Also, This was from 13 months ago, Justin "confirmed" the new double album in the fall. This wait is fun....Happy May, happy Tool return to the NE!
"The moderator of TOOL's official web site recently visited the band's rehearsal loft and offered an update on the progress of their long-awaited new album. He wrote: "At this stage of the writing/arranging process... there are only a couple of 'shorter' songs left to complete (?), along with a segue or two or three." He added, "Of course, we need to keep in mind any changes that might be needed to accommodate the vocals, etc., once all of the arrangements are finished."

Seems like a no-brainer to me.
That would be really cool actually. At the very least, he can hopefully make it the San Bernardino show.
*And, speaking of Blair, I just noticed that the April Newsletter is up in the Newsletter section.
How dare they imply NXRM is anything but trustworthy???

I know right?! Don't they know I have feelings too? The Metal Sucks comments have been the best so far though.
It'll be old news soon enough, as the next rumor is just around the corner. The announcement of the Special Guest should be a welcome diversion as well.
Thanks for the support guys and gals!!! If you need me I'll be reading that Batman comic book I've been hearing so much about.

I think there's ground for a few lawsuits here

Nice job nxOrm, you delayed the next album by at least another 5 years.

On the fourth eye news page, Blair is defensive pointing to the "last sentence" of his fall update
But wasn't the below from Blair in April '16-
Metal Injection
"
It's funny looking back at our coverage of the long-anticipated new Tool album and seeing headlines like Maynard Says No New TOOL Album In 2013 and Drummer Danny Carey Says No New TOOL Album Until 2014, because it's 2016 and we still don't have an album.
Last month, frontman Maynard James Keenan said "we've found common ground, we just can't move forward," in regards to new music. What that means, I do not know. But I do know that earlier today, the moderator of Tool's website posted an update, saying he visited the band's rehearsal loft and they are approaching the end of recording the music aspect:

Seems the name of the new album will be Loch Ness

I never thought I would laugh at Tim Allen ever again. Thank you for that.
This was actually the first time in 25 years.

Well, looks like I may have misplaced it. Might have to drop in on Zime tomorrow night and see if I left it there.
