Oh God this is all a terrible embarrassment. Please forgive me everyone.

Tool do, however, rock supreme - as the whole world knows."
OMG THE ALBUM NAME IS EMBARGO!

THIS IS ONLY THE BEGINNING!!!!! Just imagine the chaos here when the album tracklisting is out and the title is revealed. Not to mention the 10 seconds after the release date is announced!

Knowing my luck it will all happen when I'm away. For example, this happened while I was away at school, whereas we got in 8 pages already by then. Wowsers

Embargo? Why would Tool have a listening session if the intent wasn't to review the album? Why would people be allowed to hear it? What's the point? I don't know... maybe this is just bullshit after all.

Of course he won't... he pretends to not even know what TDN is because he is trying to hide the fact that in actuallity it is his life.

You'd think with all this secrecy that they would have it better announced NOT to reveal any details.

I fully agree. I realize that shit happens but it happened presumably right away. Also, the lack of a Toolband update is making me wonder what is going on. I'm not a ToolArmy member but no-one seems to have news out of there either. Confirmation that this was indeed a mistake would clear it up for me otherwise this could just be another hoax, albeit more elaborate.

I think it's bullshit, and it's someone with way too much time on their hands. They know that us Tool fans are vulnerable at this point and alot will suck up anything "tool related" and accept it, but, not me, and I've noticed alot of you other ones...lets start the bullshit bandwagon. It's only believable when it is official.

I'd also like to add that not allowing the listeners to know the album title and song names makes no sense under this new light. If the listeners were not supposed to review it then why not tell them the titles?

It was also odd that we got the review before it was posted on their official site. Another thing, why is the review posted on a message board and not in some album review section? I don't get it.

Yup. But Total Rock are a joke in my eyes, now. I feel bad for the guy who reviewed them (if its true) because he seemed like a good guy and he had good intentions. But seriously...if you were TOOLs management would you let an internet "radio station" that was basically a phpbb forum listen to TOOLs record and/or interview them? I know I wouldnt. Amateurs.

I figured as much too, but I needed hope.

I figured as much too, but I needed hope.

It's all I got for the next 2 and a half months.

Take a look at the news section. Looks like Kabir thinks it's the real thing. That fact alone makes me think it's real.

I agree but if you think about it that review isn't too difficult to manufacture relatively fast. It's not too informative and there are no track names to think up. It could just be verbal diarrhea and it would only be a matter of typing out the bullshit. We have probably spent more time discussing his review than he spent typing it up.

All this affair is pretty stupid. Fifty journalists and they hope that nothing will leak? Especially after 5 years of waiting, with NO news from the band?

His new message :

"However Digideus is quite right - I would NEVER do anything to harm Tool and I have absolutely NO INTEREST in hoodwinking or defrauding Tool fans or - especially - of pissing off the Band, their Management and UK Record Company . I just wouldn't DO IT! Honestly.

It was ME who asked toolnavy.com to remove the review that was posted there, too. If I HAVE DONE WRONG - I try to own up and make amends promptly.

NEITHER would I purposefully contravene anything like an EMBARGO. That isn't my way of doing things either.

And I certainly don't NEED to come up with a PLOY to get people to read my posts!

I actually WISH I COULD turn around and say 'Fooled you all! It was all an elaborate hoax all along!'. That would be far easier than the embarrassing, humiliating and f@!# Godawful situation I am REALLY in. Indeed it could still be a viable way out of all this - protecting everyone's interests but it would be a blatant lie and therefore not a great idea, either.

Digideus raises a good question. DOES it seem a bit odd to have a two PRESS PLAYBACKS to, at a guess, FIFTY JOURNALISTS (very few of who can realistically be expected to join any county's Secret Service) without expecting something to appear in print - without making a few ground rules VERY CLEAR indeed?

Perhaps I missed the EMBARGO ANNOUNCEMENTS - although I only left the room once for a 30 second pee and I'm not generally that off the ball regarding important announcements. I AM getting a bit deaf in old age, however. Maybe that was it.

Still, I've taught myself a valuable lesson: If I ever organize an important secret playback - I'll make damn sure there are big f@!# EMBARGO SIGNS everywhere and I'll also ensure that bags are searched for smuggled recording equipment like they did at the Linkin Park playback hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha.

I'm really sad my relationship with the band must have been damaged so badly. I actually feel like I've unwittingly run over and killed one of the things I hold dearest in my life.

Oh well. we live and learn."
