The wait for details on the new album is long, and so far unsatisfying, and it appears that even with a tour on the horizon only the most optimistic of us expect some kind of deliverance in the coming days. Even a much hyped website update seemed to reveal little.
Instead, we can turn to mindless speculation. Today I pose the following question – would you prefer:
- An album containing only “normal” length Tool tracks (say around 5-8 minutes long each)
- An album containing fewer, but longer songs (for example 5 tracks that are all ~15 minutes long)
- A mix of track lengths, like most of their post-Undertow albums
Personally, I’m keen to see more longer songs on the album, and certainly much of the speculation so far seems to suggest that many, if not all of the tracks are lengthy in nature. Does this also suggest that a “single” is unlikely?
