What are your thoughts on Tool producing their own album? On the image of the audio reels that was posted on Adam's site a while back (which has subsequently been removed), the label on the reel cases reads Producer: Tool.

It has been confirmed that Joe Baressi is engineering their album, but I'm quite certain that Tool are producing it. Is this what's slowing them down?

Could be.. but I'm pretty sure the albums done now, they're doing the artwork and stuff now.

Yeah, I think Tool are done recording aswell, and are just on the small(well, maybe more in-depth for them) things like cover artwork, etc..

Who cares about cover art, we're all going to download the leak and then buy it off iTunes anyway.

Never!! :angry: :eek:

Digital music is taking over.

I already burned all my CDs (no pun intended).

Really? I haven't, I still buy cds on a regular bassis, and only have a few burnt ones. I wouldn't even think about downloading Tool... the artwork and themes is one of things I love about them. :p

*slaps forehead*

There are more than a few people in this thread who should know I'm being very sarcastic. :) I'm a big propenant of buying CDs (not for legal issues, but because I love getting the artwork, etc.)

I downloaded lateralus about 2 days after the leak, And im gonna do it again. Than buy the Cd.

Im really excited about this DVD release though.

Didn't detect that.. How was I suppost to know you buy CDs? Theres few of us left..

Nah, I've just talked about the subject quite a few times in this thread. I was going to see if anyone picked up on it, that's all.

No more David Bottrill producing?

i read yesterday an interview with trent reznor and his opinion about emule, iTunes, etc. He said that first of all music i overpriced (the cds) and the other problem is that in most cases (he said especially in the case of hip-hop) you buy a single for the price of an album... in most cases you will find 1-3good songs and the rest is ****.
Thats the reason why most ppl don't buy cds anymore... and thats the case why i listen to nin, opeth, tool cause its worth the money :thumb:

I usually buy CD's. I would so much rather just sit down, put on a good pair of headphones, and listen to an album all the way though, than waltz around listening to singles on an iPod.

But of course, when free music is thrown right in front of me (like that goddamn YSI thread) it's incredibly hard to resist.

:lol:

Agreed

Or you could trade and get albums for free...

it depends heavily on the band.
i can't resist the YSI mailing-list too, but when there is a band i really like i buy the cds...

f.e.: i've got more major nin-releases than official, but i still don't have the original of TDS, B and PHM... i am collector in this case and will buy all of his major releases someday.

What?.. Everyone I've known have started buying more and more cd's since they started downloading

I don't know anyone who prefers digital music to owning the album

I need to buy several, several cd's here nowadays. All that piracy deserves a hard copy with some pretty art.

anyone was at that chat at toolband?

I do, for example... everyone at my school except my group of friends.

If he is producing it, it sure has been kept a secret. Like I said, the audio reel labels clearly list Tool as the producer...curious.

Hey everyone... I was wondering if anyone could post the mp3 of Sober... It disappeared from my computer for some reason, and I have no access to downloading software. If anyone could, it'd be greatly appreciated.

I can send you the song via email, just post your email and ill send it there.

Awesome... [email]SMasterFlex12@aol.com[/email] (Don't ask. :P) Thanks, man!

No problem man, will be ready in a second.

Robert Smith is a brilliant songwriter and singer.. ah I just love the Cure

Where have you seen them?

i listened to 2songs by Megadeth -> Dread and The Fugitive, Tornado of Souls.
the guitar work is fantastic, the vocals disgusting :upset:

Mustaine's voice isn't something that jumps out at you at first. I think it took a live video I have of them playing Hangar 18 that made me enjoy the vocals.

I completely agree with everything Trent Reznor said about the CD buying stuff. If a CD is worth it to me, I'll pay the money.
