"Vicarious" is the seven-minute first official single from Tool's fourth full-length studio album, 10,000 Days. Debuting April 17, 2006 on commercial radio, the song entered the Billboard Modern Rock Tracks chart at #2.[1] The song describes the vicarious thrill the public receives from hearing about the misfortunes of others in the media, despite refusal to admit it.[2] It has been noted that the song's hook bears a strong similarity to their former hit "Schism"'s. The song received a nomination for Best Hard Rock Performance at the 49th annual Grammy Awards.[3]

[edit] Video
A video counterpart for "Vicarious" was said to have been near completion in July of 2006, but is yet to have been released.[4] A DVD single may see concurrent release, similar in format to the previously released "Schism" and "Parabola" DVDs.[citation needed]
According to drummer Danny Carey, fans can expect "more of the same" in regards to the band's distinctive music video style.[citation needed]
