New Tool record end of year?

in "dear brother" he says "this glass i raise is heavy." shameless plug?

btw...

I hope people enjoy watching a live show they paid good money for through a 5" screen.

here's a good article on the recording of 10,000 days. there's some information on the mixing and mastering, too.

Once everyone was satisfied with the mixes, they flew to Portland, Maine, to master the project at Bob Ludwig's Gateway Mastering facility. Ludwig used the Pyramix Virtual Studio DAW and a state-of-the-art Sound Performance Laboratory analog console. Ludwig, Barresi and the band listened through 800-pound Eggleston Works Ivy Speakers that are actually seated down to bedrock.

Okay, so he's covered wine in his lyrics from other projects. But I want to hear an angry Tool song about making wine, and how it's such hard fucking work. Learn 2 harvest!

Also, that's a great article. I may have to try that sm57 taped to a condensor trick for vox. And Danny should have stuck to the Neve console for his drums.

that is a pretty good article. I much prefer the sound of aenina and lateralus to 10k days though. I thought I remembered they used an old mic that hitler had used though on 10,000 days.

holy fucking shit it's coming in June !!!!

April 1st was already, dude.

lol, this thread title (from 2012) could be accurate in 2015

Keenan also spoke to Rolling Stone about the "very tedious process" of putting together Tool's next record. The follow-up to 2006's 10,000 Days is expected to come out next year, though Keenan mentioned that his bandmates, who typically write the music before sending it to him, have a tendency to constantly revise and nitpick. "In some ways, they are bigger perfectionists," he said. "But you can only help support their talent so long. They don't have to go through it 700 times. They can trust that first thought. But that's their process, so you gotta let them do it."

Some in depth info on why the album is delayed for so long:

Initially, in 2007, a friend of Jones' claimed that he had created artwork for the group that he wanted credit. But the suit got complicated when an insurance company that Tool thought would defend it against lawsuits turned around and sued the band over technicalities regarding the case. The band then filed a countersuit to defend themselves against the insurer's claims and now, seven years later, Tool are still deeply mired in litigation with the insurer. The case is scheduled to go to trial in January.

 

"The whole thing is really depressing," Carey says. "The bad thing is it's really time consuming. As we've gotten older and our priorities have changed, it's hard to get the band on a good, solid schedule as it is. People have kids now. And there's lots of other things that pop up. To throw this into the mix, it makes everything that much worse and stresses people out."

 

"And it's costing millions and millions and millions of dollars to defend us," Jones adds. "And the fans are all going, 'We want a new Tool album. What the fuck?' And you don't want to pull people into your problems, because they don't understand.

The good news for fans is that, through the turmoil, Tool's musical songwriting core Jones, Carey and bassist Justin Chancellor has been slowly writing music. By the drummer's estimation, the trio has "gotten through the toughest part of writing," which is coming up with the raw musical ideas for songs. From there, they piece the songs together, send them to vocalist Maynard James Keenan and begin to refine them. "It's time-consuming that way, but it has worked really well for us," Carey says of the group's creative process. "It gets stressful at times when outside influences are dragging you down rather than pushing you forward."

 

So far, the process has yielded one song that Jones describes as "pretty much done." Carey says the yet-untitled track is at least 10 minutes, in which it "goes through lots of changes and it's got really heavy elements."

We're getting there.... One track at a time.

"I'm hoping that we have something really solid recorded by the end of the year," Carey says. "But we'll see how it goes. I thought that last year, too." He laughs.

cheeky bastid

Damn, crazy to think the gap between 10,000 Days and now has been two years longer than the one between Lateralus and 10,000 Days (mostly because it demonstrates how much faster time moves as you get older... feels like 10,000 Days was about 5 years ago).

Jesus fucking christ.

This album has been held up so many times, it's getting ridiculous.... Adam Jones recently spoke to Metal Hammer about the process so far, and the lawsuit battle they've been caught up in lately...

America is silly with all the litigiousness. The shit their insurance company thing is just so typical. You pay them for a service and when it's time to get some use for it they back out. Shameful. And of course the artist with the original lawsuit, what a douche.

I love how we'll be getting a new Aphex Twin album, and even a new Faith No More album, before Tool release something new.

Now that a nearly decade-long lawsuit that weighed on Tool has finally been settled and a previously undisclosed serious illness afflicting an unnamed band member has subsided the Lateralus crew is making serious progress on their much-anticipated, much-delayed follow-up to 2006's 10,000 Days. In a new interview with Yahoo! Music, Tool guitarist Adam Jones says the band have finished one track and that another 10 songs are in "various states of completion. The band hopes to finish their new LP by year's end.
