B works too. Seems like the curve is too tight to be a D?

Now I’m wondering if the next Toolband post from Blair will address any of this or will it be just another random post?

I am going to hedge a bet that WE Dream Design who just updated Danny's site has also been working on a new Tool site. At some point the Toolband url will start redirecting to a new one url or a new page at the url.

You could be right about the D xZ1mM3r

Tool's twitter just started what looks like a count down to the album cover and name reveal. Starts with Opiate and its release date.

It's on Instagram too, but where's the countdown? Not seeing it there or on Twitter.

I just meant that it seems to imply they are counting their albums down to the new one. I didn't think we'd see anything else today but perhaps we will.

I was hoping they'd release each album on streaming services as they announced it on social media. But I'm not seeing Opiate on Google play music at least. Who knows.

The Opiate "video" image was posted at about 8am PST. If they do one an album an hour, we might get something new at Noon PST. We will see what happens.

Someone mentioned on Reddit that 10000 days from the release of opiate is Saturday the 27th. I think that person is onto something.

I think people are way too obsessed with pseudo-numerology that Tool never could have planned for.

Wasn’t the first announcement for the August 30th date on May 8th? That was exactly 10000 days from the release of 72826.

- You like noisy music?
- Yes. The louder the better. Stops me from thinking.
- You don't like to think? What do you like?
- Never thought about it.

Next best guest is Friday (one album per day), even though Friday's are typically the day you dump news you don't want people to see.

Here is a version I brightened way more. There are a few more "letters" at the end I didnt see before. Also looks lower case possibly? Image

In all my half-shit posting I didn't realize I was counting wrong. Either way, ain't nothing coming today and Saturday makes no sense. Either this is not going to lead up to the new album chronologically, or there is going to be one per week, with the last week being the week we assume an album is coming out. There is no way info won't leak before then though.

Edit: I guess they could do one a day this week and drop info next Monday.

Maybe it's the opiate video incoming hence the opiate pic.

@ziggy23 That photo is amazing, great job if you did it.

At least we had a fun day with a few laughs on this thread.I do like history, be it medieval or ancient, it seems the album has a history related theme which i’m ok with.

Did anyone like that Chöd logo more than this new one?

Say they were to release the Opiate video Saturday(10,000 days after the Original release) how would they even go about it? I mean shit I picked up Salival on a Monday(was able to snag a day early) at my local record shop and the other videos they put out I believe were bought through Toolband but shipping would take awhile. Unless with your order you get the New Opiate and old album digitally right away and the video would come later.
