New logo is cool!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[l David l]

please give a little more information. how do we know its not fake

[ATARI]

lool

[Het_Bijeenroepen]

Source?

[Ryan]

lool

i agree, but that does look pretty damn awesome.

[gl0tch]

Let's all congratulate tentonmantra on his try at making a new fake. Care to show us more?

[Pushit666]

Looks too much like Lateralus.

[The Scottish Tool]

I dont like it. FAKE!

[Naga Royal Guard]

the fondue pot was better

[ATARI]

I'm not saying that it's likely, but I wouldn't be dissapointed if this was the official artwork.

[l David l]

also, if it is real, tool will be so dissapointed for not showing it to us first on toolband.

yeah, looks way too much like the outside cover for lateralus

[ifrigginghatethis]

i like it, where i can buy it

[5th Eye]

What?

[tentonmantra]

get a life

[gl0tch]

I would

[mike tyson]

that looks retarded

[bwood99x]

i do like it...alot more than the track and title, but doubt it is real just like everything we are hearing right now....other than may 2nd

[ATARI]

you have to admit though, it's a little better than the fakes before, because he actually took the time to print it out and fold it up

[Nemesis]

please give a little more information. how do we know its not fake

If people want to make a good fake you have to design the whole of the booklet as well.

[Pushit666]

Yeah, it does look aesthetically pleasing like Lateralus. But I don't think Tool would do that.

[ATARI]

the question is though, why would he have it in the first place if it was offical?

[tentonmantra]

If people want to make a good fake you have to design the whole of the booklet as well.

llike you say..."word!"

[Perseensilmä]

REminds me of Stratovarius (http://usuarios.lycos.es/carabareto/covers/stratovarius-visions1.jpg). I don´t like stratovarius or their art, at all. In fact THEY MOTHERFUCKING SUCK AND IF NEW TOOL RECORD LOOKS LIKE A STRATOVARIUS RECORD THEN I AM GOING TO SHOOT MYSELF OR SOMEONE ELSE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[rochey-o]

i love that

and its sot all the saturns 10000 day shit on the cover

thumbs up

[orange.juice]

if the logo wasn´t completely stupified, i´d almost believe it. So, LAWL.

[Tyro]

Definetly one of the better fakes.

[Perseensilmä]

Give me a motherfucking break


TOOL ISN´T FUCKING STRATOVARIUS AND IT MAKES ME FUCKING SICK THAT PEOPLE EVEN THINK THAT THIS LOOKS GREAT OR THAT IT LOOKS LIKE A TOOL COVER!!! NO FUCKING WAY!!!! IT´S WAY TOO PRETENTIOUS, LIKE A STRATOVARIUS COVER

The true art has already leaked and it´s those Joshua Davis pics. Every cover is unique and that´s it.

[gl0tch]

+1

[goats]

rip the cd

[Leandrenos]

LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL I love a good rant

[orange.juice]

juippy, you´re wrong. tha "brown art" you´re talking about is definitely NOT the new cover art. DEFINITELY.

[gl0tch]

And trust me he knows because he has a capital 'oh' Opinion.

[tentonmantra]

nerves are breaking around the world.
and nobody knows the truth.

[cleanbluesky]

TBH I expect if this were the real one, the guy would be bragging about how and where he got it and why he is so privaledged...

Its a good effort, wouldn't be surprised if it WERE the real artwork because of the continuing theme... Lateralus had a spiritual theme in the covers associated with extra sensory perception and spirtuality and this has a moon phases Pagan theme...

Either way, whoever made it is on the balll...

AND BTW, using large font does not make your opinion more accurate than the first time you posted it...

[Perseensilmä]

Yes, they are. At least some of them.

This would be very easy to fake.

1) Make cover
2) Print
3) Get clear plastic
4) Cut to size
5) Fold over image
6) Hold in hand, take picture
7) Post on TDN

It's pretty cool looking. Not buying it yet.

I am not feeling the whole "astral" artwork for an album that will focus inward.

Thats the exact reason NOT to believe its real. Jesus, Tool is NEVER that formulaic.

[timifendrix]

It's a cool design even if it's a fake. At least somebody put some work into this one.

[cleanbluesky]

Anyone know the font used?

[Perseensilmä]

Hopefully not.

[cleanbluesky]

Hopefully not.

Don't you mean

"HOPEFULLY NOT, FIRST TOOL RIP OFF DISTURBED AND NOW STRATAVARIUS"

[Hodge]

i enjoy this fake the most

[gl0tch]

Ignorance surely allows us to project meaning into ambiguity. this wasnt a lot of work, trust me. tentonmantra made this for a dare in another thread. Though his point is proven generally speaking, *I* for one am discerning enough to know that this Arabic looking dunkwipe attempt is fake. To be fair, in his defense it prob. took 5 minutes to make.

[Perseensilmä]

Don't you mean

HOPEFULLY NOT



YES, I MOTHERFUCKING MEAN: HOPEFULLY NOT! i HOPE IT WILL BE LOST FOREVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

No, it doesn't

[orange.juice]

mirror the "t" and you have it, duh.

[guildmaster]

mirror the "t" and you have it, duh.

You would have to rotate the t. And on that note, take the Lateralus "tool" and flip it upside down. Same effect.

omg, may-b teh laterralis atrwork iz fake 2! 11!!!!!

[Idiotica]

actually i'm starting to think these covers are rejected designs posted by 'someone' close to the band.

[ATARI]

i hope this is real

[gl0tch]

actually i'm starting to think these covers are rejected designs posted by 'someone' close to the band.

which ones?

[Perseensilmä]

I sincerely do not.

[gl0tch]

Isnt that image taken from the Prince of Persia videogame?

[Het_Bijeenroepen]

mirror the "t" and you have it, duh.
You can mirror the T into an F only by flipping it first. You cannot mirror the word into Fool, the L will always become upside down. And it's actually easier to make it look like Fool if the T is facing the correct way to begin with.

[gl0tch]

who cares? ITS FAKE

[Het_Bijeenroepen]

Exactly. Well said.

ok, you got me. it's "foot". the stinking one...

[just simulacra]

I like this a lot, actually.
If it's not fake ... I wouldn't be disappointed.

[Ocelot199]

Someone oughtta make a photobucket album with all of these fake (or not so fake) album covers.

That being said, I would not be in the least bit dissapointed if this was the new cover... even though I think someone already admitted to it being a fake.

Maybe they'll do a special edition of the album with all the fake covers inside a la Aenima :)

[Ocelot199]

Haha, do it dude. That'd be really cool. SSS or flux would prolly sticky it, for everyone's convenience.

Edit: To Ryan.

If you don't wanna do it, I'll search around and get them all.

[UtUmNo1]

you should move the Dot_Matrix ones to the album art section of your site!

[dark_Speedo]

That cover actually looks legit, even if it's fake kudos to whoever took the time to make it.

[kholdstayr]

You can add these to the toolcollector website:

Couldn't be bothered to read the whole thread, but did anyone notice on the 'cover' that the T in Tool was an upside down F?

[Ocelot199]

You guys need to learn how to post a fucking hyperlink.

Good jorb, Ryan. Maybe make a new thread where people can contribute?

[kyyuulle]

i agree Ryan, nice jorb...

[Madklikor]

I'm getting tired of this.

[bass_dude]

Couldn't be bothered to read the whole thread, but did anyone notice on the 'cover' that the T in Tool was an upside down F?

yes. thus a conversation about rotating/reflecting the name ensued.

nothing came of it but a few sore egos.

Alex

[kyyuulle]

oh shut up, it's fun and you know it.

you guys should make one, it might go up on the fake album art website!

like a contest

[UtUmNo1]

The last one was the real deal.

[Ryan]

[gl0tch]

I dunno, amongst those listed the middle 3 up top seem like they are on a different level,

[thejesus]

Sorry if this has been posted already...

I just did a search for "10,000 days" and "moon" to see what comes up...

I came across this article from the AFA website where the author is speculating about who created the moon...

While the author ultimatley concludes that 'God' created the hevans and the Earth, the part that of the article that interested me was some of the statistics it contained...


"...the Earth revolves 366 times in one orbit of the Sun, and the Earth is 366% larger than the Moon. Conversely, the Moon takes 27.32 days to orbit the Earth and is 27.32% of Earth's size.

...The number 366 was the basis of the ancient measuring system we have reconstructed and that number keeps popping up along with a small group of round numbers such as 400 and 10,000. For example, the Moon is 400 times closer to the Earth than the Sun and exactly 400 times smaller than the Sun. And in 366 orbits of the Moon, the Earth experiences 10,000 days."


I should note that I do not know if some or all of these stats are accurate...but interesting nonetheless

[Ocelot199]

That is quite interesting.

Somehow, I don't think thats totally true... some number fucking went on somewhere in there. Still, nifty.

This one gets my vote! It looks pretty damn cool and the logo is kewl too.

[The Official Fiction]

After seeing a better picture of it... I don't know...it even has that rosetta stone thing going on in the backround... a bit too obvious...maybe...I don't know...we'll see soon enough.

[Citizen Erased]

REminds me of Stratovarius (http://usuarios.lycos.es/carabareto/covers/stratovarius-visions1.jpg). I don´t like stratovarius or their art, at all. In fact THEY MOTHERFUCKING SUCK AND IF NEW TOOL RECORD LOOKS LIKE A STRATOVARIUS RECORD THEN I AM GOING TO SHOOT MYSELF OR SOMEONE ELSE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

HAHA. Disregarding this post, I do like that. The logo is great, but i'm not liking the overall look. I think a scan of it face down would be better, rather than a squiff angled shot with lots of glare.

[paraflux]

Banned for being an alias of tentronmantra.

[champion]

Blair has said that none of the leaked artwork is the real deal so far.

[Perseensilmä]

I have said this before and I will say it again:

Blair has also said that he was overwhelmed by a somekind of a pyramid looking alien or something.

[gl0tch]

I have said this before and I will say it again:

Does that mean he's referring to the brown and gold one? There's a pyramid looking structure in there and an alien like face in there as well.

[Lost Keys]

oh wow. that's actually the tooliest looking fake I've seen yet. gave me 'that feeling' for a second, ya know? i like the moon cycle and everything. someone put some nice work into this if it's fake. the more i look at it.... ah nevermind

<----------------------- avatar *sigh*


<_<

weird..... now why was he really banned....................... >_>

was that real?


lawlz o_O

[Perseensilmä]

Does that mean he's referring to the brown and gold one? There's a pyramid looking structure in there and an alien like face in there as well.

No, he talked about aliens and overwhelming WAY back, I think it was before they announced that they are working on a new album. So, it was totally unrelated to this album but I was just pointing out that the guy can´t quite be trusted.

[tentonmantra]

This would be very easy to fake.

1) Make cover
2) Print
3) Get clear plastic
4) Cut to size
5) Fold over image
6) Hold in hand, take picture
7) Post on TDN

It's pretty cool looking. Not buying it yet.

I am not feeling the whole "astral" artwork for an album that will focus inward.

oh no no no, much less effort than that, please.
steps 2,3,4 and 5 are out of question.

i felt like sharing these with you. i hope i don´t crush many hopes and hearts.
