Tool hasn't released an album in 5 years, Maynard goes touring with his other band that has not released a new album in 8 years.

Sounds very productive.

This arguement doesn't make sense, tool has been touring plenty lately and ~5 years is the norm. O_o

I was hoping for some kind of release of a DVD or complilation like before lateralus and 10k days...this worries me that nothing is in the works, but it's TOOL so they are probably spending more time on the decoy album this time around.

the 2 years of touring after a 1 year removed from the 10,000 Days touring is odd for Tool - yes

BUT the previous pace was 5 years. With Maynard touring all summer with APC, and Tool's tendancy to release albums in the spring, we will likely only see the album hit in spring 2012, IMO which makes it 6 years since the last one.

I'm saying they are not very productive when it comes to making new albums. 4 albums in like 19 years? Almost at a Massive Attack pace (5 albums in 20 years)

By the way, in may of this year, Lateralus will be 10 years old. This seems like as good a place as any to bring that up. It doesn't really seem like it has been around that long, but that's probably because there has only been one other release since then.

I listen to it more now than I did when it first came out, but that's just because it took some time for the band to sink in (Lateralus was the first cd of theirs I bought). Needless to say, they have sunk in quite deeply and left a mark.

When I first listened to Tool, they were nearly the only band I listened to and as such waiting for 10,000 Days was torture. Even during that wait, towards 2004 I started expanding significantly in what I listened to, growing year by year. Even still, waiting for this new one is like having my balls in a vice which I guess is a testament to Tool's importance to me. I remember there was a huge lull in my affection for them after the disappointment of 10K days and I wondered if I'd still care about them in five years time. I'm glad I still do.

still remember the day Lateralus came out.

I was in grade 12, walked over to my local HMV, got the CD, came back to school, smoked a joint with friends, listened to the CD on my discman (lol) and sat in the back of some class zoning out staring at the artwork for a long ass time.

That was a glorious time to be a Tool fan. 2001-2002, those couple of years was the band at the peak of their popularity IMO. Saw them twice in 2001, then went to see the band with about 15 friends the next summer, they were that big. Graduated from High School a few months prior, the Tool show was like a high school reunion.

I was in my friends 1970's Volvo the first time I heard The Grudge. I remember thinking that it was really strange music. I remarked,"This sounds like metal Pink Floyd." I arrogantly dismissed it a new music striving to be as good as the old. I really liked the packaging, but thought it was a gimmick to sell shitty new music.

Nope, I published that email on Fourtheye 3 months ago when it was originally posted. Tool are significantly further down the road of album writing now...

More than anything I hope the release doesn't overshoot the mark. Maynard's voice is still the topic of much debate every time they tour, and justifiably so because it can't stand up to the old songs. As much as I want to hear H. the way I think it's meant to be sung, I know I won't and I hope they don't try and pull out Maynard's aggressive voice anymore. His dulcet, subdued stuff like on Disposition, Intension, even the soft bridge in H., are all wonderful and suit Tool fine. Maynard's voice, the timbre and vibrato of it are still beautiful and I hope they focus on that instead of pushing "I don't mind" kind of moments out of him.

I feel like your opposite. Tool essentially was a gateway to more accomplished musicians and artists. Tool allowed me to give King Crimson a second chance after loathing my Dads obsession with them. Then from Crimson, I rediscovered my love for Primus and Pearl Jam... then evolved new found admiration for Zappa, Trey Anistasio, Buckethead, and a variety of others.

But of course, I wasn't playing any instruments before I started listening to Tool. So maybe thats the difference. I hadn't yet developed any musical pretentiousness yet.

Hmm.

I'm boring myself. Time for booze.

edit: also, I second Rubbs notion. New album definitely needs more dinosaurs. I AM A DINOSAUR!!! Somebody is diggin my bones!

Yeah I was on the Zappa early, and my band director had a little picture of him on his wall. He also liked me sometimes and encouraged to not go to college for music and just play on the streets, something I still don't have the balls for... Also, more dinosaurs would be a nice addition to all the esoteric stuff. Roarrrrrr!

Can anyone out there name a band which produced a "classic" 7th album? "Classic" is a subjective term I guess... My point is, I can't think of any band (with all its members over age 40) that has only ever had an upwards trajectory (by this I mean to say each album is considered "better" than the last). Having to outdo yourself every time you write an album has to get tiresome after a while.

A lot of people state 10 K Days is their best. Honestly, who can say what's better than what, it's just up to the individual. I just want some new music from them that i'll be listening to years from now just like their previous releases.

Of course, King Crimson had put out 7 albums in their first 5 years of existence... Tool has yet to release their 5th after almost 20 years.
