Your Mum And Dad Are Scared Of Me

I never said I was legal, but I "got" Tool's new single Vicarious from a friend earlier tonight. First impressions: disappointment. It saddens me to say, but I was expecting a little more from Tool than a mash-up mix of Schism and The Patient, mixed with a little bit of The Grudge. It's not a bad song per se, but it doesn't tickle my balls in any particular fashion. My thought at the moment: if Lateralus had had any fillers; Vicarious could have easily been one. But I wont judge to harshly just yet. There's still an entire album to go, and these are just the very first thoughts. It might be a "grower", I hope it is.

Thanks to the magnificent game Guitar Hero, I've discovered what seems like a pretty sweet band; The Exies. I've taken me time to listen to a little bit of their stuff and it sounds promising. Anyone like these folks? Let'me know.
