Well I for one am sick of it, lets get things straight.
In the buildup to the release of Lateralus a little known site for the sharing and downloading of illegal music was formed called "Napster". Many people in the music industry were brickin' it trying to stop the sharing of illegal music due to concerns of media bankruptsy...and Tool was angry too.
So...Tool decided to trick the Napster downloaders by releasing the fake album title "Systema Encelphale".
Long story short, they protected themselves from Napster and also proved a point by pissing off the downloaders.

But with "10,000 Days" there was no problem about titles, artwork, or date, or anything for that matter. The fact that people are still in believe of a fake album being in our hands after 1 month of it being available are fools.

If anything you time wasters should be looking onward to the 6th of June when the dvd for "vicarious" is apparently being released complete with video for "10,000 days" and 4 live tracks!

Sorry for the rant but "think for yourself"
