Given that Adam has worked with a few comic artists in the years since 10k Days might give a clue as to a possible direction. Adam usually gives a few hints as to what the artwork is like - in the leadup to 10k Days there were plenty of 3D photos shared on Myspace.

I think we can all agree that we hope Alex Grey doesn't have a major part in the artwork this time around - I enjoy his stuff, but two album covers is enough.

it's unfortunate Giger passed away in 2013, I would've loved to see some Tool inspired crazy naked alien murals. it's a shame they never crossed paths, I'm sure the boys are fans. did Adam ever work on any of the Alien movies back in the day? I wouldn't be surprised if he did.

I think they use a giger work for some visuals in their live show. I might be wrong, but it seems like I remember him in a credits somewhere.

I think it will have to do with the image on side screens during intension in Portland 2014

It could be anything at this point. I would honestly settle for a black album ep of remixed jams. I'm going on a hunger strike if it's not out in another year.

go-pro documentary on the making/coming of this new album/project.... in the spotlight would be a curve ball right?.....

There's no way that documentary is real.

One of my sources showed me some footage of it - it's totally real.

Did it look like it was good?

Post by **hellboy** » Mon Mar 16, 2015 3:48 am

Yeah, I especially liked the scene where Justin talks about selling his art collection. He's a real renaissance man!

Yeah and if you say the word 'gullible' reaaallly slowly it sounds like 'orange'

lets hope the new direction is an open road...much like the video shown on sidescreen during intension (Portland 2014)

I can't wait for this doc. I just want to see Justin scream cunt.

A year later and I still haven't seen that video.

mediocre searching has turned up nothing for me......... it is basically a landscape shot of a road in the country that slowly morphs during length of song... i found comfort in this video/photo/screenshot as i was in the depths of front row to TOOL amazement yet squambling the fact that my lady was giving birth to my son back home. what a sensory mind fuck......now if only it can be found now

Ohh yeah... you were the asshole that disregarded your new life being brought in to this universe.
I admire you and give you a sitting ovation for your comedy.

yes..... please....don't stand up.

It's going to be a telekinetic release.

Post by **basejumper** » Sun Mar 22, 2015 3:09 am

There will be holographic components.

3D audio

I think they might do something cool in relation to social media with the album's innards. like the first 100 thousand copies come with one unique piece of a puzzle. then each person has to sign on to a site and put their "piece" in, after it's completed we get something to share. maybe a cool short video, animated pictures of some sort. or as you know Tool are a bunch of pranksters, it could be a 3D digital recipe for some kind of stew.

Post by **budsyralli** » Sun Mar 22, 2015 4:47 am

like a jukebox that opens up to this mini stage complete with holographic band members , 3d audio , and juniors own special light show...complete with lazers and smoke/fog........all in the size of a box. dark comfortable space and choice shrooms not included.
