New Album update (of sorts)

I did my usual Toolarmy visit this morning, and noticed Blair had posted an update, which alludes to some progress on the new Tool album (and tacos):

I went over to the loft a couple of days ago to find Danny in great spirits about the week’s writing sessions. Things went so well, in fact, that Tool’s drummer funded a 12-pack of crunchy tacos from Taco Bell for Thursday’s band lunch. Evidently all were reinvigorated after taking a small break the previous week (Danny going to Hawaii while Justin’s relatives were visiting from England), and indeed, upon close inspection, the second Dry-Erase board reflected this progress. (Sorry, no photos.)

Good to hear things are going well!

*Load not loads. It says “Caution: Heavy load” amend that into the above statement when you think about it. Thank you, and this will be it from me for now.

^ Dude, if you’re not “judgmental” or picky about what you put in your body then you’re doing it wrong. You’re also in the minority.

Ah yes, you must be one of those do gooders that knows what is best for everyone.

Minority opinion as a bad thing? Even more proof you just follow trends and stick with the HERD. LOL…..good for you, you’re a well oied drone. You should be proud.

Other humans deciding for me what is “good” for me is the epitome of hell. Those that are convinced they “know” are the most dangerous creatures out there.

I think Taco Bell is crap.

However, the crunchy tacos and their nachos bellgrande are quite good.

“the HERD”? Wow, what an original thing to say. Next thing you’re probably gonna say is think for yourself and question authority. Dude, you’re a joke if someone not liking a particular shitty fast food chain upsets you this much. You probably shouldn’t leave the house if something so trivial makes you whine like a little bitch.

Taco Bell IS crap, but sometimes you just wanna grab some fast food. Jeez, stop making a big deal out of it.

What’s more important is the news that they are still writing. I have news from a source close to the band saying that the new album will be completed in May of 2024 and released by December of the same year. It’ll be here before you know it!

What is an original thing to say? Certainly not Taco Bell sucks.

But, really who gives a fuck what people eat or don’t eat. I certainly don’t.

@psych Ok…you’re much more dense than i thought. My response has nothing to do with my personal opinion or consumption of taco bell, but it does have something to do with you telling the world they are “doing it wrong” because they don’t have the same nutritional guidelines as you. I figured that makes you one of these socialist lunatics that thinks they know best and looks down on anyone that chooses to live differently than you. You know, the hypocrites that complain about smokers, but have no problem with leaf blowers shooting feces and toxic waste in the air… Read more »

“You know, the hypocrites that complain about smokers, but have no problem with leaf blowers shooting feces and toxic waste in the air for all to breathe.”

Ive encountered more rude smokers than leaf blowers, especially around families. So, cant really agree with that one.

“Disagree, our neighbour hood seems to be filled with people who leaf blow at ungodly hours.”
Thats unfortunate. Still, I havent had the chance to catch those commercials about the dangers of 2nd hand leafblowing.

By the time you read this I’ll probably be dead. I blew leafs for twenty… cough cough… twenty-seven years. I knew about the risks. I just didn’t believe they would happen to me. But, that all changed 3 years ago when I was diagnosed with… cough cough hack haaaccckk…. hmm ahh excuse… I discovered that I had developed toxic fecelitis from all the years I was leafblowing. I now have to live with the fact that my two children will grow up never knowing their father. All because I was just too DAMN arrogant to recognize the risks and stop.… Read more »

Taco Bell rocks after a long night of drinking. Of course you end up paying for it. At least one of those poor bastards had explosive diarrhea the next day.

As for the update, it is good news indeed. However, I find it hard to be positive when we still have no idea how close they are to hitting the studio. Writing has been seemingly going well for awhile. At least it is Tool news, rather than Puscifer or APC.

We don’t have Taco Bell. Or Wendy’s, Burger King, etc…
Tool was here about six (6) times to play a gig. And I am counting from 1993!
APC first album was ok. Puscifer? Whatever.
And Blair with his ‘I’m the only one who knows and the rest of you don’t’ attitude is Jerk Off number 1.
I don’t visit his site anymore.

As far as Leaf Blowers, its what they BLOW into the air that is awful for you, but people tend not to have a problem with it for the very fact that it isn’t a politicized issue with idiotic commercials about it. I took notice of how horrible this practice of blowing shit in the air truly is, yet NOBODY says anything, yet they will talk shit about fast food, smoking and any other thing that is perceived to be oh so terrible. I understand that fast food is weaponized and genetically modified frankenfood, but like someone said, we’re all… Read more »

Jesus, everyone here needs to take a chill pill You are not a member of a “HERD” just because you echo the sentiments of others. Keep in mind, there is seldom a truly original thought to be had. Secondly, it does not make you socialist to “know” what is best for others and enforce it with the law. It makes you authoritarian and fascist. Socialism would be my taking of your delicious yet colon clogging tacos and distributing them among the other tools here because their taste glands are far too inferior and they deserve satisfaction. Just because the extremes… Read more »
