It's nothing important, of course, but: after securing a copy of Tool's newest album, 10,000 Days (curiously about the amount of time it takes for Saturn to "come 'round again"), and loading it up as a Winamp playlist, I noticed something interesting about the track layout: two tracks are over 11 minutes long, and are the same length, within two seconds. These tracks are #4 and #8, which divides the rest of the 11 tracks into three sets of three. With the middle (#6) track at an uncommon 73 seconds, it gives the album an image of symmetry.
I checked this out mathematically: the three tracks preceding the first 11-minuter add up to 1251 seconds combined (or 20:51); the three tracks following the last 11-minuter combine to be 1282 seconds (or 21:22). These aren't perfectly symmetric... in fact, it leaves a difference of 31 seconds.
That's my first reaction.
