Yeah that's right, IF the artwork is being printed, it would make sense to reveal the title before it leaks and it's around the time now that the artwork is going to be printed. I wouldn't be surprised if the actual art leaks this week and tracklisting. It makes sense to reveal the title as it goes to printing and considering how much of a different title it is and it makes sense to reveal it now rather than have some leak tell you. Also, the title of Lateralus was also revealed in a short post on Toolband:

"1/28/01
The new TOOL album, to be released on April 17th 2001, is entitled LATERALUS."

What are you expecting? Some flash banner with artwork? (That would be cool actually..)

At first Blair made the mistake of posting that particular update two times, then he deleted the other. Maybe he didn't think about posting it on Toolband but after he did, many complained about the fact it wasn't a ToolArmy exclusive so he then decided to make it an exclusive for those complainers, considering it's already been leaked out so it wouldn't make a difference unless the casual-goer decides to go to Toolband and doesn't know about the title.

If it was fake, wouldn't he have removed it from ToolArmy as well as Toolband? If it is fake however, it will be removed from ToolArmy sometime this week or the title will continue to change like System Encephale, so we'll have to wait this week but your point still doesn't prove that it's fake.

Why wouldn't it be? That's what I don't get. You know, even if this is fake, I still like it. So what if it's more down to earth than the other titles? Does it have to be some weird mystic name like Aldaraia or Teleincision or something? Incase you hadn't noticed, Blair said the names for the new album are much more down-to-Earth this time.

So what if it sounds similar to Disturbed's "Ten Thousand Fists", there are two differences between Tool's album title that alone differentiate them both. For one, Tool's album is in numeric value and two, their title actually MEANS something. Just because you guys know doesn't mean it hasn't got a meaning or it's "nu-metally" because it most likely does, and it probably fits in with the theme of the album, yet you're all stubborn enough to believe so and start making stupid assumptions that the album is political when when we don't know a damn thing. Sure Danny talked about politics in the Kerrang! interview, does that mean the album is about politics? No! He just said he used it as fuel this time around to make a heavier more punishing record and that angst is there again.

If this was also fake, wouldn't have Blair went to the trouble of making up a tracklist to go with it too? Why would he reveal a fake title and NOT a fake tracklisting to set up a ruse with that too? That doesn't make sense either.

You're simply all in denial, you know NOTHING about this record, other than that it'll be heavier, their "blues record" and get it through some of your heads, it is NOT another Lateralus; don't go expecting something spiritual along the lines of it because you simply won't get it, if I learned something about Tool is that they never repeat themselves. Does that mean they won't create a more spiritual record in the future? No, it can be even more spiritual just don't expect another Lateralus, that's all I can say.

You need to stop being in denial and just face the facts, this has got a 95% chance of being true, it's far too late for a "System Encephale" ruse and if the 5% is true then I don't really mind, but it's far more logical believing in the 95% and start coming to terms with the title because if it is true, you're going to have to deal with it. I see some complain that they're not buying the record merely due to the title? I say, what is wrong with you? It's a title! If you're a true fan you have to learn to adapt to this title if it's real, you can keep on believing it's fake, I don't mind but if it's true you should learn to understand the title and it's apart of Tool's evolution.
