New TOOL

Now we just have to hope that Amazon doesn't over promise and under deliver. They have a habit of going "Oops, we sold too many preorders, some people will unfortunately not be getting a copy"
I just ordered it yesterday, when it still showed as available on Amazon, so hopefully I will get a copy. But, like you said, one never knows with Amazon.

I ordered it on Amazon the other day and the price did drop from $45 to $37. Pretty cool.Audio: Polk S15 * Polk S35 * Polk S10 * SVS SB-1000 Pro

Tracklist came out. Kind of a bummer that the cd version isn't the full experience. Three segue tracks will be included in the download, but not the CD. If length is the issue I would have preferred a double disc. Maybe the songs have enough built in passages themselves to cleanse the palette, but those are typically pretty helpful with Tool cd's.Pro-ject 2 Experience SB, OPPO BDP-103, Marantz SR5011, Lounge LCR MKIII, McCormack DNA-HT5, Polk LSiM705, Polk LSiM706C, Polk LSiM702, SVS SB16-Ultra

Yeah I've heard of their vineyard. One of my favorite places to go for a weekend escape is a couple minutes south of Jerome. Just funny to me seeing a small town in my home state as the location of their release party.
It is purdy up there though.Just a dude doing dude-ly things

I know that when I skimmed through the reviews posted earlier, the reviewers only got to hear the CD version. That makes me think the material left off is more of a "director's cut" vs cutting down the album just for time. I'm still not really clear if those extra tracks are hitting streaming or not.Tracklist came out. Kind of a bummer that the cd version isn't the full experience.

I graduated in ‘92 but I remember Riki and the Headbangers Ball (theme song by Prong!). I discovered Alice In Chains on that show. Went out and bought the cassette tape the next day at Rolling Stones records in Norridge Illinois.
I loved the stop motion videos by tool. Totally bad a s s. Adam Jones worked for Rick Lazzarini’s Creature Shop before leaving to play music full time (I thought be was at Lucasfilm before leaving to play music).Audio: Polk S15 * Polk S35 * Polk S10 * SVS SB-1000 Pro

As did I ... God I miss Layne
Good for them to occupy the top 10 and then some! It's been a long time coming(not that I stream anything) I think they have been severely underrated for a long time. I hope their new album smashes some records. (Pun intended)🤑

Music Direct still seems to have copies for sale if anyone is left here trying to find one (or another) copy.
