If we’re to believe the latest rumors a new TOOL album will be released ‘soon.’  Let’s get right to it.  First we have Justin saying it’s “in the oven” (around the 9min mark is the goods for those of you with little patience).  This can be taken in a myriad of ways, what kind of oven, at what temp, for how long???!?!  More questions than answers but!!

Then Danny is a guest on the Seth Myers Show and Seth says the album is “coming sometime soon” and apparently Danny acknowledges this.  Now to me this is flimsy as all hell, *BUT* then Reddit comes in and two posts fan this itty bitty teensy weensy small flame to something of an inferno.

But wait there’s more!!!

– I recently met someone who has connections to the band, which have enabled him to get free tickets and also a chance to meet the band.
“He says the album is in mastering. Obviously he might be shitting me, but he hasn’t lied to me about anything yet. At the very least he’d be more likely to have actual insight than the average bozo.”

PanamaRed987 chimes in with: “Definitely plausible since they have used Bob Ludwig from Gateway Studios in Maine to master ‘10,000 Days.’ Would Danny be on the east coast for the whole week just to be on Seth Meyers? Maybe, but maybe not.”

These Redditors make for a very convincing argument to the validity of a new album coming soon.  In this writer’s opinion I am sold on the East coast trip and the Bob Ludwig connection.  Either we’re continuing to get played or we may very well see a TOOL album very very soon.  Comment your thoughts on whether you agree we’ll see new TOOL soon or not!!
