Kabir at TDN wrote that Maynard says the Mastering of the New Album is almost complete! The CD should come out in spring - they already have tours lined up overseas, and apparently they're touring in the U.S. afterwards. DAMN I'm excited I also heard that there are several 10+ minute songs on this new cd :o I love their long songs. I can't wait to hear this new CD and see what they did this time. All their stuff is classic to me. This is great news. And you are right all of Tools stuff is classic.

Tool Unveils North American Tour PlansTool will begin a North American tour of theatre-sized venues May 2 in Seattle, the same day its new album, "10,000 Days," is released via Volcano. The seven-minute first single "Vicarious" begin garnering radio airplay over the weekend, ahead of its previously announced add date today (April 17). The three-week North American tour, the band's first since 2002, follows Tool's April 30 headlining appearance at the Coachella Valley Music & Arts Festival in Indio, Calif. Afterward, the band will spend the first portion of the summer playing the European festival circuit, with dates on tap through July 9 at Finland's Turku Festival. "10,000 Days" is the follow-up to 2001's "Lateralus," which debuted at No. 1 on The Billboard 200 and has sold 2.3 million copies in the United States, according to Nielsen SoundScan. Here are Tool's North American tour dates: April 30: Indio, Calif. (Coachella) May 2: Seattle (Paramount Theatre) May 4: Oakland, Calif. (Paramount Theatre) May 5: Las Vegas (the Joint) May 6: Phoenix (Gammage Hall) May 8: Dallas (McFarlin Auditorium) May 10: Denver (Temple Buell Theatre) May 11: Kansas City, Mo. (Memorial Hall) May 12: Minneapolis (Orpheum Theatre) May 13: Chicago (Auditorium Theatre) May 15: Detroit (Fox Theatre) May 16: Toronto (Hummingbird Theatre) May 17: Philadelphia (Tower Theatre) May 19-20: New York (City Center) May 21: Boston (Orpheum Theatre) www.billboard.com/bbcom/news/article_display.jsp?vnu_content_id=1002345334

Having heard "10,000 Days", I have to say I'm underwhelmed.
Compared to most other Alternative artists everywhere, it's still well superior to them by quality standards. But by Tool standards, this is a rather disappointing record, arguably their worst to date.
It just sounds surprisingly conservative in form, a reprise of "Lateralus" in many ways, as though their primary aim is to write epic tracks, and they obsess too much into that that they don't inject growth and maturity into their sound.
This doesn't change that Tool are a stand-out band that puts most other bands to shame. But I feel whoever expected Tool to go the next bold step forward and ante up where "Lateralus" left off will likely be disappointed here.
Sincerely, Noah Eaton

I love this cd. IMO it's their best work since Aenima. Rosetta Stoned is def. the stand out track. And i love how The Pot starts off acapella. But the thing about Tool is I prefer listening to all of their cds from start to finish. I actually think Vicarious is a step back compared to the other songs it doesn't quite fit in with the sound of this cd.

Tool hammers fans at BlaisdellReview by Jason Genegabus Despite an almost 40-minute delay at its start, Friday's Tool concert didn't disappoint the band's faithful fans. Instead of performing in the much larger Blaisdell Arena, the band erected its elaborate stage setup in the more intimate confines of the Blaisdell Concert Hall. That meant a better view for everyone in the audience and also helped alleviate some of the shenanigans that accompany a band like Tool. Just as with their 2001 concert at Andrews Amphitheatre, signs warned against "standing on chairs or in aisles" and "moshing or crowd surfing," and that possession of "any item or action deemed to challenge public safety" would result in immediate expulsion. More than a dozen security guards manned metal detectors at the front doors, and while liquor was available for sale outside, no drinks were allowed inside the concert hall. As a result, there was little pushing and shoving at any time during the show, unlike Tool's San Diego concert earlier this month, when more than a dozen people were injured during the band's set. With no introduction, Tool tore into "Stinkfist" as soon as the curtain went up. As in 2001, the stage setup might have seemed a little confusing to some in the audience. Maynard James Keenan, dressed in tight black pants and shirtless, remained on an elevated platform next to drummer Danny Carey throughout the performance, while guitarist Adam Jones and bassist Justin Chancellor stood closer to the crowd on opposite ends of the stage. Four large video panels provided a psychedelic backdrop to the music, with images of smoke and fire interspersed with clips from Tool's music videos providing incredible visual stimulation as the band powered through "The Pot," "Forty-Six and 2" and "Jambi." A few minutes later, Keenan picked up a megaphone that was hooked up to the sound system, alternating between it and his regular microphone to perform "Rosetta Stoned." Both the megaphone and microphone sounded incredibly muddy, which rendered Keenan's vocals practically indecipherable throughout the concert. The highlight of the night came during the seventh song of the set, when Metallica's Kirk Hammett was introduced as a special guest on "Sober." While Jones is no slouch on the ax, Hammett appeared to feed off the crowd's energy and turned in a searing solo before leaving the stage with hugs from everyone in the band. As the concert neared its end, Tool played "Jesus Christ" before Keenan abruptly lay down on the platform he had been standing on all night. Soon after, Jones and Chancellor joined him, followed by Carey a moment later. Instead of walking offstage and returning for an encore, the four remained there to soak in the adoration of the crowd, with Keenan sitting up after a minute or two and imploring the audience to make more noise. Once they did, Tool gladly gave their fans another two songs to scream along to, finishing up with "AEnima," the perfect ending to a tight set by a band well versed in whipping its fans into a frenzy.

They just announced 2 shows in Michigan for the beginning of July! I can't wait, the show last fall was just stellar. I hope they still have the lasers.
