As Blair hinted at in the January 2017 newsletter, he has also updated the one from September 2016. Â For those with short memories, September 2016 was the infamous “positive thinking” one. Â Blair mentions recent interviews with Justin, Danny’s appearance on the Seth Meyers show and even Adam at recent VIP outings as good evidence that the next Tool album is indeed a thing.
I doubt this is changing anyone’s mind though – I don’t expect that any of the skeptics are going to change their mind. Â I for one am content to wait for whatever may come. Â I’m obviously a huge Tool fan, but life is not so empty that a lack of Tool albums becomes an object of scorn or hate.
Instead I look forward to seeing Puscifer here in Adelaide in a couple of nights time (there’s even a free wine tasting in town before hand).  I’ll continue to enjoy the large number of quality releases from other artists.  Code Orange may have already released an album I might have on my top 10 of 2017 (we’ll see in 12 months time I guess!)
