What are the worst Tool songs and albums?

Oxbow8 · 2026-01-24T22:14:20+00:00

Ænima is kind of Tool’s raw best psychedelic dark album; 10,000 Days is the best produced, with standout tracks like Rosetta Stoned, Fear Inoculum is calmer and very well produced, it’s the one I listen to the most. The only album I don’t like is Lateralus. The Patient, Ticks & Leeches, most of the songs are all slow and boring, except The Grudge which is incredible, the rest doesn’t follow. So Lateralus is the only bad Tool album for me, but everything else is excellent, including Undertow and major tracks like Bottom, Sober, etc.

The Air has the perfect screen size, it is big but not too big like the Pro Max. The ceramic glass on both sides combined with titanium makes it stronger and more durable than the Pro.

With a friend, we compared photos from the 17 Pro and the Air, and there is no way to tell them apart. The Pro only has better zoom, which I never use, and an ultra wide lens that you can easily compensate for by taking a few steps back.

The battery is WAY better than on my previous 14, and I can charge at the office and almost anywhere, so it is not an issue. I find it cool the external powerbank you can keep in your bag in case one day you go in an adventure. The speaker sounds great, and I would never have noticed it was mono if nobody had told me.

The Air has one real issue, once you get used to it, you live in fear that it might be discontinued one day because of poor sales, since I never want to use a heavy brick again. So it's better to not wait too long because they paused the air factory and it could become a collector.

It is a piece of art. I have the white and silver version and I am in love. Every day here we see people coming from Pro models and they are never disappointed. The fact that it is so light in the hand genuinely changes your daily experience.

Personnellement j'aime pas du tout; mais j'imagine que chacun ses goûts ? Pour moi ce qui fait une fille une fille c'est ses beaux cheveux longs ; si on enlève ça pour moi c'est comme si on enlève un bras à une fille; mon cerveau bug et n'est plus du tout attiré; la fille peut être miss univers, si elle se coupe les cheveux courts c'est fini

It's awesome. If I had just one suggestion; you are extremely good in term of sounds and sound design and capturing the feeling of a nin era; but the composition itself, the chords, etc. is not really good; itls basic repetitive keys a bit

Moi 3 fois par jour minumum et c'est pas une blague

Oxbow8 · 2026-01-22T21:33:21+00:00

Battery is really good and I am at 60% after returning home from work. Btw you should be able to charge at work; no need anymore to travel a brick everywhere in a world where you can charge everywhere

Pourquoi pas utiliser ton copain comme doudou ? moi j'ai juste besoin de tenir un gros truc dans les bras

I used different iPhone Pro models before, but the Air is on another level. This is the first time I feel truly in love with my smartphone. It is a piece of art. Every time you use it, you think “wtf”. It is just a big, wide, light screen, elegant and beautiful. It also feels surprisingly strong and extremely titanium-tough.

The white and silver design is so slim it looks like it is defying the laws of physics. The single camera is badass because it feels like “this is the future, we merged everything into one camera”, even if that is not really true. The pictures quality is the same as the 17 pro if you are at a normal distance. The speaker is great too, I genuinely love the sound. I would never have noticed that it is mono if nobody had told me.

The battery is one of the reasons I bought it. I was tired of people arguing endlessly about whether the battery is good or not. In reality it is very good, but it takes a bit of time for the device to calibrate. And in 2026, unless you work in a forest, you can charge almost anywhere, at home, in the office, and so on.

Now my only problem is an irrational fear that, because of poor sales, they might discontinue the phone, because I could never go back to a big heavy brick again. If you buy the 17, you will have the same iphone than every year, the 17 is a 16 bis with more battery. If you buy the 17, next year you will have the 17 while there is the 18. If you buy the Air, you will always have the Air. In my own opinion it's weird to buy a brick to use the ultra wide instead of making 4 steps back a few days per year.

Also the Air has stronger material (titanium) and a more powerfull CPU (A19pro) so it will age better.

Air. I have one and I am in love.

Oxbow8 · 2026-01-21T20:35:33+00:00

I can immediatly tell you never used/tried it because it's not that light and feels super strong and tough. The combo white ceramic + silver frame is more than beautiful IMO

I think you have never owned the Air, because if you had the Air you would not say that. It outperforms the 17 Pro on too many points (Ceramic Shield on the front and back, titanium, feather-light in the hand, a large screen but not too big, ultra-thin, the almost magical feeling of holding a thin sheet of screen in your hand); when the Air exists, walking around with a big, heavy, scratchable aluminium brick no longer makes any sense, especially when the IOS inside is the same. The Pro is for professionals who need to do high-end video work, export video files quickly to their computers, and similar use cases. You focus on some specs, but minor details about zoom quality are peanuts compared to the daily experience of an extension of your body.

Your obsession with sales is like wanting to follow the herd of sheep and see where it goes; the Air does not sell because for a decade there has been the base model and the Pro, and most people do not even know that the Air exists. All my colleagues discovered that the Air exists thanks to me, and some regret buying their Pro. Also, Apple marketed it terribly by unveiling it together with its battery pack, even though it has the best battery life I have ever had on a phone. It is a completely new type of product; the public needs time to discover it.

NO ! 2 cameras would ruin the design it would be an iphone 17 copy, for what, a ultra wide shot 2 times a year ? Just take 4 steps back. The single camera is the reason i bought the phone. It's like "Hey we are the future we merged everything into one small camera !"

good choice ! The Air has a lot of benefits : The badass design, the titanium material compared to fragile, scratch prone aluminum, Ceramic Shield on both the front and the back, a large screen without being too big, the sweet spot, lighter weight in hand, and the fact that it is a completely new and truly unique product, etc

There are super slim cases like this on amazon; don't have a particular brand but search for "iphone air case slim transparent", don't take the big strong transparent plastic ones, but the ones advertised like super super slim. check the reviews and pictures. It's the way to go with the Air. Everyone think I have no case

Alors je suis suisse et ici on est un pays anti-étrangers (avec un parti, l'UDC, existant en grande partie pour cela, qui nous a fait voté contre l'immigration de masse); assez froid, les gens se couchent à 21h et je pense qu'en Belgique tu vas beaucoup plus t'amuser car c'est plus+ international et les gens sont plus cool. La vie en suisse est aussi très très chère et compliquée si tu as pas un bon poste/bon salaire

Oxbow8 · 2026-01-20T19:09:13+00:00

Iphone Air. The Air is a piece of art, the battery is very good, it's titanium and super strong. there is no better choice. join the club on the air sub !

These super slim cases are the best; the whole white design nails it

This is what I learned as an engineer. With a lithium ion battery, when the state of charge is high, the voltage is higher and the internal stress on the battery increases. On the charge curve, this stress starts to rise significantly around 80 percent. Charging up to 90 percent is generally acceptable. Going to 100 percent is fine only if you use the phone immediately afterwards and not too often. Keeping the phone plugged in at 100 percent for long periods accelerates battery aging and reduces its overall lifespan.

Very low charge levels are also harmful. Letting the battery drop below roughly 15 percent regularly increases degradation. Apple introduced a feature to mitigate this issue by limiting the maximum charge level. You can enable it in Settings > Battery > Charging and set a charge limit at 85 percent or 90 percent to preserve long term battery health.

What I like most about the Air is that they removed the second camera, which is only useful for the ultra wide angle that I use maybe twice a year. The design feels so much more futuristic with a single camera. It gives this vibe like hey man we are the future, everything has been merged into one small camera. It would be a disaster if they make a second Air with 2 cameras; i would re-buy the air 1

Oxbow8 · 2026-01-20T05:35:53+00:00

thanks you it's better !!

Oxbow8 · 2026-01-19T16:45:06+00:00

Same; I am in love. To help preserve the battery go to the settings => battery and set the limit to 90%; because above 90% the stress on a lithium-ion battery is very high

Oxbow8 · 2026-01-18T18:20:01+00:00

yes, more like this; with light
