Darkmoogle has brought to my attention a new Tool article. I’m not 100% sure, but it looks like it’s from a magazine called Rock Sound, presumably a British mag since it mentions the Download Festival. There’s a scan of the article below, but in case you don’t feel like squinting:
- It confirms that 10,000 Days is the name of the CD
- Tracks include “Rosetta Stoned”, “Lost Keys (Blame Hoffman)” and “Ten Thousand Days”
- Justin talks about the new sound that Joe Baressi has helped them create, essentially “he (Baressi) helped us achieve something we haven’t been able to up to now in terms of our sound” .
- Maynard talks about how he wanted to be completely finished with APC before moving onto Tool, and essentially apologises for the delay. He also talks about the lyrics on the new CD being political, but not in your face Green Day style.
- The article mentions they will also play a London date around the time of the Download Festival.
That’s a lot of info squeezed into a relatively small article. Those track names seem a little strange to me – starting to sound more like a stoner rock album than Tool…..
Edit No you’re not going blind, the article isn’t really below. Having some technical hitches with images at the moment, so I’ve added a comment with the contents of the article. Enjoy!
Maynard didn’t say all of the lyrics are political,…And I still think those tracks and that title are fake even if they said it in an interview. Other magazines claimed the fake ones before Lateralus were confirmed too. “Given Keenan’s pre-Tool career as an American solider, the album inevitably features a lyrical preoccupation with the much-debated intervention of Western forces in Iraq and the subsequent fallout, but the vocalist insisted that the new album will not see Tool climbing on to a political soapbox. “There’s not very much use for sloganeering when dealing with something as complicated as this, so… Read more »
Yeah, I kind of agree, I was happy to accept 10,000 Days as a title, but Rosetta Sotned and Lost Keys seem a little strange to me. I think something is going one, something strange…..
Rosetta stoned is retarded. Lost Keys is okay, but the (blame hoffman) sounds dumb as hell.
Very strange info. Not really sure what to make of it. Btw, I dont see any scan.
Rock Sound (UK Magazine) DEEPER THAN EVER New Tool Album to Push Things Even Further Forward Prog-metal pioneers Tool are gearing up to make their long-awaited return with their fourth full studio album, which is tentatively titled “Ten Thousand Days”. Due for release via Sony BMG on May 1, the 11 tracks featured represent the first new material to come from the LA quartet since 2001’s now legendary ‘Lateralus’, and herald a heavier direction for the band. Although the album was self-produced, Tool enlisted the recording know-how of Joe Baresi (Queens of the Stone Age, Melvins) to aid them, and… Read more »
Kabir says that a reliable source has confirmed the title:
[03/06/06] – Album Name Confirmed
Well so much for all the conspiracy theories. A reliable source confirms that the title is “10,000 Days.” There it is! (Those of you complaining that it “doesn’t sound like a Tool title” might want to refer back to other mathematically-themed names such as “Forty-Six & 2”, “4 Degrees”, “Parabola”, etc.) It is sounding more and more like the album will be out at the start of May.

Rosy on JJJ mentioned tonight that they had their locked room listen to the new album today but due to the heavy NDAs in play she couldnt say a word about it.
I have to say, some of you people make me sick with your distant attacks on eachother through this almost sexual keyboard fascination, but what really gets to me is the fact that these titles make you upset. They are getting a negative connotation simply from the connections you associate them with. What are we, four? I say only in america. WHAT THE F%$# IS WRONG WITH 10,000 DAYS?!?!?! IT”S A F*&^$%NG BUNCH OF LETTERS. The title could be “maynard shits on your chest tonight cause it feels nice” for all I care, but some are genuinely let down by… Read more »
Ok everyone, now it’s time for us all to apologise to voicefromspace for having an opinion.
On the count of 3…..
1, 2, 3….
I have listened to the album 10,000 days in it’s entirity. The tracks are as follows: (01) Vicarious (02) Jambi (03) Wings for Marie (Pt.1) (04) 10,000 Days (Wings Pt.2) (05) The Pot (06) Lipan Conjuring (07) Lost Keys (Blame Hoffman) (08) Rosetta Stoned (09) Intention (10) Right In Two (11) Viginti Tres. The entite album is excellent, guitars have been brought forward while the vocals are somewhat subdued, contrary to Lateralus. All four parts are given equal attention. A couple songs do have political themes, “Right In Two” especially, but they are not overt. Die hard Tool fans will… Read more »
