It's official. The band has been playing two new songs at the last couple of shows they've played at the beginning of this tour.
I know a lot of people won't believe it, as TOOL has been dropping hints over the last 13 years, but, last month band members were pictured at the mixing studio in Maine, then at the last two shows, before the encore "TOOL August 30th" flashed on video screens, and then during the encore Maynard was telling the audience to be sure to share that date on social media and after the show TOOL's official Twitter account also put out the August 30th date (I hate the word 'tweeted').
I got a feeling people are really going to destroy this album. It's a lot of 'pressure', people have been waiting for 13 years and in that time they've become cranky, jaded and bitter. If you bring up the band's name they'll spit scathing vitriol about them never going to complete the album or it not even a thought of the band, whose members have their time outside of TOOL filled with all kinds of other 'art' that they create.
I"m sure I'm going to love it. I've heard the new tracks that were posted from live shows and well they are TOOL sounding tunes, they've not done an abrupt change of style, it would appear 13 years later they are picking up where they left off, creating mind blowing music.
I can't wait!
