Tool fans NEED this album.

[NAD]

It's as essential as anything else in their catalogue, a selection of Tool songs played using only violin, viola, cello, and double bass.

That is all.

 

[Krilons Resa]

Holy Shit! WHat songs do they cover or did you just discover it and blindly reccomend it?!

 

[NAD]

No, I picked it up a few years ago, it came out right before Lateralus. It was difficult to find then, but half.com has a bunch of copies. GET IT YOU WILL GO GAGAGAGAGAY OVER IT.

Tracklist:
Sober
Intolerance
The Grudge
The Patient
Opiate
Hush
Schism
Ticks and Leeches
ÆNEMA
Pushit

EDIT: Yes, BEFORE Lateralus, and covers a few songs from that album, so obviously they were in good with the band.

EDIT TAKE 2: After Lateralus, I am not smart today. I think it was recorded before Lateralus came out though. I think.

Ive seen it a bunch of times before at Sam Goody and Borders but it was never a High priority for me. Maybe I shall pick it up next time if its not to expensive.

 

[NAD]

Buy it. You like Tool, therefore you will like it.

 

[Profanity]

Is it easily available?

i'd say its a well done album, and they do a fantastic job with the rearrangements... but i can't listen to it.. The reason being I will be listening to it, then lose track of what I'm listening to. I'll start relaxing to the soothing sounds of the string quartet, and then SUDDENLY AN OH SO FAMILIAR TOOL MELODY WILL RETURN, and it freaks me out man...

I'm pretty sure they put out a second album recently? (or maybe not so recently) with supposedly some original songs or two of their own on it.. no idea how that is.

I've rarely seen it in stores, but half.com has a whole bunch for sale.

Hehehe... nice. I don't know if they have another album out, wouldn't be surprised though. Just checked Amazon.com, they have string tributes to Evanescence and Matchbox 20 as well. Huh, a lot more too, including Radiohead. That one might be interesting...

Nice Kyuss reference by the way.

that tracklist makes it look killer.

 

[NAD]

Awesome. I definitely need to get that, and probably the Radiohead one as well.

 

[Krilons Resa]

Ya, the RAdiohead seems really interestinbg.
