mastering doesn't seem like it should take very long. if this is true, then we can expect it to be done in a month or so...
now when they actually release it is a different story.

mastering is probably the longest part of putting together an album.. the recording is just a matter of getting a few good takes, while the mastering involves layering all the individual takes into whole songs.. i mean technically that's "mixing" but i'm pretty sure they are using mastering as a catch-all for the stuff that happens after the recording. just like everything after the filming of a movie is referred to as "post-production." and just like with movies, the post-production stage of music can take a lot longer than the recording, depending on a number of factors.
obviously tool are well known for taking a long time in the studio, so it might not apply to them as much as other bands, but just hearing "it's in the mastering stage" doesn't mean it's right around the corner.
then again, it would be pretty awesome of them to just drop it out of nowhere before the end of the year, after all these teases and hints that we might be waiting a while.

i was gonna say, i think that's the mixing stage.
though you might be right since it was only like 3 months ago or so when they were allegedly recording... if you're right that they're just generalizing, then yeah it'll take much longer. i was just assuming that they literally meant mastering.
i'm not in a rush though. they can take their time. i'm fine with it.
I think writing is that longest part of making an album for tool.

Looks like my hair-brained post might have had some threads of truth in it...
