New album out Aug 30th and is titled Fear Inoculum. Fingers crossed it's worth the 13 year wait ffs
Yeah... I'm excited but cautious at the same time.. (I haven't listened to any of the leaked live songs yet, trying to save it for the whole album at once..)
I wasn't a huge fan of 10000 Days.. While i would still consider it ok, it felt like it was just a bit of a drawn out artsy mess, songs being made unnecessarily long just cause they could be..
13 years is a long time to wait between new music, and I am afraid that its just not going to live up to the hype.. (I have no doubt it will still be classified as amazing though, as there are enough die-hard Tool/Maynard fans that will take anything that is offered and declare it as gospel - sort of like Mike Patton fans)

In summary, I'm hoping for another Undertow, not another album of 11 minute songs of the same note played artistically....
Also, I'm pretty excited, I've got Aenema arriving on vinyl this week...
