Has anyone else noticed the face in the smoke of maynard's picture? Its right above the forearm of the woman in back looking down on her. I don't know if its just a coincidence or not but its still interesting.

Well! Now that you've pointed it out, I definitely see something there. An old man with a white moustache. Good find!

hmm iti s something but I don't know if it is necessarily a face

My dad had said something about an old man in Maynard's picture - but I had no idea what he was talking about. I still don't really see anything...maybe something vaguely face-shaped?

I still don't see it

I centered in on what looks like a head and shoulders of a man. Look at it in the album its much better quality.

hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm mmmmmmmmmmmmmm. I'm trying and trying and tying to see a man but i just can't. maybe i am trying to hard.

Nope, i can see what you're getting at but I reckon it's just the natural smoke formations. Like seeng things in clouds etc.

i tend to agree. looks like it's just smoke to me...

You could probably see anything when looking at the pictures in the book on LSD.

There is something clearly there. See it without the lenses, its easily visible.

looks like an eye to me.

nope

I think you guys are overanalyzing this whole thing.

Sounds like a good title for the whole opinion section of the website, with "this whole thing." being the band TOOL.

sorry i dont see anything except a wisp of smoke thats shaded differently then the smoke around it.

i think maybe your dad was talking about maynard himself

Interesting find.

i once saw a clowd that looked like the the air jordan logo

I see what appears to be a large nose.

I see smoke. In the smoke are the words "this is just smoke, nothing else, the longer you look for somthing here the more youll rationalize that there is somthing when, in reality, it's just some smoke."

its actually a message, a message of hope to those who choose to hear it, and a warning to those with too much time on their hands.

If you look at the book it becomes really obvious (just look at the right picture alone in good line really close). Its a man, and you can see his shoulders. It is not a mistake, it looks way too real to just be smoke formations.

?

could be a modified pic of Maynards mom.She's looking over his shoulder.

Take the picture thats here and outline the thing in paint. I'm still not seeing it, probably because its not there.

funny. i see a lot of skulls all through out the damned booklet.

i see smoke too, oh wait.. im supposed to see a face, nope sorry

there is a reason why i told u guys to look in the book

Which book??

i can't believe that some people actually believe themself what they are saying... it's just COINCIDENCE!!! never looked at the sky and played the game: say what you see??? my freind saw sometimes the wierdest things in clouds, just the same with the smoke... not try to convice other people what you see in smoke/clouds, it really isn't there

i can see a face too, but another face like the one you're pounting out, i see that all the smoke above the woman is a head, and i mean ALL the smoke, not a part, the nose starts in the middle of her arm 2 eyes to the left, the head has no hair and no mouth, but i see a moustach... but don't bother looking to see the same thing, cuz that's just WHAT I SEE IN THE SMOKE, not what you shall see... its what psychologist do when they show you that ink thing and let you tell what you see...


it's like listening to a song, if you heared something wrong on an album (i don't speak english normally) i keep singing it the wrong way, even if i know it's different, but i just keep hearing it, it's all i your head

i'm pretty sure if you see anything in the smoke its NOT meant to be... just coincidence... if there's a puzzle (if there is) than it has to be something with the objects of other things... besides, nobody ever thought about looking at the spiral things that you don't have to see with the glasses?

so please don't try to convince people that there's a head, i'm sure you'll see it, and if you tell other people they will see too sometimes, just because they expect it to be there...

I believe to see a skull

you re looking in the wrong place

I'm not saying I believe it was intentionally put there or not but when tool says there is a puzzle in their album artwork I think every little detail is fair game. There is a reason its called a puzzle. Yet some of you here flame us for over analyzing it.

All this arrogance has no place in a tool forum you act the exact opposite of what tool preaches. The music and art is left to be interpreted by the individual. Think for yourself and stop flaming people for discussing their experiences.

It looks like the dude from the pringles can.

i see ET...

lol haha you guys are all wrong...Rosette Feasted is the closest, but there is no skull. If you look for yourselves at the picture on the actual cd case, you will see a faint eye right above the right forearm of the lady in the back and above the "baby"ish looking cloud right above her forearem. Then if you look to the left, just left of the very tip of the building in the backround, there will be another eye, just barely being hidden by the curten as well. So, in the back, there is a face covered with smoke with two eye holes with the face being enlargened, i would imagine.

NOTE: you have to look through the eye pieces to magnify this, but it's as clear as day once you see it.

wow you people have entirely too much time on your hands.

I don't get how some people can believe there are hidden pictures in the smoke, but totally reject the idea that the riffs in the album are similar to previous stuff.

THANK ALL OF YOU SO MUCH! I'm gonna go look at it now! But you've all made me laugh so hard!! This is beautiful!! Comic relief after battling with submachine which is a bit like .... (pardon me) trying to catch smoke!!
No insult or injury intended...I wanna find Waldo and the guy from the Pringles can, and i'm gonna look til i find them!!
