How will Tool approach the design of the new album?
Re: How will Tool approach the design of the new album?
That doesn't sound right but I don't know enough about bug helmets to dispute it.

If David Attenborough did a voiceover for each track on the new Tool album, I could maybe fall asleep to it.I'll just leave this here

He has one of them voices , suits his job very well. The bugs look like what Adam has been interested lately. They create a sound that is quite remarkable. They step out of their shells. This sounds like what we have heard of the boys lately. maybe lol

Re: How will Tool approach the design of the new album?
They just posted they have about "2 albums worth of music done, but only 5 songs meet Tool standards...". Given the length of their other albums (about 10 songs, plus narratives), looks like they're halfway done! I personally like the quality over quantity approach. Some people have posted they're gonna release a double album... I'd rather they didn't. Save the second half for after I've had the time to fully appreciate the first half!

I believe Danny said he wanted a double album. Would'nt it be great to have more synth segue jam outs in the songs. more living elements please.
go taff!
Re: How will Tool approach the design of the new album?
Anyone else think the new 'pyramid' backdrop during Descending might have something to do with the new album design direction? It was pretty damn impressive. I couldn't help but think it was a clue or a hint to something as the smoke on the horizon swirled around it....
Re: How will Tool approach the design of the new album?
That pyramid/traingle video is definitely cool. Not sure what, if anything it may have to do with the new album, but it definitely works really well with Descending.BellJH wrote:Anyone else think the new 'pyramid' backdrop during Descending might have something to do with the new album design direction?

Re: How will Tool approach the design of the new album?
Yeah I thought that as soon as I saw it in Fairfax, then again from the last picture with Alex Grey where Adam is holding that pyramid trinket thing. I don't think we'll know until 17 years from when 10,000 days was released because the cicadas lay in hibernation for 17 years before reemerging!BellJH wrote:Anyone else think the new 'pyramid' backdrop during Descending might have something to do with the new album design direction?

They used a pyramid going way back in the Opiate days. I heavily doubt it means anything for anything new.

From the sound of it there will be vinyl.
go taff!
Re: How will Tool approach the design of the new album?
I definitely would be very surprised if there wasn't a vinyl release of the new album. I'd say that of most bands though.

Re: How will Tool approach the design of the new album?
I think I've said this before - what I'd like to see is the artwork be designed to be primarily for vinyl, rather than the smaller medium of CD's. I'd happily drop some decent money on some kind of limited edition vinyl for the next album.
Re: How will Tool approach the design of the new album?
Was just on my way in here to ponder that same thing (and it's been said many times before, obviously). Surely this HAS to be the album where they optimize for vinyl packaging and just release vinyl first thing along with digital and CD, right? They would be utter fools not to, even if you only look at it from a cynical money perspective. Look at what people shill out for NIN or Radiohead special box sets these days. Adam, if he wants to, could blow most of that out of the water packaging wise.
Re: How will Tool approach the design of the new album?
I would tend to agree with you, but... 10000 days? Salival? I just don't understand Tool and their vinyl releases.hellboy wrote:I definitely would be very surprised if there wasn't a vinyl release of the new album. I'd say that of most bands though.
Re: How will Tool approach the design of the new album?
Salival doesn't really make sense for a vinyl release in my opinion, and 10k Days seemed to have one planned (that never saw the day of light).
10k Days was released at a time when vinyl was yet to come back into vogue. What I expect now that vinyl is very much a leading format once more, that Tool will release the next album with a vinyl version straight off the bat, and I'd prefer that the artwork be designed with vinyl as the primary style. All the artwork since Aenima has been exceptional - I'd love to see what Tool could really do with a 12 inch format for the artwork, rather than a limited size CD.

What if it was just a covers album?
