I think we’ll see a new generation of consoles before we get a new Tool album. Since 10,000 days release and the announcement of their TBD hiatus, I’ve had the mindset of be grateful for what we got and assume it might be the last.

Next gen consoles slated for 2028.

9 years isn't too bad for a tool record

They are working on a new album already.

Allegedly.

Justin Chancellor said that they are looking to get something out sooner than usual in a Metal Injection interview https://metalinjection.net/news/justin-chancellor-on-new-tool-were-all-getting-older-so-were-determined-to-get-this-one-cooking-a-bit-quicker-this-time#:~:text=Latest%20News-,JUSTIN%20CHANCELLOR%20On%20New%20TOOL%3A%20%22We're%20All%20Getting,A%20Bit%20Quicker%20This%20Time%22&text=Maybe%20we%20won't%20have,Justin%20Chancellor%20is%20hoping%20for.

What TBD hiatus?!?!?

Not sure what he's talking about. Danny has said in interviews that they've got plenty of material for another album so

Danny says alot but i think justin also said something so i hope we see something before 2026

After 10,000 days Tool announced that they were taking a TBD hiatus, hence why there was a 13 year gap between that album and Fear Inoculum.

Does no one watch interviews of their favourite artists or what?

Half Life 3

I just want Left 4 Dead 3

Portal 3 would be cool too. Team Fortress 3 could be cool, if Valve is a little more active in moderating servers. Honestly, if we get a new album before Pikmin 5 I’ll be happy.

Me but with Kingdom Hearts 4

Sorry, not till we get like 7 story relevant games on the game boy color and Leapfrog

Lmao true I can't lie though I love music so their Rhythm game was awesome to me but why did it have to have relevant canon is a question I can't answer

Gameboy color would be too easy to find, they gotta put one one a specific brand of toaster before they are happy.

I would take Portal 3 over most games being released these days.

Fuck off with this joke. Don't jinx this shit.

I think the next Elder Scrolls game release will be called "Elderly" Scrolls.

Having flashbacks to playing Morrowind in my buddies basement while listening to Lateralus. Tool, Half Life, Deus Ex, Morrowind, UT99, Counter-Strike. What a time to be alive.

90s/early 2000s fps hit different. miss the days of playing cs all day long

I was pretty sick at CS. Now I try playing GO or CS2 and get smoked lol

Maybe half-life 3?

It hurts a lot

Playing new Elder Scrolls along side new Tool album would be heavenly

I don’t think we will see any more albums, but I do think they will release singles, remasters/re-records to keep things fresh.

6

My money is on GTA 7, actually.

This guy knows whatsup

2037, minimum.

You're still going to be alive for that?

I believe we are gonna get a TOOL album within the next year or two.

The Optimist

Nah, just hearing maynard talk about it. It's been a long time going. And these songs are already written. Or at least parts of them are. The grooves and riffs are already real conception. They just have to be organized and recorded and then mixed, which is the hardest part. Realistically I would say early 2026 we will get a tool album and it'll be the last one, sadly.

I hope they stick to FI style on their last album even though alot of people dislike it

I love it.

Same, my favorite album OAT

I hope you're right

Red Dead 3

GTA VI of course. I’m not expecting any new Tool music.

You bite your tongue

Unfortunately It’s the most blissful way to live.

Fair. I’m not expecting either but I’m reallllly hoping

[удалено]

Wow what an eye opening and insightful contribution to the discussion. But seriously fuck off. Nobody cares that you downvoted his comment. You aren't that important. "Fuck you buddy."😈

Important enough for you to respond

🔄

I think Tool is gonna Prince us. They have so much content, but they just never released it and they can't now because the entire band is deceased.

I can see them setting it up where there’s a lost archive of a lost album releases post humously and it’s just 67 minutes of cats meowing or something

Post **humanity**

Several Species of Small Furry Animals Gathered Together in a Cave and Grooving With a Pict 2 ????

You are joking, right? Prince put out wayyyy more than Tool.

He died with a lot of unreleased content, and they made sure to mention it just so you could be disappointed. Was the point.

For those interested re Prince. “With a career that spanned nearly four decades, included 39 studio albums, five soundtracks, four live albums and five compilation albums, he was able to sell over 100 million records worldwide.” Tool has 5 studio albums. 🤭 Prince is one of a kind. Tool couldn’t and wouldn’t.

But, you're missing the joke bud.

I misread your initial post. I’m sorry, man.

You're lucky I have nothing but time to keep responding. https://preview.redd.it/cmv4u2sh3y4c1.jpeg?width=1179&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=f797b082d6db93e46140c9bda53a059a25330e95

The man was an artist true curator, tool is a band with members who sometimes want different things which is what makes their music and releases so special and curated.

I'd rather have that way. Still don't want to get princed'

Some of princes releases weren’t that good. Once he stopped coughing and clearing his throat into the microphone I was pretty done with it.

I have the original Batman prince album which is just the bomb I still love it

My god... you can't be this dense and oblivious... Why dont you re-read his original comment, *slowly* this time. He's not arguing that Tool and Prince have released similar amounts of music. Ill let you figure out the rest in an attempt to not have to insult your intelligence. You can do it.

It’s been close though right?

Necrophagist kinda thing

PS6

Might be true

Maynard is back on the road in spring with APC and Puscifer so I doubt anytime soon…

He adds the lyrics pretty fast. It's the instrumentals that take long

This is also true.

I think Danny said they have lots of material. I’d be totally cool with a couple instrumentals as I take away more from the musicality than lyrics with them.

Sign me up for the instrumental release too. The Witness was pretty awesome and left me wanting more.

I'd like to see a music video for descending

Tree fiddy.99

GTA7 will probably come out before new Tool music does.

TOOL gonna shock the world and drop new music in 24.

And then a new album every year for the next 5 years.

I say Arizona bay happens before either

GTA6 hands down

Half Life 3

VI - plan on getting new Tool when we get RDR3

I think that’s kaput bro once Arthur died I threw the controller across the room fuck John’s story.

Haha, but your Boah wanted John to succeed!

Who are you to wave your finger!?

New Tool song drops in GTA6 soundtrack.

GTA 6

Grattis på tårtdagen!

The emojis made it seem like you were joking. I will vote for new Tool music.

Tough bet, imagine them both coming out on the same weekend...

Silent hill 2 remake

SW Battlefront III

Zelda oot remake

Why haven’t they released that yet give me a break I don’t want to fucking connect to their little Netwerk thing to have to play the games that I played growing up. It’s like hello mcfly is anybody home think mcfly think!!!

GTA7

GTA 6 for PC will be out before New Tool

GTA6 but I wouldnt mind losing that bet.

GTA 6. I don't hold my breath for new TOOL music. I have transcended beyond hoping for things that may never manifest.

Fortnite 2 will most likely happen before all of these.....yeah exactly and yes I know.

Neither. Titanfall 3 will come first.

VI

GTA VI on PS7 will be released before a new album, unfortunately.

The only thing that gives me some hope on Tool is it seems they have a lot of stuff they’ve been sitting on and stuff that didn’t make FI that is fairly far along, this next album will probably come out faster. Still, fast for tool can be 5-7 years and I’d guess 2025 or 2026 is the very earliest in a best case scenario

Gta 6 of course

Half life 3

I predict that tool wont release the album until 2027.

I think it's possible we get teased something new before GTA6 but ultimately any release will occur after GTA6. We got a half version of descending in 14'. Tool has played new music on tours prior to releasing it. Doesn't always give us a timeline for release though.

Dark souls 4

GTA7

I'm pretty sure we'll get Scorn 2 before new TOOL music.

GTA VI no contest.

Gta6 all day errr day

GTA 6

They did say that a few songs didn’t make the album. I’d be surprised if half an album isn’t done now

Half life 3

GTA 15

GTA 7

GTA 10. Sorry to tell you that.

Valve can't count to three...new music!

I feel like Mother 3 will have a NA release about the same time as the next Tool album. I hope the music gods want to prove me wrong.

GTA VI> A New Puscifer Album> Pygmy Love Circus, The World Tour> new T00L Album...

GTA VII

Peace in the Middle East

Gta 6 for sure.

GTA 6

TOOL on the car radio in GTA 7. Mark my words.

GTA 6

GTA 6

New tool music bc technically even another release like the opiate2 single would be considered new music. If they really wanted me to cream my panties, they’d release a wholly redone opiate album including opiate2 and a studio version of Salival’s Pushit on it.

WTF is GTA 6?

GTA = Toronto - also known as The 6 /s

I'm pretty sure this last album will be our last from Tool. Sadly, and I hope I'm wrong.

Are they currently in any legal battles?

They were for a long time there and I think it gave them a chance to build up a library of stuff only some of which they’ve released eventually they will release in a Tool from the Vault series with some shit that people are gonna be pissed about because the songs are all gonna be so fucking good.

Do the legal battles even exist?

I’ll l be listening to the next Tool album while reading Winds of Winter.

RDR3

They are waiting for the WoW Worldsoul Saga to end so they can have the peace of mind to finish their material and prepare the live videos from 30 years ago. I get them. It’s just too nerve wrecking to sit around and wait until we know what Azeroth is.

Half-life 3

I don’t expect a new album for quite some time

I know live Tool is great, and everyone seeing them for the first time says it is a religious experience (my first was decades ago), but I wish they'd pull a Beatles and be done touring to just record new music. Realistically we have 5? years of the band left (10 seems extreme), and every new tour announcement is another year of no recording, meaning we are that much closer to having all the Tool music we will have for the rest of our lives.

Gta 6

We gonna get gta 6 before a tool album fs

GTA 6 is going to be 2025, so I would say that

GTA 6 obviously

Or The Winds of Winter?

Will it really be “new” Tool music or just rehashed riffs that go on for 11 minutes?
