That post didn't help much either, dude. and neither does this one

you can eat my shit


I'm not the only one here who has read 100,200,394,203,492,034,924 threads that claim to have new artwork, album titles, track titles, or some new information in general.... and HEY guess what!!!! it always turns out to be FUCKINN FAKKE!!

so eat my butthole...there are lots of ppl here who have waited a long time for REAL information (albeit we have most of it...but new info is always welcome) so EITHER be cool or go home.

Remember when Blair said something like "When the real artwork is leaked nobody will doubt it's legitamacy." (This was before his Xdays_mini post)... Well it's pretty hard to make fake artwork with an original picture of Maynard...

I don't know about these, the second one with Maynard in it is kind of fishy. He's got like, a random black smudge on his head.

I'm guessing that symbol is supposed to be the fold?

Does anyone have what the cover looks like too?

Really sweet stereoscopic effect :)

i know hhehe. neither this one.. i'm just bored.

lol, word

I am obligated to assume this is a hoax until more is posted. Because to be quite honest...as legit as these things look, there are better FAKE ARTWORK renditions in Ryans fake artwork gallery.

Cry us a river, will ya

gayest post ever

Do you really think so? I think that image with the mirror and the figure in the background is fantastic, and much better than anything else we've seen up to this point.

can you say "mohawk" ?

I think its a mohawk

It looks nothing like a mohawk, and we all know that Maynard doesn't have one.

i know i know, i guess this is the whole: "we wont know whats real till we have it in our hands" thing. but i just have seen far too many hoaxes in the past 6 months to believe that 2 pictures are from the NEW TOOL ALBUM.

i think we all must be skeptical at this point...

Well nevermind it does look like it could be a mohawk and they could have digitally placed it in but why, I have no idea.

This has to be real, unless there's a stereoscopic collection of Maynard with a mohawk randomly floating on the internet to use.

And what says that Maynard can't wear a wig? Lord knows he has before.

Maynard also does not have long flowing hair in APC. The boobs are real though.

It is a mohawk, and how the hell do you know what he does or doesn't have??? The guy has been wearing a hat in all of his recent pictures

^ lol ok you win.

Maybe that's why, to hide the mohawk.

fuck :D

is MJK holding a TV remote in that picture? weird... kinda reminds me of that new shirt...

The image needs to be larger, I can barely even tell it's Maynard except that it's a half bald really weird looking man.

I think hes holding a glass of wine... crossroads.. crosseyes...? THE HIDDEN TRUTH!

Yeah really. I've been skeptical myself lately, but it gets to a point where this kind of stuff pretty much has to start leaking. And we're at that point. Think about it, the album will be released in Australia in 17 days.

Do you guys have any idea of how long it will take to print the millions (ok, probably at least a million) of booklets that they'll need for the worldwide release? Even once it's all printed, it has to be sent to be packaged together with the jewel case and the CD itself. This stuff takes time.

Given these ideas and the fact that the picture with Maynard would be extremely hard to fake (although not entirely impossible), I'd say being skeptical at this point is a little overboard.

Hey, can you smell that? it's the new tool album! Everyone breathe the beautiful air and smell the new album on the horizon. It's a matter of weeks now, guys. DON'T YOU LOVE IT?!?!?!?! YEEEEAAHH!!!!

Wow, with all the talk about Adam and his current stereoscopic fetish, this fits the bill nicely! I'm really surprised at how well stereoscopic images work... kinda like those 3-D posters that you have to blur/cross your eyes to see.

All in all, I can't see these being anything but legit. I have a feeling that someone added the "black smudge mohawk" afterwards using photoshop (hence, no mohawk in his reflection.)

This thread delivers.

Just a heads up. I pulled out the booklet for the Parabola DVD. Throughout the booklet, there are similar flowers, just not as refined as the art in question. Design/Lo attributed to Mackie Osbourne (King Buzzo's wife).

actually that definitly is a glass of wine

I think that is too small for a glass of wine. Perhaps it is a glass of port... and that kind of looks like the empire state building in the background... a port in new york...

omg.... Tool is warning us about an impending terrorist attack on a port in new york. Good boy lassie...er, I mean, Maynard.

good fuckin call

the parabola DVD artwork is VERY SIMILAR to that flowery image...definitly weird.

also, look at the edge of the paper around the flowery image...wtf is that?


EDIT:

so if this is true what we have on our hands is a composition of artwork featuring BOTH adam grey and mackie osbourne...maybe k.willis too assuming he took the photo

the toolleak2 image is definitely a painting, not a photo. looks like kevin willis.

I bet the album is leaked before 4/17.

Well it is a dark-haired mohawk, and from that distance the picture was taken you really wouldn't see much of a dark mohawk against the black background in the mirror. And there is an image overlay of the woman on the mirror, so the mohawk would be underneath it, nullifying the argument that the mohawk isnt on top of the white areas of the woman.

yeah.
