Oh...you didn't hear? I now answer to my beautiful fiance - a pretty, Colombian fitness instructor from my old gym and one time teen model - in a house overlooking Port Phillip Bay. You were almost right though.

What's his name? Glad you're getting out of Chicago!

the toolarchive video update thing had this in it. they took some letters from the code and it could spell ''may third release''

Wouldn't that be awesome!! A new TooL album in 3 weeks AND I win my own contest!

Some people have vivid imaginations. May 3rd for a single if we're lucky.

There are 31 days in December

4 x 5 x 3 x 5 x 14 = 4,200

4,200 represents 420 blaze it but 100 times stronger

4+5 = 9
5+3 = 8
3+5 = 8
5+14 = 19

9+8=17
8+8=16
8+19=27

17+16=33 (Freemasons?)
16+27=43

33+43=76

7+6= 13

Flip 13 and you get 31

OMFG

What drugs you are on? Now gimme some

Sorry my Colombian girlfriend (who was a teen model) took the rest

(And still is)

(lol)

It is getting kind of ridiculous that they haven't announced a release date. This is not a rant or me being a dick but there is no way they haven't confirmed a release date with their label by now. The record is obviously mastered. I think most of this is Tool just playing around with the fan base and after 13 years it just isn't interesting any longer. May/June/July whatever, just announce the date and move on.

I feel bad for the people that bought tickets for the May shows or are thinking about it. I know if I was going to a show in May I would absolutely want to know ahead of time if they would be playing new material. The kicker for those people is the tickets will likely sell out if they wait too long. Shame Tool doesn't think about things like this when it comes to the fans.

I've got tickets for a May show. It'd be nice to know I just plunked down my hard-earned cash (plus travel, hotel, etc) and will get to hear some new music in return. I guess the "not knowing" is part of the experience of being a Tool fan, but on the other hand it wouldn't kill them to be maybe 10% human for a minute and go, "Hey guys, we know you've been waiting and supporting us for a long time, and we're going to reward your patience and support with some new songs on this tour."

I'm looking forward to Maynard's "nobody told you we'd play new songs, dummies" tweet after the pitchforks and torches come out when the setlist is the exact same thing they've been touring on for the last decade.

I was just coming in here to post something similar mate. It's gotten to a point where a release date has to be fairly imminent., I'm finding myself checking my phone when I wake half expecting to see a release announcement. Just give us fucking SOMETHING!! on the plus side Baroness released a new song

I'm still expecting this album to be at best, slightly better than their last one. There is still a lot to be concerned about with Album 5:

*Many years of delays
*Scrapped material
*A/Descending has always sounded generic/rehashed to me
*Band cohesiveness
*Eat the Elephant
*13 years between albums


I'm excited for new Tool, but I'm going into this with low expectations. The new single will tell me a lot, whenever it gets released.

I'm pulling for Tool to put together one more masterpiece, but what are the chances they did?

Yeah that sounds about right to me. They are no longer the same people that made Aenima / Lateralus 20 years ago. if the new album comes out slightly better than 10K days then I'll be stoked! Just coz 10K didn't reach the levels of its 2 predecessors , it's by no means a bad album.

Anyone that goes in with higher expectations than that is bound to be disappointed even if the new album turned out to be a masterpiece

I wouldn't start getting antsy about new Tool album news to the first week of May.

It's coming, we know it's coming, relax, just do it.

That's exactly it. I'm seeing a lot of fans ready to ejaculate all over new music, and all they are going to end up with in the end is post nut syndrome with a mess to clean up.


I love 10,000 Days btw.

Too late sorry, and aint no 80s song reference is gonna break my stride , nobody gonna slow me down , oh no. I got to keep moving.

I expect we'll get an announcement pretty soon. Tool not big on drip feeding, so I expect waiting until everything is nailed down first. There may well be a release date set with the label, but I don't think Tool will give out that info until the title, tracklist, art, release formats etc is all nailed down.

My prediction is that we're on track for an early May single release, and then album early June. Probably expect to hear about the single not long after Easter.

Salival-Pushit and Right In Two sound really similar to me. The guitars in the verses could almost be layered on top of each other.
Same kind of vibe, similar tabla/percussion sections.

The percussion on Salival Pushit and Intension/Right in Two reminds me of Within You Without You by George Harrison. I believe a tabla is used in that as well. That would be one Tool should do if they ever did a Beatles cover. It would be perfect considering it is lyrically and thematically identical to Reflection as well as having that ethereal introspective quality that goes beyond the typical psychedelic experience and into the realm of a genuine spiritual realization.

But anyway, pretty surreal that we are on the verge of new Tool music. I am trying to imagine where they can possibly go from 10k considering that album ended with literally ascending to heaven and being received by God with the word ASCISCO. The new title A/Descending is a clue that they are continuing where they left off, which is very exciting.

Hopefully the lyrics of the album will be nothing but Old Testament quotes

If there aren't at least 2 references to someone's butthole I'll be sorely disappointed.

I expect a combination of religious references and sexual innuendos disguised within an allegory to sum up the state of mankind currently and how we can all live together peacefully forever if each one of us individually acknowledges the power we all have to create whatever reality we want and take our freedom back from the slave drivers and dogma pushers, but just under the surface level so the casual listener won't realize what is being communicated besides the obvious sex joke, letting them absorb the subliminal messages properly.

Maynard did say he's been listening to the Counting Crow's album August and Everything After and taking inspiration from that, so we'll see if it influences the new album.

August release date confirmed...

goddamn it
