              I still find it a great album. It's just that they have come quite a way since. The title track is really outstanding. Very motorpsychedelic in its second half. But… "straight forward".. huh what? 8O :lol:

                  I was very impressed by Lore but going back to it now after Omens, wow… they made a huuuge step forward. Stylistically surely less so than the step up to Lore but this one here I find so much more mature than Lore. Where that one also offered songs with lots and lots of ideas, it felt somewhat randomly put together, as if you could swap any riff from any song with any of the others and you'd get the same – yet great! – result. For me Reflections Of A Floating World already did that already a bit "better" but on Omens each song stands carved out on its own. My impressions… might change, though.

                  I also love their Krautrock adventures on Reflections' "Sonntag" and on The Gold & Silver Sessions.

                  on a sidenote: I really liked Tool a lot up until Lateralus. But I got bored with their newer albums and wondered why. Complex check. Dense check. Intense check. Unique check. So… why? I blame Elder (and that lil' band from Norway). NOT COMPARING. Just sayin' :)

                    Totally with you. I have too much vinyl and dread the day I‘d have to move. But The Light Fantastic’s sleeve artwork is hilarious and genius and if there‘s one to have non-digitally then it‘s this one.

                      I got into them by luck. With a MP order stickman sent me their then new album „Lore“ as freebie single sleeve CD and wow was I impressed. Never seen them live yet. But must. It‘s great all the way through but „Halcyon“ and the 2nd half of „Embers“ are my fave moments.

                          damn, how good are the title track and The Jig is Up? I put it out there that these two are not really considered to be members of the go-to-classic-MP-songs club, but shouldn't they be?

                            But not having a proper DVD release of that opera show will bug me forever.

                              compare it to with… I'm not native english so I don't know all the subtleties but like to learn :)

                              @johnny

                              So the ridiculesness (if that's a word) you see popping up when looking at the zeitgeist field, not in the albums' contents themselves? Well yes, TDDU might be considered to be more out of its time than those legendary concept albums were. Or rock operas if we want to call them so, but that's splitting hairs for me. Heck, they played that thing in an opera! :lol: I'm the first to put art in a zeitgeist context, especially when defending its value. But when it comes to TDDU I don't care if it was 2012 or 1973. It's bold and grand and a concept album and who knows, given a bigger budget, we might have seen a Unicorn movie and stadium tour and all the pomp as well.

                              oh thanks Anders! been there, too!

                                I agree there seems to be a sort of tongue-in-cheek attitude around the thing. But its execution is dead serious with a huge perfectionist working attitude. We don't know what really went through their minds. To say it was just a joke… hmmm I don't think they would agree. ;)

                                Why is it ridiculous to compare it to other concept albums? TDDU is one of them. Which one who ever prefers or how any of them differs from another one doesn't matter in that regard. It's a "genre" and I wanted to point out that I find TDDU way better than those famous and celebrated and landmarkey and whatnot ones, and I DO like and respect those.

                                  one of my top 5 ever albums btw. Just listened to it a few days ago, and I'm still in awe of its perfection. "Rock meets classic" done as it should be done. It's all organic, interwoven, synergetic. Though it jumps from rock to avantgarde to jazz, it doesn't feel like jumping or being messy at all. Every second makes perfect sense. It's over the top but never feels like too much. How do you do that? What amount of taste, sensibility and brainpower is mandatory for something like this? Forget Sgt Pepper and Tommy and even The Wall. This album belongs onto the vessel we send to outer space to represent human potential.
