He said it was emailed to him.

Andy King is a DJ for Total Rock.

First yahoo link.
I guess you should stop using google.

look at the time and date, this just happened..UK is 6 hours ahead of the US and it was posted a few hours ago

I got this email from a guy who back in november claimed to know info about the dvds, saying that he worked in the industry as an intern or something and that he wanted me to post some info regarding the new dvds because he couldnt get a TDN account for some reason.

So tonite, he IM'ed me asking me if i would post this review he found on some website that i needed to register to get into. I was too lazy to register, so i asked him to just copy and paste the info and send it to me via email. Apparenlty this was written by a DJ.

I'll try to get a link tomorrow when i talk to him again.

Man if this isn't true, thats fucking mean to dick with my emotions like that. I thought I remembered an update by blair about tool ringtones for the single, with maynard wanting all 11-odd minutes for the ringtone.

It also sounds like something some asshole would do to cover up the fact that his review is fake and doesn't know the track names or album title. So by it seeming its something that Tool would do its really helping him make his shitty review sound more legit.

here's a link to profile page for the guy who is credited at the top as having written the review:

Sounds okay if this is for real but the constant "sounds like Lateralus" sucks. Lateralus was nothing like Aenima and that was good. I was hoping this album would again be something completely different.

as far as credibility, i guess the dj is part of TotalRock so we can all bombard him with emails asking if this is real

apparently this DJ posted it on the toal rock forum which i was too lazy to register for

already done.

let's see when he replies ...

if it is fake, someone has wayyyyyyyy too much time on their hands. its very well written i guess. i dont really think a review can tell us what it will sound like when its finally released, but will only get us excited.

I'm sorry, but that was a very poorly written review. If you read it again, you'll notice he actually doesn't go into that much detail about the songs at all. The track lengths could have been made up by anyone. This sounds like complete bullshit. Either that, or the writer is absolutely horrible at the english language.

nvm..

lol at his profile: "I like setting things up, getting balls rolling. I like having ideas bounced off me and bouncing them off others. I actually rather like people!"

im gonna join the forum and see what I personally come up with

So, he had the stopwatch on all the tracks then?

Right.....

He's a DJ.
I'm not expecting much.
Especially considering the situation.

I KNEW the writing style seemed annoyingly familiar ... so I did a TDN search ...
Read andy king's PRE-REVIEW of lateralus here:

http://toolshed.down.net/articles/in...lrock.com.html
[He even uses NOODLY again, as an adjective.]

Yeah, I remember reading that garbage back in 2001 while I was drooling over every news nugget thrown my way.

Sorry, or, well, whatever .... but this seems like the real deal.

Remember, he is a DJ....

why is a stop watch not believable?

No, he's not actually. If you look at my last post in the PART ONE thread, you'll see that I linked to his professional profile. Officially, he's the Director of Marketing and Sales for TotalRock in London.

He's a DJ also. Sundays at 9PM.

Later.

okay, apparently this was really written by a TOTAL ROCK DJ....it was posted by a DJ who works for the Station...don't believe me? Sign up and find out urself

good find bro, i loved reading these reviews

i can't wait till the new ones pour in

Thanks for the post, BTW.

heres the link if u bother signing up

True, you have a point there. He's not a very good writer either way. This review could be his. It makes me interested in the album, which is always good.

this sounds totally legit thus far. fixing to read the other thread

The writing style is similar to the Lateralus review he did though this one seems more rushed which you could credit to just scribbling down notes as the songs played.

In any case this is the most believable thing we've had yet.

ohhh.. another forum.. not that credible

KUDOS! Being too lazy to sign up so I trust you.

Yeah, it reads like fastly copied down notes.

i guess i have no choice but to believe this...i did all the tracking and it links back to a post done by the DJ Himself who actually works for a REAL Radiostation...meaning if this is fake he would probably get in tons of shit

tyson, its posted by the Actual DJ...you know how people have titles to prove they are a part of TDN...like Discussion MOd..TDN supporter...well this guy is the actual DJ of an actual Radio Station called TOTAL ROCK....like i said if u dont believe me sign up and find out for yourself...this is legit

I think it's real, and I'm goddamn MAD excited.

On the other forum, fellow DJ's seem to have been anticipating this album preview, and Andy King's participation in it.

Seems legit.
Legit, legit, legit.

my honest opinion..... i think blair wrote it, it shows signs of his writing, i call b/s, but it is very detailed so who knows

lol, blair might just challenge you to a duel for that insult.

So why did he email you and noone else can find anything like this?

Actually, it reads almost nothing like something Blair would write.

I signed up and checked it out myself. The DJ himself made a topic saying he was going to be reviewing the album shortly then posted the review.

I'm pretty sure it's legit.

Did you even bother checking out the Links he provided?
