“Rumor” of CD bundle having some kind of screen. Sounds cool, if true...

Interesting how it says 79 minutes of music for the CD and 89 for the mp3 download.

[halo eighteen]

yeah yeah, that's cool and everything. But I have literally no use for a CD in 2019.

Yeah, but what if It’s a limited edition video brochure with a 30+ page booklet?!

Hmmm.. looks like Maynard talking about the number 7 and the new album could relate to:

Or a white piece of paper with a matchstick on it like Rammstein did, lol.

@Kodiak33 - what do they say about the album title? Edit: never mind, found it. About ageing, etc.

Yep, not giving into your fear of things changing but using it as a motivator to learn and get better with life choices etc.

Vinyl hipsters can do this. Only thing Austin Powers did wrong was he put the CD upside down...

Praying the vinyl isn't insanely priced...it's going to be, isn't it.

Yes.

I’m hoping for four tiers

Digital Release (possible limited edition or preorder edition).
Barebones physical release I can afford.
Deluxe physical release I can’t afford.
Deluxe vinyl set I can’t afford.

Bonus track(s) or possibly access to the new studio recording of Opiate with the digital download version of the album. Speculation but maybe we'll know more on Wednesday.

From what I understand, we'll know today.

Basically what I’m thinking. As a vinyl collector that does have standards when it comes to money I spend and what I spend it on, I hope that the vinyl release isn’t too far out of my budget.

Fingers crossed. I easily didn’t pay $90 for the Once Upon A Time In Hollywood sndk but waited for the normal vinyl release at 40. Would I pay 90 for TOOL.....yes? I think so?

Adam talks about the artwork here, it’s called The Great Turn:

https://ibb.co/Ssc9PwN

Oh hell yes that's awesome, so excited now!

[botley]

I'll buy the vinyl, but there's no way it's going to be ready before Aug. 30... I'm betting on standard digital/CD releases around release day, then more deluxe versions to start shipping for Christmastime.

[october_midnight]

Yeah as I stated a few pages back, I can't recall a time within the last like 1-2 years that I've preordered an album and received it on release day...just assumed that was the accepted norm now.

[Erneuert]

Amazon doesn’t post things out earlier for arrival on release day anymore?

[october_midnight]

Oh they might for sure, but I've never got a record day-of. Video games, blu rays, etc. sure...could just be shit luck lol.

[pulse]

Port of Sound in Costa Mesa, CA., has the CD bundle available for preorder again at the time of this post. I am still going to hold off however.

Edit: 404ing now. If that's a small business shop, I bet they said, "Fuck this nonsense!" and just removed the listing. lol...

[Krazy]

I think NIN’s NTAE CD came a day before the release was supposed to happen... via Amazon? But yeah, doesn’t it make more sense to just send go to Best Buy the day of pick it up? Will probably call my local record store to see if they may have solid info.

[halo eighteen]

Best Buy stores still carry CDs? Their website doesn't.

[Piko]

The one here doesn't. Stopped almost a year ago.

[Krazy]

I’d have to check the BB by my house again, but last time I was there (earlier in the year) they still did.

EDIT: do record stores still have “midnight release parties”? Last time I was at one of them was for The Fragile lol.

[october_midnight]

None of the Canadian stores do anymore...hell, even the gaming/blu ray section in the few Vancouver locations is paltry. Sunrise Records is the place to go, but with Amazon/online...even that is the secondary option.

[gerbil]

Going even further here, I've got to hand it to them [Tool] for fighting tooth and nail over digital rights to their music. They did not compromise and they're all about to get fucking paid. Big time paid. And they have Sony/RCA holding their big dick while they swing that shit everywhere. Why is this important? After we get a the new album, there will be plenty of incentive to get another. It all makes sense. The music industry has changed drastically, but ironically they didn't compromise. They just made damn sure they were going to utilize the new industry to capitalize on their base, which for fucks sake, had clearly NOT diminished any at all in intensity. Good for them. They have all been fairly open that this is not the last album, well besides MJK, because he doesn't talk about any of that. But Adam, Danny and Justin all seem ready for more. So perhaps the next five years are going to be a rewarding experience from the past decade of nothing but the occasional tours. Perhaps we have a lot of new music on the horizon beyond just one more album. Perhaps...

I’m a broken record on this but I think the digital rights held up any new material more than anything else. I think at first there was an opposition to splitting up track orders—I remember Danny talking about that in 2006. But that was still pretty common back then. The Led Zeppelin remasters and The Mars Volta did similar things.

But you’re totally right. I’m glad they stuck to their guns.

Not gunna bitch around the bush about it...but...if this new album...after 13 fucking years...has a 5+ minute track like Viginti Tres...I WILL be a little annoyed.

Moving on.

So I'm not getting any sex tomorrow (hump day), but this will be THE FIRST GLIMPSE INTO THE NEW ALBUM'S SOUND, heard through a brand new song at that.

I'll allow it.

Also, that RADIO.COM picture is so cheesy, even for Tool. God... lol
