[QUOTE="CV355, post: 16283956, member: 181885"] It's not so much that they are long songs, it's that they are [U]repetitively[/U] long. I love a good sprawling epic intro (like Parabol/Parabola or Lateralus), but every song can't have one. They do mix it up instead of just repeating the same 2-3 bars, but the changes are mainly syncopation / polyrhythms / time signature changes that only a keen ear recognizes. To most people, they're just playing the same damn 2-3 bars over and over. I'm not saying I don't like Tool, or that the new album is bad, it's just... predictable. Think "All Apologies" by Nirvana. The end of the song is atrociously bad. My wife punches the power button on the radio after the second "all in all it's all we are." Turn the dial to the left, you have less repetition, sounds more proggy. Turn it all the way to the right, you get pure repetition and no dynamics. This is the right way to do a 17 minute song without it getting stale halfway in: [MEDIA=youtube]MSEQZ8reJA4[/MEDIA] [/QUOTE]
