TOOL: New Album Title Revealed?
According to a posting on TOOL's official web site, Toolband.com, TOOL's new album will be titled "10,000 Days". An early May release is expected.
In a recent interview with Britain's Kerrang! magazine (web site), the members of TOOL spoke about the 77-minute, 11-song prog-metal odyssey, which is said to be packed with plenty of eight minute-plus twisted riff-a-thons, odd-tempo polyrhythms and the band's trademark, eerie interludes.
"We've all been listening to a lot of MESHUGGAH," admitted guitarist Adam Jones. "I see a lot of them in us and us in them, and they really have a very experimental prog side to them. I don't think it was like, 'Okay, right here were going to play like MESHUGGAH,' but more, 'Oh my God, that's come out a MESHUGGAH moment.'"
"We have the most retarded President we've ever had, and we're frustrated and that's the reason it's a little heavier this time," drummer Danny Carey told Kerrang! "That level of frustration back like when we first got the band together: we were products of that fucking Reagan thing, we were pissed off and bummed out, we had that angst, and now it's coming forth again: like it or not, we're products of our environment. We're pissed off again."
"I think for me, and this is just personally, the last few years have really been crushing," singer Maynard James Keenan told Kerrang! "For me, as an artist, I needed to see on some level if speaking my mind would actually inspire people — you see the sky falling and you feel like you've got to say something. I think of prior TOOL albums 'AEnema' and 'Lateralus', lyrically, I had this idea of trying to share things and push some kind of higher purpose — enlightenment, this global consciousness thing — and everything that's going on nowadays has kind of left me a little disappointed, a little bummed.
"So I think on this album I've talked more about my personal stuff, things that I needed to get off my chest," he added. "It's a little cynical and it's almost like coming from a sad place. There's some hope in it, but it's more back to rock and roll basics, just expressing some very big sadness that's from the gut."
"This is our blues record, were singing the blues!" joked Carey.
"The difference is before, we had that young spunk and we thought we could actually say something and help people realize these things" continued Keenan. "But now, the anger is more of a frustrated anger, and me sitting back and going, 'Okay, I'm going to shut up now, I'm going to stop ranting and trying to be chicken little telling you that the sky is falling, I'm going to just let you guys get hit in the head.'"

i am too!
i can't wait to hear maynard's personal sadness!
plus you know, i can really feel that frustration they're talking about. and i'm too young to really remember the reagan years too clearly (the first election i remember is bush vs. dukakis) but i think lots of people are feeling it. almost hopelessness. i went to this peak oil meeting yesterday morning, and there was a part of me that was just like, fuck, do i even want to know? usually i'd consider something like that to be a copout, and almost irrespsonsible, but i have trouble holding it all, when there seems to be no end in sight of the sky falling.

May 2nd, people. You better bring $30 so you can buy Pearl Jam's new one while you're there as they both come out the same day.

Re: For U Tool Fans -- rdtwo, 08:46:07 03/14/06 Tue [1]
wow. maynard does actually speak to people
who reside on this planet. ;)(blame hofmann)
sounds familiar?. i think hofmann was some kind
of drug lord or something. this undoubtly will
be another fine tool record. how those 4 cats
happened to meet each other/sharing the same
philosophies/put it all into music and words
is acutally, quite amazing.

I'm pretty sure these are actually legit. Blair (on toolband) said they were sending the stuff off to the printer, so it was going to get leaked anyway, so they decided to just go ahead and officially release the track names.
Here are some possible descriptions of the tracks (if true, they sound cool as hell):

And RD2 - you're thinking of Dr. Albert Hofmann, the guy who invented LSD.
I immediately thought of him when I saw that name, too.
