A couple of Instagram posts today with visitors to the Loft claiming they’ve had a live run through of the new Tool album (albeit without Maynard‘s vocals). Word seems to be that the album is instrumentally finished, but still waiting on Maynard’s additions (which is more or less what Adam indicated last week). Yes it is true… the new Tool record is insane… (vocals still in progress) and the world… Read More »Tool demo new material for Loft visitors
It’s time for another weekly update from our irregular schedule. I’ve skipped the last few, due to the relative frequency of Tool news lately, with both Adam and Danny indicating in recent weeks that things are happening. I’m sure you’ve all read that before – let’s wait until they actually confirm hitting the studio before getting too excited. Anyway, in this weeks issue: Justin plays some riffs at NAMM Danny… Read More »Fourtheye Weekly Update 29-Jan-2018
Adam undertook some more Instagram live streaming yesterday, and while it wasn’t some live cuts from the Loft, it did include a comment that the “Music is done. Lyrics are coming in hard“. Great news that the new Tool album seems to be on the home stretch. Danny also spoke with Overdrive about the new Legends of the Seagullmen album, and once more suggested that things were happening in Tool-land:… Read More »Adam confirms new Tool album is moving towards completion
Tool must have been rehearsing today, and guitar player Adam Jones decided to live stream them tearing through The Grudge on Instagram. For your listening pleasure:
In a recent interview with Kerrang magazine, Danny Carey spoke about Legends of the Seagullmen as well as a slightly more in depth update on the new Tool album. There are no particularly insightful revelations, and Danny does joke around with 2018 and 2019 a bit, which suggest to me maybe he’s not super confident of it being this year (though he does go on to reaffirm it will be… Read More »Danny speaks with Kerrang
Yesterday I dropped the Fourtheye Readers Top 10, now today I present my own top 10 albums on 2017. The list is presented loosely in order. Overall I thought it was a pretty solid year for albums, with a few newer bands I’d been keeping my eyes on releasing some excellent albums. There seems to be a few less older or nostalgia acts releasing albums these days, so probably many… Read More »Hellboy’s Top 10 Albums of 2017
The results are in for the Fourtheye Readers Top 10 Albums of 2017. The poll didn’t get a huge amount of entries this year (partially my fault, since I didn’t push it too hard) but also a reflection of lower traffic these days on Fourtheye (I think partly to to many now consuming Tool news via various Social Media channels rather than older style websites). Anyway, without further delay, here… Read More »Fourtheye Readers Top 10 Albums of 2017
The lineup for Coachella 2018 was announced today, and included on the diverse lineup is A Perfect Circle. They join the Sunday list, which also includes Portugal The Man, ODESZA, Kasmai Washington, Vance Joy and some white rapper best not mentioned. Coachella takes place over two weekends in April.
A Perfect Circle have released another track from their yet unnamed new album, this one called Disillusioned. Take a listen and let me know what you think in the comments below. I’m expecting the reaction will be as mixed as those to The Last Jedi… Should you feel the need to purchase this track on vinyl (with The Doomed) then you can pre-order it here.
Time flies very quickly these days, so much so that I forgot to create a Fourtheye Best Albums of 2017 poll a little earlier. Well, without further ado: here it is! Here’s a list of stuff I’ve enjoyed so far this year, in case you’re stuck for ideas: Sepultura – Machine Messiah Code Orange – Forever Uniform – Wake In Fright Frank Carter & The Rattlesnakes – Modern Ruin Priests… Read More »Fourtheye Best Albums of 2017 Poll
