those are fake

here is an article from Kerrang magazine with some interesting tidbits...

Quote :

"Tool are the final headline act to be announced for this years Download festival. The three day-event, which takes place at Donington Park on June 9,10,11 will see the enigmatic LA art-metallers closing the proceedings on the Friday evening on the Main stage. It will be the band's first UK appearance since 2002. "We're really excited, " says bassist Justin Chancellor. "It's a huge honour for us to be asked to close Friday night at the horny mother of English rock festivals. I always imagined playing Donington as a kid, so I wont be taking this opportunity lightly. This is the kind of experience we've been patiently working towards - cant wait, see all you bastards there!" Tool are gearing up to return with their first new collection of material since 2001's gargantuan 'Lateralus'. Kerrang! was granted an exclusive listening session to the just-completed, as yet-untitled fourth album, which is due out May, and can reveal that anyone expecting the shadowy Californian quartet to have gone soft with age willl be sorely disappointed. True to form, Tools upcoming opus is a 77-minute prog-metal odyssey, packed with plenty of eight minute-plus twisted riff-a-thons, odd-tempo polyrhythms and the bands trademark, eerie interludes. Its also arguably their heaviest, most punishing material since their 1993 breakthrough album 'Undertow'. The upcoming 11-track album has certainly been the bands most laborious and challenging record to complete, taking a mammoth five years to write (some of the material stems from pre-lateralus sessions), during which Keenan recorded and toured with his other band A Perfect Circle. Tool also spent five months, in the company of QOTSA/Melvins engineer Joe Barresi, in three different LA studios over autumn 2005 recording it. "We've all been listening to a lot of Meshuggah" admits guitrist Adam Jones. "I see a lot of them in us and us in them, and they really have a very experimental prog side to them. I don't think it was like, 'Okay right here were going to play like Meshuggah', but more, 'Oh my god that's come out a Meshugah moment'." "We have the most retarted president we've ever had, and we're frustrated and that's the reason it's a little heavier this time" reveals drummer Danny Carey. "that level of frustration back like when we first got the band together: we were products of that fucking Reagan thing, we were pissed off and bummed-out, we had that angst, and now it's coming forth again: like it or not were products of our environment. We're pissed off again" No stranger to weaving social and political frustrations into his tortuously articulate lyrics, singer MJK who released the politically-motivated covers album, 'eMOTIVe' with APC in 2004, has chosen another approach this time around. "I think for me, and this is just personally, the last few years have really been crushing" Keenan confesses. "For me, as an artist, I needed to see on some level if speaking my mind would actually inspire people - you see the sky falling and you feel like youve got to say something. I think of prior tool albums 'Ænima' and 'Lateralus', lyrically, I had this idea of trying to share things and push some kind of higher purpose - enlightenment, this global consciousness thing - and everything that's going on nowadays has kind of left me a little disappointed, a little bummed. "So I think on this album I've talked more about my personal stuff, things that I needed to get off my chest," he adds. "It's a little cynical and its almost like coming from a sad place. Theres some hope in it, but it's more back to rock and roll basics, just experessing some very big sadness that's from the gut." "This is our blues record, were singing the blues!" Jokes Carey. "The difference is before, we had that young spunk and we thought we could actually say something and help people realise these thigns, " continues Keenan. "But now, the anger is more of a frustrated anger, and me sitting back and going, 'Okay, I'm going to shut up now, I'm going to stop ranting and trying to be chicken little telling you that the sky is falling, I'm going to just let you guys get hit in the head'." Tools as-yet-untitled album is due to hit shelves in May."

" JUST IN CASE YOU'RE INTERESTED... The artwork for the upcoming Tool album is going to the separators/printers today, therefore it will eventually be leaked out that the name of the album is (drum roll.......) ' 10,000 days ' ... so there it is. "

3/3/2006 10:28:11 AM

and thats probably when it will be released....10000 days from today.

"xactly, they are really the only mainstream band that does that and that's why they are BY FAR the best"

Not so, Pearl Jam is mainstream and they release an album every 3 years or so (unless you count the concert ones, and then its every 10 minutes or so)

3/3/2006 3:35:49 PM

I'm going to their only show in the US for this tour. I think they will play new material...

In fact, I'd say the album would likely come out at the beginning or maybe the end of this tour.

im excited. Tool is definitely one of the best bands to ever stay on radio for this long for sure.

3/3/2006 7:44:40 PM

tool's been on the radio?

3/3/2006 7:47:04 PM

?

3/3/2006 7:47:25 PM

I mean, Tool hasn't exactly been pumping out made for radio singles. 6 minute long tracks don't really mesh well with mainstream radio.

3/3/2006 7:51:20 PM

didnt say they were made for radio but theyve had multiple songs from every CD back to a cd or two before aenima get heavy airplay and mtv time.


h, schism, aenima, stinkfist, parabola, sober, 46&2 got some airplay, thinking another one off of opiate or undertow got some decent airplay?

just some off the top of my head that ive heard a ton on the radio, especially durin the year they came out

3/3/2006 7:56:58 PM

i think the album is coming out in may, perhaps may 2nd. In austraila they've announced it coming out on April 29th which is a Saturday (albums come out on saturdays in austraila), that following tuesday would be may 2nd. And radio stations in japan have said May 10th I believe.

3/3/2006 8:00:15 PM

^^Yeah, I've heard both Schism and Parabola on the radio, but never un-edited. They cut them down to like 3-4 minutes songs. Probably did the same with others. I was totally unaware they put on that many singles from Aenima though.

3/3/2006 8:02:59 PM

they play tool on 96.1 fairly regularly

3/3/2006 8:04:03 PM

^^ yep and ive heard all undedited besides language.

and ^ yea i hear them a lot on there when im flipping through. and generally old stuff

here's the part where i add an old lyric just to remind me of how amazing this is going to be..

"saturn ascends...choose one or ten....hang on or be.... humbled agaaaiiiinnn...."

i am now looking forward to this more than i am graduating college in May

3/16/2006 1:00:39 PM

so...

is there going to be a single... or something

cause, i'm tired of listening to this suck ass pearl jam song

i mean, i like pearl jam, but this song blows

3/16/2006 1:01:35 PM

speculation is that the single will be out mid april

3/16/2006 1:15:49 PM

From the official site ...

3/21/2006 1:23:47 AM

I call BS....that is old artwork anyway, they used it on the Lateralus tour. Why would they reuse it?




They're probably just fucking with us like always.

toolnavy, huh?

3/21/2006 1:38:12 AM

this is what amazon is showing:



reused artwork, yes. that doesn't necessarily mean it's fake. at this point, i definitely take all info from the band with a hint of skepticism. i don't really care it all this is real or just a hoax. i'm just glad to be getting something (whether it's real or fake) from the band leading up to the release of the album. it builds interest (as if they need it haha) and at least gives people something to talk about.

* i'm not sure i like the design anyway... something just seems off.

we'll know for sure when the album is in our hands

"22 Mar 06 ALBUM MINI NOW ON AMAZON AND OTHERS Some of you may have seen the album mini for Tool’s 10,000 Days on Amazon and on other sites that was posted ONE DAY after we showed it to you on this site (which is what we expected, and why we posted it when we did). Now that it’s out there for all to see, hopefully some of you who have been asking what exactly an album mini is might have a better idea. For those who still don’t know, it’s what a business (such as Amazon) uses to advertise a new product (such as the new Tool CD). Okay? Now, I can hear some of you saying to yourself: “But why does the image on Amazon and the other sites have the logo and album title superimposed over the artwork… when the image on the Tool websites doesn’t?” The answer is quite simple. Because Amazon and others need to include the band’s name and album title along with the artwork so that potential customers will know whose CD it is (don’t ask me why). With that said, the image that we posted on the Tool websites is how this piece of artwork will actually look with the packaging. However, we also wanted to give you a look at the new logo, so we placed it above the album mini. Okay? Just one last thing for now: I’ve been reading many of the comments on the TA message board (as well as those flooding my in-box) about this particular piece of cover art, and I just wanted to tell you how much I appreciate some of your personal thoughts and perceptive insight into the symbology and deeper levels of the striking imagery. It seems that a few of you (those who have commented on the artwork) are also anticipating ‘the bigger picture’ – that which you’ve become accustomed to over the years when it comes to Tool’s art direction. Well, to you, I will only say that you will not be disappointed… and that the key is right there before your very eyes. BMB "

yeah, that's not the final cover

the fool comment is starting to seem right

and i wouldn't be suprised if the name and track list are completely off too

3/23/2006 10:09:56 AM

Hear me now, I have seen the light!
They have a consciousness, they have a life, they have a soul!
Damn you!
Let the rabbits wear glasses!
Save our brothers!
Can I get an amen?
Can I get a hallelujah?
Thank you Jesus.

and i dont know why so many people hate on lateralus. i love it

3/23/2006 8:03:46 PM

^^^ you're going to be disappointed because it's not going to sound like either one. they have yet to put out an album that sounded like the rest. they are all distinctly different from the previous ones.

Lateralus is a great album, start to finish. it seems that most people that don't like it wanted Aenima part2. well, you didn't get Aenima part2... you won't get Aenima part2... you never will get Aenima part2.

anyway, i'm looking foward to hearing the new direction their music has taken.

the real question is where is a leaked advance of it?

4/3/2006 8:57:58 PM

HAH! this is Tool we're talking about here.

$5 says they'll be able to contain it until 1 week before release, at the earliest. I believe Lateralus wasn't even leaked until 1 day or 2 before release, and that was in Napster's hayday.

4/4/2006 8:37:15 AM

supposedly, a lot of these tracks are longer tracks that were split up for whatever reason. I've read a couple blurbs that mention a few songs clocking in over 11 minutes.
