There is a new TOOL album out.
I so love this band it's incredible ;)
I guess for the fans of the band it will be great :D

The lyrics for the single VICARIOUS

Eye on the TV
Cause tragedy thrills me
Whatever flavor
It happens to be

Like:
“Killed by the husband”
“Drowned by the ocean”
“Shot by his own son”
“She used the poison in his tea
And kissed him goodbye”
That’s my kind of story
It’s no fun til someone dies

Don’t look me at like
I am a monster
Frown out your one face
But with the other

Stare like a junkie
Into the TV
Stare like a zombie
While the mother holds her child
Watches him die
Hands to the sky crying,
“Why, oh why?”

Cause I need to watch things die
From a distance
Vicariously I
Live while the whole world dies
You all need and choose your own lie

Why can’t we just admit it?
Why can’t we just admit it?
We won’t give pause until the blood is flowing
Neither the brave nor bold
Will write us the stories so
We won’t give pause until the blood is flowing

I need to watch things die
From a good safe distance
Vicariously I
Live while the whole world dies
You all feel the same so

Why can’t we just admit it?

Blood like rain falling down
Drawn by grave and ground
Part vampire, part warrior
Carnivore and voyeur
Still have the transmittal
Sing to the death rattle

La la la la la la la-lie

Credulous at best
Your desire to believe in
Angels in the hearts of men
But pull your head on out your head
Please and give a listen
Shouldn’t have to say it all again

The universe is hostile,
So impersonal
Devour to survive
So it is, so it’s always been

We all feed
On tragedy
It’s like blood to a vampire

Vicariously I
Live while the whole world dies
Much better you than I
 
I am a huge fan of this band also.
They really opened up a whole new world for me when I was a teenager (early 90's).
I had never heard a band touch the kind of subjects they did. Very esoteric content as well as a very
liberating, think for yourself, message. I've been listening to the new album for a couple of days now
and I like it. The lyrics for this album are here: http://toolshed.down.net/lyrics/10kdayslyrics.php
 
Same here.

The album is great.
I had to listen to it a few times because I wasn't sure at the beginning that I'd like it.

Very good lyrics.
Thanks for the link.

I am eager to see their new video as well.
They are all amazing.
 
I like the album as well, though personally I find that it kind of peters off at the midpoint of the album, 'The Pot' being the last really heavy song. After that, there are the heavier parts of Rosetta Stoned, but after that it just feels like the album meanders around some more, and closes with an instrumental track, which kind of bothers me. I like Tool a lot, but they seem to over use filler tracks a little too much (Aenima being the most guilty of it) and it breaks the flow of an album, although they've gotten better since. The instrumental at the end of 10,000 days doesn't work for me, because there was nothing building up to it, like, prior epic, loud tracks, into a meditative instrumental.

That's my 2 cents anyhow.
