Why would the album release on Australian time?

Mostly because Australia (and other countries) are the first ones past the international date line. Spotify, et al are automated so that the music is turned on at midnight local time. Australia would in theory be one of the first to get the release.

That said, I expect the album will be available in one form or another before the switch gets flicked on streaming services.

I get that. But if Tool were doing a surprise release I would think they would release it at the same time across the world and I don't think that time would be chosen based on Australian time zones.

That's the surprise - Aussies get it first. In fact I'm listening right now.

Oh shit, Busty's friend was right.

It's up on Apple Music right now, along with their back catalog including Salival.

Not exactly news, but just read an interview with Kirk Hammett who said that he speaks to Adam a lot and last time they spoke Adam said he's finishing the artwork then they are good to go with the new album.

Whoop de fucking do!

Yeah, I read that last week as well. I'd be hopeful that most of the artwork was done in the last 12 months, and that the only things really done in the last month or so is just title and tracklist confirmation.

cool. hadnt heard about the artwork possibly being worked on for quite awhile. it makes sense though.

a surprise release wont happen. they still have a record contract and i super highly doubt they would be ok with a surprise! release..this is a big deal and its going to be promoted in advance so everyone knows and hype builds up etc etc. even if it wasnt tool/13 years i dont think record companies would like surprise releases with anything.

ive had my mind around getting the single a month before the album drops. it shortens the wait! 8-)

since Tool won a Grammy for best album packaging I guess AJ is gonna go crazy on that this time. Expect more delays.

I guess the only question apart from release date is what's gonna happen with digital release? They must have come to an agreement about that with their label otherwise they are both going to miss out on some serious cash.

The more time people have to consider buying something the less likely they are to buy the thing.

Kirk Hammett Says TOOL Is Working On Album Art For New Record

"Well, I talked to Adam Jones quite a bit, you know, and the last thing I knew, he was dealing with artwork, so that's great. If they're finishing the artwork, it must be close."

I wonder if they've thought about sending a cease and desist to the artist with the name "Tool" on Spotify. They're surely getting a healthy amount of plays from people looking for the actual Tool.
