As for Viginti Tres, I can see I'm not the only one that deduced a relationship between it and the Wings suite, I don't think there is anywhere else in the tracklist it could go but right after Wings the end of Wings even sounds like the beginning of Viginti. Putting Lipan Conjouring first gives it a purpose. Now we've got a sound effect at the beginning of the album: a man chanting and 'conjouring' up the music we're about to hear. All we did is move two segues into what I believe is their 'proper' location.

If you do exactly as the band suggests, and 'cut it all right in two,' suddenly you have an album that flows with purpose and seems 'right.' All you need to do is move two segue tracks back five slots each in the tracklist and leave the rest alone so the album plays like this:ĥ Ten Thousand Days/Wings for Marie Īs you can see, the 'structure' of the album is still fully intact. When considering these factors, it suddenly became clear to me. One of the biggest problems is Vigniti Tres, which is an EPIC segue, but an absolute shit way to end the album.Īll the Tool albums, save 10,000 Days, start off with a sound effect or mini-segue before jumping into track 1Īll the Tool albums, save 10,000 Days, end with an epic song rather than a segue, usually one that leads in perfectly to the next albumġ0,000 Days is the only Tool album with two 'segue' type tracks back to back in the tracklisting Unlike all the other Tool albums which flow together in perfect harmony (Undertow being the exception that flows great with either the 'actual' tracklist or the 'hidden' tracklist in the liner), 10,000 Days just doesn't play right. The album doesn't 'flow' or seems 'unbalanced.' If you're like me, the tracklist on the released version of 10,000 Days seems.
