For those of you who don't read minds.. That's 10,000 Days by Tool.
According to Billboard.com, Volcano has set a May 2 North American release date for the new TOOL album, entitled "10,000 Days". The 77-minute, 11-song prog-metal odyssey, which is said to be "packed with plenty of eight minute-plus twisted riff-a-thons, odd-tempo polyrhythms and the band's trademark, eerie interludes" (according to Kerrang! magazine), 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.

As previously reported, TOOL will play their first U.S. show since late 2002 when it headlines the Coachella Valley Music & Arts Festival on April 30 in Indio, Calif. No other U.S. dates have been confirmed.

Afterward, TOOL 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.

haha, I was actually just coming here to post the release information. I'd read "early may" a week or two ago and was waiting until there was more information. I can hardly wait!!

I believe Lateralus was the last album I purchased in a store and 10,000 days will be the next.
The 77-minute, 11-song prog-metal odyssey, which is said to be "packed with plenty of eight minute-plus twisted riff-a-thons, odd-tempo polyrhythms and the band's trademark, eerie interludes
I think it just moved a little.

Well, I was more speaking of the "eight minute-plus twisted riff-a-thons, odd-tempo polyrhythms" but I'll take the eerie interludes as well!

Disappointing album name. Makes me think of the Disturbed album. (I'm obviously not much of a Disturbed fan)

Makes me happy.

Makes me sad.

In any case, I expect a good album. They've had plenty of time to put out something good.

I present Tool as exhibit A in my claim that genius does not always equal awsomeness. They've nailed it a few times, but to me, every album has been a serious hit or a dreadful miss.

Looking forward to seeing which this one is.
