7/4/2100

I guess the 21 and 7/4 hashtags concerned the time signature. Adam might have removed them because he immediately realized stupid tool fans (we) would misinterpret them as album release dates.

May 05 will break the silence. If not, there is no new album.

Especially 4-5 months in advance. Why would a store need that amount of prep time?

this. record stores be like "yep....um....so we'll wait til August then. Thanks for the heads up".

Too early to rule out a release before the European tour yet, but it looks less and less likely each passing day. I'll be pretty surprised if there's a May release at this time Not convinced about the greatest hits tour thing - I do expect we'll see some new stuff live this time round, though nor d...

let's not forget (and thus appreciate) that this is most likely the last time we can build hype and get excited for a new tool album. enjoy crossing the finish line! once the album is out, I think a big part of the tool community will leave fourtheye, reddit, etc. and just move on.

announcement this friday

where's the reddit post? has it been taken down?

what's actually going on with the quality of the new facebook header. looks like it was created with MS Paint. one would think a band who won the grammy for best artwork would at least use a power point preset and screenshot it...

it's been pretty quiet lately. hellboy, u got any news for us? admit it, you've heard the album!
a little bit more than a month til their first gig.....

since Tool won a Grammy for best album packaging I guess AJ is gonna go crazy on that this time. Expect more delays.

according to this reddit dude some sort of artwork for the new album already exists...which is good. I was seriously worried we'd have to wait another 8 months for Adam to decide on an artwork. Given the fact that danny explained in an interview that the band always decides on the name of the album ...

but keep in mind that "high resolution audio" sounds partly inferior to CD quality (which is already totally badass, there is just a lot of people who don't believe this to be true), so does 5.1 audio for music. stereo 16bit 44.1khz audio is totally fine, i would be rather surprised if the...

time to bring this back up. mjk hinted a special packaging...any clues what we will get? i'm hoping for a limited edition vinyl box set just as APCs outstanding piece.

btw blog frontpage seems to be having issues again. hasn't loaded for me during the past week…..on different browsers and networks

The end of this Toolarchive video where Adam talks about Opiate is interesting actually - I haven't come across it before: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ceYfaLPj7EI Doesn't really give much insight as to when it'll be released though! ...and again raises the question why you would put so much eff...

the news don't load (as some other dude on reddit pointed out). maybe your database somehow shut down due to the "massive"? incoming traffic from reddit? It's working fine for me. Can you elaborate? it seems to be working again. FYI, the header did load but the blog posts weren't fetched....

who is gabriel shaffer?

Concerning mjks recent Tweet: What surprises me a little is that mjk seems to have solid non-Tool Plans for 2020. I expected a heavy 2-3 years Touring cycle once the New Album dropped. I know they are older and stuff...but given the fact that they can now finally provide what the whole world had bee...

So I had an interesting chat with one of my sources (who'd prefer to go unnamed) that Maynard has recorded part of the vocals, but will return to the studio in January to complete his parts. I believe the working title of one of the tracks (possibly the one Blair heard) is "Brain Mantis" ...

i missed your post hellboy. now since you gut some kind of confirmation that song #3 included vox by mjk, we don't know if those were scratch lyrics or his final lyrics.

I hate to be a downer, well actually fuck it I quite enjoy it.

I love you
