OMG I CAN'T WAIT FOR THE REAL ALBUM TO FINALLY BE RELEASED
I KNEW IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

i ordered it from amazon a month or so ago along with the US 10,000 days.

The status on it says it wont ship until th 19th.....wtf?

seriously.....im surprised no one has ANY legitimate information about this import yet....i mean anything.....even if it says the steroscopic lense warning in japanese....something!

i hope its not a 100% mirror of the us release.....give me a reason for spending $26 on this extra CD.

Gooseflesh!

Guys I was just joking I mean come on...I thought we all agreed that this album was the real one...I ordered it too but I really don't think this is anythign special...Unfortunalty Tool is now a riff band....not saying if this is bad or not but that what they have become...wth the exception of a few songs (who am I kidding there re only 5 songs on this album anyways and they go on for no apparent reason at all)

Sorry to get everyones hopes up I thought everyone already agreed that this was it....

Sorry again...

sometimes translations from japanese to english are downright entertaining....allow me to quote:

"when the numerous art work which is published to the booklet through those glasses is watched, the design springing out threely-dimensional, that is visible, we have become the special package which says, elaborated to unpleasant feeling."

yeah....i kinda skimmed through it and got a chuckle....my favorite part is "elaborated to unpleasant feeling."


anyways....that isnt the "import" thats the US release being sold in Japan....

Let the conspiracy theories commence.

DUN DUN DUN.....

right on. I mean, at least give me some hard proof that this Import is noting at all so I can lower my blood pressure a little bit.

protection?

I think I figured out where The Mars Volta's inspiration to lyrics comes from

to those people who think that the liner notes/ text will be in japanese, I highly doubt it. I bought some albums from Japanese artists [from Japan] and the songs on the back and in the liner notes were printed in english, they tend to keep most song titles in English, although the lyrics themselves are of course in Japanese.

There is nothing special about this pressing, other than it is made in Japan... The increased price is due to over seas shipping, thats all you are paying the extra money for. Nothing more, nothing less.

die.

alrighty.

I have already got my foreign cd. It`s the american one!
i feel ripped off:)

I got the Japanese import, it ate my dog :(

so theres nothing at all special about it?

well im in tokyo, japan now and i can verify that the japanese version has been released prior to this date. it was released on the 10th and there really isnt anything special about the japanese version except on the back of the cd in the bottom right coner there is some ads about the re-release of their previous materials with small icons of the other cds and that there is some japanese on the wrapping where the tool sticker was. the cd works out to be like nearly $25 so defently not worth the buy.

but if u dont believe im in japan, i took alot of pictures of the tool promotional stuff here so check out the links below. the tool promo stuff here looks damn cool and there was a sign in japanese nexted to the tool section that said *god has come back around, for the tool fans*.. or something along the lines of that

Haha! Hoobastank.

Are they rereleasing Salival? Mine has a scratch, and I wouldn't mind getting another copy without paying $100 for it.

Are you kidding?
I WISH I HAD a scratched copy!

good link...thats the news i sent in...:)

No new material? Good.

Because I absolutely hate it when bands add some so-so tracks on foreign discs to suck the money out of our wallets. And if these tracks are brilliant and fit the album, then the band would be foolish not to include 'em in the original version. We shouldn't have to pay extra to get the full experience.

And mocking The Mars Volta's lyrics? Spend some time on the interpretation subforum of thecomatorium.com and then tell me it's jibberish. It's all pretty abstract, layered and avant-garde, but at the core, it goes as deep as Maynard's work.

The monotone which is the only topic "from the previous production with redundancy being cancelled, there is a persuasive power in long shaku tune. Thickness of sound much improvement. The impression contrast of quiet and motion and the ogre air the extent which is approached of becoming dynamic and as for the drum skillfully reaching to apex. The 纏 ball as an album is not ratio of the previous production. Clearly from ラタララス masterpiece. Everything passing, you will hear, "

hahahaha

anyone have any information on the import yet? has anyone yet to get their hands on one in the US? (not in japan)

I'm still waiting for Amazon to ship me mine...

same here :(

god, you must live an awfully depressing life.

bump.

i thought it was pretty funny, and I'm a TMV fan

"5 years you say the preponderant sound which blows the long interval where lightly and throws!"

Srsly.

the hoobastank right next to tool makes me want to fly to tokyo and move it so the tool cds dont end up contaminated. hoobastank suck a turd.

lol

lol at ratararusu.

Once you've listened to it, you then have 1 week to make someone else listen to it or a freaky goth chick will crawl out of your CD player and kill you. In nasty ways!

haha.

reading some of the reviews this sounds like a pretty special CD:

"Before hearing sound, the air which is bought vanishes. Don't you think?"

"Furthermore, impact is received with the hand - the pleasure. "

anyone get theirs yet?
