Embargo ends April 13th

[mike09]

This is the date when the embargo ends. I'm kind of curious, though.

They've released the album name, tracklist, some artwork and some tour dates. So, why is there still an embargo?

[Ocelot199]

Because the name, tracklist and artwork are all an elaborate hoax!

Or something.

[a_sirian_in_agony]

im kinda scared....this either the biggest motherfucking april fools....or its true..

[champion]

Blair said the embargo was temporary so the band could control the release of information. It has been lifted.

[mike09]

interesting...

[mike09]

Why haven't we seen any more reviews of the album then?

[5th Eye]

im kinda scared....this either the biggest motherfucking april fools....or its true..2006 FOOLS!

[Nebel]

April 13th we're going to see more reviews for the album.

[Nemesis]

im kinda scared....this either the biggest motherfucking april fools....or its true..

Last time I checked, Aprils Fools day, was only one day, the 1st of April. Nothing happened on the 1st of April.

[Natalie Portman]

It has been lifted.
what information do you have to back this up?

[champion]

Blair's emails saying so, as well as common sense. The embargo was in place to control the information release. It's been lifted since magazines with interviews are being released this week and the title and track-listing have been officially announced by the band.

I wonder what the word is on the dvd? A simultaneous release with the album would be pretty killer.

Indeed it would. Though as exciting as that would be, I doubt it will happen, sadly. All we can do is hope...and wait.

[dracomordag]

previews of the new album will start showing up then not because of any embargo, but because this is pretty much the earliest they could come out.

Blair posted that the single was going to first be heard on the 17th on April Fool's day. Maybe that is somehow part of a joke? Or something.

[Snakedragon]

they'd better release vicarious on toolband to stream on 13/4

Dunno, what time did he post it? After 12 noon it's not relevant anymore.

Didn't Billboard have this announcement before it was on Toolband though?

[ladiatia]

A Cd and a DVD packed together like SALIVAL will be amazing. Anyway I guees this time we will only get 10.000 days.

SALUD!

[CallofCthulhu]

[czar]

In comparison to usual release choronology of other albums (for the sake of the release date of the Tool album, let's use the new Red Hot Chili Peppers album as its comparison because they are coming out the same week), the single should be getting out there very soon.

Today iTunes released a pre-order for the RHCP album, along with their new single to buy, but the single is also out to download on various P2P, etc... I understand that, yes, this was a completely promotion-based move for the album, but it is usually about a month before the release date that one can find the first single off of a new album popping up on the internet.

I suspect we will be hearing the new Tool single within the next week.

Of course, what do I know?

[hanger25934]

you are correct

[fraz]

they'd better release vicarious on toolband to stream on 13/4

if they did that their site would probably crash, just like when they sold lateralus vinyl from the shop.

I have a feeling things are going to get very interesting around here come Thursday...............

[bass_dude]

*eerie music*

I think i'll go play some bass. nothing happening here...

[mike tyson]

Now I know the embargo ends Thursday and stuff can be published, but what websites are likely to have info/reviews?

Kerrang? Who else?

[Nebel]

the next kerrang issue is coming out tomorrow, we'll see if it has a review

[Scratch]

embargo?

[mike tyson]

Ugh, yes the embargo.

Tool made those who heard the album via listening parties/whatever, sign an agreement that they wouldn't publish any reviews of the album/leak any information until April 13th.

The embargo.

[phreak03]

doesn't the kerrang issue come out todaY?

[Nebel]

That's right, the embargo was due to end April 13th, that Dutch duder said he's gonna post his review on his blog on that day.

[profundo giallo]

Kerrang is out on the Wednesday(12th), i hope theres a review in it but i doubt it. My moneys on next weeks issue.

[Scratch]

ahh, embargo

[Nebel]

Kerrang is out on the Wednesday(12th), i hope theres a review in it but i doubt it. My moneys on next weeks issue.

Well Kerrang is the one who has first dibs on the embargo.

[eddie75]

Well Kerrang is the one who has first dibs on the embargo.
How do you have first dibs on an embargo?

[mike tyson]

Yeah...

[Nebel]

How do you have first dibs on an embargo?

You know what I mean, an embargo exists solely for containing information, but Kerrangs are the ones who are the cause of this embargo and once they let the information out, the embargo is over. An exclusive. Well in Europe anyway. Sorry I should have worded it better.

[mike tyson]

I thought it was just to keep leaks at a minimum and conceal information as long as possible.

[sinister exaggerator]

ahh, embargo


quimbago!!!!

[mike tyson]

quimbago!!!!

gtfo

[Andorion]

It makes me sick to my stomach that there was an embargo on information mandated by Tool or its management... GOD FOR BID PEOPLE SHARE INFORMATION or talk about their masterwork.

[vinegar_tom]

This is just like the "Dambargo" Act of 1807. Man, it really screwed us. No imports or exports till England or France lifts their restrictions. Thankfully, the Embargo Act was abolished just before Jefferson left office. But, when Madison stepped in he initiated the Non-intercourse Act, which forbade imports or exports only with France and England and not all foreign countries. Finally, Macon's Bill No. 2 stated that the U.S. would trade exclusively with whichever country(England or France) lifted it's restrictions first. Of course, Napoleon jumped at this opportunity, further marring relations with Great Britian leading into the War of 1812.

Yes, it's just like that.

Yeah! They really beat the system... good for them. If a leak were to get out, they might actually have to settle for a private jet without surround sound dvd players. And we can't have that. Seriously, stop verbally sucking off the band as if they were a group of disenfranchised turd miners. They're going to make millions off the album, regardless of leaks, and millions more during their shows. A leak isnt going to set them back, that's just a ridiculous amount of greed for you.

I don't really think Tool has ever come off as greedy pricks. I'm not saying holy shit they deserve all this money, blah blah.. I download CD's all the time. In fact, I never buy CD's anymore. The point I'm making is that people should stop being whiny fucking bitches because they're not leaking their album or showing it off like other bands. Tool isn't like that many other bands, so get the fuck over it.

You've waited 5 years, why not wait 3 more weeks?

[Bogart]

You don't know what you are talking about. Do you really know how much a band makes off of a record? Not that much. And it is their music, so it should be their decision as to when they want to make it public. I think its great they are taking all of these precautions to stop the threat of their music being leaked.

[Andorion]

If you're pissed about Tool's embargo or their keeping of information from us, you're a fucking goon. God forbid they try and beat the system and keep their music off the internet until it's fucking released officially.

You really think blocking people from reviewing the album has anything to do with preventing leaks? You really think not discussing what instruments were used, things that happened in the process of making it, what people were involved with the album, ANYTHING to do with ANYTHING to do with the album - you think that keeping all that kind of information under wraps has anything to do with stopping the album from leaking? You're retarded if you do.

Whatever they're doing to keep the album from leaking is working - not distributing CDs, not even pressing them until the last minute, doing the artwork in-house or by someone trusted, not letting a single copy of the CD out of their sight, etc.

The embargo on information or discussion about the album is a totally seperate issue, and in no way affects leaking or not leaking. You're the goon if you think Tool can "do no harm" and that everything they do is for a reason and for a good reason. This embargo fucking sucks, and they way they're handling this release (Andy's review and the radio station reprimand for instance) turns my stomach.

[Johnny Truant]

Guess what? It's Tool's album, and they can do whatever the fuck they want with it. Shut up.

[Kinesthesis]

Absolutely. The music will be available soon enough anyway.

[TTBIDA]

Dude, they reverse the use of commas and decimal points in Europe. As in "10.000 Days" and "I need about $3,50".

Erm, no we don't. In England we would write 10,000 or 10000. 10.000 would indicate the same value as 10. We would also write $3.50.

Or are you excluding several countries from the term "Europe"?

[mike tyson]

Guess what? It's Tool's album, and they can do whatever the fuck they want with it. Shut up.

What site has this embargo?Ive just been coming here seeing what Info you losers had.Haha

[Neill Fraser]

As someone already this is absurb and stupid. So is not using the metric system but some idiot thought it was better to destroy logic and stay with old ways, what dumb country would do such a thing?

[dekard49]

As someone else mentioned on the board, it would make more sense to release to the Lateralus tour DVD while still in the Lateralus "era". If it doesnt come out now, when WILL it come out?

Or perhaps all the excitment surrounding the 10,000 days tour would generate enough interest to shift a few hundred thousand(?) copies.

(does anyone have an idea what the general CD > Live DVD ratio is for a band?)

[5th Eye]

It won't come out.

[fault]

Ive just been coming here seeing what Info you losers had.Haha

Nice to meet you, and we welcome your sort here with open arms.

'Tis about to end, is this embargo. (Aussie time, of course)

I expect one hundred reviews to be posted at midnight. :P

On thursday, I'm going to see what's going on in the afternoon, then I won't be back by a computer until late.. hopefully madness has ensued.

Hopefully Tool will decide to be kind to their fans and release Vicarious a little earlier for streaming.

O yea, tons of shits gonna happen tomorrow, just like on april fools.

u guys remember april fools? do ya? u guys remember that? lol it was sooo funny.

Yeah, it happens on the 17th, not tomorrow.

[NoD]

It would be really cool if the single would be streamable on toolband by midnight pacific time tonight, and hit the airwaves tomorrow. The april fools joke could've been the single release date.

[Novus Opiate Seclorum]

Nice to meet you, and we welcome your sort here with open arms.

I was being sarcastic.Whoever likes tool is cool.

[spitcodfry]

I just have to say I am really impressed with Tool's security on this thing. In an age where hardly anything remains a secret for long what with the monster the internet has become it's a wonder they've been able to escape it's clutches.

More of an annoyance.

Keeping the album under wraps just because they don't want to lose money? What a bunch of selfish pricks. did you really just say that, without sarcasm? you're the exact reason why they're being so secretive. it's not like it's their job/art/life or anything. why would you protect it from leaking all over the internet and into the hands of pretentious thirteen year olds that have no grasp of the importance of an artists work? you make me sick. i wish i had cancer, so i could feel better.

t'was sarcasm. sorry mate.

One more day the album goes without leaking is another day I applaud the band. It pisses me off when people argue favouring downloading, going on rants about how (instert band member here) needs more money or private jets or w/e.

[Spongebob]

reverend resistor, they are super protective over their art, i havent released many albums myself, but i can understand that putting a fuckload of time into an album package would be pretty important to me, and so i would want lots of control over it.

EDIT:

sarcasm is meant to be funny reverend.

like this:

O yea, tons of shits gonna happen tomorrow, just like on april fools.

u guys remember april fools? do ya? u guys remember that? lol it was sooo funny.

As impatient as i am, that comment is spot on.

[TheRuleOfThree]

I will only say this.

People heard about the "embargo" from someone close to Andy King, who was the first to have a full run-in with the management about the violation. However, the date is something that we've only seen mentioned in a couple places, and both times it seemed a little out of the norm. We were told it was meant as a "Kerrang!" exclusive and that the embargo was the barrier for that information.

I don't think we're going to see an avalanche of info tomorrow. In fact, we may see one or two articles, but I doubt we'll see anything out of the ordinary. People on this board have just built it up, made threads about it, and freaked out over it. Just like April fools, fake album titles, etc.

The best thing to do is ignore what everyone on here says and just check the news sections on most of the fan sites. Thats where verified information finds itself most of the time, although sometimes its bullshit too.

But for now, don't wait up for tomorrow. I imagine it may be pretty slow.

Wasn't one of the places from the lady that said she refused to abide by it?
Or did I just dream that?

Ideally, I'd like to be able to hear the single before I'm able to sit and read all these reviews of the entire album. That will be sorta painful.

Well, unfortunately, the article doesn't really back up any information with the date, all it notes is that there IS a bit of a gag order on those who got to go to the listening sessions. We have no way of knowing those details definitively.

True. I'll still cross my fingers. I won't hold my breath though.

I just wonder what exactly was in these 3 pages worth of contract. Possibly some interesting stuff which no one who has heard the album (and signed the waiver deal) can discuss.

I wonder if McCabe is the only one that has read iit and not signed it.

[ManicDepressive]

embargo over?
I think the embargo is over for which time zone the person is in or something like that.

[CallofCthulhu]

This is the date when the embargo ends. I'm kind of curious, though.

They've released the album name, tracklist, some artwork and some tour dates. So, why is there still an embargo?

THERE IS NOTHING HAPPENING TODAY.

The same people who brought you the great "10,000 Days" forums Greatest Hits, including...

"Aldaraia"
"Wait 'Til April Fools"
"It's All A Hoax"
"Systolic Heard It"
"New Single April 4th"
and
"This Time It's Not Doom"

have now brought you "12:01 April 13th." And it delivers in the same way every single other hit did.

GO TO SLEEP.

That Dutch duder is posting his review today. So something is happening. Just not at midnight.

[lachrymoIogy]

Keep us updated, when he does. (im not sure that's necessary though. nothing remains uncovered here long.)

See, that's what I mean. I don't understand why everyone's like "OMG MIDNIGHT THE EMBARGO IS OVER!!!!!"

Isn't a press embargo just something so they can't release reviews? Those interviews we've gotten this past wee are probably better than any review we are gonna read from here on out until we actually get the CD.

[Dirty_doris]

Well its 8.58pm here in NZ on April 13 so the days almost ova and guess what... no new reviews in AOETEAROA so i gess its up to the rest of the world to give us the fax lol

[Idiotica]

small world isn't it! watch the trickle become a flood ... i hope.

the anticipation is getting to me.

[Dirty_doris]

Haha yeah i was working at rebel sports and at uni all today and was expecting to have lots to come and see, however not to be. But im not bothered it will come... eventually

[Idiotica]

born 9/11 wow!

haven't been to rebel sport since they moved out to the base.

[Idiotica]

watching amp'd ? jono just read out the details for the new album - he said reading from a piece of paper 'i'd better get this right our i'll wake up with a horse head in my bed or something...'

no new info - stinkfist is playing now.

[Dirty_doris]

OH Fuck i missed it! o well stinkfist kicks arse!!! lol o yeah rebel is wicked now! um yeah 9/11 is kinda funny i thought lol but it was on NZ sept 12 so it didnt kill my bday lol.

Jono mite say something later

BTW he should have plenty to say when he gets info hes a big Tool fan and does say a bit on the rock bout them

Oh and one mre thing... That new Travis (from Blink182) reality show is why TV sucks now!!

[Idiotica]

gotta admit i'm trying hard to like it - s'pose it beats finding something better to do (like essays for 'tech, eeeep!)

[Dirty_doris]

Um yeah back to topic, sorry guys and girls, isnt there anything from aussie? the're way bigger then NZ and im sure we only ever get info from JJJ. Any TV shows or mags? I personally just want a large and totally legit review of the CD the rest is just side stuff that will slowly make its way out closer to the CD release.

if your taking the piss i actually ment some good reviews, not those crappy ones that just talk about the 5 year break and albem name and track list. I want to know excactly what when on in those listening sessions. Im surprised tht nothing leaked from the NZ listening sessions apart from Rip it up because the said there where contest winners in the room. You would think they wouldnt have held there toung would they?

[Idiotica]

contest winners would not keep to an embargo! seems odd. oh well. were those winners names published? lets hunt them down....

[Dirty_doris]

Yeah i wasnt awear of any type of contest. IF there was one it would have been on The Rock or C4 or juice, eather that or they are aussie contest winners... but weird how nobody has spoken out.

[Dirty_doris]

Although there are some hardcore underground rock mags avalible at places like tracs, maybe thats where the contest was placed

[Idiotica]

where is our dj andy friend now ? surely he can write us another review now the so-called 'embargo' is over.

[Descencia]

What is supposed to be revealed/released today in regards to the new album? It's noon here and there's nothing yet.

[ThIrdEyeCarrots46]

Nothing is "supposed" to happen today, it's just the day when the ebargo is lifted for people who got to listen to the album and review it before it's release.

embargo = dont say anything about this until whatever date

Hey i live in DC too. Ever been to one of George's partys? That guys nuts.

[Bogart]

Well nothing is for sure, but Tool is allowing the press to release details about the new album. But us Tool fans are hoping maybe the single will be streamed on the website, or that we will find out some juicy details that we don't know about.

[InertUniformity]

this whole embargo thing is baloney.

shouldnt we see some online reviews by now? SOMEWHERE on the internet we must be able to find them.

shouldnt the media have been looking forward to this date for a while now? wtf...

maybe its bs

[millermt]

Hey, that Dutch blogger was supposed to release his review today. Anyone remember that url?

[Nebel]

But he hasn't updated it yet, perhaps if we bug him enough, he will.

I left a message: "It's the 13th of April today", but in Dutch ofcourse.

[thejesus]

What was the source of this April 13th date anyway? Was it posted on toolband.com or something?

[TheRuleOfThree]

...

MOVE ON. NOTHING IS HAPPENING.

let them have fun, don't be such a buzz kill

[JuhaDeWolf]

Maybe with the 'embargo' over somebody may be able to answer this question.

This coming Monday, April 17th, I am leaving for Hawaii at 7 o'clock EST. Do you think I will have been able to hear the new single and/or download it by then?

[waffel]

The embargo is the 'mini-ban' they put on the reviews people wrote after the listening parties.

Duh.

[thejesus]

Does anybody even know where this April 13th date came from?

[orange.juice]

Andi King i believe.
