The title 10,000 Days is thought to refer to the orbital period of the planet Saturn (actual time period is 10,759 days). 10,000 Days has a heavier sound than its predecessor, largely because of the influence of avant-garde grindcore band Fantômas which toured with Tool before the writing process. Drummer Danny Carey operated many of the sound effects on the interlude tracks on the album using electronic drums called Mandalas. The 'pipe bomb microphone' and other studio related information was further detailed in the Jissue of Mix.

Jones explained that recording techniques for the album involved the use of a 'pipe bomb microphone' (a guitar pickup mounted inside a brass cylinder), and a talk box guitar solo on the song 'Jambi'. The June 2006 issue of Guitar World (released April 11, 2006) featured an interview with guitarist Adam Jones discussing the new album.
