After 13 years, I didn't expect much, but I thought they would do better than this.

That's disappointing

Don't take my word for it, give it a listen. It sort of sounds like a more polished Tool, but in a bad way. And the synthesizer sounds horrible. Yes, synthesizer.

A polished doesn't always mean better, it probably just means it spent far more time in the producer's and sound editor's hands than in the artist's hands

From what I have heard over the years is that they have been working for a long time. I suspect they over thought it, have gotten old, and didn't take enough magic mushrooms.

Polished to the point of over produced. Alternates between stuff they've done before and self-indulgent stuff they've done before. IOW it's really just more of the same but without anything that's compelling or even very interesting. Tool is an amazing band and their contribution to music has been substantial BUT 10,000 Days should have been their final album and even it is a questionable effort.
