God I hope so.
Because all these Alex Grey fanboi bastards who discovered their weiner, drugs, god, and Tool, 2 years after Laterauls came out are severly getting on my last nerve.
Tool reiterates to us to question authority, yet we believe everything Blair says even though the band has BLATANTLY lied to us in the past.
"But Mr., Mr.... they *SURELY* wouldn't do that again would they? I mean I paid a lot of my Nana's money to join Tool Army so I could be 1337 on several message boards"
Please give me a break. They just did. And better.

Have you ever read anything by Leary?
If you have, you wouldnt be saying that. And the insert in Ænima doesnt count.

Thats the only way the whole "multiple perspectives" and "look, it follows you!" thing could work. Perhaps we're looking at an indexed version of the colored hologram.
I mean
1.) Ænima - Lenticular Technology
2.) Lateralus - Transluscent Layering Transparencies
3.) ? - ?
(notice the lack of naming anything regarding this so-far-bullshit new album.)
Though I still think it would be lame to use Alex Grey again, for an album that was clearly stated to have different connotations than Lateralus.

Multiple artwork could be a very real possibility... anything could be a possibility. Sure we got the "official" word from BMB... but many are skeptical about it and are ranting, raving, and/or whining about it (not you glotch).
So yeah, this is the chaos we get when BMB finally gives up some new info.

Steroscopic images usually require two different snapshots from two different cameras aiming at the same focalpoint with some slight distance inbetween them. I really don't see the 3-D image here, I tried editing and duplicating the pic in photoshop but still no luck.

It simply means a smaller version of the album cover.
Examples: http://www.digitaldiaz.com/SaleItems/Images/pennyNOFX/album_mini.gif
http://alterbridge.com/eteam/artwork.html (Scroll down They specifically mention album mini's and this is an official band site.)
Case Closed.

EDIT: Ok, that was weird. I was trying to do a quick reply to the holograph thread and it ended up posting here. I'm guessing they merged the two?
Anyway, here's what I tried to post about the idea of a holographic cover:
That would definitely be cool if the head would "turn" to follow you. Maybe just have three different views: looking slightly left, centered, and slightly right.
Then maybe if you put it under a blacklight (or perhaps just did enough of your favorite hallucinogen) a "third eye" would appear on the forehead...

No, because you have no real solid evidence to support the hologram theory, so it's a rumor, hence its location now. The original title is misleading and gives the impression there is reason to believe a hologram will be the new art, thus the title was changed.

I guess it'll be alright to post this idea in here since it seems to have gone pretty far off topic and it's at least slightly related anyway...
I know this wouldn't work with a regular jewel case, but I think it'd be cool if they used the heat-reactant stuff like on the back of the Nirvana box set. Except, instead of doing the entire cover in it, just have certain portions like text or images that would react in that way. So when your ran your hand across it, images/text/whatever would appear. Of course, this may not even be possible. I'm not really sure how that stuff works. Maybe they could do something like that for the new book or DVD though.
This could possibly be the lamest idea ever, but it seemed pretty badass to me when I first thought of it.

It's the movie they took the dialogue out of for Third Eye on Salival. Insaaane movie!! Leary's face flashing in and out of fast-paced images alongside techno music and hypnotic phrases.

Re: Album Art alternatives
Stop bitching, it's not your place to say what the band should or shouldn't do. Live with it and shut up.

No. Not at all. I quite like him actually. THOUGH, I do have issues with representation AND how often many attribute his version with the end all be all of spirituality. All things considered, if Tool had Pee Wee Herman do the album art for Lateralus AND they chose him again, I'd be just as disappointed that they didnt explore further in light of all the discussion about digging deeper, etc.
