One of the rants will sync up to the album, while 3 others will appear to sync up when (in reality) they don't.
2 of the remaining will actually be interesting, but have nothing to do with Tool.
1 will just be complete nonsense, and possibly include some cameos of tangential Tool associates drinking at a bar in Las Vegas.
There was talk of an 8th one that also would have synced up, but there was a problem getting it to fit in the allotted space.

They are all getting older, Danny at 58 has even said what I have said a number of times that if they did do another he would hope sooner because he is getting older and it takes a certain level to play at the level required with Tool.

Based off the interviews this album almost split the group multiple times.

The biggest hurdle in my opinion is Adam and his OCD perfectionist approach. I think Danny, Justin and Maynard would be fine with doing something at a faster pace and not obsess irrationally over it but I could never imagine Adam being okay with that. It took Justin literally putting an ultimatum date in place to get this album done. Justin also doesn't sound particular enthused about getting back at it again, although he is the youngest at 47 and he could be speaking from a place of fatigue.

Also keep in mind they are going to tour fairly heavily over the next year or two. They have said they don't like to write on the road. So just getting back together to write a new album Danny would be 60, Adam 57..unless they started right away...yeah I just don't see it happening.

I do think we might get a Salival part 2 type release at some point. Maybe even a live DVD. But I don't think there will be another full length new Tool album.

I think you may want to guest post for Blair on occasion, man. I like the cut of your jib.
