I don't know what this load of bollocks is going on about but it appears TOOL are quite hard at work. I was not particularly enamoured with 10,000 Days but I have a feeling that they will throw a new, beastly move into this new mix. Good times.

Hahaha, I hate those bloody newsletters. The Tool website is full of such bollocks all the time. Although at a quite skim through it, that newsletter was pretty hilarious. I'm sure it will be another 2 years at least before a new album comes out. Although I still listen to 10,000 Days now though and think it's amazing. It was wasn't quite the leap forward from Lateralus that the latter album was from Aenima, and is not quite as colourful and varied as Lateralus either, but I still think the songs are huge and glorious and emotionally amazing. In fact it sounds more like 10,000 Days should've come after Aenima, and then Lateralus after that, if you see what I mean. Anyway, I do hope they will do a bit more experimenting on their next album, and some more lovely things. 10,000 Days was a lot more heavy and aggressive than Lateralus, but I do prefer it when they do lovely things like Reflection and Schism, and 10,000 Days (the song) and Right in Two (which I thought was an amazing song indeed). And more tribal joy like The Grudge, that's also what I want. Please.

Although in the world of progressive enjoyment, I now think that Astra are the new BEST BAND IN THE WORLD (TM) after seeing them last week. Blew my bloody socks off, even more than Tool did. Good christ.

Whooooooooops! Meant Jonny K.

Ah, I thought maybe the B stood for Boy, as in Jonny Boy.
