sure its not a release date, but if iits not al lies, then its pretty exciting.

"...Danny is only taking a couple of days off from the band’s recording sessions, and, TRUST ME (trust me, TRUST ME!), all the TECHNICAL EXPERTISE, the POWERFUL BEATS, the COMPLEX TIME SIGNATURES and the INTRICACY OF CYMBAL (and electronic sample) WORK that TOOL fans have come to expect are being captured via the appropriate medium for you to attempt to assimilate, and, more importantly, to enjoy (that is, if you enjoy getting lost in a sonic labyrinth)! I know I have (even with the thread of Ariadne to guide me from the clutches of the Minotaur*), and it really gets strange when you move from one room in which the recording of a particular new TOOL (get the idea) song, or parts thereof, is being played (say, by a band member for a friend of his) and then, upon entering the adjoining room, a different song is being played by another band member on a different CD player (so that you can hear both simultaneously), well, that’s a bit much to assimilate, rhythmically speaking!

But, what I’m saying, drummers, in this writer’s opinion, although Danny continues to set the bar with his TOOL stuff… continues to push the envelope in experimenting with electronic samples (yep, he’s a few tricks up his sleeve for the new one), it sure is fun to watch him do his thing with Volto!"

Ok. Good to know he's still drumming for tool.

har.

What the fuck is so exiting about Blair telling us something we allready know?

You're such an ass.



I'd be interested in checking out Volto!, if I can get into those "instantly sold out show"s.

"*geMINI + TAURUS = MIN(O)TAUR (See: GenISIS)"

What's this?

and below it, 616 is right there like.. out of place. wich is wierd. but i noticed that stuff too.

"GenISIS"
I really should listen to Isis now.

616 is actually the new 666...

No, seriously:

A newly discovered fragment of the oldest surviving copy of the New Testament indicates that, as far as the Antichrist goes, theologians, scholars, heavy metal groups, and television evangelists have got the wrong number. Instead of 666, it's actually the far less ominous 616.

Think this means Tool will be dipping further into astronomy for the new album?

Seems possible

Isis is pretty pimp.

YES, i have heard this too, i think i saw a program on the history channel about the antichrist and how it relates to the roman church.....totally irrelevant

616

equals

June 16

ALBUM RELEASE

Goddamn.
I never thought of that!!!1!11!
You're a fucking genious.

Yeah, they're releasing the album in just over a month, and they haven't announced anything about it yet.

Hey, you're in NorCal. Represent.

i was kidding =]

Good.

I'm not kidding when I say Ms. Knightley is hott.

lol.

lol.

this is why i like you Khrondor
straight to the point, no time wasted on flaming

://IGNORE::#REST[of]{THREAD}//:

Did anyone else find the part about hearing two songs at once intersting? Is it a possibilty songs were crafted so that if you listen to two or more songs at the same time to get a new song? I don't even know how that would be possible, but given the band in question I wouldn't be surprised. And given the new intro page, with all the random intertwinded lines and things, it would follow suit.

TooL doesn't announce albums that long before they're released.

See:

Neurosis -Times of Grace

and it's sister:

Tribes of Neurot - Grace

"1999 release by this Neurosis side-project, intent on exploring the spiritual and philosophical concepts of Neurosis via the sonic and visual arts. This release is a companion to Neurosis' 'Times Of Grace' and is designed to be played simultaneously with it, creating a unique multi-dimensional sound experience."

I haven't gotten the ToN album yet because I don't have two cd players. I'd like to merge both of them (onto 1 cd) though if that can be done...

I really enjoy Isis minus the vocals.

I'm thinking they won't give much notice until very close to the release date to stop it from being leaked. I doubt June 16th though, that's not even a Tuesday.

There is also Zaireeka by the Flaming Lips. 4 cds meant to be listened to simultaneously.

They should include four free cd players...

Perhaps he *blair* was refering to June 16th of NEXT year? haha

Maybe he was refering to June 16th of TWO years from now. haha.

Riddle me this, young TDN'ers. Did Blair put up stupid little "clues" to Lateralus' release name? If so, was it even close to Lateralus?

Someone with too much time to lose should research this.

If it comes out before August, I will be shocked.

If we even know the album name or tracklist a month before release, I will be shocked. Artists these days complain about leaks and downloading, yet they continue to tell everything about the album months in advance. Keep it quiet, and I bet the new tool album won't leak until a few days before release.

I'm buying it regardless...

Ditto.

just quickly... do they find out who leaks the albums and shoot them?
did lateralus or aenima leak?

yes, like a faucet

Blair=Occult

there is a clue that will help u understand him little better.

Wasn't it System something?
