Have a guess,

First announcment will for July but will be put back a month

August 31st

any other Nostradamus's?

01-12-2005, 08:33 AM
it's Nostradamus', not Nostradamus's.

Nice reply there mstajduh. You're so smart. ARMZ was trying to say more than one Nostradamus. He should have written "Nostradamuses," not "Nostradamus's" or "Nostradamus.'"

Fools(mstajduh being the greater of the two).

I'm predicting that the forthcoming album will be released in Autumn (of this year, that is!)... All the other big bands look like they will release their albums before summer, so just when we think we've heard all the amazing new music we are going to hear this year... BOOM, new Tool album to take us to that next level in musical experiences...

New theory. 2008 will be the release date. Reason why, it will have been 7 years since the release of Lateralus.

Opiate, 1 year later Undertow, 3 years later Ænema, 5 years later Lateralus, all these numbers are prime numbers. Do you see? it's all about maths but I havn't done the maths to know the dangers of our second guessing.....of course it won't take that long, will it? please tell me it won't.

ARMZ

Yea I hope it dosn't take that long, my guess is as good as yours for now, but when it does hit the shelves I'm sure it will sell above 700,000 copies in it's first week. But if it is a dvd/cd package the price will go up and might not sell as many as 300,000 in it's first week but then again Lateralus may have converted a few extra heads. It's all speculation.

If you go to the toolband.com website and read the latest newsletter, the guy makes MANY references. Most of which are in reference to "miss JULY". Later on he specifically states that there are implicit messages in the text. Also, he talks about making his vote for this "miss july" for playmate of the YEAR. He also makes a big deal about the page number for the miss july centerfold.... page 163 (1+6+3=10, "saturn ascends, take 1 or 10").

After putting 2 and 2 together, i think the expected release date of this epic new album will be July 10!!! (there are also many references to his eating of some white spiders.... if you figure that one out please let me in!!)

ARMZ
01-28-2005, 12:48 AM
Nice theory, in theory Communism works, in theory.

The Miss July references are to from an article which appeared in last years Playboy mag. Stephanie Glasson who was Miss July in 2004 was asked who are her favorite bands to which she replied she likes Tool and Tori Amos.

But after some more thought I think you might be on to something. Spiders have 8 legs, 8th month?

But I don't think they would work the release date around so that it matched up with page numbers on playboy. And further more I think that if a celebrity or model or a porn star is a fan of Tool then we become a fan of them, well not everyone, maybe just Blair.

The very first sentence Blair mentions a time, precisely 12:06, why would he bother to note the exact time? maybe it's the first clue. December 2006.

We can speculate all we want but in all honesty do you think you will remember this when you are watching(presuming they do the dvd) and listening to the next Tool album? Long and forgotten will this be.

Why does it seem like we anticipate the release like it's the second coming of christ or something? It's all making sense now...by not assigning themselves to a religion...tool is making themselves the leader of a new religion...or not.

On June 25, Saturn passes within 1 degree of Venus. And on June 27, Mercury and Venus are within .1 degree after Sunset. This may indicate a strong Satanic energy in the world then.

Since 2 is a prime number and they skipped it (as has been pointed out) perhaps they've decided to go with just odd numbers...which still makes the release date in 2007. That's too long. I'm hoping this spring or early summer.

It's just a bit of fun and if someone is correct then they can look back and be proud that they actually got something right in their life for once.............no I'm just fucking around, but there is something about predictions that fascinates me.

You may be right about them not having a say, they might have to meet a deadline, but who sets the deadlines? they, or the record company?
I think artists like deadlines, when the pressure is on some people can write up a quick piece of music and it turns out that it's the best song they have ever created, or it gets canned and resurfaces in bootlegs and fillers.

I think when the toolband update said Tool has set a deadline, I'm guessing it's the end of March. Then record, mix/master, etc.

I'm still guessing August for the release date. They haven't even started recording, so anything less than 3 or 4 months from now won't happen

Would they even inform of the recording/mixing? I don't know how it was with Lateralus, 'cause I heard it was coming out in a few weeks waited x days for it, bought it and no harm done. No lengthy wait as I am experiencing now. The new NIN album is going to be my drug until the release of Tool's.

I think i'm just realistic. When was the last time an album you were waiting for came out earlier than you expected? Also, this is Tool we're talking about. They're not exactly know to rush things.
You're being realistic and cruel.

Maybe they'll want to hit the magic date 06/06/06? And it's a Tuesday!

In that UFO-Peter Jennings post a few days ago, Blair used the word "three" 7 times. Maybe something is going to happen tomorrow (3/3) at 3:33:33 am/pm? That's GOT to be some sort of encoded message, or then again, another one of Blair's tricks to confuse me and make me cry.

That reminds me of Bowfinger when Eddie Murphys character finds the number of K's in a script to be a multiple of 3, and accusing the man that gave it to him of being racist. Oh yea, and there's no message, your just nuts. How did you notice that anyway?

He's right, you know. That's about as realistic as you can get. In all respects, the album, just like all the others, will probably get pushed back, either due to legalities or recording problems or shit, maybe you could blame it on the fucking groundhog.

Groundhog sees shadow = album delays
Groundhog doesn't see shadow = no album delays and everyone get a free $100.

Unfortuantely, as the weather has been showing us, the little fury fuck saw his shadow. Dooming us to six more weeks of winter and one more year without new TOOL material.

Damn-o.

Yup I to think that the DVD will hit the shelves first, I was looking at a March release date but they should announce it by the 3rd of March and it will be released on the 3rd of April. 3 and 3, I hope.

The DVD was supposed to be released last year, according to the official discography (which has since been updated). So it might be finished already.

You're always quick to say something negative as soon as someone mentions the DVD. What makes you so sure it wont come out? Do you think Tool lie to their fans just for their own amusement?

Didn't Alex Grey say he had finished his work on the DVD, lending credence to the idea that there really is a DVD.

Anyway, I think they've decided to do more with the DVD than just live concert footage. As mentioned in another thread, Tool showed an interest in making a full movie like Pink Floyd's The Wall. Maybe they finally decided to go through with this and they're going to release it with the new album. I obviously have no proof other than the band's stated interest, but that would be awesome. I love Tool's visuals. The videos bring a whole new dimension to the songs.

But maybe I'm just dreaming. We'll all know eventually.

There's three things we can be sure of right now: There is a DVD, there is a new album, and those two won't be released together.
Releasing both of them together makes absolutely no business sense whatsoever. Sure, current Tool fans would buy a more expensive package of the two, but people who would be potentially buying their first Tool album would be discouraged if the package costs, say, $25 to $30 dollars. Plus, in the long run, they could end up making a higher profit per release if they were sold separately, depending on how much they plan on selling each release for.
I would be very surprised if they decided to release the two together...but hey anything is possible.

Yes. Danny has been talkin about in interviews as well, so it does exist. If they got Alex Grey to do the artwork, they are (or were) obviously serious about releasing it. I don't think they would waste either Alex's or their own time, not to mention money, on a DVD that was just gonna be shelved. I think it'll come out eventually. Maybe about 6 months before the new album, like Salival did. Also, i don't think Blair would keep mentioning it in his "updates" if they weren't still planning to release it. He's not being crytic just to be mean to the fans, he just likes to fuck with us.

Actually I know about this. But since I found out somewhere that youre a swede, then what do you think? Will we get the album on same day as the friends overseas or even a couple of days sooner. I think this has been a tradition in Europe. Im not absolutely certain of how it usually happens since I havent been buying records on their release date.

Btw. do you happen to know any jokes about Finns? Are there any?

Dirty Sanchez
03-12-2005, 05:46 AM
It's possible that we get the album earlier, but usually we get them later. Albums usually come out on mondays here if i'm not mistaken.

And no, most of our jokes are directed towards the norwegians, but the occasional jokes about finns being depressed and carrying knives come up now and then.
