(Feel free to move this to rumors if you feel so inclined. I thought it was worth seeing just to start up a bit of conversation.)

The following link has a picture of the supposed CD itself:

He goes on to say:

"remember the first tracklisting we saw for the new Tool album? Well that's it. Aldaraia. The band quickly came up with a scheme to cover up those details to keep potential leaks at bay. The scheme isn't really a total hoax though. The artwork that's posted on the official site is the artwork for the live dvd that comes out along with the album. It's title is XM Days. The tracklist is completely fabricated, so don't be surprised when they say "april fools" regarding the tracklist. The band has dropped several hints to the new album, the most visible is Adam featuring the track titled "the thorn" written on his hand in a promo pic."

[gl0tch]

Well if thats the case, I certainly wont be disappointed. AND WE'RE ALL RIGHT!

[TTM]

the cd means nothing, its easy as shit to print out cd covers

Aldaraia was made up.

that cd looks fucking horrible

you guys seriously are a bunch of fucking clowns, you know that?

[Ertai]

the black generic looking case holding the cd doesnt look legit... ontop of that if you actual did have the cd, why only take one screenshot of the cd itself.....

[(-) Thoth]

I want to believe this.

[gl0tch]

you're saying the actual plastic doesnt look legit? How does that work? Not that I am arguing for its validity or anything, but that just is a silly thing to say. Nevertheless, this would be a hopeful possibility, yet unlikely.

[flipmojo]

Aldaraia was made up.

Yes it was. Quote from Blair on toolband:

"Finally, about the “Aldaraia” document that has been circulating on the internet as of late: It is obviously a hoax, and, in my opinion, not a particularly good one. Even a cursory glance at the contents reveals several tell-tale signs that it’s a complete fraud (not including the questionable date formatting). For instance, why would the band’s P.O. Box address be blacked out? It would appear that the perpetrators of the hoax were attempting to make the letter appear more authentic by adding this little touch, but, as it was completely unnecessary to do so, it only betrays it being a genuine 'document.' Also, I don’t think anyone in the band would add an ‘n’ to the ‘Enochian’ word “Aldaraia!”

That is bullshit. It is not the CD. Do not believe it. If it was the CD, there would be leaked music as well. Also, 'X' in roman numerals is 10, and 'M' is 1,000. I think they were simply naming that new cover art 'xm_days' to tie it to the album.

[NoD]

you're saying the actual plastic doesnt look legit? How does that work? Not that I am arguing for its validity or anything, but that just is a silly thing to say. Nevertheless, this would be a hopeful possibility, yet unlikely.

We all know aldaraia was the best track listing we'd seen, but it was fake. Maybe if Blair hadn't mentioned it it could've been true, but he's gone out of his way to address the titles and confirm they were false. He said the new album isn't lateralus II (but it's apparently lateralus II enough to recycle the art for the old tour :/)

[tentonmantra]

and people complain about my posts, seriously.....

[gl0tch]

well, I dont think its likely, but to play devils advocate, he could have said the aforementioned to cover his tracks because it WAS in fact the real deal, knowing very well that we would take everything he says to be real.

[flipmojo]

When are you guys going to get it? The album is called '10,000 Days'. It is coming out May 2nd.

[Goldfoot]

Yes it was. Quote from Blair on toolband:

Yeah well the paper came after the tracklisting was found. Anyway, they were all made up and we have been told it's 1 CD. Why can't people believe that?

[gl0tch]

and you know this how?

"Well you know, I read er, um, I read it somewhere on the internet. Yeah! THAT'S IT! On the internet. Plus, my local college radio DJ - Jimmy Jam Rim Job - said so, so it HAS to be true."

[Goldfoot]

and you know this how?

"Well you know, I read er, um, I read it somewhere on the internet. Yeah! THAT'S IT! On the internet. Plus, my local college radio DJ - Jimmy Jam Rim Job - said so, so it HAS to be true."

coming from a person who has actually worked in a reputable record store for several years, any version of a final whatever is bound to be circulated in the most unlikely of containers.

[bbunt302]

Didn't the guy who actually made up the name/tracklist admit it was fake? If not, then maybe it is a possibility because I don't think we can really believe anything Blair says with 100% certainty.

But if someone admitted to making it up, then it's obviously BS.

[gl0tch]

I made up the tracklist.

just to play devil's advocate, because I don't believe this guy, but the aldaria list had the correct number of tracks before we knew the number, the correct release date before it was confirmed, and 23 which is found in latin on 10,000 days. Dammit I want to believe this, but I can't.

It's info from official sources. At least the best thing about this whole debaucle is that the track titles don't affect ANYTHING related to the music except the way you think about it and since we don't have the music, we don't need the track titles.

Look man you have to understand that this has become to detailed to be a hoax anymore, way too much thought and effort has been put into it just because we have this much free time on our hands does not mean that the band members do. Also I don't understand where you're going with your follow up question.

[NoD]

The whole Aldaraia situation was pretty strange though....

The best April Fool's joke would be for Blair to announce on April 1st that the band had got a look at the Aldaraia name and tracklisting and liked them so much they decided to use them. You wouldn't know if the album would really be called Aldaraia and the joke was the means on how they settled for the name, or they were just fucking with the fans and the title would still be 10,000 days. Mind fuck a'hoy

or it really could by a hoax and they are just demonstrating how people can be easily fooled by one source when you spread the word to different news organizations. A kind of play on the current power structure of the western world.

[ATARI]

I'm believing in the worst, so that when the worst comes, I believed in it
when the best comes, I'll be pleasantly surprised.

and by worst I mean 10,000 days and "The Pot."

[bbunt302]

Here's a crazy idea. Before I get into it, no one should waste their time telling me how stupid and incredibly unlikely it is, because I agree. But I'm gonna throw it out there anyway. I'm really not a fan of these kinds of conspiracy theories so please know that I am gritting my teeth and forcing my self to type this. It hurts. Bad.

What if Danny did indeed give this guy a card w/ the actual album name (i.e. Aldaraia) and tracklist in an attempt to purposefully keep anyone from believing it. Everyone would think it was fake (even though a few internet "news" sources posted it). They would then later claim a fake name (10,000 Days) to be real and even go through the trouble of creating fake album art and logos as well (not that either would require an immense amount of work... a flipped grey scale isn't too hard to do).

Maybe the next step is they'll say on April 1st that Aldaraia was real all along... :)

See how crazy it sounds? On the other hand, everyone knows that Tool has always been about giving a big "Fuck You" to the media and such. Maybe they actually would go through all the trouble to do so. You gotta admit... it would be funny as hell if they did.

[gl0tch]

Rosetta Stoned and the title track I believe.

[gl0tch]

to date, I seriously dont think a ton of work has been done to convince us that this is real. Every source aside from toolband is getting their info from a pool of rumors or toolband itself, which notoriously has fucked with every media outlet in the past.

[One Dark Flame]

Rosetta Stoned and the title track I believe.
I believe you are correct, do you happen to know what magazine that was??

[sambarugh]

Would be nice if this was true, makes more sense with that image being related to the DVD too as it's similar to Lateralus and the tour was for Lateralus.

[gl0tch]

I think it was some German magazine the band probably didnt give a fuck about lying to just to perpetuate the rumors

Very good point. It is for this exact reason that I refrain from believing any one side on this issue and am simply waiting for the day that I hold the album in my hands. Its been said countless times and I always found it annoying but now I feel the same way. Because of the Lateralus fiasco, Tool is the only band I meet with this kind of skepticism. So I believe nothing. I just wait and refrain from partaking in the Tool-Fan-Boy lesson on patience quote: "wait it out....be patient..." Everyone does that.

I don't discourage anyone who's trying to find the truth about this whole thing but there's way too much bickering.

I find it funny that someone actually started a new thread about this. There are so many reasons why this is fake - I just couldn't be bothered typing them all out...

Seriously, how easy is it these days to fool someone/people?

Some guy who has never really posted before comes to a forum and says "Oh yeah, this is what the cd looks like, the real name is Aldaraia and there's a live dvd too"

He claims he has a friend of a friend who knows someone connected with the band or some shit? Fuck me, just give up already!

I could come on here tomorrow and say that while Tool were in Australia a few weeks ago, one of my friend's friends was at the listening session and talked to the band and they said there's actually gonna be 12 tracks and that a live dvd will be released sometime around June 1st or 6th, just for fun, and that the band will start touring the U.S. on September 1st....

It's ridiculous how easy it is these days to mislead people... just wait a few days and you'll get a silly april fool's joke, then maybe some more new album info, maybe some lyrics from the first single, the first single on the radio, a whole bunch of reviews after April 13th and then in a couple of weeks Tool's album will be out and they will be touring and all this fucked speculation/rumours/bullshit will be over...

Nobody knows for sure whether or not your asspal's Aldaria disk is legit. So stop pretending you know. What you found was one persons speculation, amongsts hundreds of other speculations on the internet.

I gotta say, the black cd case backing is unusual, since Tool tends to put an image behind the cd, like most people do these days. That's not to say it's impossible, but it sure would be a killjoy if they did that.

I really wish people would stop acting like they KNOW tool personally or something. At this point, everything is speculation. Nobody knows official information, so kindly shut the fuck up.

Exactly!

It just makes NO sense that the official logo would pass through all these channels and not one person would say, "hey by the way, does anyone else think this says 'fool' ?"

Seriously, you cant just excuse that through. Do you guys know anything about design? Alex Grey most prob. made over 6 figures for Lateralus. Though the "art" we have been shown is done by him, he isnt doing the layout and design. There's a difference. Thats someone else's job. No professional designer would plaster the words all over the face like that. White text on a black and white image is a design NO-NO. Its safe to assume whoever does the album art along with whoever does the layout, will make money. No where in that process would they allow something that reads like 'fool' to pass through.

And BTW- when I posted links to other "album art" so many of you said it was fake solely on the criteria that the text appeared on the cover. NOW WHAT? now what? How can your criteria for one thing change for another? Because Blair said so? bLiAR? give me a break.

[Indrid Cold]

Well, all I know is that the "Aladaria" stuff was posted here as well as on the other site back in February. It has suspicious track titles that resemble the ones on toolband.com. Since "The Thorn" is clearly written on Adams hand in the promo pic that mysteriously disappeared from that one site just a while ago, it’s starting to make me believe this stuff. Also, because the "Aladaria" post was posted back in February and had May 2nd as the release date in the post it all just seems too odd. Wasn't that before anyone knew anything from toolband.com. How could someone just pull May 2nd and "The Thorn" as well as "Vicereal" and "23" out of their ass like that. I just think there’s a lot here that’s just too much of a coincidence. But who's positive of anything now anyway.

Most probably fabricated, but this:

The artwork that's posted on the official site is the artwork for the live dvd

That would make sense, in keeping with the Lateralus theme.

K I'm yet to see this pic of 'The Thorn' written on Adam's hand, if it's the one I'm thinking about then LOL! that doesn't say "The Thorn" but please refresh my memory. We presumed the release date was May 2 after Blair had told us it would be released in May and to save Track 2, meaning save May 2 for the disc, I'm pretty sure this was before Aladaria. "Vicereal" was taken from toolband and I think I had a hand in spreading that rumor. Blair admitted that "Viginiti Tres" and "23" were a coincidence at best, not to mention the guy who said he was given the card from Danny with the Aladaria name and track list admitted it was a fake.

The following link has a picture of the supposed CD itself:

He goes on to say:

"remember the first tracklisting we saw for the new Tool album? Well that's it. Aldaraia. The band quickly came up with a scheme to cover up those details to keep potential leaks at bay. The scheme isn't really a total hoax though. The artwork that's posted on the official site is the artwork for the live dvd that comes out along with the album. It's title is XM Days. The tracklist is completely fabricated, so don't be surprised when they say "april fools" regarding the tracklist. The band has dropped several hints to the new album, the most visible is Adam featuring the track titled "the thorn" written on his hand in a promo pic."

Dude, a TDN poster admitted to making up Aldaraia himself. You really need to stop letting your strong desire for Aldaraia to be the name influence you to think everything you see confirms that it is.

[magnolia]

i like that disc design a lot... hope it's legit. as for "XM Days"... seems like a retarded title for anything.

[Ocelot199]

Edit: This posts needs its own thread. I want to discuss this and nobody is paying attention to this thread anymore.

[bluefire]

^god I wanna believe you're right.

and to add the case might be blacked out, b/c the cds are not printing with the album art.

[TornDown]

ok...im going on pure instinct on this one, but that cd feels right. i dont know why, but it does. the poster of the image originally mentioned that he would not include album art, so he would have to put the cd into a different case if the case had artwork on it. oh and about the more than one disc thing, sure they said that the album itself was one disc but they never said anything about not releasing a combo pack of album and dvd now did they? and to those of you saying that maybe tool will post the real info on april 1st, i whole heartedly agree simply because it will cause even more confusion.

At this point, everything is speculation. Nobody knows official information, so kindly shut the fuck up.

Except that Toolband has told us everything. It doesn't matter if they lied before. This isn't then and there isn't a reason to now. Also, when they DID lie, they quickly updated the site with the truth.

...now, when I come to think of it, that is quite plausable.... JB HIFI in Australia is selling the new album for 21.99$, which although JB HIFI are one of the cheaper outlets in Australia, they would not sell a new album like that for that much. They only do that for standard editions of CD's, such as the Muse non tour edition CD, etc.... Maybe, that is the price for the album itself, without the DVD... perhaps... I dunno....

I thought the cd art looked familiar. We all know how tool is into sacred geometry... click on "Cymatics" in the Music section

I've already said it in another thread, but this cd art is a pure fake and commit a copyright infringement.
Anyway... this is just a part of an Apophysis-rendered image, from a personal website. here the link :

look the last picture line, right hand side. ok ?

Anthony already confessed to that email/cd being a joke. Read through those threads on 10000-days.com before posting it here.

You all will freak out the release day. Aldaraia is coming!
My friend who is from Saturn told me that the release will be a DVD packed together with a Cd and a mint flavored dildo. The deluxe edition will be released in 3 different colors. A colorblind version is on the run....

well, not really...

SALUD!

[praefector]

too many holes:

for one, printing CD labels is easy and that design is straight out of spirograph pc

second, why take a pic of the CD but no pic of the coverart, liner notes, or anything else. my guess, because the other things in question are proven fakes and all that's left of this hoax is the CD art.

and lastly, if one had the actual CD and bothered to post a pic of it...why wouldnt that same person just archive the CD with winrar, alter the filenames, and post it on YSI or RAPIDSHARE

just someone attempting to extend a hoax thats already had the air taken out of it.
