Why else would they preview descending all those years ago? Someone just posted some other Adam riffs that may be the segue before descending so who knows. Very similar in style. If it is I’ll be pumped cuz it sounded great. I think this is their same material just revisited with their renewed hunger to put it out.

Looking at it from a guitar perspective, the three tracks do feel connected. I’m thinking this could be their concept album. Sounds of waves on the beach? Sign me up.

I've posed this question online somewhere before, not on this forum (I think), but apologies if this is a repeat...

Does anyone recall anything like this:

Years ago, maybe 2 or 3 years after 10,000 Days was released, I remember reading an interview with Danny in which he was asked how long it would be until the next album was done, and his response was something like (and this is definitely not a direct quote, I'm just going by memory) "that depends on what we do, because we've had a concept we could use on an album, like our version of The Wall, and if we go that route, it will take longer." Needless to say, I was immediately intrigued by the possibility of a Tool concept album, but I've never heard this mentioned by anyone again, and whenever I've posed the question, no one has known about it.

This would seem to be the place to ask, so...does anyone know anything about this???

(FYI: I'm aware that we could consider some of their work "concept albums," but they haven't done one with a narrative (a la The Wall or Quadrophenia, what I would call a "Level 1 concept album"), which is what I believe Danny was referring to (I recall that he specifically mentioned The Wall as an example)).

But 7 artists accompanying 7 songs would be kind of cool.

Either way, the band mates have hyped up the packaging so I’m sure it’s going to be great. No signs of under promise and over deliver here. Everything has been all I could ever ask for so far.

Hopefully the unboxing video comes soon though I don't know how much they will give away? We may get to see that and still not actually know what is actually going to be running on the display.

Someone mentioned that was to tongue in cheek by Blair. Like, you know on YouTube there will be a million people posting their unboxing videos and at this point I’m believing that.
