How will Tool approach the design of the new album?

I wonder if the video I am speaking of is for a future release

Yeah I don't know about that. I feel like someone is probably confused. I wonder if it was just a re-purposing of the footage they used for Ticks and Leeches in 2012? That had tree/"forest" shape overlaid on top of the video footage.

edit: was it you that actually saw it, budysralli?

yes it was me whom saw it...I was front row in Portland.....the side screens had a picture or video of a road with a field..possibly a tree..grass....seemed to distort as song progressed.

it would be nice to have a webcast from the loft.....get some hype going on the new album....maybe some videos of new toys/instruments...like the vicarious teaser

I think it best they approach the artwork from behind, catch it unawares with chloroform in hand, aaaaaaand then ... "breathe easy, artwork. It's nappy time". Imagine the possibilities this could present.

I do.

Constantly.

maybe the album cover will be painted with the same ink from those fish posters......

.....wrapped in a paper bag , maybe a ketchup pack filled with metallic paint to go with. either way I anticipate more art to come.

I find it hard to believe you consider the element of surprise could work at this point.

Just a regular CD case, artwork done by Adam. Fish theme of course. Album will contain 5 solid songs, 6 songs that are just noises or interludes that runs into the next one. 2 of the songs stick together, 10 minutes each. There will be a deluxe version of the album that contains a live performance of Opiate from 2014 San Fran and Intension live from Toledo 2012. The album will be released April 3 2015.

BOOM

Bright bold colours and large writing . Our eyes aren't as good as they used to be.

It will be an album adorned with street art aka graffiti, its Tool's urban album, full of Maynard raps and Danny hip hop drum fills.

With Justin contributing Deep (TM) Urban (TM) Post-Dub (pending) in the vein of BURIAL and KODE9.

And Maynard doing V Is For Vagina vocals, sleep singing.

Nah. The case will be a perfect circle with a furry pussy around it. That'd be something

Entire world rejoices.

Maynard comes back, on key-tar & backing vocals.

There will not be another TOOL album.

The album's case will be made out of frankincense. The songs will be the soundtrack to the third and final Apes movie, to be released Summer 2017.

Eager to top THE FLAMING LIPS' "ZAIREEKA", TOOL will record a concept album about the life cycle of the common squirrel through the liberal use of plastic chairs and trombones, but broken up across fourteen albums - that are to be played simultaneously.

It will instantly peak at number one on all charts everywhere, including ones that don't actually have anything to do with music. It will stay at number one for a period of forever, or until humanity ends; whichever comes first.

The collective ejaculation of all TOOL fans aimed squarely at the sky will create a new top of atmosphere where all people on the planet will be drenched in semen.

COLDPLAY will still suck.
