tool was involved a lawsuit which kept Adam's brother busy. apparently this slowed down the "creative process"

maynard threw a big birthday party which killed some more time.

danny carey had his first child.

tool also weren't sure if Schism and 46+2 have been played enough live. more tours to share these rare songs with the world!

some more time (research and development) went into creating a special tool-branded towel that was exclusively available for die-hard tool fans.

according to adam, a band member had a "really fucked up" medical issue which also delayed the process.

apparently Justin saw the cover of Sober by the band "Staind" (it's on youtube). this caused a 3 month long depressive state which halted any writing of the bass components of the new album

oh, and most importantly - some asshole douche recorded a VIP session which caused much stress and emotional hardship on all members, especially Adam, which further delayed the creative process of the new album.
Wow dude, thanks for the overview! I knew about some of the issues but not all of them.
