too controlled.

I still think that Aenima is their best effort . . . but I dont know, Lateralus will blow it out of the water. The thing about this album is that after 5 years TOOL is going to make sure that EVERY song on the CD is ****ing kick ass.

Saw that TOOL is playing Atlanta, the Tabernacle, on May 15, which I think is Tuesday two weeks from now. Great small venue, even if you do have to brave downtown Atlanta.

Just thought some of you would like to know. I saw this in my local Free Times, I haven't checked pollstar.com to verify.

Sorry buddy, but that thing sold out in 30 seconds or so. REALLY! It was almost that quick. Scalpers have ticks. But they are selling them for $200 because everyone wants one.

Neither can I. I dont care as much any more. I have been waitin' real hard for over a year. I run a TOOL mailing list, so I have always kept up on the news . . . but after TOOL has delayed the album a few times, I kind of get used to it.
