a note on release dates in general...

[idiotboy]

hey, no specific news here but i wanted to address an issue about all this "july release!!!" bullshit.

for those who don't know, record companies have to notify cd stores (hell, manufacturers before that) WELL in advance before an album comes out, for the most part. if anyone gets on here saying about the album coming out before, let's say, mid-august, it's bullshit unless your local big-ass cd store says they've got a date in for it. granted there are exceptions, but release dates usually get announced 2 months at least in advance. it's the same with dvd's. or it least it was a year or two ago, i'm sure it's about the same now.

[...KiLLeR ToFu...]

Theyre not even finished recording yet!!!

[(-) Thoth]

yea, so go kill yourself, you nay-sayer!

[...KiLLeR ToFu...]

Ill bet my closet full of shoes that its a september release

[(-) Thoth]

I don't think anyone wants your shoes.

I'm betting on a fall or winter release.

[...KiLLeR ToFu...]

Im just gonna disconnect from the tool world for a few weeks and than one day ill return and there will be news about the new album.

or not.

[idiotboy]

yea, so go kill yourself, you nay-sayer!

stop that! stop being so mean!

...just kiddin', i love it rough baby, fuck me with misplaced hope!

[Carny_Handles]

you're dead on with the september release date. It will be out on 10-13-05

the number 13 is also significant with this new album.

[Nathan6887]

I just hope it comes out before the end of the world.

[mike tyson]

Thank you Mr. Release Date Researcher Man.

[Ashes-TO-Ashes]

It'll be finished soon because they're going to chuck it together to be money-grubbing hacks.

[GelatiCruiser]

Also....10-13 is a Thursday....not a Tuesday.

I say Tuesday, January 17th, 2006.

Winner.

You get an ookie cookie.

[Isac Khrondor]

I doubt they have even finished recording the whole album, and when they do finish, they'll just do nothing for a year.

ARGGGHh!1

for those who don't know, record companies have to notify cd stores (hell, manufacturers before that) WELL in advance before an album comes out.

What's to say they haven't?

Maybe there are thousands of copies of the album stored in a remote wine cellar in Arizona and Tool is just waiting for one of us to guess the name of the album before they release them.

[triad636]

rest assured it will probably be out by sept at the latest im guessing... i hope it doesnt take em more than 3 months to record :(

[PsychoX_02568]

I hope it never gets finish. The suspense is great!

[triad636]

i cant take much more.. i could when maynard was with apc but now that i no the whole band is in the studio together i cant wait much longer

[mike tyson]

It's been a long time since we had new Tool material, and who knows if I'll ever like them as much as I used to. For me, the suspense is non-existant, but it'd be cool to hear some new stuff.

[Isac Khrondor]

If the new album is shit, or never comes out I might just have to slash your ass with a chainsaw.

[PsychoX_02568]

I was just kidding.

[triad636]

isac ill be in soo much pain if the album is crap... you can slash me in the face with a chainsaw.. i wouldnt care.. anything to stop the pain of a crappy album..

[idiotboy]

What's to say they haven't?


i am. *grin* follow my logic, and i don't mean to sound condescending. y'know how blockbuster and fye and media play and all them have their big release date boards up, as well as the promo posters that say stuff like "tool - don't wanna be your monkey wrench - the new album - in stores december 25th!!!"? they tend to put up release dates and posters 4-6 weeks in advance, which means they receive word of these same posters and release date signs a week or two before THAT, and they receive word in a thing that's KINDA like a monthly (or weekly depending on the store) inventory, kind of a "hey, in 2 weeks you should be getting a large promo poster for tool's new album" heads-up thing. when they get that inventory it has the release date for the new album next to it so john q workingman knows he better put the goddamn poster up before then. this inventory is also made so they can look in it when you ask "hey man, when's the new britney spears coming out?" and they say "hmm, looks like we've got a new single coming out august 29th, son" and then you know to fill up the car with gas and set your alarm for 9:50am so's you can get to the store in time to buy it as they unlock their doors in the morning.

the reason i know they haven't done this is because if you walk into any corporate record store anytime soon and ask about a release date for a new tool album, you'll probably get laughed out of your mall. funny, if you walk into any indie record store and ask about a release date for a new tool album, they'll laugh you out of their vintage clothing neighborhood for not knowing ALREADY. *rolls eyes*

anyway, as soon as an actual release date pops up, every best buy employee who thinks he's so the shit for having long hair will be all over here like a fat kid at a bake sale telling us when it is.

5-12-2099

see, SOMEbody understands.

[shifty50fs]

[QUOTE=idiotboy]i am. *grin* follow my logicQUOTE]

Yea, I already did, I was just throwing that out there.

You have to agree that it would be cool if they completely defied convention and suddenly one day within the month, the shelves of Best Buy had a Tool CD and DVD? No warning. No promo-posters. Just complete surprise.

[idiotboy]

yeah, definitely, that would be the tits. that kind of happened for me with the nine inch nails single for "the day the world went away". i didn't know any websites with reliable info, and i'd been at my dad's parents house with no computer for like a month, and i finally make my way to a cd store and check the nine inch nails section and "heyyyyyyyyyyy, lookithat...". i'd love it if tool did that, it would be hilarious. career suicide, but hilarious. i think volcano would crucify them before they'd let that happen.

[Isac Khrondor]

I bet it's a greatest hits cd.

[GelatiCruiser]

I bet not.

[idiotboy]

I bet it's a greatest hits cd.

i'd get back on here and laugh at everyone here, except for you 'cuz you came up with it and i'd fly to your house and give you a high five.

[vic1torious]

its kinda lame how there is all this speculation. it's not like the speculation will get the record out any sooner. I'd rather know it's coming out tommorow then finding out the date is set for 3 months from now, because counting the days blows.

[GelatiCruiser]

1/17/06....it has to be...lol

[SaTaNs_LiTtLe_HeLpEr]

Im just gonna disconnect from the tool world for a few weeks and than one day ill return and there will be news about the new album.
Actually when you come back you'll learn that the title of the upcoming album has an "L" and nothing more. Keep coming bakc after your tdn inactivity and you just may spell out the album title for us.

I have a feeling this is the way it will be, and I agree with you: i like it better because i hate counting days or even months. I doubt we will know anything until about a month before release, maybe even less time. I think tool will tell the record company to keep it quiet until the last possible second. This keeps the suspense, and will help to keep it off the internet 2 months early (which happens to a lot of bands who insist on giving information way too early).

[tomXwithXweather]

It comes out this tuesday, when you least expect it.

[idiotboy]

well, i least expect it to come out, period. so that means it actually will come out. confirmation anyone?

[SaTaNs_LiTtLe_HeLpEr]

ask bLIAR

[Isac Khrondor]

i'd get back on here and laugh at everyone here, except for you 'cuz you came up with it and i'd fly to your house and give you a high five.

That's the way my freind, we could chill out and listen to their greatest hits together while drinking tea.

[idiotboy]

tool - 'phenomenatronics' - august 16th

01. hush
02. sober
03. prison sex
04. stinkfist
05. aenema
06. schism
07. parabol

[idiotboy]

goddamn suminabitch, someone figured it out. =( oh well, time to start over. back to the drawing board, tool, start work on a whole new "new album", due in 2011.

[Dr. Jake Destructo]

I was discussing this with a fellow Toolophile. How would you guys react if you just walked into your cd store, and you saw a new Tool album just sitting on the shelf?

I would piss my pants, change my pants, and then buy the album of course.

I would just buy the album.

[Isac Khrondor]

I would steal the album.

[GelatiCruiser]

I would dry hump the album in the store.

[idiotboy]

i'd immediately pick it up, bring it over to my kids and say "see guys, this is that band i was telling you about that strung everyone along about a new album for 20 years."

[SaTaNs_LiTtLe_HeLpEr]

I'd smack my kids over the head with it and say, "HAH, you guys got owned!"
