Honestly, whatever the fuck they use as an excuse is legit because the band is not obligated to write new material. I'm not sure why some people seem to think they're owed an album.

Reminds me of Neil Gaiman telling people complaining about George RR Martin's work habits that "George Martin is not your bitch."  :lol

 :lol, awesome.

Btw, it took me a full thirty seconds or so to figure out wtf Fluffy was talking about. I'm kind of... out of the loop with popular shit these days.

I think it gets frustrating about a new album because they don't seem to say "don't hold your breath." Almost feels like a carrot being dangled.

At least with SOAD, they tell us straight up they aren't making an album any time soon (although I heard today they've written some new songs together).

Before you ask why I don’t just watch the TV show: I’m a snob and like my literature and refuse to let my reading experience be tainted by watching a shitty watered down adaptation.
BTW, it's not shitty or watered down.
I mean comparatively. If I asked which is better, book or TV show, I can almost guarantee what the answer will be, because it’s what the answer is 99% of the time. Other than in rare cases, I’m not interested in reading the book AND seeing the movie. If I enjoyed or am apparently going to enjoy a book, I generally don’t even want to know about its TV/film remake, because I don’t want what someone else saw in the story to define how I experience it.

Doesn't look like anything important.  Just cashing a check to answer some questions.
Hef is right on all things. Except for when I disagree with him. In which case he's probably still right.

Not that I was ever a diehard fan to begin with, though I do love some of their songs, but I'm treating Tool like I would ordering an item from overseas. Order it, forget about it, and it'll get here when it gets here. (...and then call UPS bitching them out and asking where the fuck my item is  :lol )

They probably start by saying that they won't answer questions about a new album and then there is an hour of awkward silence.

Or maybe they announce, that next year is the 10th anniversary of not doing anything and they want to celebrate it by not releasing an album?
Must've been Kwyji sending all the wrong songs.   ;D

Had the honor of being the first outsider to hear new #TOOL music today!! Still just instrumentals but sounded epic, majestic, symphonic, brutal, beautiful, tribal, mysterious, deep, sexy and VERY Tool. Really great. So excited to hear the record when it's finished.

No, but seriously, I'm super excited about the possibility of there finally being a new Tool album (& APC). Hopefully this goes better than all the other release dates so far. The new Tool album is starting to head the way of Book of Revelation doomsday theories and the Artemis Fowl movie (been waiting 17 years for that one! SEVENTEEN YEARS) with all these supposed release dates. I also hope that the band finally releases their music digitally with this new album, since times are a-changin' and streaming is pretty much the de-facto way of listening to music now.

Shipswreck sounds like it would be a blast to play on Rock Band. Not a fan of the effects on the vocals, but everything else is really great (Especially that first solo. Mmmm yes). I'll definitely check this out when it drops in February.

That sounds pretty great actually. I think I like it a little bit more than Shipswreck. Sounds like a mix of Nightwish - The Islander, Pirates of the Caribbean, Gothic Country, and Spaghetti Western.

Also, reading the description for that video, I learned that the director of Horton Hears a Who is the producer for the album. That would NOT have been my first guess. :lol

I hope I'm not getting anyone's hopes up by revitalizing this thread (although most fans probably have given up on a new album by this band just as Peter Gabriel fans have lol).

I have known Tool since around one year after the time I got into DT, which was 2007. I always found them fascinating, the whole mysterious character they had, the fantastic cover artwork and the fact that they made Prog Metal MTV-accessible. Plus, Vicarious always had a special place in my heart. But it took 10 years to rererererediscover them and now I feel like I FINALLY begin to really appreciate them.

I picked up the vinyl re-releases of Opiate and Undertow and liked the rough, garage-like character they have. But I like 10.000 Days better, with its more "progressive" and complex attitude. I know Aenima from the 4-5 times I listened to it. Lateralus seems to be somewhat their "best" album (?) and I have "saved" it for last (haven't really heard it yet apart from one or two songs). I bought the new vinyl version of Lateralus (amazing artwork, as per usual) and even found a Aenima vinyl in almost perfect condition (no idea how I managed to do this, considering the discogs prices https://www.discogs.com/de/sell/list?ev=mb&master_id=1402&format=Vinyl). I'm very much looking forward to listening to these two album tomorrow when I get home. I even found their first demo and the Salival EP on vinyl in a tiny record shop in Dresden.

What does everyone think about the albums Aenima and Lateralus? Did it take you guys so much time to get into Tool too?

I didn't take me long at all. There was a six month period after AEnima came out that I could listen to nothing else. I still think Eulogy is as near to perfect as a composition can get. I still get a chill whenever I hear, "He had a lot to say, he had a lot of nothing to say, we'll miss him." Damn, just so brilliant. I love that this album spans the gap between their more conventional heavy rock sound and the full on acid rock of Lateralus and 10,000 days. I would also love to know what the catalyst was for the over use of profanity on this album. It doesn't seem to be a priority in the lyrics of other albums, but AEnima is stuffed to the gills.

I really like Lateralus. It's a weird mix of ambition and self-deprecation--I guess that could probably be said about anything Keenan is involved with--but this album is perhaps a bit too unsure of itself. Not near as accessible as their previous offerings, for sure. Still, a lot to love here, the run of songs from Schism through Lateralus is absolutely hypnotizing and essential prog in my view.

But they already secretly told us the release date for the new album. 10,000 Days was a not-so cryptic hint: The album will be released on September 12th, 2033. 10,000 Days after 10,000 Days. Just 15 years left!

The first time I heard Tool, I believe it was the song Sober that came on the radio. I remember thinking that it sounded pretty cool, so I bought the album on a whim along with their album Aenima which had just come out. They quickly became one of my favorite bands. Lateralus is my number 3 favorite album of all time, just behind Marbles by Marillion and Verisakeet by Moonsorrow.

Aenima was my first album, though I had heard some earlier stuff at that point too. I spent a LOT of time watching MTV as a kid so I remember seeing the video for Stinkfist and being like  :o and then I think I got the album shortly after that, when I was 11 or 12. My favorite radio station at the time used to play them a lot, but because it was a Catholic college (Seton Hall's pirate radio! 89.5 WSOU!) they had to censor a lot of band and song names. They played "H with a P" a lot :lol

I've had a nightmare from music only once in my life, and it was the night that I saw the Sober video for the first time.   The only other song that ever "scared" me in any way was listening to "Orgasmatron" one night in CT by myself with the lights off and after a couple glasses of wine.
