I still highly doubt it and this is my favorite band. They hardly ever stick to what they say.

yeah sure, whatever.

Digging: Supercell - Today is a Beautiful Day

I don't like this band as much as everyone else but a new record would be good.

Digging: The Dillinger Escape Plan - One of Us Is the Killer

Believe it when I see it....

Digging: The Dillinger Escape Plan - One of Us Is the Killer

I thought 10,000 days was a great album. just not as epic as Lateralus.

Digging: Polyenso - One Big Particular Loop

About fucking time!

"I don't like this band as much as everyone else but a new record would be good."

Pretty much where I'm at with Tool as well. I'm anticipating a new album cuz I know it'll have that one song (maybe two) that just blow you away. But IMO these guys cannot make an album I could listen to all the way through.

Tool

10,000 Days was a mixed bag. It had some great songs, but there was some ideas in say, Right in Two that felt ripped from older songs. It's been what, 6 years since they last came out with an album? I hope they've grown a lot more since then.

Liked 10,000 days as well, If this is true I'll probably cream my pants. For now at least I'll contain my semen for the drop of the album.

WHY DON'T YOU KIDS LIKE THE TOOL?

Digging: TesseracT - Altered State

the way this was written is retarded

I thought this news article was the perfect mix of informativeness and sarcasm.

OLD NEWS.

Did it take you three months to write this article, Glassjawx? Seems like you put a lot of effort into it. Lol.

Say tool again

Digging: Deafheaven - Sunbather

Seems to be news to some people. This is my first shot at any kind of article writing/review type thing, sounds a little awkward, I know.

oh-ver-ray-ted

Digging: Bad Rabbits - American Love

what a bunch of TOOLs

and this band is very glassjaw like but they actually release stuff so...

I hope this is true.

I like the band but for god's sake do something different on the next album...

Digging: The National - Trouble Will Find Me

They're just about to enter to the studio?! C'mon, I thought they already begun recording...

This may have been already been posted on Sputnik a while ago.

Regardless, I saw the video and read the articles about this months ago. Get with the program.

Digging: Queens of the Stone Age - ...Like Clockwork

I thought 10,000 Days was their best. taste it.

Digging: Portishead - Portishead

shut the fuck up and announce an album goddamn no one cares about these teensy updates.

Band is overrated as fuck. *Waits for hate*

You don't deserve hate for having an opinion.

Digging: 22 - Flux

I can haz Tool album?

"You don't deserve hate for having an opinion."

This is the correct mindset, but you'll see that it isn't one shared by most sputnik users. xD

People should read their own news articles before giving them a title

Digging: Calibre - Spill

shut the fuck up and announce an album goddamn no one cares about these teensy updates.

This band's fans are crazy. I have a few friends that will probably drop out of life for few months once this album drops
and live in their bedrooms with they're bongs listening to this on repeat until some St. Bernard rescue dogs find them and
drag them out to safety.

More like "Tool *Might Maybe Possibly Record Sometime Summer 2012"

Lol twelve so true

Digging: Galar - Skogskvad

this is the worst fucking news article in the history of sputnik, this guy might as well have been stroking it hard to tool as he wrote this

Something like that. It looks like I'm the only looking forward to this because Tool makes great music.

To the writer of this news article,

Do you know what the term "hoping" means?



Sincerely,

CaptainDooRight

Will care when the album drops, not holding my breathe for this.

Digging: Muse - Absolution

Tool is better than any band any of you turds post. Get over it.

Digging: Klaus Nomi - Klaus Nomi

Naysayers everywhere. I'm "hoping" that they release an album this year, that way we get a Tool release and a Deftones release in the same year. That would be downright sick.

Whenever it happens it's gonna rule.

Digging: This Will Destroy You - Young Mountain

That's the issue Glass your article is misleading. You said set to record but that's a false statement. I'm not questioning your
eagerness for a new release. You're being flamed because you need to fix the heading of your article. I'm sure your cool but
it's not rocket science.

Gotcha.

hahahaha this is literally the worst written article i've ever read on here

"Something like that. It looks like I'm the only looking forward to this because Tool makes great music."

don't get me wrong i'm looking forward to it, but jizzing over info that's been out for a while and writing 3 paragraphs acting like its some sort of conspiracy if they're going to release a new album is annoying

...oh and it's not an "artist spotlight" interview, it's a friggin' vic firth interview holy shit

Vic Firth's "Artist Spotlight" series. I tried making that edit, but for some reason it didn't fix.

I made my account today and saw that this news wasn't up on here, so I jumped right into writing an article. Made it as long as I felt comfortable with and hit submit.

he said himself "i'm HOPING" to get into the studio to start tracking in june or july, so this isn't really news, we all know there'll be a new tool album, why not just wait until there's set in stone facts about recording/release

"It's provocative. Gets the people goin'." - Blades of Glory (2007)

ugh

they need another 6 years to make something truely awesome.. im talkin AMAZING

Digging: The National - Trouble Will Find Me

I feel so old, I remember when Vicarious played on like every fucking radio station back when the album came out.

man schism played alll over much music back in the day, which was fine since that video is dope

yea the schism video was on all day rotation on mtv2. back when they played music, ya know. followed by an acoustic Staind song. haha

"This band's fans are crazy. I have a few friends that will probably drop out of life for few months once this album drops
and live in their bedrooms with they're bongs listening to this on repeat until some St. Bernard rescue dogs find them and

Nothing wrong with smoking to some tunes. Your use of they're is wrong. "their"

i'm sure he cares so much about his use of "their"

Digging: Hum - Downward Is Heavenward

are you ready for a new chapter in cognitive function

This can only be good news. Absolutely excited for this.

I'd rather them take their time rather than shit out an album.

i wouldn't believe anything that comes from the mouths of those pretentious fucks. The only source I would trust concerning new Tool would be someone rabidly anxious to make $$$$$, ie. their label.

Better bands take 2 maybe 3 years to make a cd why does a band that doesn't seem to change its style all that much take 6 years

Digging: GZA - Liquid Swords

Because, yo, Maynard isn't just a rocker.

He's too busy making movies, kicking ass in BJJ tournaments, and making the most topnotch wine in LA.

Not liking Tool, is like not liking sex.

Digging: The Dillinger Escape Plan - One of Us Is the Killer

awsoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooome

Like.

Digging: maudlin of the Well - Bath

Tool is planning something? OH GOD BETTER WET MY PANTS!!

Digging: Kalmah - Seventh Swamphony

overly longwinded article suits band completely

Digging: Still Corners - Strange Pleasures

"overly longwinded article suits band completely"

Lol. ^This is so true!

I thoroughly enjoyed reading that news article.

I learned to stop waiting, begin masturbating when it has an official release date (tracks recorded and everything), and jizz for an hour when listening the album. (followed by a couple of bong hits in order to not focus on the testicular pain that will follow.)

Doesn't bother me that they release a record every 5-6 years, at least they can live by doing their thing, whether it'd be wine or kickass psychedelic paintings. Also I'm soooo going to drum after this.

They can afford to take 6 years off between albums because they've made a shit load of money already.

Maybe they were smart enough to not get only 10% of album sales from their label

I just wasted a full minute of my life reading that piece of shit news article.

You people are just jealous because Tool would kick your fav band's ass any day.

Oh my god I think I just got totally trolled.

I wonder how many tracks will be pure silence or whale song on this one.

@ gabriels - no, just your typical tool fan writing about potential studio dates like its the biggest thing since printed text

I think they get better with each new album. Definitely looking forward to this. I have been to around 90 concerts in my life so far and Tool on the 10,000 Days tour was one of my top 5.

Meh this band grew old

This will be the greatest album ever after meteora thumbs up if u argee!!!!111

tool freaks will be tool freaks

How the hell does anyone have an opinion about the writing of a music news article?

The internet is a bastard for making everyone think their voice matters, you twats

lies

twats will be twats

McLovin! NICE!

all the members of tool are involved in many other bands/projects. most bands that put out album after album frequently are not heavily involved in other projects. i wish tool worked faster but they have busy lives and when they do finally put out a product, it is a very well conceived and polished one. take all the time they want, as long as it happens eventually. theres other music in the meantime.

Dear Christ the Tool fanboyism is getting painful.

That aside, whatever. I liked Lateralus, Undertow, and 10,000 Days but like most people have said I'm not going to bother getting my hopes up until some actual information drops.

And who gives a shit about how the news article is written? Seems the fun thing to do on news articles is to talk about how shit it's written rather than talk about, you know, THE FUCKING ARTICLE.

I've been hurt too many times to believe this news

huggles coming your way sowing

believe it when I hear it

Digging: Deafheaven - Sunbather

I won't believe this album exists until I hear it with my own ears.

This is the new Chinese Democracy.

nah, Maynard just seems to think his winery or his side project is more important than Tool at the moment.

Horribly written news article

finally.

Digging: Strawberry Girls - French Ghetto

It is funny how every Tool related thread gets infested by idiots eager to post as many "fanboys" and "Tool sucks" comments as possible.

"I'd rather them take their time rather than shit out an album."

As if they have been working on the album for the past couple years...... they just started working on it recently so unless it takes another 6 years... they probably are just going to shit this one out.

I kinda thought they were done, so I'll gladly welcome another album.

"oh-ver-ray-ted"

So much agree.

I hope this occurs.

I also hope this occurs.

is the name of the album: summer 2012? reads like the ramblings of a madman

Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

hmmmm

I hear the name of this album is gonna be called Detox

who cares, boring prog

still waiting...

isnt gonna happen unless they 'king of limbs' us
