Not sure anyone has any realistic expectations that there will be new material at the festival shows.

Awesome! Can we please not shoot down a new tune Live already. I’d at least like some hope for it!

It's pretty short, and I didn't like the political undertones

A hundred bucks says they blame Trump for everything on this confounded new fangled album thing.

But I for one won't be phased.

Stick to your guns - is what my math teacher used to tell me.

I've been waiting 12 years for a release date. Awesome news theyre posting that recording is starting but ill contain my excitement til I hear it's completed.

At this point I hope they don't play anything new live (I sincerely doubt they will) anytime ive been in attendance for a new song from a band, its always a little bit flat for me.

It is a DVD emoji:

Not sure if much can be read into it.

Personally I don't think there will be any obviously political lyrics on the album, aside from the odd calling the kettle black or monkey reference.

well the emoji database just shows a disc without the letters "dvd" below it.
so adam might have just picked an emoji that looks like a disc without knowing that it was a DVD

Does not say DVD on my PC screen. Fact is, CDs are outdated, and the emoji for it is probably buried at the end of the list. That said, the CD emoji for twitter is identical to what he posted, however it is silver. I agree with Hellboy and Lucas, he just picked an image that looks like a disc. Nothing to read into.

Brick walls... evil Joe's studio in Pasadena maybe

Good catch on the bricks. I agree.

We're living in good times. I've always wondered how it feels when Tool is about to release a new album. Feels good.

Post by **xZ1mM3r** » Tue Mar 06, 2018 8:54 am

How does the recording process work for Tool?? Looks like they are in the studio this week... is it just the 3 guys? They officially record music then send it to MJK for vocals to be added? I know they go through a period where they alter the music to match maynards lyrics... would that step already have happened prior to the studio? Anyone know?

Ravenpig · Post by **Ravenpig** » Tue Mar 06, 2018 9:51 am

Adam said last month that May Jay is with them for 3 weeks this month.

And how the fuck do some of you all know what the fucking wall at this dude’s place looks like??

joeypants · Post by **joeypants** » Tue Mar 06, 2018 9:54 am

That room looks too big to be the drum/tracking room at JHOC (Joe's House of Compression). Could be though, who knows.

Regarding their recording process, it typically goes: drums first, then bass, followed by guitar, vocals at the end. I'm sure there are variations in this for a band with resources like Tool has. But the drum tracks will all be laid down first for the most part, with the other two playing along while he tracks it.

joeypants · Post by **joeypants** » Tue Mar 06, 2018 9:54 am

Then again... more bands are tracking things "live" now. Intronaut did their last album (and the Cloudkicker "Live" album) this way.

greasy · Post by **greasy** » Tue Mar 06, 2018 10:09 am

I agree with Joeypants on both counts. It looks like the rehearsal room at Joes, not the drum room. If that's the case, they may be recording some parts of the album 'live' with all 4 at once.
