F O U R T H E Y E

Holy fuck they’re really messing with us. They know we are all starving for info so they’re giving us bits and pieces. Those fucking guys, I’m telling ya. kinda, were f'n with ourselves more thinking about it,ripping it apart, actually joining it together, trying to come up with a new language or s...

My eyes went to the structure more so than the font. The structure being a three dimensional brass skeleton key or similar “tool”. I wonder if the logo is a raised adornment on the packaging.

Maybe they’re holding back on the details since it already leaked. Rather than make an announcement that will come with the inevitable reddit comparisons, they just release the whole thing on 8/30 and move the discussion straight to the music. More likely this new logo is a misdirection but who know...

... If you layer the two logos over each other from the Instagram post you get CHOD ... lol https://i.imgur.com/AY71cUB.jpg Only 2 paths now. Either the album is in fact Chod or this new logo is a deke. Just imagine that this is totally separate and coincidental to that post. Hard to believe :lol:

I wouldn’t mind an eponymous title. A lot of bands find it appropriate at some point in their discography.

Even MMXIX is better than “5” (fifth lp). Another stupid titling cliche.

Thanks bob. The “2019” is rather unmistakeable once you see it. I’d say this new logo gives both MMXIX and chode a pulse of relevance. Not to say the chode post was 100% accurate, but maybe based on or inspired by access to real info. Too funny. That T/O is just too damn coincidental

The three-dimensional brass is kind of neat I guess

I don’t care for that logo. Looks unnecessarily busy.

The chode key/cross logo was on the right track lol. Almost like someone actually did hear an accurate description and then spit balled the graphic.

Went to Merkin last night. No useful intel from the manager. Ah well.

On the bright side, Top Gun 2 trailer is pretty good. Also worth noting Top Gun 2 and Invincible seem to address the same subject matter. New theme song?

Sounds solid. I'd love for there to be a vinyl ready to buy on release day. Would love to take a drive to the record store and pick up the new Tool album on vinyl. Would be bliss. For better or worse, my heart is set on it. Only a drooling twit would think to truly experience Tool solely digitally.

Yeah a McFarlane band set would be cool too. Not sure I'd pay money for it but maybe an interesting design. Gotta pick the right MJK regalia.

Tried to find a full panel schedule but keep getting routed into the "hottest" panel lineup which amounts to silly Marvel shit. Not worth the effort as it's likely not happening anyway. I do like the graphic novel idea though.

I like the idea. A cross-promotional unveiling of the new Tool artwork alongside his comic book buddy. Then the album details announcement dovetails on whatever other media they plan to utilize, website, Twitter etc. I don’t follow this stuff, so no clue if there’s a scheduled panel where something ...

I freakin LOVE Bugles nacho cheese flavor

My word, this thread is getting painful. We need an update if for no other reason!!

Twenty One Pilots and Greta Van Fleet are the two shittiest rock bands goin these days

Are they doing it wrong? Can they do better? Says who? They’re doing it exactly how they want to do it - which to a degree is refreshing.

I give it through next week to be on a “normal” release track. Late July with no news and I’m head scratching and a little peeved. Two live songs and a release date and nothing in between is bizarre.

Super awesome. Invincible is a hamhanded title. By hamhanded I mean stupid.

Intensity and inflection of his vocals in the TalkTalk chorus brings enough heat for me. Not expecting him to unleash.
