With TOOL releasing a new album, I just need a new Boards of Canada album for me to lose my shit. So while I wait, I am after substitutes. This is my latest find:

I bet there are more people listening to Tool right now than any other time in the history of the band.

I wonder if the band member(s) that was holding out on streaming is going to be kicking himself when he sees that first royalty check. Shoulda done this a decade ago...

I think Maynard was in favour, but others wanted the album to be listened to as a whole, as a piece of art. Which I do get, but that isn't how it works any more. You can't control people into listening to things how you want. I can put together my favourite TOOL songs and it is not an album back to back; it's a collection of songs.

In fact, in no particular order, here is my top 10:

Hooker With a Penis
Opiate
Schism
Forty Six & 2
Lateralus
Jambi
Stinkfist
Aenima
Jerk Off
Intolerance

Bonus because it wasn't written by them, but is fucking outstanding: You Lied

While I get the "albums need to be listened to as a whole" as an artistic argument (personally, I always listen to whole albums, never random tracks by various artists), I don't see why anyone would think it's relevamt from a business point of view. It also doesn't exactly line up with the fact they've released over a dozen singles.
It also kind of belittles your fans. I'm sure your fans will choose to enjoy the album in the best way possible . And if that isn't an entire album track-by-track then, well, so be it. Besides, it's not like you can't use a CD player's random function or rip CD's and add them to your mp3 collection.

In the same era, I caught this..

David Gilmour - Wish You Were Here

[youtube]EodytPmki5s[/youtube]

Trivia or of interest perhaps, "Wish You Were Here" was the title track on Pink Floyd's 1975 album Wish You Were Here.


This was followed by another of my favourites from The Alan Parsons Project, Sirius / Eye In The Sky

Awesome :up:

Saw both these guys (TWRP & The Protomen) live back in July. The new TWRP stuff was good. But there's still no sign of Act III.

Didn't like every hockey team use that as a goal song until, you know...

I know the Leafs use this one now (since it's hockey season again):
