tracking is basic sound recording before overdubs and the usual "magic" that is created during mixing. in other words. this album isnt even close to being done.

my guess is mid-2014.

what's Facebook? ha ha. don't have FB. never have, never will. is it true there is a "like" button, but no "un-like" button? I would imagine TA is a better barometer of fan base but that's just a guess.

<t>can't speak for anyone but myself. but I still buy music and lots of it. not sure if you're aware but the casual tool fan has moved on.

<t>opiate is a rad EP. and was my first introduction to the band. so on<br/> one hand I'm excited but tempering my excitement with a big glass of reality. tool has lately become the band that constantly disappoints. tired ass old website themed to an album released in 1996, dated repetitive art work...

<t>the EP isnt out of print and the vinyl can be found at most music stores easily. would be a lot nicer to have an aenima vinyl reissue. or (shock) a 10K days vinyl... if this story is true. it sounds kinda lame. but Mackie does amazing work with the Melvin's special edition vinyl so who knows how ...

<t>Ravenpig February 5, 2013 at 6:12 pm <br/> <br/> I’m guessing Smithers said that about The Fragile because of its weak sales compared to The Downward Spiral.<br/> <br/> <br/> not referring to sales. think anticipation..... and expectations. which over time grow, so that nothing can ever meet sa...

not hating on the fragile. Just using that a reference point. TR himself said the record was all over the place and hurt by the super long time he spent working on it. I personally love the fragile.

Surprised there was no mention of the tool/RATM song (revolutionaries). not great by any means but interesting. I wonder if it was recorded around the time they were touring together.
