I Love Indian People

Yeah, I was playing mine in my car at 10:03a.m. I was the first guy into
Best Buy at exactly 10. Everyone there waiting at the door was in line
behind me 20 seconds later; evidently they came that early for the same
reason I did.

So I got to work and ripped it into iTunes at 256bit AAC. That’s almost
definitely unecessary, but I care not — it’s the new Tool CD for God’s sake.

Anyway, so far it’s an absolutely amazing album (I’m only like halfway
through). I am the type who tends to change what songs I like most over time
— especially after hearing more than 5 times or so in a variety of
conditions (in car, at work, at home, etc.).

I think the best music is the kind that first strikes you with a major
impact due to certain characteristics, but then over time starts to reveal
layers and layers of additional reasons to love it. So like, songs that you
didn’t like before suddenly become your favorite like 2 years later. Tool
has always been like this for me, and I don’t think this record is going to
be any different.

If there are any Tool fans out there, chime in with your thoughts on the new
release. And if you haven’t got your copy yet, find a sword and fall on it.

Edit: Oh, here are the lyrics for the new release:
